I was curious I have a 93 Max Se and i was wanting to replace the motor and was wondering whether or not the VQ would fit?

 

Sure...but why not put a small block in it if you are going through the hassle of swapping.

 

So how hard would it really be?

 

Why man, that ve is a better engine than the vq is.

 

Do a VQ35 and spank all VEs

 

that's a lot of work for some extra torque...

 

physically it would probably dump in.

now knowing what's attached to an engine...how are you going to configure the rest of it?

mounts, tranny, electrical, sensors, wiring, ecu, etc etc...IMO waste of time for small gain.

 

I still want to see someone do it and document it.

 

There was a VQ30DE-K swapped into a 3rd gen on sale on ebay a while ago.

Personally, I think it would be a waste unless you are going to swap in the VQ35DE.

 

Why not spend the money on boost? It might be cheaper.

 

since you have no respect for the VE, give me your tranny, spindles, axles, motor, mounts, and anything else required to swap from VG -> VE. After this is done, sell your car (or, better yet, give it to me for parts!) and buy something else.


edit: or you could simply RTFS.

 

Exactly where in that quote does it imply he doesn't respect the VE??

 

actually... so far the vq30 seems to be a bit stronger than the vq35. i'd probably stick with the ve and try finding the limits of that. iron block, forged internals, dohc, variable cams and intake... can't get much better.

 

everybody keeps mentioning vg->ve swap... some one did it/figured out how to do it?

 

Someone showed me a japanese racing site, and to my disbelief, all of the new 350z's were using the VQ30DE-K's instead of the 3.5L

But they were twin turboed...

Easy, sell the VG and buy a VE.

 

he wants to replace the righteous and almighty VE with the inferior vq (it's so inferior, i put in in lower case . . . and spit on it *ptooey*)

 

that is a no-brainer. buy an auto trader and find a VE 3rd gen. call the seller. arrange to see the car. with a friend, drive your VG 3rd gen over there. buy the VE car. drive it. have your friend follow you home in the VG car.

 

*sigh* you guys are soooooo misinformed....

call Stillen...
VG->VE/VQ Engine Conversion Package
Part Number: 504330
MSRP: $575.00
Our Price: $350.00

make sure you mention its the conversion package for the VG or VE...if they say they don't have it try this part number 504130

 

Has anyone purchased it yet? Does it work?

 

are you serious

 

i heard someone did it before...

 

I definately remember that kit, in fact I received a few PMs with people asking me about it. I think Stillen kept it under wraps for some reason, just like the rwd kit they released only 2 of, those are rare!

 

I still have one kit in the garage. It's for sale.

 

hmmm... I almost want to call dibs on this since they are so rare. Whats your asking price sir?

 

If you want you can use my car a project for it. I'll drive cross country for it. Sounds like a good deal

 

wow
