My bad, The Gloria/Cedirc are the M45 and the Cima is the Q45.
I would also like to add that the F50 (Cima) does have the VQ30DE-T available as an engine option to.

Also Heres the website in english, but I cant find any detailed engine specs on the cars

 

ive seen this engine put into a skyline, they did it due the the lower weight of the engine and the same hp rating. i think it was in a superstreet or one of those mags not too long ago

 

that ebay auction clearly states no ECU so no way you could use the whole engine :-( but the manifold and pistons sure. And then turbo that motha!

 

I actually now own Tilley99's DET Pistons they are going in my car as we type. the vq30det can also be found in the CIMA ( a japanese car).

The compression is 9:1 the intake manifold flows so much better than our cars too!

The reason Tilley got rid of these pistons was because he is going to put a 3.5 in his car that all.

I'm about to put 15 lbs of boost on them next week so we will soon see what they can do!

 

If the intake manifold different from the mevi also?

 

so 2 people are going to do the 3.5 swap Tilly and MardiGras.

 

Yes, much different but it is not a direct fit it needs to be shaved in a few areas to clear the hood

 

My bad, I didn't mean to be a d1ck, I was just in a hurry when I was typing because I had a meeting to be at, and that was the first thing that flew out of my fingers.

 

Yeah, the English version of thier JP site is pretty worthless. Sorry about seeming like an a$$.

 

Its ok dont worry about it.

Maybe I would feel better if you bought me a Q45 or M45...

But seriously I wasnt offended by what you said. I was wrong with my statement, it was the Cima and not the Gloria. At any rate just keep in mind its the internet and some people take it seriously, a little to seriously sometimes. Then all these stupid thread wars start and a Mod has to lock/delete the thread uneccasaraily.

 

Its not a typo the VQ30DET does exist and is powering the Nissan Gloria/Cedric.
I hope your not a nissan fanatic...

 

typos happen, its all good, and now we got a weird editing rule. just explain it after (like you did) and everything is cool

 

..now, is that possible??

 

the twin turbo? i dont think it would fit, but you could take PARTS from it

 

There is no such thing as the VQ30DETT. There's the RB26DETT, and the other one that's used in the 300ZX TT (forgot the exact model.)



There is no point in TTing any VQ30, as this has been discussed over and over again. Forgot the exact reason though.....someone refresh my memory.

 

um....why wouldnt there be a purpose to twin turboing it? also isnt the VQ30DETT the twin turbo 300zx engine? i could be wrong...not sure

 

looks like a nice custom 3rd gen. and the VQ30DETT (w/ 2 Ts) is the twin turbo version in the 300zx. guess the internals should fit, but thats a huge project, good luck

 

huzzah, i was right

 

rb26det is the only one that exists, single turbo older skyline (rwd) motor. Oh yeah it's just a though I think it would be cheaper to just buy some forged pistons and lower the compresion with some brand new pistons, then use older pistons from the engine that will cost you 3 times those pistons. Just a though so don't flame

 

well you need a guaranteed fit...so why not get them from a nissan engine. also low compression ratio, you need for a turbo job. so it was MADE for a nissan turbo. not tons of sources for aftermarket pistons that arent custom

 

nope, the model in the 300zx is VG30DETT. Very close though

 

MOST of the time twin turbo is sort of for show.. ie "my car has TWO turbos." when in fact many people with SupraTT's swap the twin turbos for ONE larger turbo (if they are looking for max HP) i'm not sure if skyline owners do the same thing, or 300zxTT owners etc.

 

Nope Skyline owners usually go with upgraded twins. There was a thread that stated why in the supercharged/turbo forum (i think) a while back but search is down so...

 

VQ30DET came in 3 cars

Gloria, Cedric and Cima

i'm also looking for a VQ30DET, from a 96-97 Cima

will be expensive, hard to get, might require a rebuilt, but HELL, talk about rarity and of course, a 280+ horsepower maxima is sweet

oh yeh... this is my first post so hi everyone!

 

Well I talked to my (HOOK UP) today and he said that a new engine will be 1500 and used one will be 500 to 1000 and to get it over here will be 1500-3000 so I said NO.I will just have to get some custom pistons and rod instead. Sorry !!!!

 

One last thing what up. (KLiNkER)

 

There is a guy in houston that installs motors and he said that one of his friends has the VQ30DET in there maxima and it is just SICK....He said once i get the money, talk to him and he will hook me up with one....So im saving up!

 

wow, thats sick! Imagine a maxima with the same horsepower or almost the same as a supercharger with like 10 psi. To get this to work isnt all that expensive if u think about it. People spend what? 2500-3500 for a supercharger and all the extras to get up to 10 psi (around 330 hp?). This is a stock engine that will produce 280 hp with no strain unlike a supercharger that although doesnt do a heavy amount of damage will do a lot if u continuously boost at that type of power. Install is probably 500 for supercharger or a little less? There is a VQ30DE-T in Paterson NJ, only 25 minutes away from me. If i knew how to put that b!tch in my car or if i knew someone that could do it i swear i would grab that sh*t quick. Then you have the hp of a supercharger for even less than a supercharger or abotu the same after customized install AND you have room to get faster because of the well built engine.

If MaxAttack's resource is right and someone actually did this, then this may be the next mod for maxima's. Civic's, CRX's, all these Honduh's and acura's have been able to upgrade their engines from stock to GSR's, and prelude's, etc. Its about time us maxima's had the opportunity to do the same thing. But thats some serious customization unlike the bubblebacks which just drop the engine in....

Maxattack please get more info on how this guy put the engine in his car

Oh and for whoever is wondering why search has been down for so long, its not down, just not available for people that have not donated

 

I live in Houston, where is he located so I can go talk to him. Do you have a number or address, can you pm me please. I would really like to know, you have take all the internals out of the VQ30DET and put them in our motor, and throw the block in the trash, haha. Please pm me.

 

OK I will. You're wrong. It's rated at 280hp.

 

lol.... only use twin turbos for show?

here, check this out there is the top 10 supras in the US (power wise) and a lot of those guys are twin. Big first turbo makes small pressure, and takes the brunt job. The second, smaller turbo, essentially multiplies the boost. this is how turbo diesel trucks and big rigs make 50-100 pounds of boost. dont try to tell me for one second that twin turbos dont serve a purpose
