G35 motor swap
im planning to buy a g35 coupe and i want to swap the motor to one that comes stock turbo. can the vg30dett be used easily. ive seen them with the rb26 but how much mod is needed? can anyone help?
Take Martin's advice and go the 2J route, just make sure you donate your VQ to my cause

No sir. The VQ motor only came naturally aspirated. Even in Japan in the Nissan Skyline 350GT and Nissan Fairlady (z33) the motors were non-turbo. The VG30dett came in the z32 twin turbo 300zx's. A turbo kit for the VQ can be purchased, usually setting you back atleast 4g's+ install if you aren't going to do it yourself, and at that, the motor can only hold 450 (i think) wheel horsepower before internals start dying.
If you want proven boost happy performance, check out the 350JZ that XAT is working on right now. The 2JZ power plant from the Supras has the most potential for the least amount of money.
Again, if you choose to swap, I am taking donations in the form of VQ motor and trans
