Need some help w/ swapping engines. OG 93GXE has 215K and want to put the engine from a SE.
Questions:
Is this still possible?
Where and who to get engine from?
Will there be major modifications?
Any connects up in Nor CA, Bay Area?

Thanks,

 

Let me save you some trouble and abuse. It IS POSSIBLE, but would be too involved for what its worth. You will need the entire wiring harness from the SE as well as the ECU, and everything else that might be different. You're better off buying an SE and selling your GXE

 

Mahalo for the quick reply. Looks like it would be much easier to swap w/ same engine. Any suggestions Brah?

 

if u wanna go thru the trouble to swap another vg motor u can pick one up newhere for cheap....check junkyards, search online, etc, etc

 

www.car-part.com has a nationwide search.

And yes, stick with the same engine.

 

tip of the day, back whent he vg and ve where the only v6's in the states, nissan raced with the vg in the 300z's
and bajaed with the vg in the hardbodies and pathfinders.

just a tad of info for you.
it can be built. no one has tapped anything close to what it can do yet

 

that is very interesting to know...

 

try

motor works thats where I got my jdm VE from

I think the site is www.enginereplacement.com or something like that.

 

If you want to do a conversion you're better off getting a VQ35.

 

VG30ET would offer less mounting hassles than anyother engine and you can use your existing ECU + wire harness. Plus the fact that the engine will make over 400whp with bigger turbo, injectors and tuning make it the best option.

 

akoni,

this thread is sort of right in with what you are getting into, is more general but chock full of informed opinions:

I got my motor from the same place as N34JZ, Motorworks on Long Island. They have low mileage engines with warranties. Mine had only 24,000k on it, and two months later it still pulls like new.

 

can anyone advise how to determine if i have an SOHC or DOHC engine?

 

i put in a request for one now.

 

Yeah, read the top of your engine.
Or do you have a GXE all Sohc VG
92-94 only SE Dohc VE

 

Bow down to master Craig.
