I blew up my 3 350 and i need to put a new engine back in. I do not want the stock weak vq engine in there so i was looking around to see what to put in but i cannot find any imformation. I would like to know if the HRs will mount up and also if any jdm engines will fit and what kind of modfications are needed for either.

 

Wrong forum. Try the tech section for best results.

 

how did you manage to break 3 vq engines?

 

Put a 2JZ swap in there.

 

 

There are a handful of places that have rebuilt VQ motors... Stage 1 - 4... do some searching, I am too lazy.

 

Because I am nice: http://www.importpartspro.com/niin1.html

 

you can do just about anything you want. it will just take some time and money

 

HR will fit, but you will need to change to the 07-08 hood , not worth it for 15hp IMO

 

Well you do know it's more than 15 hp right?


I would swap a built DE personally..

 

I smell a troll

 

the thing is i got a check for 4000 dollars and the shp is putting it in and they are pretty flexible on how much work they have to do just not anything serious so i am seing what wil work. the hr will be a good platform in case i want to put in forced induction. WIll it mount right up? what is needed?

 

and i didnt blow up 3 vg engines although its prob easy i meant an 03

 

 

put a freaking LS2 in theree!!!!!!!

 

There's been several posts by somebody associated with a race team that successfully put a HR motor in a DE car. It was not trivial - there's a whole lot more than just swapping blocks, sensors, computers, harnesses, etc.

 

- I looked into this briefly and I believe the trans mounts were an issue as well. HR into a DE shell is not easy.

 

I agree, not worth the time or cost IMO. I even considered at one time swapping the vq37 in my Z, Again, cost vs gains suck. If you got 4k theres not much you can do unless your gunna throw dough ontop of that 4 k. Midas well pick up a mild build long block DE. besides, HR parts are expensive and hard to come by. They dont even use the same radiator as a DE ffs. Plus you have to use a HR tranny and all that jive. 4k budget, Buy a built long block and boost it later..
