I know this may sound ridiculous but is there any way, even through modifying, that you could put the M45 4.5L in a G?

 

hey if u have alot of MONEY WHATS NOT POSSIBLE!! HAHA i duno

 

yeah, i saw a guy do it in a magazine. I know another guy did it with a 4.5 from a Q and turboed it. with enough money and time you could probably put whatever you want in there

 

if you have the it can be done

 

Kel has been working on that mod for over a year (with twin turbos).

Also Top Secret did it, also with twins. Top Secret does everything.

With the extra work it is not worth it. The best bet is a GTM 4.2 stroker kit with a pair of big turbos like the APS extreme kit.

 

throw a rotary in to the G instead.

 

Only worth it if it's a tri rotary with three turbos.

 

search "project g45"

 

mmmmm just one question, why would you want to go thru all that hassle and spent money???

 

Dshuts - Interesting question. Same thing Audi did w/ their S4 (threw their V8 into the A4). Also saw an episode of "Rides" where they took the engine from a Lexus GS and put it in the IS and made it a drift car . As said above, almost anything is possible.

Fassster10 - Why not? It would make a great show car or drift car or daily driver for that matter....imagine pulling up to a modded G and smoking the @hit out of him off the line?

 

I can do all that with my TT VQ.

 

The m45 motor would be the wrong one to use anyway

 

Yup, check out top secret's car

 

I forget his name but a guy on my350z is/was doing an LSX swap (though you could choose different LS motors like the LS2) into a coupe, the idea being to blueprint the process and sell it. By selling your engine, transmission, any other nonrecycled components it was supposed to cost less than a turbo setup for massive all motor potential. LS2's with just a cam swap put down 420+rwhp, he was planning to be over 800rwhp on the LSX with a big nitrous shot. I only checked the thread once and it was months ago so I have no idea of the status.

 

Jeez...all that engine work & bling under the hood and he's got the ghetto hood stand to keep the hood open (I forget the technical term).
