can we get the displacement from 3.5 to 4.0? and if so how and what kinda gains would this yield?

 

i've heard of stroker kits bumpin it to 3.7 or 3.8 but 4.0?...hmm that'd be kind of unorthodox...anyone else ever heard of a 4.0 liter V6??? that would be cool tho...

 

well as close to 4 as possible...3.8 would be cool

 

anyone see any stroker kits out for the vq yet?

 

Top Secret has one in development, it will be released with their turbo kit (got this information from an official top secret distributor).

 

Next Frontier is scheduled to have a VQ40 inside.

 

So I suppose the 4.0vq will be a V8...yum

Anyone smell an motor swap?

vk45 on the fx wouldnt be bad either.

 

I don't that would fit inside the Z's chassis.

However, a 3.8L VQ35 would be a great deal. I actually wish the VQ35 was a 3.8L.

 

I bet a stroked 3.5vq with a single 3.5" hks titanium exhaust and twin turbos would sound MEAN...

 

im in for dual titanium, twin turbos and a stroked 3.8vq

 

I think the FX's V-8 would fit, since both vehicles are on the FM platform.

You could also look around to mix and match nissan parts, as this is normal in the Z heritage. Many people build stroker L series motors (from the 1st/2nd Gen Z) by using the L28 block, L24 Rods, KA24 pistons and diesel Maxima crank.


Hmm, whats the bore/stroke of the QR25 in the SEr and Altima?

 

I'd have to agree but I hear that would cost alot to change the engine and transmission to the one of the FX45 and I would think you would have to make it awd since the 45 is only in awd. But that would be soo damn cool. From what I read Nissan was going to birng out a Vq3.3 with 300hp and better and fast reving, and a better block on the Nissan skyline non turbo and a tt verison of the GTR but just rumors that is all.

 

hehe i am getting some crazy ideas now my friends

 

IIRC, the FX had to switch from double wishbone up front to struts. I don't know if this was to make room for the bigger engine or for more suspension travel (or both). So it might not fit.

GM makes a 4.3L V6. In fact they supercharged it, put it in an S-10 with all wheel drive and called it a Syclone. As I recall it still stands as the fastest production mini-truck ever made.

 

Just for reference, whats the engine code on the syclone???

 

not sure but here's a cool site on Syclones

.....I stated earlier it had a supercharger..... turns out its a turbo.

 

Corse you could just replace the block with a skyline motor

My old Ford Ranger had a 4.0L V6.

160 HP.

Was smoother than the VQ, but not surprising at slightly more than half the power.


-D'oh!

 

How much will it cost to stroke are car to 3.7 or even 3.6? How much gains is expected and can the dealer tell if its stroked?
