VR can be built for 15-20k to handle 1500whp, it's a no brainer. The VQ37VHR ECU might be able to control it with VVEL deleted aswell.

I think you are leaving out the most important part. A junk yard long block VR38 is 15k. Then, if you need to bore it you will need a new block from Nissan. So the real numbers are 30k to 35k. I don't care for motor swaps anyway.
Beside, most folks don't build the VQ correctly anyways. They cheap out big time and expect it to hold.
