Hi folks,

Only new to the site so thought I'd say hi first! :D I'm from Ireland (Dublin) and am searching most of the english-speaking globe (cause I don't speak Japanese :wub:) for info on the VQ25 & its capabilites with a view to doing an engine-swop from a CA18DET (from a Nissan 200SX S13) to the VQ25DET & eventually make it a DETT! :)

A friend guided me to this site as there seems to be a good few people on here with Stageas & the engine in question as you know wasn't exactly made for very long so the more people I can find that have them the better! :)

Has anyone on here modified or knows of anyone who has modified a VQ25 to produce some decent power or who has swopped things like inlet plenums, exhaust manifolds, turbos etc on them? I'm trying to source both the engine & performance parts for it at the moment.

Have not seen or found much info on the VQ25DET, not through lack of seaching though!!! But it's the same block as the VQ35NEO is it not? If so best bet is to get the VQ35NEO motor as there is heaps of performance stuff for them.....there are also Twinturbo kit's available.

HEY mate good luck with the swap post pics when done please be interested in how it goes. and those engine wont be cheap i bet .

The engines I'm not too sure about yet, trying to find management at the moment. I know VQ30DET's are cheap enough but I want the smaller capacity one to start with, then I can start looking at interchangeable parts etc.

Same bottom-end yeah, but it's the head & the fact that it's the smaller cc that matters to me because of the tax-system over here which is based on the cc of your engine, not the emissions (for now) or anything else. So for example I'm paying €539 per year for a 2L now, a 2.5L is €821/961 depending which side of the 2500cc mark you are, & 3L + is €1343! :rofl: Multiply those numbers by 1.5 & you'll get the rough OZD equivalent & that's before you put fuel in the tank! Oh, & those figures just increased by 9%, 11% & 11% respectively there the other week so you can see why I want to keep the engine's original cc low. :)

Has anyone even seen engine management or any performance parts for these at all? There must be some somewhere that aren't in Japanese??

sounds like the people who designed your tax system hadn't heard of forced induction. You telling me that you could have a 5L v8 and a 2.5L turbo putting out the same power (and possibly the same emissions) and yet the v8 costs heaps more?? sounds like turbos are the go there :P

the translation sucks, but the guts of it is, Phoenix Power in Japan have been making some pretty impressive gains with this engine with just turbo and FMIC so I don't think the engines are THAT weak in the bottom end.

350kW is a pretty decent outcome IMO

Yep! Seems so... & all the lads in the US & UK are wondering why I want to keep the cc as low as I do! :) For the moment, I'm not complaining! :down:

Lol! Now I understand why it's so hard to find any info on these! :D

Thanks for that link - I'll have a look & see if I can get anything from "Modified M35's" on Google but so-far seems fruitless. ;) No-one on here uprated them at all, no? Does anyone know how much the bottom-end can take before melting?

Cheers for that DaveB! Only issue I've found is in looking for internals for it like rods/pistons etc or even thresholds for how far you can push the standard internals, same thing with the HG or even if someone makes a metal head gasket?

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
