Skyline Engine?
Hows the room doing? when it comes to cars one of my favorites is the vr4, what i have noticed is that when cars have the awd technology it can be heavy weight. i have also heard the awd skyline isnt that light weight either. even though the 3000gt has alot crammed into it i have noticed the car can have its weight reduced dramatically as well. but what i am curious to know is if the RB26dett type engine with the transmission can be installed into the 3kgt vr4 machine. i do have doubts about it though since the engine has an east to west type of design instead of a north to east type of engine design.
 this is a question i havent seen on the internet but any help would be appreciatedthanks again streetsailor

Why would you want to do that? It produces less HP and torque then the Mitsu engine does (I do realize that the Nissan engine can be built past anything done to a VR4) It would be a bear to try and get it in there and get the stearing hooked up.

If you were going to waste your money doing an engine swap you would be better off swapping in a 2jz. they are much better than a RB26DETT.

They're also designed for a rear wheel drive car correct? there isnt a 3/S that is rear wheel drive, the skyline is designed for AWD just like the VR-4's are.
And. The 2JZ is not that much better. If it even is at all.

Re: Skyline Engine?
The 2JZ might not be a better engine, but the aftermarket for everything that bolts up to is a hell of a lot better, and much easyer to get ahold of hear in the states than anything for the RB26DETT. If do a swap it would be to an LS1, which may happen in a year or so.

Re: Skyline Engine?
Scratch that LS1 conversion I was planning on for next year. I finally found an LS1 powered kit car. The kit wont be for sale to the general public for a couple years, but that should give me time to get enough money together.

very interesting question eh?
 not sure what musashi was typing seriously like what or tell me about it, it sounds great that yogs reply was about the steering comment, but the money would probably cost alot for this swap eh? i just wonder if the car would be good in those car shows if it was done, maybe not for functioning for a driving type car eh?, then someone mentioned an awd rb26dett to being rwd with the 2jz-gte, then comes american muscle whats interesting to know is if its been done before, i have seen grand tourismo having the 3000gt to being 1200hp  but in real life isnt 10 seconds in 1/4 mile for a 3000gt vr4 all its capable of cause thats all i have noticed  just a few commentsany other comments would be appreciated thanks again streetsailor
