M35 Engine Upgrade

[Angus Smart]

Just near new york they are.

just pull out that front abs sensor and you have your s15!

Where are those parts from? Like I said, I want to over engineer the block. It would be good if I could build something to easily handle 500wkw but run less boost (most of the time). This engine probably wont stay in this car forever. I would love to slide it into an s15 or something one day.

Into an S15? Would this + built engine (and drivetrain) make for a nice ride? I think so.

lol would be awesome!

except the chassis wouldnt take it. thats why they never came turbo from autech

id just buy a vq35 and build that. u can get them cheap enough now days

I think I would prefer to build the 2.5 because it is one of the best engines I have worked on, also it is what makes the M35 stand out on its own. Unfortunately there are no off the shelf parts for it which is its only downfall. 3.5 is definitely the easier option but so was the 260rs.

Just get the VQ30DETT race engine.. slot that in and have some fun. .that should satisfy your power requirements. .

Not sure the wallet will approve. .

Its too tall.

Its too tall.

Bonnets are for the weak. .. they only hold in the heat. .

I vote 4 the TEPS build on the 25, more of a challenge to see what you can ring out of it. But I am a purest.

Besides if you build a strong 25 with plenty of go, but later decide to try a 35 (4 mo powa) i am sure cam will take the motor off ur hands.

what si your goal?, the more cc's the better, If it was me I would build a VQ35 DETT with Motech standalone (8.5:1 & 2bar boost).

But if you put some quality pistons, rods and another turbo on the 25 it would be a pretty good combo.

Goal is a reliable high comp motor running E85 at 1 bar. 350awkw would be nice.

Any of these engines are more than capable once built, the 3.5 would have less lag but with a 3000 stall it doesn't really matter. If I can do it with the 2.5 it will be less of a headache with vicroads and the auto can still run fine. I cant afford a manual conversion just yet although with a block laying around it would be a good time to make a bellhousing.

I'm not sure yet if the 3.5 will run on the stagea ecu either, standalone may have to go in anyway.

you should read the thread of the guy who put a vq30dett into an r34

its a rare motor that comes turboed from nissan in the cedric's i think

3 litre displacement with oil squirters and all the things that they add to the turbo versions

its in the fabrication section i think, or in the one to show off you track/project cars

[Jetwreck]

to run a VQ35 all you need is a PM35 Trans ecu and motor ecu......piggy back it with an E-Manage and your off!

Or you could just stick with doing up the current setup

I'm sure every M35 owner in here has bat off over that build, still our VQ25det has all the same gear as well as variable cams etc, better design and newer.

I guess nobody had chipped that ecu either?

Im thinking the 25 will be the least headache, and possibly a stronger block. I will have to wait till the spare motor is here and strip it to check. Has anyone over here had one of these apart? I guess I am going to be the first?

Just Jap had one in bits the last time I was up there......pity I was in a rush.......looks very similar to the VQ35DE

What were they doing to it Craig?

What were they doing to it Craig?

Motor was overheated.......they kept driving it till it seized!

I priced up some Argo rods today, they want $2100 plus for a set of custom 2.5/3L rods. There is a local race piston manufacturer that can custom any size or shape for $1700. Starting to look expensive.

I spoke to my tuner also. He suggested the 3.5 with eagle rods for the power level I want with earlier spool, off the shelf parts are a damn sight cheaper at around $1500 for both. He also said going high compression is a bit of a waste when you can just run higher boost for the ethanol. Might be in the market for a VQ3.5de.

Them pauters and wisecos are looking cheap
