[Smith000006]

sick tint

[b20vtechb]

how did you get the hood to close over the motor. mine is like over an inch from closing

[slamdbusa]

@b20vtechb

I got the hood to close by cutting out the under reinforcement (the X patterns) around the middle of the hood, and bowed the back to curve the hood to clear the motor, basically making a reverse cowl induction hood.

[b20vtechb]

@slamdbusa

do you have any pictures so i can get a better idea of what you did?

[slamdbusa]

@b20vtechb

Check out the VH45DE section of NICOclub (dot) com.

[blackychan328]

what tranny are you using?

[slamdbusa]

@blackychan328

95 Z32 non-turbo

[HousTelvani]

450sx??? it's a 180sx...

[slamdbusa]

@HousTelvani

The body is a hatchback yes, but the USA never got an official 180SX. Since the motor size is a 2.4L we get a 240SX. This is neither, it has a 4.5L V8, thus it is a 450SX. Do you understand?

[HousTelvani]

@slamdbusa ah ok :D

[feanforbeans]

Hey How difficult was this swap I really need to know this motors are so cheap ????

[slamdbusa]

@feanforbeans

If you know what your doing and nonstop working on it, a couple of months, if you know nothing about monster swaps then forget it.

[feanforbeans]

@slamdbusa ok well im looking to fit it into my s14 so what modifications will i have to do in order to get this engine and tranny in to my car..... and did you run into any problems with this swap...

[slamdbusa]

@feanforbeans

Yep, lots of issues. Are you going with a mount kit from somebody, or are you going to build it yourself?

[feanforbeans]

@slamdbusa well if i can find some one that sells a mount kit i would go that rout...so wat issues would i run into doing this swap??

[slamdbusa]

@feanforbeans

Mazworx, Xsessive Mfg, any fabrication shop.

Issues:

Wiring, exhaust, alt, p/s, no a/c, hood interference, transmission shifter location, sway bar interference and excessive smiling just to name a few.

[feanforbeans]

That thing is sick

[Mpbresenio]

how much hp do you have sir??

[slamdbusa]

IDK, haven't dyno'd it. Should be around the 280 mark.

[Mpbresenio]

the engine sounds new to me?? well the whole import thing is new to me.. what engine did it came off of??

[AggressiveAgnostic]

@slamdbusa

stick a little turbocharger in there and youll be pumping out close to 350rwhp! imagining that gives me chills. im doing a vh45de engine swap too except its going into a jet black 96' 40k mile old garaged 300zx n/a

= D wish me luck!

[slamdbusa]

350? Some have been getting up to 460 with just 6-8 psi. on stock internals. I might go and have the motor reworked with chevy rods and pistons to get more power and cost about the same as just getting custom pistons for the VH. IDK right now

This car has been dismantled though, I now have it in a 95 shell. The fit is much better.

Good luck on your project.

[shadowsaiyan]

Hmm... are you on coilovers? I've been waiting to put on my chuki skirts and kouki valances until I get rid of my s-techs for some coils, but your car isn't slammed and it still looks pretty good...

[slamdbusa]

Thanks, they are on coil over kit that I modified to have the most travel, but they're not true coilovers.

[matthewchan]

goood shit.

what rims?

i gotta say i prefer the pignose but that looks nice.

[slamdbusa]

The wheels are Enkei RS evolutions.

[evilet1111]

nicely done.

it's rare to see a good vid on youtube anymore.

[slamdbusa]

Thanks.

[mmmurmomspie]

looks fun, i like the sr and rb swaps, but this one looks a lil more fun, bet gettin used to driftin in it is kinda hard though?

[slamdbusa]

No, instant torque, and lots of top end = fun!

[onemothafucka]

how much power does it pull out?sounds beast

[slamdbusa]

Idk, never dyno'd it.

[shiftdowns13]

in about the 280whp neighborhood I'd imagine.

[uzbek2]

sick song whats it called?

[slamdbusa]

serenity, by armen van buren

[GReddySTi05]

wow dude thats sick, i mean i just heard of the vh45, is it an easy swap like a sr/rb? how hard is it to swap it?

[slamdbusa]

The swap overall is not too bad, not as easy as the sr, but more along the lines of the rb.

If you buy the kit to put it in, it will be easy.

[GReddySTi05]

nice

[slamdbusa]

I like techno music, sorry if you don't.

I also made a shorter video, without the music.

[Apuma17]

beats the hell out of building a t-ka or sr20 swap lol

[trombiki]

OMG Beautiful car!!!!!

Beautiful Engine.

i love S13

[RickaDRFT]

WOW!! i'll do the same!! good work on that 240!! wow!!! Love THaT sound!!

[razielus20]

cool buddy:)) s13 all the way - specialy with 4.5l displacement? :) S13 everlasting sport ride...

[bradhogan123]

what is that motor from?

[slamdbusa]

Infiniti Q45

[bradhogan123]

cool

[feanforbeans]

its from a Q45

[turboproto]

what transmission do you use?

[slamdbusa]

It has a N/A 300zx 5 speed.

[furious530]

what state are you in? because im doing the same swap soon but im not sure if the mazworxz headers are not only legal but would it pass smog? thanks badass 450sx bro

[slamdbusa]

I'm in TX.

The Mazworx headers do not have an EGR port, so if your state requires it then you will most likely not pass. EGR is only used by the car to control fuel economy at cruising speeds only.

You might give Mazworx a call and see if they can put a port on the headers for you, or you can make a set of your own.

[ph13rwun]

Actually, EGR reduces combustion temperatures in order to reduce production of oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

[slamdbusa]

okay

[jakcough]

thats it sr20det motor set for sale here .......

get your sr20det motor set here

[nissanR3]

damn that thing is sick.. honestly it lookes and sounds precious doing those burnouts. But its my opinion so....

[kamin28]

do you have a version without all the gay techno music?

[slamdbusa]

There is one without music. It has the same tittle, but has (short) at the end.

[dakenyannik007]

god damn!..yo the first  450 ive loved..diz gona go on my fav..btw wat song is diz?

[slamdbusa]

it's by Armin van Buuren, it's title - Serenity (Sensation White Anthem 2005)

[Broadcastw]

I aint going to lie to you...i've ben debating on what engine to do on my s13....just by seing your vid....it just made me sign off and go to the wrenking yard and pick up a vh45......for dirt cheap....i got the hook up......you think you can just simply make a list of the main things needed...when pulling out the engine....like the harness .....computer...what about the cluster guage....will i have to splice and connect the wires.......

[slamdbusa]

The main parts you would need are the engine, the engine harness, ecu, and exhaust manifolds, ( if you want to build your own). Optional parts are the trans if you want to use the auto, but the 240sx would need the q45 body harness, so I wouldn't recommend it. Just get an adapterplate and use the 300zx manual transmission. The q45 gauge clust will not fit the 240sx, but everything will run the 240 factory cluster, with the only exception the tach. You will need a converter from 8 cyl to 4 cyl.

[slamdbusa]

....and you will have to splice wires, and add relays to make everything work.

[catapaultpenguin]

my mom has that engine, but then again her car is a q45 :p

You never really see a v8 import like that, very nicely done I bet it sounds really nice in person

[slamdbusa]

Thanks, and yes, it sounds awesome romping on the gas pedal, lol.

[Enj01]

Great choice of music Trance Around The World - Arma Van Burren

[vdravin]

sick swap, IM planning to do mine soon, except in s14, whats the songs name btw? cool song

[slipperypanda09]

very impressed... i always wanted to see more vh45de in datsuns but in s13 is really sick. nice car man.

[VDubShawnC]

Dats a sweet ass swap

[rbpower03]

HA! Sweet, sounds great. Import version of a "muscle" car :D! I have an SR20DET in mine a buddy of mine has an RB20DET. Your swap sounds great, have fun!

[slurp9]

fuckin sweet!!! love the breaks too! PLUR

[killswitchny]

dude car sounds great. i am hardcore american muscle but the only import i like and have owned is a 91 240sx. awsome work. you have a nissan with a nissan v8! you must be one hell of a fabricator. and 6k is nothing on something like that! good luck with it.

[chidori91998]

like what and how much in cost and can u turbo it later on i knw nothing about the q45 but would like to have something different then thwe other ppl around here they have kat and sr and 2jz and rb

[slamdbusa]

First I had to fab up the motor mounts, by using hockey pucks, there is virtually no engine movement. I also wanted to have p/s, and it needs to have an alternator, so I fabbed those brackets too. The stock Q45 is auto, so I made the adapter plate out of 1/2" t6 aluminum, machined the 300zx trans to fit flush to the block. The drive shaft I ordered from Mazworx. The exhaust was also fabbed by me, so if time is money, and what I spent on parts I have more than $6K in the car.

[chidori91998]

so is it beter then the 2jz in away

[chidori91998]

is that alot of work to do that motor swap

[slamdbusa]

Yes, quite a bit fab work, but well worth it, lol.

[slamdbusa]

Okay, good, I'll make one without music, and shorter, lol.

[unharmonix]

Awesome video, awesome conversion! Great work! But please post the video up without music, can barely hear your car roaring! Who cares about the music :p
