Nissan K11 engine swap

Arno411 · Dec 17, 2013

Hi I am new and was wondering what would be the best engine to put in my K11. Have a few options atm Subaru B4 audi nissan and toyota but was wondering what would the best/most powerfull engine be to put in. I was possibly thinking of putting in a Suzuki Hayabusa engine in there aswell. I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks

Arno411 · Dec 17, 2013

or an RX8 engine ? All these are on offer atm and was wondering what could work and what one will require the most work but what one will have the best pay off.

Custom engine loom/bell housing/clutch/flywheel... best engine? for what? a shiney hp figure? torque monster? Or bragging rights?

Arno411 · Dec 17, 2013

I want to make a sleeper. Something that will be very fast. And Bragging rights.

You can forget the subaru engine in a K11 not enough room at all

You've listed makes but no engines? You'll need more than just the engine as said above

Any engine is as powerful as you make it. Bike engine have poor torque figures so suffer on hills

Anything converted to rear wheel drive (rx8 engine) needs a floorpan rearrangement.
Same again for 4wd with the added work for the front.
Easiest 4wd job will be the pulsar conversion as its a standard SR swap with very little front work and a simple diff assembly mounted to the rear

Audi, Toyota I cant say without knowing what engine or drivetrain

You're looking there at a lot lf work. It will be a space framed front end and it will require the bulkhead to be cut to allow a lart of the engine and gearbox to fit. After that it's fairly easy stuff

Last car I built like that that took a year just to get everything in place (working on it weekends only)
Took a couple of months to finish after that

Is this your first engine swap then I take it?

yes you are correct so i shall need guidance

Maybe we'll skip the 2JZ for now then eh.

Go for a simpler GA16/SR20 swap. Plenty of guides around I presume. The SR20 being more common than the GA strangely enough
Or even better a CG13?

+1 for the SR20DE(+T). Would make a good project I reckon.

Everything. Best off getting a whole donor car. Everything is there to get it running

Don't you think they're becoming common though?
Maybe its because it gets said alot on the GA16 forum and other forums too :/

I had a feeling a similar thing would pop up eventually

All in good time my friend

Although the standard American engine is like a monstrous 5.4l V8... making 100hp... they are poor at building engines

Sounds complicated. Complicated doesn't make power like simple does. Hence - LS drag cars ALL day

Isn't the RB25 a single turbo (DET) ?

h701micra · Jul 13, 2015

Can get whichever you like with a few parts swapped over

AutoBiscuit · Jul 21, 2015

I wouldn't bother with an RB lump in a Micra - unless you make room by chopping your legs off (plus it's heavy!)
I got one in the boot of a Fiesta - front wheels barely touched the floor and rear suspension bottomed right out

I'd most likely use the Zetec lump. Silver or Black (blacktop preferred) - simple, cheap and quite tune-able.
Can fit longitudinal or transversely.
