What year VQ?
I bought a used VQ35 engine he told me its from a 04 Z is there any way to tell for sure what year it is maybe by a serial number on the engine somewhere?

Non revup = 03-04 MT
Non revup = 03-06 AT
Revup = 05-06 MT
HR = 07-08 MT & AT
To the OP's question. It probably doesn't matter what 'year' the motor is (as long as it isn't an HR). Just do a compression check on it and general inspection and you should be fine.

Ahhh, since you're doing a conversion, you might wanna check this out.

FYI, The bottom ends are all the same. Only the heads changed from the non-revup to the revup. Not sure about the compatibility matrix for ECU's though...

Sorry to hijack your thread with a noob question but what's the difference between a non-revup & revup engine? As in is "revup" a bonus or a drawback, or just another way they made them?

I think you'll need the vehicle's VIN in order to determine which year it was. . .
The difference between a non revup and a revup is the heads.
The revup has both intake and exhaust cam timing, a higher redline, higher horsepower but less torque. You can tell by looking at the heads, you'll see 2 sets of circles on the front of each head where the cams are. CR, bore and stroke are the same for both engines.
Non rev ups have a single circle on each of the heads. . .
Determine which engine you have first, then get the matching ecu. . .
not sure if you could use a revup ecu on a non revup vq without throwing codes. . .

Pretty sure its a non-revup so its a 03 or 04? I just didn't know if I could use 03 or 04 ecu or not or if it had to be the same exact year as the engine. I won't be able to get the vechile VIN it was pulled from a wrecked Z and I bought it off someone second hand.

Also matching these up doesn't apply to aftermarket standalone ECUs like the Haltech, right?

To the OP's question. It probably doesn't matter what 'year' the motor is (as long as it isn't an HR). Just do a compression check on it and general inspection and you should be fine.
