Just subscribed. Great video! I’ve been wanting to do this swap on my 260z for so long but nobody else has documented the swap. Please continue to document every part of the swap like you’ve done here. I look forward to part 2!

I’m k-swapping my 280zx. What style engine mounts are you going with?

@windows_down_ Жыл бұрын

There's nothing off the shelf but probably start with the tf-works mounts for S chassis and build off of that

The Honda K series is a great engine, but I just can’t see how it’s worth the trouble and expense when you can easily turbo the L28, or swap in a RWD Nissan KA24 DOHC, or SR20DET. This Honda swap must add thousands and thousands of cost with custom trans Adaptor, custom cross member , different trans, etc…

@windows_down_ 2 ай бұрын

Definitely not cheap.. L28 is great but it's an old design: 2 valve, no vtc, exhaust manifold right under intake, less efficient, etc. Wanted something more modern. SR20DET with a trans is outrageous now, over $7k sometimes. KA24, not well informed on them, but I'd guess that trans would have to be upgraded for 350+hp and not sure on engine internals. If I could chose again, may look more into 1JZ more, maybe slightly cheaper overall than K series, but hard to say

wow perfect timing with what im trying to do with my 280, do you have a list or links of what parts you ordered? thank you for this video.

@windows_down_ Жыл бұрын

Nice! I definitely don't have all the parts yet, but hit me up on IG I can share what I have so far

@@windows_down_ sucks, i dont have IG, can i give you my email or something? also what's your plan for engine/transmission mounts?

@windows_down_ Жыл бұрын

Yeah sure I'll email you. Both mounts will prob be custom. Trans I may build off/modify the OEM 370z trans crossmember.

I have the same setup. K24 cd009 in my Datsun 240z. Unfortunately the collins adapter appears to be too thick and my clutch fingers are rubbing against the slave cyclinder. Have you run into this issue?

@windows_down_ Жыл бұрын

Ahh interesting. I haven't yet installed the clutch, but that sounds like trouble. What clutch are you running? I have a ZSpeed clutch but I'd assume the clutch fingers are the same size as OEM. I also have the 370z trans, which has a concentric slave cylinder as opposed to the external on most cd009's. Unsure if that will help or hurt me here
