I was just wondering could you replace the stock engine in a 1998 Maxima SE with the Vg30DETT engine from a twin turbo zx. Or could you also replace it with the RB25DETT engine from a skyline. --THey have had these engines on Ebay for pretty low prices and I was thinking about getting one.

 

From what ive read, its not worth the trouble unless you have an income like Bill Gates.

 

Maxima = FWD

 

but the question is, can you take a 3.5 L 5th gen engine and put it in a 4th gen

 

if your a mad scientist not to mention rich you can do anything

 

amen

 

look for this thread to be closed shortly.

You can do anything, but remember, the max is FWD, the Skyline/300ZX are RWD, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out...damn near impossible...Just turbo/SC your max and have about 10,000 left over

u'll make more sense by doin a VQ30DE-K or a VQ35DE swap...

 

considering all the countless discussions on this board over time it has come to that the only feasible 'swap' is from the same gen to the same gen. this in itself makes the whole thing pointless, unless your engine is toast, since you won't gain anything from putting in the same engine.
