I think it said he was planning on TT but I could be wrong. With just the few bolt ons he has he shouldn't have a problem running high 12's

VQ35 swaps are becoming common swaps in a lot of different Nissan vehicles and there no slouches even being NA.

There is absolutley nothing wrong w/ the 6 bolt 4G63 motor. It'd be one of my first choices for a 4cyl RWD swap. 4G63>>>Subaru motor

For the most part I agree with Nick on this, the only real exception I see is the EJ22T from Subaru...and that is if we are talking stock vs stock internal capabilities. The 6 bolt 4g63 guys make amazing power, they are fairly readily available, have good aftermarket support. The EJ22T guys make good power, but for lack of availability you often see EJ257's used instead.

I will sell you my KA-T setup for the right price.

Not a bad upgrade if you wanted to stay NA. But as far as price goes you could get a vg30dett and do a few nice mods and make WAY more power than a VQ.

IMO, the only upside to the VQ is that it is a lot lighter. Thats it. It doesn't make as much power as the VG30DETT out of the box...so its worthless to me.

[fanaticrockford]

The VQ35 is a pricey swap even staying NA thanks to NATS and VTC. along with it being a newer engine. If you wanted to do a VQ swap and turbo it I would go with a VQ30. It would be a far easier and cheaper swap. A completely stock VQ30 can handle 450-500hp. Another good thing about the VQ is the 6speed.

[GhettoFabulousCRX]

You can find a VG30dett for around a grand. The jdm ones on ebay are a little more but there is nothing different about them (other than smaller turbos). 6 spd? Realy not needed unless your gonna roadrace or something. More time shifting less time spooling. I'm not saying the VQ is a bad engine just in something like this it wouldn't be worth it. By the time you drop the compression and turbo it your gonna be in deep cashwise. The VG's are pretty strong and can take 600 HP with stock internals. From what I've read the VQ will take 400-450. And It won't even fit under my hood without hacking a hole in it.
