This is also a good article, but look at the VQ engine in the picture..... If I had that thing under my engine bay... I would throw up on myself...

holy **** that engine is the holy grail for every maxima ethusiast.

 

Gosh, where did you find this great article, HELL, I want that engine if it was mounted to be RWD.

 

Awesome.

I think that VQ30DETT sounds better than RB26DETT anyway.

 

in addition, VQ is probably the best V6 engine ever built. it's realiable and smooth, and it's also capable being forced inducted. you can already see full of great testimony about VQs just from maxima.org.

 

Does anybody know how much that motor would cost? the VQ30DETT?

 

Yeah, that's a nice looking VQ... but did anyone notice this:

This is a single-make formula in which all the cars were powered by VQ30DE engines; the chassis were made by Dallara of Italy. Up until 2001, this series used the CA engine, but from 2002 switched to the VQ engine to gain both better performance and save costs. The engine is tuned to develop 450 ps, but long overhauling sites help reduce teams' operating costs.

If i'm not mistaken, I read that as an NA tuned VQ30 making about 443hp and placed in what amounts to an F1 car....

 

Yeah dude... could you only imagine what they must've done to get that kinda power... I wish nissan would sell this kinda stuff to us or at least offer it...

Nice find frosty, here is my new screne saver

 

I wish we could get some of those part!

 

 

If you look a the picture...notice the heatsheilds on both side of the engine. I think this is the vq30dett version.

 

Someone photoshop this into a max

 

Nice looking engine. It can't hold a candle to VG powah though

 

you make me laugh... thats why I'll kill you last.

Anyways, I wonder how high the engine revs in that F1 car. I love my VQ!!!

 

Nah, I'll put the 5.7L V8 Nissan Titan engine in my future Maxima

 

MMMmmmMMM.........dual TB's

 

i post lots of info on the racing VQ many times before. about hte skyline with VQ30DETT and the telefonica world series VQ30

 

I'll take TWO!!!!!

VQ30DETT.

Where's NISMO when you fuking need them.

 

AHHHHH! Not....big...enough...for...windows...desktop...

Why don't they make these things BIGGER?

 

so this is the engine going in the new skyline in 2k7? any other cars gonna be rocking this?

 

*drools all over keyboard, sees sparks fly, power goes out in entire house*

"where'd the VQ go?"

 

i'll join the crowd in takin one of those, thanks very much!

 

Just like to add an add in my IMPORT RACER! mag on the TOMEI PRO-34GTR.

Oops it's a RB26DETT:

Why is there a Mitsubishi engine on that very first wallpaper?

 

It's TOMEI...they do Mitsu and Nissans.

 

More pics of that TT VQ that I linked some time ago.

 

Yeah, less than the dual heat shields, the dual throttle body is blantent. However, that page did not say that this specific engine pictured was in all the cars. In quite a few places they make references to NA versions. I believe that series that I was referring to is NA only. Could be wrong tho. Still one hell of an engine!

 

acctualy i don't know, there have been peeps saying that hte VQ30XXXX with 470+ hp will be in it and other that say the VK45XXXX(current Q45 engine) will be in it.

the VQ30DETT was in a racing R34 put in by nismo

 

They really should put that 3.5 vq in the Frontier like they did for that race one
