2011 Infiniti To Use A Vq25det...

[bbenny]

Not sure if this has been discussed on here, but I came across this a couple of weeks ago: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/12/rumormi...rged-2-5-liter/

It is rumored that the 2011 Nissan Infiniti will be released in a 2.5l turbo variant using the VQ25DET like that in our M35's.

It would be awesome if we saw some aftermarket parts produced in the US.

That it would....I will wait in anticipation......but I reckon we'll be way ahead of em!

Lol at the comments, (Quote: 20 min, and a $500 chip flash later, Chances are you can gain an extra 50-75 hp and torque.) Yeh right, I wish.

If only they knew our beast is easily good for double the stock power.

And it has the Maxima (2010) wheels I like, they are 19"s x 8's or something on the maxima but they will probably be staggered on the infinity.

that is one ugly car

Not the car, just the grill ruins it.

WE will still be lost though because our cars run a Jap only OBD whereas Infiniti will run OBD2 or whatever they use for export cars. I'm guessing it will work with ours but may need a whole loom and ecu swap? Maybe just an ecu swap IF all the pins are the same. COBB accessport will probably work with these.

I read before that the US were getting 1000 HP out of the R35.

and what makes you guys think that it will be a VQ25det?

Nissan canned that engine 6 years ago due to being unable to meet emissions requirements.

Whilst it would be awesome if it was the same engine as ours, I would think it would be safer to assume that it would be a high comp, low boost version of the VQ25HR would be more likely... IF it actually happens.

Yes only proper turbo petrol engine (factory fited) in a Nissan vehicle anywhere in the world is the 3.8 GT-R motor...

Unless they are looking at the 0.7 turbo, 1.6 turbo, or even the 1.2 3 cylinder supercharged motor in the new Micra...

Seems more likely to be the 2.5 Direct Injection motor similar to the one in the Maxima..
