What would be the best engine swap for a 350z and possibly still retaining the stock 6sp gearbox?
My opinion is a RB26 or 20B ROTARY :OMG:
What do you guys think?
Im looking at options at the moment as the car will mainley be used for drift
What's wrong with the VQ?
Our old pal the RB26DETT is indeed a nice motor, but it is aging technology, expensive, and parts are not readily available stateside. And rotary engines beyond a certain horsepower level are simply grenades. Oil burning, gas guzzling grenades.
To be fair magazine pages are plastered with 1000 HP Skylines and 600 HP RX-7s. But outside of dynos and magazine covers, why do you need that much HP?
So without further details, I'd say the VQ (in various states of tune) is suited to most streep, strip and track tasks.
All Hybrided Out
