#1 · May 21, 2007 has anybody performed a VQ swap ona gxe yet? Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · May 21, 2007 nope. not yet. #3 · May 21, 2007 U could be the 1st tho!!! #4 · May 21, 2007 id love to see that! #5 · May 22, 2007 ok looks like ill try, honestly us qg guys need something to look foward to #6 · May 22, 2007 The guy who pioneered the idea and the only one who can truly do the swap is Travis (trav4011) and he's a busy man. It will cost you at least $5-6k so start saving. And he doesn't live close to Canada, lol. Listen, you might get some rather negative replies on this subject, because threads like this are frequent, the threadstarter insists it's going to happen, gets all defensive, flamefest ensues, and in the end nothing happens. With that said, good luck if you are truly serious about pursuing this swap. Here's some info for you to chew on, please note that this pricelist is for SpecV owners, so understand that it will likely be more expensive (maybe considerably more) for 1.8 owners like yourself. ------------------------------------------------ FI-R VQ Swap Pricing Base Swap VQ35DE engine VQ35DE swap kit - CNC mount kit - Nissan VQ35 modified brackets (new) - Nissan VQ35 6spd bell housing (new) - Grade 8 bolts, nuts, washers Stock headers (not advised) FI-R VQ swap y-pipe Maxima 6spd engine harness Maxima 6spd ECU VQ35DE alternator VQ35DE power steering pump FI-R VQ swap intake/filter FI-R solid mounts for VQ swap Slim cooling fan kit New belts, fluids, hoses Modified VQ30DE A/C bracket (retains QR A/C compressor) Modified A/C system (wiring) Reuse existing exhaust system (not advised) Reuse existing clutch (not advised) Labor to modify QR transmission for VQ engine Labor to remove existing engine/transmission/wiring Labor to install VQ35DE engine/transmission Labor to modify VQ35 wiring harness ** $4995.00 installed ** Add $295.00 for vehicles without immobilizer system (chip in key) This price includes the exchange of your QR25DE engine. This is part of the reason why we offer the swap at a very reasonable price. If you do not have a good condition QR25DE engine (by good, I mean, no spun bearings, or damaged pistons/rings, valvetrain), please contact us privately to discuss options. Oil consumption is not considered a big issue to us. Options/upgrades- (all prices include installation) Stainless headers/y-pipe with flex section (+15whp)- 425.00 2.5" Mandrel exhaust with resonator, and muffler (+10whp)- 349.00 3.0" Mandrel exhaust with resonator, and muffler(+12-15whp)- 389.00 Apexi SAFC II (+5-8whp)- 375.00 JWT 250mm clutch- 335.00 Custom CAI system- 150.00 Fuel pump upgrade- 150.00 New VQ35DE engine cover- 110.00 **Nitrous Express kit (+50-100hp)- 950.00 ***FI-R VQ swap turbo system- (+150-350whp) 4295.00 ** Requires the use of a larger fuel pump and regulator. Also requires the use of the JWT clutch upgrade- 250.00 *** Requires the use of a larger fuel pump and regulator. This also requires the JWT clutch, and installation of our forged piston/rod kit, and basic rebuild kit, as listed below.. FI-R VQ35DE Built Engine (Add to base price of kit) - Carillo H-beam rods - 8.5:1 OR 10.5:1 JE pistons - JE rings, wrist pins and spiral locks - Cometic MLS head gaskets - ARP head studs - New timing components, bearings, seals - Labor to tear down engine - Labor to bore/hone, hot tank, and prep engine - Labor to blueprint and assemble engine ** $3795.00 (add to base price of swap) Optional items JWT C1 camshafts and valvesprings- 1400.00 Stage 1 Ported cylinder heads- 795.00 Stage 2 Ported cylinder heads(add 1mm over valves/install)- 1195.00 With built engine (low compression), and our turbo system, you will be capable of generating 550-600whp and 475-550wtqm in a completely streetable, daily driveable configuration. With built engine and nitrous kit, you are capable of generating 400whp and 450wtq with the same conditions. The VQ swap (in any form), does not allow you to retain cruise control. You will throw a check engine light (can be disabled if you wish), for various reasons, beyond our control. This does NOT affect performance at all. The codes are emissions related. Your vehicle WILL pass a tail-pipe "sniffer test", however, it will fail a OBD-II plug in test. Check your local laws for what is/isn't acceptable. We provide a 30 day "no bull****" warranty on the engine. If something goes wrong (outside of GROSS negligence), we will replace your engine, at no charge. You will be responsible for shipping/installation. We are very proud to provide a lifetime, no questions asked warranty on the engine mount kit. Smile If it breaks.. send it back, and we'll fix it, no questions asked. I think that just about covers everything.. if you have any questions.. please feel free to ask.

I understand but what are we looking at here as far as time? like, are you doing these swaps right now? how long would we have to be without the car? can you do this to a QG? how much extra work is there? thanks #12 · May 23, 2007 awsome travis i work on nissans all day 5 days a week so im used to how nissan does there stuff ive already removed 2 vqs out some pathfinders and 3 qrs out of 2 altis and 1 from a spec v so the work is not bothering me i jsut need the materials and figure a way to do it replacing the QG ill most likly still be asking questions lol i really like ht vq40s in the r51 pathfinders it had the same block with a bigger stroke that would be an awsome swap lol *i have to vq long blocks sitting at work to be processed by warranty* my boss said that he could probably work something out with me #13 · Jun 7, 2007 (putting on flame suit) Back from the dead... I too am considering this for my GXE and have these questions: 1. Does the XE/GXE use a different crossmember/kframe than the Spec? 2. Will the VQ35DE/6speed motor/tranny mounts work on a VQ30DE-K/Auto swap? I have rebuilt and swapped engines so that is not a concern. I am looking for a reliable and powerful daily driver... the DE-K/Auto is my weapon of choice... #14 · Jun 7, 2007 The crossmember and K-member are completely different than the spec v.. The VQ35 ECU will not work with the VQ, because of differences in the crank angle trigger/pickup and camshaft pickup sensors.. The two are completely incompatible.
