vk56 swapping the g
hey everybody, been looking recently into swapping a vk56 into the g sedan. ive searched and emailed people that have done this and got no reply. i know the tranny bolts up, etc. but i have read issues about getting the ecu to work correctly.
i am asking what needs to be done in order for this to work in a g35 sedan?
does the engine harness need to be modified to work with the z's 6 speed transmission?
i read about the titan ecu being utilized, but running into problems. is there a way aorund this other than running a complete standalone? and what needs to be customized?
can cruise control/traction control still be maintained with this swap (its my daily)?
please shoot me any and all info! thanks guys!

get a hold of jeremy tibbs, he works at ultimate garage or something like that, used to own performance factory. he did a vk56 swap into a g35 coupe, only one that i know of that actually completed the swap...
cost will prolly be about the same or a bit less than a well thought out fi build, and maintenance will be cheaper and easier

i already got a built tt z. dont want that route, just want a fun dd that i dont have to worry about all the time. reason i picked the vk swap was because ease of ,aintenance and parts, and because it bolts up to the z's 6 speed. just wanna figure out the ecu issues. i pretty much have the motor and tranny, just need the rest of the stuff : )

I have been down this road and I pulled everything out and sold it. It would be a cool swap but for a DD car I would not do it.

it does not just bolt up to the 6 speed trans (need a adapter plate) then a custom flywheel and clutch. you will have to run a stand alone unless you use the stock Titan trans and then I'm still not sure if everything would work in the car. Also you need a alot of custom parts built, oil pan, headers, motor mounts and so on.

talked to a friend that is a tech for infiniti....the wiring harness should fit right up to the stock ecu under the dash. just keep the vk56 harness and plug in. i am looking to do the same raise the compression change a few other things. trying for 500-600whp from the vk!!!

Its a pain in the *** swap. trans will not bolt up and you can use Stock ecu. but if you want i think osiris can take off nats and acouple other things. or you can use the ecu from a Q45 since they have 8 cyl driver and load up new roms with nistune. Ive researched the swap its a great motor with lots of potential and they are wicked cheap. I honestly would do a LS1

LOL I had both threads open and simply copied the wrong thread.
This was the correct thread that I wanted to post:
