yea the VQ has been done.
personally i would not do it even with my wiring and mechanical skill. that time could be spent building a setup that is a lil more practical. my mind set is always to replace broken parts quickly. now if i blow something on a VQ which i would if it was in my engine bay. how long would i be down etc????
its a cool "told you so" swap but the gains are not enough for me. and that motor doesn't impress me at all. i would do vg30dett ( going to single of course) swap before VQ
PS
I HOWEVER would do VQ before LS1 (lighter then KA). that swap is cool but sickens me that you feel that you have to go outside of Nissan for power. its a slap in the face to engineers. I'm not a Nissan only guy, i have built Honda's and Toyota's etc, but we have the Powa.
