Has anyone done a VG to a VQ swap?? If so is it a "easy" conversion? Other then the obvious wire harness and ecu. Just curious really as am currently in no sorts of an immediate swap

Probably need custom mounts, exhaust and etc. Not what I'd consider easy but it depends on your skill level.

Would this be an na vg to vq? Not going to rag on you, just curious why your considering this, I feel like it'd be easier to get more power out of a tt vg.. But i will say as of local help and support it would be easier to be meddling with a vq with more local parts available also

Well. I was curious if it could be done with out as much modifications like a RB swap. In a sense more durable and wider parts availability. If that makes any sense

Ya ok i get that, but being that you need custom motor mounts, and does the z32 transmission fit with mods? Or do you need another transmission.. Just feel like for the effort you'd be better off swapping something else.. I think what could be an amazing swap if it could fit would be a turbo Cummins 12v, so much power and just imagine a black cloud pouring out the back lol, it'd be very unique but kind of outrageous

For your enjoyment, not a Z but close enough.
