FATBOY Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hello my friends, well my l28et is starting to act up and i have some funds to do something crazy. The subject of a motor swap came up. Mad props to anyone who has swapped rb's and v8's but i want some tips on doing it but i wanna be original. although i can generate more power out of certain other motors i want alot of reliability, and why not go with one of the motors on ward 10 best 6 years straight b4 being replace by the vq35. so i think im gonna do vq30 out of a MAXIMA.... any input or guidance?

hoov100 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 My preference would be a vg30 over a vq30, but from what I hear the vq bolts up to the VG trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenfood Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 im no one to take guidance from but IMO VQ > VG, the VG's in my area IMO are sad and under powered but i havent spent time with them and the people around me doing high powered nissan V6 swaps are all using VQ's i myself am attempting to use a VQ30 turbo on my RB20DET powered 280ZX build aluminium block aluminium head (correct me if i am wrong) not much weight, 3L and 6cyl whats not to like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATBOY Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 @ovenfood, have u already put the turbo in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenfood Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 no unfortunately that project keeps getting pushed back :< i am still making the manifold/adapter but thats really only an hour or so of work and some machining away from being done, but the engine/car need more molestation before i can use it so its on the back burner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
