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. :blink:

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

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.

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

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.

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 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

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.

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
