So... I know some other infiniti cars (M & SUV) come with V8's. Has anyone seen a thread or know of someone that has put a V8 in a coupe? Even did a google search and came up dry.

There is no way I am the first person to have this idea. Do you guys know of anything out there?

and if money was no object I would add twin turbos to the deal (and new drivetrain, tranny, rear end and brakes ofcourse). Can you imagine?

Thanks

 

the topsecret g has a v8.. i think somebody on this board is doing it also. i forget who

 

dam this idea crossed my mind so many times. drop a 5.6 v8 out of a titan and do turbo, exhaust, and tune. man the g would move! imagine what people would think. you pull up to the light next to a c6 z06 and rev, then he says i thougt thought those cam with v6's lol

 

I'm drooling now. That would be soo sahweeet!

That's what I found. A V8 from a totaled Titan. So now I just wana talk to someone that's done it or doing it?

cool thanks citymunky

 

I don't think it would be a good idea. Sure it will be fast in the straits but what about taking turns. G's front is already heavy imagine how much a V8 would through off the balance of the car.

 

there are a handful that i have seen over on my350z, the logistics of the swap should be extremely similar. the latest i saw was an ls1 or ls2 swap, the motor ended up weighing only 60lbs more of which about 35 lbs could be offset by relocating the battery to the trunk.

 

^wow only 60lbs, i would think LS1 or LS2 would be heavier than that. If its 60 lb it isn't that bad consider what u said, relocating the battery to the trunk.

 

VK isn't no heavier than a VQ with a TT kit, its all aluminum and not much larger. Most TT kits add 75 a quick lbs to the front of the vehicle.

I am doing two Titan VK5.6 G35 coupes. One with the Stillen SC and one with ITBs. Are you in Atlanta?

 

I think Chris Forsberg of Drift Alliance is rocking a V8 Titan motor in his 350z convertible.

 

Big thread of an LS2 swap into a 350Z

Lots of power, torque, and easy to upgrade. And fuel economy would probably be the same

 

q45 motor..i plan on attacking this one..if i can get my hands on one. build it up and TT..kinda like the mean build a member here is doin..good luck btw!
