Engine swap

[Fatso]

Hi dose anyone know of someone using a  vq25det engine in a older rear wheel drive car like a ford cortina,sigma,skyline etc

Yep know someone using one in a Laurel for drifting. You just need to figure out engine mounts and decide what gearbox you want to use. Make sure you get the engine, ecu and loom.

I've seen a kit car with VQ30DET in it (very similar to VQ25DET).
Z33 manual gearbox is usually used.
Pretty sure it was running factory ECU, but not sure if it goes into limp mode with no auto gearbox connected.
If money isnt an issue, standalone ECU and custom wiring would be the best way to go.

You will get an auto box from M35 Stagea (they come in 2wd and 4wd)
