i just dont see any justification in replacing the vg30, or going with something other than that.

but, do whatever, prove me wrong.

 

AHAHHAHAHA you want to run a turbo like that on a Z32! that's GREAT!! and a VQ to!! awsome.

tell us how it goes.

the VQ is slightly wider and taller than the VG, it's a major job to get a turbo close to that size on a VG let alone a VQ. there are a few manifolds out for the 35, out of a Z. no idea how the 30 out of a maxima will fit sense it's a damn FWD car and the mounting is all ghey and shit.


also Largo it's "VK" or "VH" 45.

 

Dude are you serious about the VQ being bigger than the VG? I don't think they are. As a matter of fact why don't you get me the engine demensions of the vg to compare. There is a guy that has put a VQ into a second gen rx-7. I know the bay is cramped, but size will not be an issue.
Another point is that one can go with a single set up or dual. For simplicity reasons i would go single. But to the guy that's looking at doing this you really need to visit those sights i suggested and look into the boosted forums for some ideas. The turbos choice you are concidering may not be the best choice. And forget about people telling you it won't work if you use a maxima engine. They obviously have not actually seen one in detail. There would not be much fab work to get it in.
As i said earlier, you will need to get the ecu, engine wiring harness, engine, 350z or g35 6-speed tranny, an extra drive shaft, and the rest is just fab work. Might i suggest you take the time to make your own intake mani that will serve better purpose that any intake that is currently out there. If you use a 2000-2001 engine the intake can the reversed so the tb is at the front of the engine. But don't let that determine where the turbo(s) will sit, as that will be one if not the most important factoer in the engine bay.

 

BTW, turboing the VQ is no more expensive than any other engine. A good kit that has proven 350hp to the wheels will set you back about 3,500-4,000. Now add the cost of an engine 350 and and ecu 50 engine wire harness 100 your looking at 4k-4.5k. You can put together your own kit cheaper though.
Tuning the car is just like any other turbo car with the exception of a few creative ideas that some pioneers before you have figured out. Until someone takes the time to beable to rewrite the codes for these cars it will take just a little bit of creativity to get more power.
Now keep in mind that to the best of my knowledge knowone has made i serious attempt to build a serious motor for power. There are some in the works, but they are taking there time.

 

it will be more expensive than getting a motor that already came turbo, and has factory support for parts.

you might be able to put whatever, into whatever, but there needs to be room to make repairs, and maintenence and whatnot.
or are you just going ot pull the motor everytime you change plugs, or something else minor?

 

In this case that is not correct.


If you have ever looked at a VQ you will see they are far and away easier to work on than the VG. As a matter of fact you would be hard pressed to find an engine more difficult to work on based on the space it takes up. The VQ is a shade tree machanics dream for maintenance and the ease of having to do any work on it.

 

VQ's are easier to work on tenfold


VQ's are weaker tenfold


personally i'd take a vq

oh wait i already have one.

 

not exactly though, its swapping a motor in the car that never came in the car, and there is bound to be more problems that come along with that.

but like i said, do whatever you want, and prove me wrong.

 

I'm curious to just how you have come to this conclusion. Funny how the VQ is the engine of preference for road racing over in Japan. Then again those guys don't really know just how strong the VG is huh?

Please explain to me what makes the VQ so much weaker.
