bkjmr Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 My bottom end has blown and so I am on the lookout for a new engine. Low Mileage Engine VQ35DE. I have a non rev up, am I able to put a rev up engine in? Quote
Neilp Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 the looms are different, you may be able to change it if you get it with the loom. HR is a no no though, too much difference Quote
bkjmr Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Ok I'm after a non rev up engine then. Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Neil, Why do you say there are too many differences? I'm running an HR engine in place of a revup. Abbey did need to build a new wiring loom. Didn't think there was much difference between the DE and revup Quote
Keyser Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 What you doing with the old engine I have one with a blown top end, put em together we have a whole engine Quote

Didn't think there was much difference between the DE and revup the revup has exhaust cam control.... I know all about your engine change as i was about to do the same and it simply wasnt worth the hassle. I spoke to alex about it before and i've decided to steer clear of it. If the op does go hr, it means, new loom, new gearbox, new clutch, new manifold, new cats, new bonnet, new strut brace amongst lots of other things. Best bet is to get an non revup block and do a straight swap. How much did you pay to get your engine change fully complete out of interest? Quote
planetsurfer2 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 A small fortune... I think it was about 6.5k including the engine, gear box and other bits from ZMANALEX. It was about the same as having the old engine rebuilt with new pistons and bits. The Z is currently at Abbey have the GTM TT installed. Quote

That was the reason I looked at the hr as I was thinking about twin turboing one Quote

It was about the same as having the old engine rebuilt with new pistons and bits. The Z is currently at Abbey have the GTM TT installed. I saw it there the other day when I dropped mine off. Very very tidy installation it looks too. I wasn't jealous at all .... honest!! To the OP, it would be worth calling Abbey as they may be rebuilding a motor at the moment. Worth a try! Quote

For that price i would go for a LS engine swap , wish I did instead of getting mine rebuilt ( which cost 3.2k ) Quote
spursmaddave Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 With the price of older Zeds dropping so much does it really make much sense dropping a new engine in? Quote

That was the reason I looked at the hr as I was thinking about twin turboing one I agree that is quite a lot. We need to start getting some of these ominous FI projects on the forum! GTM make some good sh!t though i hear their customer service is not that great. Anyone know how much torque the standard HR block can take? Quote
bkjmr Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Ok bumping my thread. I'm after a low mileage VQ35DE non rev up engine with proof. Would like at least a 3 month warranty. Could the mod's give the thread a bit of a clean up please? Quote
bkjmr Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 What you doing with the old engine I have one with a blown top end, put em together we have a whole engine I'm not too sure yet. My guy is going to take it out and have a look to see if it can be reconditioned or not. Quote
