VQ45 questions...in a 240???

I've searched...and searched...and *YAWN searched some more.

Did one for vq45...found like 4 posts...did a search for just vq...Oh damn...forgot the maxima's engine code starts with vq...looked through 'em all just to be sure.


All I know about this engine is that it's got a timing chain...quad overhead cam...and is really powerfull…but I can’t find anything here on nissanforums or elsewhere…not even on infinity forums…geez

So here's the question (and why it's in the 240 section)

Yeah you saw it coming,
Has anyone done/know of a vq45 swap into a 240?
If yes please provide info or link to.


If no...then please abstain from the
"Why not just sr20 like every other 240"
or the also ever so popular
"Rebuild and turbo you KA"
oh let's not forget "slap in an rb" Though VERY VERY awesome (opium props ) just not my cup o Earl Grey if you know what I mean...and I'm not sure that I do.
I've thought about this for a little over a year and I've set my mind on a v8 (import v8)...I've read plenty of posts already so I'de like to just GET the info
Also not really looking for the
"If you have enough money anything is possible" post either...that's really annoying cause if that's the case I'de just by a freaking ferrari...so don't post that please.


I am hesitant to ask for info on the vq45 series engines...but I need to...so…uh I think I just did…yeah I did.


I have TONS of info on the 1uz, 2uz, 3uz-fe toyota v8's...hell there's a site dedicated to that engine and putting it into just about anything (even a 240, yeah baby!)...so if I can't find any info on the vq ima gonna have to put a yota in my nissan


I've seen several people asking about the maxima vq's into a 240 but I WANT A V8! But...I don't know anything about the VQ and I'll be DAMNED it's a mysterious engine...I can't find info on it ANYWHERE...


SO to re-cap...
1. anyone know of a vq45 powered 240? Links...info?
2. Links/info on VQ45's in general? I.E. internal construction (forged cast etc), igition system, intake setup, differences between years, hp AND torque…ALL info on ALL aspects is what I’m looking for.

*I did run accross a site giving limited info on the newer vq..but it was very limited...no info on forging or not...and didn't give history.

I'm not trying to be rude by saying this ----> but opinions of this swap are NOT going to be helpful so please…just…don’t…and again...don't tell me with enough money/time anything is possible...that's not helpful at all

I’m just asking about those two things

THANKS ALL!!!
