I may be the only one here, but I'm very interested to see how this VR-VQ build would go through. FWIW, 370z944 dude - please follow through your stories and ideas, start a thread and build this monster you're planning to build.
Best case scenario: you'll prove everyone wrong and we'll all learn something new. Worst case scenario, you'll waste a lot of money, learn something new and spooler will say "toldcha" and we'll all have a laugh. |

This isn't my first rodeo. I make people think I'm just a dumb lowly stoner just to see who you are. LMAO y'all fell for it. Super hella tight, bruh. So, now that we've established who has apparent biases based on anecdotal stereotypes towards weed.. hell yeah I smoke. Daily. Woke? yeah, no. LMAO My gen x *** kinda missed that whole "woke" nonsense. FFS, I voted for Donnie lol.. Waaaaay off. Some ppl have overactive minds, and cannabis is able to calm us, and slow down our brains by affecting the hippocampus. The part of the brain that affects memory. I am one of these people. I'm so dumb I tested out at 147 on Stanford–Binet. Stoned off my *** no less. LMAO https://postimg.cc/gallery/vTK71Pm This is my 944 turbo 3 liter 4 banger. Its a s2 block with an 89 s head, 968 crank, and a 944 turbo intake and plumbing. Ppl on rennlist said similar things when I did this one... but here it is. Parts bin frankensteins FTW! |

I could start a thread about what it would take now. Brainstorming, and going down the rqabbit hole I guess. It's gonna be like fall before I can start buying parts, and actually doing it tho. Of course after I've crossed all the t's and dotted i's. |

I don't know what parts you guys are looking at, but the ones im seeing all share the same core parts bin so far. Dude, it's nissan, not pagani. lol Are you familiar with the FM platform/chassis? the same chassis ALL RWD nissans have? Pretty sure the GTR also uses the same chassis.. in theory I could chop it down, and build a perfect altima from it. LMAO They did not develop a custom crankcase and block for the GTR, they just dressed it up as a "VR". Also note the factory nomenclature vQ vR. That's the thing with the GTR, its priced with exotics, but it's basically just a nissan parts bin special. FFS, they haven't even changed the powertrain in what? 15 years or something? Why do you think that is? Cause it costs too much for a failing nissan who is hanging by a thread to develop a bespoke motor or even chassis for the GTR. Lot of smoke and mirrors going on at nissan. |

Instant millionaire? I wish. What will probably happen: Countless people dump on me, tell me how dumb I am(haters hate when you do something before them that they never thought of that in hindsight is actually fairly obvious), then I do it, a few pat me on the back, then everyone else copies what I did, 10 years from now it's a "thing" and everyone forgets I ever even existed. LMAO That would be par. I don't see how I could profit here. I'm certainly not going to get into the part business. Especially parts that anyone could just call nissan to buy. |

vr38+vq37 = vrq75

.....yeeeeeah... Gonna be a no. Cause no, the coolant passages don't line up. They're similar. Found a pic of each mating surface. So, no. The bolt pattern and coolant passages aren't the same. A deck plate/liners could possibly take care of the coolant passages, but that bolt pattern is all wrong.
Whole engine swap it is then. Dang it. I had to delete and refresh everything to upload the rotated pic. For some reasson the site refuses to upload the edited version. |
you don't say!

All the reputable builders are looking for ways to improve the VQ motor so if could be done, one of them would have already have tried, and/or done it

You're just full of yourself. It's another fuckin' car. Not even engineered or designed in any way by you. You're painti with someone else's stencil then act like you're so brilliant. ICE auto tuning is pretty cool, but most of it is archaic, and very well explored. Based on your attitude I'd think you operated the hadron collider all day or some ish. tf Psssh. Don't get me wrong, I love my Z, and all Z's really, and I am essentially doing the same as you working from another engineers platform, but is your name Randy Rodriguez? If not,...... If it is, then.. respect. I'd hedge my bets on it's not. Bothering you? ....lol Uh.. I don't typically give a rats azz if some rando on the interwebs is bothered by me, or isn't. Frankly. LMAO. Ah man, it runs deep in you. So full of yourself to think this was really all about you, and "a guy talking about cars on the internet was really just trolling all along to try to bother me. Look at me, I'm so strong that I ignored him". Something along those lines? Haha. That's something there.. hoo wee. I don't have a clue what, I'm no psychologist. I could ask one for you. I think that would be narcissism? Might wanna get that looked at. I bet you're a real hoot at parties. It's all a conspiracy bro. I was sent by qanon to troll you... cause ya know IGAF. ....sure Or wait, qanon are the righty group huh? err.. I mean BLM* bro. You got me.:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl 2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2: No wait bro, it was antifa, yeah antifa sent me to troll you cause you're such a high profile hype beast influencer bro. You are very important, k? Better now? |

If 370z944 thinks Spooler is bad. Wait until he asks a question on rims and tires. Option Zero will rub the skin right off of him. :rofl2:

Personally, I'm not a fan of the "new" chassis but if I were you I'd put the 60k into the mt MK5 instead if you're looking hard at a new car. It'll have more aftermarket support and you won't be bound to proprietary turbos and water intercoolers. Part of the fun of owning a turbo car is more than just the power but that's just my 2 cents

carb legal vq37 tt kit just released, D-873
good solid option for anyone looking to stay in california and still run a tt kit capable of big power |

I know this is an old thread and the op already figured out what he wanted to do but i was in the exact same situation. I decided to build car. I figured... I've already got some money into it.. its paid off. its been reliable... i can save some cash for the turbo kit and be done.. and have no payment... or I can get a brand new payment, brand new full coverage insurance, etc etc etc.. and the car still be stock..... you'd still have to put money into it to make it "not" stock.. so thats why I chose the direction I went. I went with the soho stage 2.5 turbo kit... with all the bells and whistles. Not mad at my decision. |
did the 370z944 guy ever started a vr38 swap? or was that just a bunch of talk. this thread had me laughing my *** off lol.
