Nissan VK56 engine in kurt's buggy 1st dyno 400WHP+

[RIPSNZ]

Hi Kurt, I'm building a twin turbo VK56 dragster at the moment and was wondering if I can e-mail you about where to get some of the parts I see on your buggy, if you search some video's under my name you'll see I'm not a time waster, thanks Robbie.

The idea was to have enough beans to pull 100mph+ in the washes and still run on 93octane. The biggest cork in a stock VK56 are the tiny cams and long intake runners tuned to low end torque. The stock VK cams are smaller than the Altima VQ35 cams, even with the VK having 20% larger disp/cyl.! C2 cams are popular in Titan trucks and C8 or C9 for race built (Chris Forsbergs VK powered 350Z runs a modified C8), Fully built out, they make pretty nice CORE or off-shore race engines.

Is that a manual tranny? I'm considering doing this swap in a 240sx so I need deets!

[kscherbaum1]

It is a Manual Tranny but it's not going to work in a rear drive application. It's made by Mendeola (5 Spd Sequential ) and it's a very expensive piece. I would recommend going with a six speed out of a 370z and having a trans adapter made for it by Kennedys...

[MisterHolaMan]

Who the hell's Kennedys?

[kscherbaum1]

Kennedy Enginnering in Palmdale Calif Google it.

[MisterHolaMan]

I didn't see that one on their site, but how much power can a z34 trans hold? I need something with really high potential like the z32.

Those are really good numbers on the stock heads!

[kscherbaum1]

Bone stock bottom end too... 40k miles on it.

Going to give us a 1/4 mile time on paddle tires? :)
