yes yes. i know many of you may be thinking y. well I'm actually tired of fixing the ve bottom line is it has sat around to long and is really not going to peak performance unless it gets a fresh start. as if now it has a bad knock sensor, vtc that needs to be repaired and who knows what else. best resort looks to be replacing the engine or getting a new car. so heres the deal. i can buy my cousins vg motor off of him for a little of nothing. do you guys think its worth it or should i get another ve? also i have been looking around and can not find a tutorial on the installation process. is there anyone out there who can help me with this?

 

Its 100% not worth to swap to a VG. You basically have to swap the entire engine bay parts....just get a low mileage US VE.

Your title says VE to VQ swap. Thats been done once or twice. search it...

yeah vq not vg

 

It's a complete custom job,nothing just "bolts right up"..

Only two members on here has done the swap,one of them paid a repair shop a buttload of money to do all the fabrication for him,so he wouldn't have a clue on how to do it anyway,don't know about the other...Neither one of these people post here anymore,long gone...

So basically..if you are going to attempt this,none of us here could really help you with it,so you would be pretty much on your own..

 

Is there a reason you've posted this in at least two places so far?

 

so it would b open to all max owners. not just those of us which visit 3rd gen forum

 

I say do it be different,then later on a turbo? that would nice

 

Does anyone know about how much it would cost to fix a broken vtc chain on the DOHC motor? would it be better to just swap the motor or to fix the problem?

 

don't know until you tear into the motor to check for bent valves and such

 

I will be releasing a Full swap kit in the future, so all you have to is plug and play.
