titan motor in a S14

[TTNSX]

I'm looking to do something a little out of the ordinary. My buddy already has a LS1 waiting to drop in his S14, I've been thinking about staying in the nissan family. Maybe even twin turboing it. I can get the older titan 5.6l motors for about $350. I think they have a wider angle head design than the LS series (90 degrees), and I've heard they won't fit without some crazy fabrication. Anyone heard any different? I would like to go ttV8 either way, I've heard the 4.1l vh41de works. if I can't get a v8 I like, I'm just gonna do a VQ35DETT.

Dan has been researching all of this for our cars next year. You can e-mail him or mike if you want. They may be able to help.

yea, I met Dan once when I worked at gran turismo east. I'll get in touch with him.

Chris Forsberg has a Titan V8 in his 350Z. I know it had a lot of drama, but it's working out now. It took him almost 2 years to get it right.

ha ha, yea I was hoping to have my car down less than 2 months. I'm ready to get back into drifting, I'm just tired of the SR. hmmm... maybe rotary. damn I'm smart. I think I have enough parts to put a 13b together in the shop. wonder if I can talk rick at mazmart into loaning me a 4 rotor.

I would have to say....wow good luck with that. Really the LS1 or LS2 is the best V8 option right now from what I have heard from Dan. It has more R&D behind it as far as a swap into the 240 goes and parts are cheap and easy to find. I understand trying to be different, you just have to be ready to pay the price to be different....which is time and money :)

Don't listen to the bandwagon crap you will probably hear. The masses do things like this because it works ;)

[TTNSX]

yea, I might just look more into finding a LS1. my friend Daniel (who I spoke of in the first post) made 320rwhp and 340rwtq with only a slp exhaust on the camaro his LS1 came out of. pretty impressive to me considering my stock S14 made 127hp and 143tq. thats a huge gain, and probably cheaper than getting a SR or the KA to those same levels. but were definitely looking to turbo his, he's hoping for 800+ hp. I don't really know why. just to say it has it I guess. I'm looking for a much lower, streetable number. around 400 give or take. and it's doable, reliably. and I'd still be looking at 20mpg hwy. The only thing I hate, is how "redneck" it sounds. "let's throw a V8 in it". but I think the advantages outweigh that. ha ha, then I'll only be left with getting rid of my blue emerald paint.

if u get a 26B in, like ur saying u can get over 700hp all motor

It sounds redneck as hell. Oh well. I hate rednecks, but it's the best option for what we want right now. NA V8 power=less cooling issues and lots of cheap torque :)

Yea, I think rick sells those for around $100k. no way I'm getting that. could always do a 20b.

redneck it might be, but the camaro was fun to drive, didn't have to wait for boost to spin tires. I can only imagine in a car that weighs way less.

I don't think it'll be nearly as tough to get the S14 up to par with the FD. (504hp and 336tq on a GT35R @ 18lbs) god I miss that car. it had to have been the loudest car I've ever driven. but even with the greddy ti exh, the turbo was still louder. I just want my s14 to spin 285's in 3rd like the fd.

[OneSlow5pt0]

if u want to be different go 20B or 13B rew

but not gonna be cheap...iv always wanna to see how a 240 rotary stacks up against a RX-7 since there bout the same weight

also dont forget bout the RX-8's Rensis engine...it probbly be better for DD

[OneSlow5pt0]

but LS1s are good too:)

i got a LT1 and LT4 kit sitting in my garage:D

[TTNSX]

I need to post up pics of my shop. I've definitely got the parts to put a 13b together... might be missing a housing tho. I've got a LS1 on engine stand right beside a fresh Sr20 with built bottom end and head. I think the only thing original on that SR is the crank. just need a turbo for it. I've also got a completely stripped S13 coupe for the SR. It's off to get caged next month. ha... I've even got a 3000gt VR4 motor. with forged pistons and rods. maybe i just need to sell a bunch of stuff. like the 3 stock fd exhausts. NSX exhaust, and springs. it's a mess

QR25 and 5 speed from a 2005+ Frontier...... noone likes the motor but 271 whp and 252 wtq on 5 psi says a lot.... it'd be .........diffrent.

and cheap as fuck too.

[R32Dragon]

The twin turbo VQ sounds good, lookn at about a 8-10K job depending on fab parts, mods, ect. Cheaper alternative would be a fresh VG30DETT from a JDM clip.

[TTNSX]

ha ha.. I work for Z1motorsports.. I can get it cheap. I can get an older VQ for around $300. Ideally I'd like to do the aps kit, but that is a chunk of change.

Who is this??? Tell John I said suck it please :D

I'm making 304 whp and 289 wtq on 8.5 PSI stock block, stock head, stock timing maps -2* base, stock ECU SAFC tuning, pump gas, I'd run more boost but I was happy breaking 300 at 8.5......... 450-500 whp would be cake on a built bottom end and deffinatly different.

The crank for the 2007 Spec V, and Spec V only, is now fully counter ballanced and the factory redline was bumped to 7K.

I don't know, so many choices.... maybe I'll just burn in and buy a honda

Hondas are for quiters :doh:

Tracy: This is Will... I'm in the parts shop. I'll be sure to tell John to suck it. he's gotta get the PS3 controller out of his ass first.

I say go Titan if you are looking for something different. LS1 is a strong motor also. I've felt both. I have to say the titan is torquey. Either way stay V8
