VQ25DET REBUILD?

[etch]

Looking into a rebuild of a vq25det but can't find any rebuild kits, just curious as to where I might be able to find one if at all?

I didn't respond immediately, in the hope that someone actually knew a god answer, but seeing as no-one has responded yet....

I wouldn't hold out too much hope of there being a "kit" to rebuild one of these. Whether you can even get everything you need to fully rebuild one might even be hard to answer. I'm sure that you can likely get calves and rods and pistons and rings and bearings and the like. But sneaky little minor parts might be harder to track down.

Cheers for the response man I was thinking that would be the case, how about engine swap options haha?

Gawd. I just saw the typos in my post and nearly had a seizure, until I realised that calves is easy to mistype from valves.

Engine swap options are obvious. VQ35s of various sorts from later V cars and Z cars, and the same with VQ37. With or without turbo, depending on your willingness to go down that rabbit hole.

Honda K? Arguably a better motor, just sounds like shit.

Most parts would be available through suppliers like partsouq, amayama, nengun, Nissan themselves. Doubt you'll find a rebuild kit as such. There are some parts that are shared with other Nissan engine families. Things like bearings, valves, valve guides etc.

Partsouq/amayama will be your friend when it comes to part numbers and price.

K swapped stag🤔 I can't lie I've thought about it haha, has it been done? Would it be worth.

 

And cheers adms15 appreciate it boss.

Depends what needs to be done.
I'd personally go with VQ35 crank, cams and forged rods into a VQ25det, making it effectively a 2.8L with 8.8 compression.

There are no VQ25det "kits" that I am aware of although there is a mob (Takumi Autoworks) in the UK which are putting a kit together.
