Couple VQ in a S13 Questions - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

'90RPS13 · 06-30-2007, 12:13 AM

I have been talking to a buddy of mine who works for Nissan. Long story short, he is going to try and snag me a engine from a Maxima that needs a Timing Chain guide. He says they just get used for scrap metal and can more then likely grab one for me. I have a few questions in regaurds to a swap in a S13.

1. It is a FWD, what are the HP specs vs. a Z VQ? He has one of those lying around too.

2. Does anyone have mounting specs? I have researched EngineSwaptech.com/FA.com/N ico.com. I havent found any SPECIFIC specs

3. What transmission mounts are you using?

4. Driveshaft? Custom?

5. Anyone successfully use the Xterra 6 Speed tranny housing? I think I read on FA.com that the linkage should line up real close on a S13.

6. Anyone hook up A/C and P/S successfully?

7. Typical problems with the swap?

Pretty much I am trying to become familiar with the swap before I start so I can lessen the chances of problems.

I think thats about all I can think of for the moment. Monday I find out whether or not I will be able to pick the VQ up. If the Z VQ is better, I will hold out for them to pull that one. Thanks!

1. Better off getting Z vq (rwd setup)
2. More power from the the Z's vq
