My 92 SE has severe engine and tranny problems. Would anyone know of another engine/tranny combo would work?
thanks,
J.

 

Yeah, any eng/trans from a 92-94SE. Save yourself the trouble and headachs.

 

 

why wont you 3rg gen guys stop keeping it a secret and tell everyone that you can put in a vq35 in there out any real problems... well maybe alittle superglue but that it

 

You can put a 300zx Twin Turbo engine in it.

 

What about eng/tran/ecu(with harness) from a 97-99? Am trying to save the car, without dumping in more than she is worth.
What are the headaches you mention?

 

I had a B20Z in mine...

 

If "your" pocket is "deep" enough you can swap just about any FWD V6 into your 3rd gen including the VQ. There are times in this car enthusiates world when you have to stop and think "Is it worth it" But to be honest, I don't think there has been anyone who have attempt this swap. Heck maybe if someone took the plung and cherry pick a VQ in a 3rd gen (just to see how things line up) we might have a better idea what it would take. Keep in mind what YOU said

 

hey, check out www.enginereplacement.com they quoted me at $1275 for a jdm VE with 30-40k and they check out with the BBB, The VE is a good engine and if you dont want put anymore money into the car then it is worth go with another VE.

 

also, do a search and find the thread " Diary of a JDM VE Swap" or something like that, I think you would find it very helpfull

 

the headache isn't worth the extra torque...

just get a VE motor/tranny and call it a day
