QR25DE swap

V8 SHO · Oct 22nd, 2004, 10:51 AM

I am working on a 2001 nissan sentra. It came with a QG18DE, and i am swaping in a QR25DE. Can I use the motor mounts and transmission mounts spots to put the QR mounts in?? and can i use any of the mounts or braces from the QG motor?? thanks

you most likely need the crossmember from the QR25DE equipped car, and I doubt the pass and driver side mounts are in the same location.

Just out of curiousity, why did you chose the QR over turbo charging the QG or going for the venerable SR20DE?

mike roberts is still working on his 200sx with the QR25 in it and i heard some of the spec v guys wanting to put the 3.5 L maxima or altima motors into the car

iono this is what ive heard.

yeah the spec v guys want to do that, but will they? hell no. it costs too much money.

yea that true i think there was one dude here in dfw area in a white spec that has done it but i not sure.

that the thing that ive been hearing around here

wouldnt that suck to do a time consuming engine swap and then come to the realization that the engine you swapped in has about 140-50 whp and that even modifying it wont result in over 200...also the SR20s are no more expensive than the QRs, if anything they are less.

if ur goin to leave the QR stock i guess this is a good idea..but seriously if ur goin to mod it ur goin to find out that u made a mistake..this engine can't handle that much power,ur better off with the sr20det..those things are bulletproof,u can get twice as much power out of them than the QR.

alright well, i ordered the mounts for the car. the subframe mount we got, and the front and rear mounts arrived. I just got in the transmission mount and it bolted up. but the top mount on the passenger side is off by alittle. i am thinkin that i am going to have to make a bracket to bolt it up. but at the sametime i think once i bolt the tranny mount it will straightin itself out. but i don't know yet. i don't know if he is going to mod the motor or not....

does anyone know where i can find a good close up shot of the engine bay, showing the mounts and etc. ???

i suggest just going to a nissan dealer and checking out one of the Spec V's on the lot.
