I went with the VQ for a variety of reasons.
-I wanted an engine that could easily be sourced here in the US, so that I'd be able to find parts easily.
-I wanted to stay in the Nissan family
-I wanted motor that was built after 2000, mainly because I felt it'd be easier to find something in good condition, or atleast something that hasn't been sitting in a junkyard for 20 years. I also knew that in the long term, a newer make engine ensures that Nissan will continue to make parts for atleast another 10 years
- I was very impressed with the power curve of the VQ. It's very strong in the mid range, which in my opinion is where the fun tends to be. It's a nice compromise between a small displacement turbo motor, and a big V8. Torquey, yet still somewhat rev happy. I also liked the reliability offered by a non turbo motor.
-Massive after market
-It's a different than the mainstream. But then again, in the 240 scene, just having a clean build is different than the mainstream!
