Cost of a vk56 swap

OMGWTFBBQ · 09-18-2013, 06:44 PM

I'd be down to lend someone my 370z for VK swap development, considering I drive it less than 1000 miles a year LOL.

That's the easy part, would be down to fork over some $$$$?

Actually this is an idea that I am looking into simply because it is a rare combination. I just have to be different!! LOL Looking at an LSx based LS2 @ 450-500hp.

If they take bad checks then sure!

But on the serious note, yeah I would. This depends on what there is to be gained though of course. If I'm spending 10k to fit a stock VK into a Z then maybe not. Haha

The fact that you are using a Z sure that is rare but an LS swap is not rare by any means

I have seen many z's in many car shows and have yet to see one with an LZ motor! Ergo it's rare to me.

but i cant throw a rock at a car show without hitting 10 ls swaps.

personally i think its the most overdone thing in the car culture right now

That’s because it is the most cost effective. Look how many MHI turbo kits GTM has lined up to go out the doors. Same difference. I would love a VK56 option for this car, keep true to Nissan, and have a V8 under the hood

you are right you might not see many Z's with it, so that part is rare but the swap itself is................well....

If it hasnt been mentioned already the vk56 I saw at GTM was definetely boner worth for sure. Had I knew I was gonna be rebuilding motor / upgrading turbos etc this would have been a much better option. It practically looks like it belongs there

It's one is the techs car. He works on it every Saturday so keeps making small progress all the time. I will let ya know when I stop to check on the car in a few weeks. But seriously it looks like it belongs in there. So.......beefy no homo

Oh a little off topic but Lohit was awesome to deal with on the fenders and hoping to have them test fitted on the Z by the time I go check

So are they (GTM) making a kit or what? Lohit will take care of you for sure. Dont forget to post pics when complete

i've seen a pic of said 370z with a vk in it. looks sexy as hell

i would say this video makes GTM's plans clear.

LMBmikeZ · 09-20-2013, 05:49 AM

I like it!

i would love to see a true Z34 with the vk56 in it, not just the shell of one chris forsberg is driving in the drifting circuit
