Zara- while both engines are VQ35DE-spec, anytime you swap engines, there's a chance there's a difference. Whether it's a slight production difference in electronics or mechanical upgrades, it could result in a problem. My question is why not just rebuild the VQ you already own, and guarantee a lack of any complications or trouble?

Rebuild is suppose to be better parts and peace of mind and in a way more reliable.
