@@Fl392 lmao I mean I like the car bro but doing an HR swap is the most pointless shit ever. Just boost the car and save thousands of dollars for an NA car. Yeah sure the HR has a bit more power than the DE, but it’s only a few ponies. It’s like spending thousands of dollars to go from a 1000 whp engine to a 1030 whp engine lol.
@@THXIIIRTEENso in my case, my DE 350z has about 225k miles. Do you think I should rebuild my shiet or do u think its still pointless on getting an HR swap cuz I was kinda going towards an HR swap tbh idk
@@claveecl1564 do you want to rebuild your DE because it’s high mileage and want to refresh it? 200k is high but these engines do last longer with good oil changes and maintenance. Also when you say rebuild, do you refer to refreshing your DE with OEM parts? Or a fully built forged internal upgrade? if you do an HR swap, you’ll need the engine ofc, the HR trans, wiring harness, and a lot more miscellaneous parts that you may not even think you’ll need. Here’s a video of a cost breakdown ( ruclips.net/video/-wT0yhVD85E/видео.htmlsi=LPtSEjZclKRxMhDj ) it’s for a G35 but you may get an idea. in my honest opinion, i think the cost will be very high but it all depends how and where you get your parts, like you could do it cheap by buying a trashed 350z hr as a donor car or sourcing junkyard parts but it can be a hassle doing all that back and forth stuff. I personally have a DE G35 and wish to boost mine with a fully built engine in the future, I think it’s cooler having a built DE just bc it’s the OG engine and you see way more boosted HRs than DEs so I like being the underdog, at the end of the day it’s your choice bro, I would say to just get a notebook and do a cost breakdown and compare. Since you already have a DE, you could buy a JDM DE from jdm west coast for around $1500 I think, all you would have to do is rebuild the engine and assemble it back, as opposed to HR swapping and having to do wiring and tedious stuff like that, and if you’re not experienced it may be very difficult. Also if you’re doing the labor rebuild yourself you can save money there, not sure what your intentions are, possible boost or track use etc. the HR is a good engine but for the extra 20ish wheel horsepower I don’t think it’s worth it. DEs can reach around 290 hp on rare occasions, HRs reach 320 on average fbo. It’s a small difference when they are naturally aspirated, a HR will handle boost reliably at 600 hp, on a DE to make 500 hp reliable you’ll def need to put forged internals. If I were you just make a list of the cost and what you would want to do, also as they say “do it nice or do it Twice” if you’re going to rebuild your DE you could build it on the side, buy cams, change gallery gaskets, etc do small little upgrades since you’re already there. I had a timing cover leak for years that I wanted to take care of, I was patient and send off parts to get polished and powder coated, i bought an OEM timing kit, months later i finally removed the old timing cover, refreshed the timing system and added some pretty painted parts. My DE didn’t need a new timing kit, but since I was removing the whole front end I said I might as well do it since I’m already there. I would 100% recommend change the small o ring gaskets and stuff like that. Sorry this was long any other questions I’ll be happy to answer.
@@THXIIIRTEEN wow thank you so much for this reply it was rlly helpful. But honestly I live in cali so its a bit strict out here. So my plans for my z was to maybe just refresh it wit DE OEM parts. I had my z for 2 years @ 195k miles nd havent had any problems gladly, other then getting a valve cover for the future since theirs oil innit. But other then that its pretty healthy so I’m not too worried about anything happening to it. But ima cross out that HR swap idea cuz it sounds like a lot for just a little difference nd after knowing how long these DE engines can last I feel like the best option is to refresh it nd maybe get a DE engine as well. Once again thx for ur reply
No wayy i was literally watching your videos on the swap like two days ago wonder how the swap finished. cause i was searching around on DE and HR swaps for my Z and your part 1 video appeared in my youtube recommendations Congrats man it sounds good
Need a "like" counter watching this😂 I wanted to swap my DE in my 08 M35 for an HR after watching Freah Kicks videos with the single turbo...then I came across the VK56DE🤌🏿 And with a supercharger thrown on, that's the route I wanna save to go for my heavy car. Don't really see those anywhere plus they sound wild
Fresh kicks is a big reason why I want a 2007 z lol I don’t wanna turbo or anything like that but z’s look so good and seeing him having fun with his makes me want one as a daily
I love the louvers that’s dope AF I have an 08 bone stock will be getting the Z1 Stage to clutch kit I’m thinking Rocket 🚀 bunny full kit but I do think you need a front bumper for aerodynamics it does look sick without it, but in higher speeds and on the highway it will help you. Nice swap
@@jponz85 I definitely felt the difference on mine … on my DE setup I was FBO tuned on e85 and the hr I’m not even tuned just FBO on 91 and it’s faster then my DE setup
Does the cruise control still work after the swap? I have a bone stock 08 HR I’m thinking of doing a single Tomie exhaust love the intake piping I built my 87 Turbo Supra intake manifold 2jz style relocated the battery behind the driver seat to run the boost pipes got a drift motion flywheel and cube shifter from Australia fully built the engine Eagle Rods Wiseco Pistons the Supra feels Super planted in a straight line I have an Open differential so the Z gets a little hairy foot to the floor but it’s much more flickable than the Mk3 Supra wouldn’t sell ether of them I’d probably part with my Yamaha before I did and I love riding two wheels but I want the Z as my Drift car and the Supra for highway pulls. Keep making content I’ll be watching for sure 👍
Ever have an issue where when the car warms up and the blade point in the middle the crazy vibration starts only in D/R while not moving at all brake being held on?
It's not worth it. I have a DE abd HR vehicle they're neck and neck till 3rd gear that's when the hr pulls a little. Just like the guy above me said, $3k + for swapping from DE to HR just to gain 30hp? That's dumb af...
You running the HR ac compressor with the new lines? Wotking on this for my g35 coupe...we are stuck, but going to look at the coilpacks, grounding and battery...we got no codes but dies out after turning on.
I have the Hr compressor but I still have my DE lines so right now I don’t have AC but in ur situation that sounds like it can be the ground or coil packs cuz mine was struggling to turn on and it was the ground and then it was misfiring baddd and turned out it was the coilpacks but let me know wat happens and if u fixed it
bro don't cheap out, go with saul or admin those fuus have blown so many engine and their always having to get retuned by saul cus of misfires or cud the fuel to air ratio goes off, etc.
Idkkk man I heard Saul has favorites I know people that got tuned with him and they had the same mods as other cars tuned by Saul and they ended making less because Saul gave him a “quick tune” compared to others … admin isn’t bad , Eclass is actually getting better most of my homies are tuned by Eclass and they been beating some Saul cars but honestly at the end of the day that’s what makes the VQ scene fun when everyone is tuned by someone different rather then everyone tuned by the same person
Is the HR really that much better? I picked up a super clean 06 rev up manual with 110k miles for a great price, however ive just seen a equally clean if not cleaner 09 HR manual for sale with only 60k miles for approx $3000-4000 USD more than i could sell my 06 for. Thinking of buying the HR and selling the rev up. Im in Australia and the hype for 350z isnt really there yet (im predicting they will go up)
Ima be honest with you , my DE was a revup it was a decent motor I was FBO tuned on e85 and it was pretty torqy but the only bad thing was the revup burned way more oil then the regular DE motor and with this HR motor I hit 2500k miles and my oil hasn’t burned or I haven’t had to add any oil and hr motor top end is crazy and it’s just a really good reliable motor I can feel the difference between the two
@@daytonadan2812 oooo i gotcha yea that’s what people say. my mk4 golf clutch went out and if this shop near me can’t do it imma just sell it to my buddy and all and imma just get a hr 350z. been talking to this dude with a stage 2 or 3 clutch recent put in his 07 350z and has 3k miles on it alr and it’s daily and mint

My opinion only… People do HR swaps just because of social media bs… Turbo’d my DE and I’m cool. Maintenance is king.
Only reason why I did cuz my homie sold me the motor for stupid cheap and super low miles so I couldn’t pass that opportunity up

all you need is the hr motor and test pipes ? and everything else de ?
