The OEM engine in the "wrong" car thread

Patrol4U is a company in Poland specializing in Nissan Patrol modifications. This 5th generation Patrol (Y61) was sent to the company for an engine swap. The company replaced the factory 3.0 L ZD30DDTi diesel inline-4 with a BMW M57 inline-6 making 260 horsepower and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque. The M57 motor bolts to a FS5R30 5-speed manual transmission thanks to a PMC Motorsports adapter, factory M57 flywheel, Patrol 240 mm disc, and BMW E60 530D pressure plate.

The truck was built in Finland and is powered by a 14.2 L Scania 142 turbo diesel V8 connected to a 10-speed transmission. The engine produces 400 horsepower and 1,500 nm (1106 lb-ft) of torque. The axles are sourced from a Mercedes truck and the body has been widened 30 cm (11.8 in). Everything sits on a custom chassis.

Tuned 3S-GTE in old Corolla can almost looks like photoshop , but a dyno sheet shows the car laying down 408 hp and 357 lbf⋅ft of torque.

The 1440 kg (3174 lb) car is powered by a 6.0 L M120 V12 from a 1993 Mercedes 600 SEL (W140) sitting on custom mounts and tubular crossmember. The motor produces 424 hp at 5300 rpm and 585 Nm of torque at 4800 rpm on a VEMS ECU, custom wiring harness, and 95 octane (E10) fuel.

Well that's a tight fit!

I don't think the oversized wheels are doing it's sleeper credentials any favours.
 
VXR
Especially that horrid wheel choice.

I get the wheel choice, they’re off the CL600 that probably donated the engine too. But they’re of the wrong era and far too oversized.
 
This 1971 Jaguar E-Type is powered by a 8.5 L TWR Group-C V12 producing 750-800 hp and 940 Nm (693 lb-ft) of torque.

Not sure this is quite OEM but it is a true Mercedes-Benz engine of a later vintage(2005) though heavily modified and in an earlier chassis(1993).

Does the "OEM" in the thread title mean the engine has to be largely unmodified?

I share my '93 Accord wagon in other threads but here's that same engine in a mostly unmodified state in my first car, a '92 Accord sedan. The H22A is primarily known for its place in Honda Preludes, but was also available in a few Accords from the late '90s and very early '00s. My specific engine came out of a Japanese-market 5th gen Accord SiR (wagon, I believe, from my serial number search. 190 bhp). It was never available in 4th gen Accords, but because the H22A is so closely related to the F22A that it did come with, the swap is as easy as it gets. The Accord's own engine mounts and axles fit up perfectly (Accord and Prelude transmissions from this period are largely interchangeable), pretty much just leaving you to wire up the VTEC and swap a few differently-shaped electrical connectors. It can end up looking very factory if you wanted it to, bumping the car from 125-140 bhp to 180-220 bhp depending on the spec of H22.



(This odd photo angle is because the focus was on the Acura Legend hood struts I fitted; I've lost many of my photos from back then)

It isn't. I don't understand that intake plumbing, but the valve covers are clearly visible, and that alternator would be rather difficult to drive if it were sitting on the side of the engine.
 
Seems like an awful lot of unnecessary work to get 480hp out of a platform that already takes the RB26 :confused:
