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.

    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
