I think when you and Dixon get your projects up and running in street legal cars, especially if they are everyday drivers, then we have a basis to modify them.

One off race engines are interesting, but not very applicable. It must run reliably on the street, day in day out.

My car will be 100% street legal, street registered however given its a 4.5L turbo it wont be my daily driver!

I just think it would be good to have a section devoted to the VH41 & VH45 instead of having them in the Q45 section and Engineering sections.

I think it would make it alot easier to sort through the posts and people could find answers easier

I also think it would be good to have a topic where by those who have used aftermarket parts can list what they were, price, brand, etc. Makes it alot easier for those who want to go wild on the VH engines. I'm sure John could make a long list. And my list is well on its way.

Just a thought.

Thanks

I think it's a good idea. The VH is becoming popular for swaps.

Unfortunately... not many of those swaps are ever completed.... in fact, are there even more than half a dozen running ones (in the world) that are known of on the internet?

That is my point. Lots of rumours, little documentation. Why Ezekial's and John Dixon's projects are so important.

I am (and have been) trying to get the admins to create a V8 forum, that would cover the VH, VK45 and 56..

I'd like this also, as I'm about 75% done with a VH45 swap into a 1991 rx-7. I had to do month of frustrating searching on here trying to find information on this engine, and I still really haven't found as much as I'd like to know (it's mostly speculation). I found more information about the VH on hybridz.org than I did here.

If we had a v8 section, then people like ezekial and JD (and me whenever I get this done) can publish the info on our projects so that people who will do this in the future will have an accessible information bank to get their swap/build info from.
