Vq25Det V"s Vq35De

Ok question.

With the vq25det having an ecu that is in my opinion f#cking anoying as there is not many tuning opertunities with the standard ecu does the same happen in the vq35de's? Are their ecus the same as the 25"s where it will throw into limp mode if it doesnt like something. Reason for my question is im weighting up pulling out the 25 and replacing with a 30/35. let me know your thoughts or experience.

all the work is done for you, it will be a newer car, and it will be cheaper and less hassle.

but....you wont get as much HP out of it as the motors are built like glass!

much nicer car imo!

The VQ30det is crap as there is no variable cams, you will really notice the soggy response compared to the 2.5 or the 3.5.

Best would be a built VQ35 which would set you back a bit but the parts are available at least.

Or if you want a stock motor to drop in, leave the VQ25det, its the strongest of the bunch if you plan to mod.

With all these options you will have the same ecu issues. There is plenty of work happening on the ecu side and hopefully one day there will be an aftermarket plugin option but until then whats wrong with the Emanage Ultimate? I will try to do a wiring chart when I rip mine out for those of you that cant make it down to Melbourne if you like, that way you only need to find a competant tuner to tweak the map.

ECU is different. More like 350Z/R35

But problem is, you have to make it talk to the transmission as well.

Its been said. Just buy one if thats what you want. Money wise, it just doesn't make sense doing a conversion. (although I am aware that the same thing could be said about me)
