You can move this to the general for sale forum if you find it inappropriate here but I thought most of the people that are interested in this would probably be browsing here.
I hate to sell this but I am moving in two weeks and I would also hate to move it, and I need money for the move, so this is a "tester" but I will sell if anyone is interested (and will consider parting out if you offer me the right amount).
VH45DE 4.5 liter dohc v8 from 1990 Infiniti Q45- this is the motor that will out torque any 4 cyl. There have been several guys to swap this on nico. Its a powerhouse. This motor has low compression and needs refreshed, I was gonna rebuild with low compression Ross forged pistons for forced induction. Missing the AC compressor and PS pump. I paid $400.
300ZX twin turbo 5 speed transmission with shifter assembly and driveshaft yoke, low mileage (30,000 according to importer) shifts fine, even includes stock shift knob. I paid $500
OS Giken triple disc clutch and flywheel setup, will handle over 500 ft lbs of torque, lightly used hardly any wear, awesome setup. I paid $800
Dixon CNC machined aircraft grade aluminum adaptor plate to mate 5 sp transmission to Q45 v8. This uses the 300zx starter and transmission and includes an adaptor to use the 300zx flywheel on the Q45 crank. Its the **** and was extremely expensive. I paid over $1000
My price adds up to $2700 dollars but I would take $2000 for everything... and thats almost all you'd need to swap to S13. The driveshaft yoke is there to get a driveshaft made (relatively easy) the transmission has everything you'll need, the engine clears the S13 framerails you just need to make some simple motor mount adaptors and notch the framerail if you use the factory alternator. What its missing: motor mount adaptors, custom driveshaft, harness/ecu (was going to use standalone or you can use factory Q45 stuff), headers (need to cut a couple inches out of the stock ones and reweld), and you may need to modify either the shifter hole or the shifter linkage (one or the other). If you go with junkyard parts and can handle the minor fabrication necessary to get it in you could get this running for less than $500 and out run just about any 4 cyl.
Also available:Eaton M112 supercharger from cadillac XLR-V including water to air intercooler ($800)front mount water to air heat exhanger for intercooler ($250)electric water pump for water to air intercooler ($100)1.5 gallon aluminum resevoir for water to air system (has big lid you can pack with ice). ($120)$1000 would take everything, a simple CNC adaptor will bolt the supercharger assembly onto the top of the Q45, replacing the ugly factory intake manifold, and the pulley more or less lines up with the crank pulley so you will probably need to swap to either the 6 rib ford pulleys or just have a custom pulley machined (I was going to get the pulley machined to accept a 36-1 crank trigger wheel for the standalone).
anyway I didin't know if anyone on here would be interested so I put this up, I will part out if the money is right.Andrew,
