VQ35DE swap
Since right now i have a VG30, could it be done? Instead of box go to rack and pinion. I was just thinkin about it since a it is all aluminum, and b it puts out 287hp without any mods. It just sounded like a good canidate for a 510, since even with the v6 in my car i have plenty of room...

510rob, no kidding... Atleast the intake runners are nice and long. What ever happened to the KISS method? I bet if any of the hoozywink or doodad modulators go bad, the whole thing stops working. I'd figure:
Take that motor + (add)Decent Computer -(minus)75% of the vacuumlines and crap =more efficient, cheaper motor.

Having a photo of the engine sitting in an engine bay doesn't mean much. There's nothing to suggest it wasn't just plunked in there "just to see", and then those photos shared.
Dave sold that motor and turbos to someone -- don't know who. I think his 1200 would have been cooler than his 510 is now, but they aren't my projects.

I'm really impressed that there's enough room for the DOHC between the strut towers. I was under the impression that the conversion to A-arms was NECESSARY to swap in a vg30DETT (that is externally dimentionally the same as the VQ, right? Maybe the VQ has a bit higher deck height to accomidate the extra displacement, but it should be close) There even looks to be enough room for exhaust manifolds. As for too tall, who ever said a 510 needed a hood?
