Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 As some of you know I still have the VQ37HR engine that I was planning to build and stick in the 370z. The 370z now belongs to Scott, so I don't need the engine anymore. What do you guys think I should do with it? 1. Fix it as OEM and bring it over (nothing major wrong with it) 2. Build it as Stage 1 (750bhp+) or Stage 2 (850bhp+) and bring it over here 3. Sell it over there in USA as it is 4. Any other idea? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Bring it over here and drop it into a Z32 and use as a demo car...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Actually, scratch that. You can't get the DE low enough to clear the bonnet so chances of managing it with a vq37 are close to zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 How about making it VQ40HR? http://www.briancrower.com/view.php?pn=BC0225 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Great minds, my friend Would actually be a great little conversion, I reckon. I looked into this a little while ago, to get a vq in an mx5 you would need to make some extensive modifications to the height of the engine by either dry-sumping or re-designing the plenum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems high tech. What about sawing a big hole in the bonnet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
