Need More Power From Vq25Dd

My vq30dd came with a pod filter, why the hate?

Nissan factory airboxs are actually very good. In fact your airbox has flowed 300awkw on a Stagea. Thats with the front panel open. Pod filters are great at sucking in hot air from the engine bay (thus reducing power), generally reducing filtration, and being defectable if not enclosed by the Po po. They add noise but no power.

As I said before....

I have only looked at google images of the VQ25dd.I can't see any reason why a z-tube, wouldn't fit. have a search and look at one.

Make your own "powerduct" or buy one from a sucker thats got a pod filter on a VQ35de, and get a quality panel filter. Intake done. Its not going to get any better than that.

OR

hold off modifying it, wait 1 year, and go buy a turbo car thats easier to mod. I can't see how you'd turbo a DD motor. Its very different to a VQ35de. Just wait, buy a 350z and then go nuts.

I can't see why turbo charging a DD motor would be the different. Finding higher capacity DD injectors might be the only hurdle, assuming the factory injectors can't keep up.

It wasn't the fact direct injection and turbo hadnt been done but the vq25dd issues.

Yeah, we'll I'm glad I'm not doing it. Problems off the top of my head would be the dd injectors, the fact it's either 11:1 or 11.3:1 compression, plus the Strength of the connecting rods, and engine management.

I guess it's one of those things, if you throw enough money at it, it would probably work, but it's really not a cost effective project. Far better to ditch it when on full licence and get something easier.

yeah i agree on all those points!

either wait and get a VQ25DET motor installed (and i rekon youll have a monster) or upgrade later when you can afford to

its easier learning to hone your driving skills on a lower powered car. then upgrade when you can drive better.

Whoa, Iain, is that a can of worms I hear you opening, lol. Although most likely true, I can think of a heap of teenagers/early twenties guys (& gals??) who could drive better than me - on a race track anyway, where there's no worry of a lost licence. Although I might be a better (safer) driver now then when I was 18-20, I certainly don't have the nads for risk taking like I used to.

unless he has been driving for years in gokarts or something - no offence intended - then he isnt 'as good' as driver as some others and still may require the experience (and possibly patience) required on the road.

i still take risks, but i use experience before i attempt anything stupid :P

I totally agree. There was the generalisation, which is normally true btw, that young = not a good driver. I wanted to extinguish the flames before they took hold :happy: .

Pod filters are the biggest waste of time!! They suck on hot air and do nothing!!

The plans are:

-Exhaust.

-Port and polish.

-Cold air intake.

-ECU.

-Good tune.

And see what power I get from that. Saving for a M35 axis stagea

replacing that intake pipe on the NA engines is worthwhile, as is the plenum spacer.

a port and polish? you realise that means the motor has to come apart?

probably not worth it unless you throw in some cams too

    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
