I have no intentions of doing this, but theoretically would it be relatively simple to swap a VH41 from a 1st Gen Q45 into the J? Didn't some Js in Japan come with this engine configuration?

1.) It wouldn't be simple, but it would be a cool swap if done correctly.

2.) First gen Q45 was a vh45.

3.) Jdm J (leopard) was a vh41 (like 2nd gen Q)

Hope this helps you, also try the almighty search....

If I was going to do a swap with a J30, I want to do a SR20 or KA24. Build it strong and boost the crap out of it. I think in the end that might be easier than a twin turbo VG swap.

I always thought it would be much better to toss in a LS1 with an auto(cause its a lux car). The motors make tons of hp, get good gas milage and are reliable as hell. It would be the ultimate J30!
