Jimmy86 Posted July 29 Posted July 29 So I made the decision a couple of years ago when my old Ford V6 wasnt performing the way I wanted to swap in a complete 350z drivetrain into my Sierra track car. Swap is done now. Was allot of work to make everything fit. Had to make all the stuff myself so took a good 3 years. But basicly diy longtube headers/complete exhaust, upper part of plenum+intake pipe, rear sump oilpan, engineloom since i went standalone ecu. Fuelrails, coolingsystem etc. Basicly heads and engine block are the only thing I didnt touch. Enlarge gearbox tunnel to make the cd009 fit. Going to dyno it 5-6 september. Clip of it from the other day. 5 Quote
Jimmy86 Posted July 30 Author Posted July 30 I have buildthread on the swedish ford forum. In swedish of course but there is alot of pictures if anyone is interested. Sadly the forum flips my cellphone pictures all over the place so its kinda anoying. https://www.fordclubsweden.se/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=84816&start=360 Sunday 6 is dynoday. I'llreport back then. Will be interesting to see how my headers and upper intake will perform. Not runing a maf so intake is also alot bigger than stock aswell. (3.5" with 6.8" velocitystack). Still stock throttlehousing thou. Regards Jimmy Quote
Andy_Muxlow Posted July 30 Posted July 30 I like that a lot! Very unusual but cool none the less. Great job. Quote
Jimmy86 Posted 36 minutes ago Author Posted 36 minutes ago Cars been on the dyno! Sadly twice. Had some major ignition issues on the first try. I just changed the sparkplugs and reused the old coils that came with the engine. That was stupid but lesson learned. New set of coils and new set of NGK plugs fixed the issue. Car is a fuc"!%# beast now. Old engine dynoed 225 on the flywheel. This one put down 255whp. Along with the 6 speed and my 4.27 diff gearing its just mental. Will spin the tyres 1-2-3 gear. Car only weighs 1140kg/2500lbs without driver. Going to change the final drive to a 3.64 during the winter. Put togheter a few clips from yesterday and a drive from today. Enjoy! Quote
