There are a few members here did it already. Not too straight forward as one think though.
Can always go to Lee in USJ 11 or try the chopshop near the sungai besi airport. (next to the wan tan mee shop. Lorong 3 i think)

Dig the thread a bit and you'll find.

VQ25DET.... How much u got it?

Won't work unless you have deep pocket. Not a straight forward project . Its a frankenstein project.

I wonder if you have ever look at the engine hood of A32 with VQ. is bloody pack.

You can only use the outer 3 exhaust outlet to drive the turbine, not the 6 exhaust outlet cause the firewall will block the turbine. Well unless you hack the firewall, and do lots of custom piping including relocating all the current engine mount, electrical, a/c, and hell lots. of things to do.

Is cheaper to get a supercharge. Buy a used super charged from US, there was a company making supercharger for A32 (Maxima) in US, but stop already.

Alternative, drop a 3.5L instant 280hp.

E.g. FS: BOLT ON READY VQ30 supercharger kit + MANY extras. 100% RELIABLE FULL KIT

Its great to know at least there are a few 25DEts users around...

I have the budget to finish this project...

Perhaps if you could direct me to the right workshop with the correct expertise in this type of conversion... I would not wanna waste time on trial & error.

Also this one.

Maxima is a good place to start if you have the $$$ resources. Don't bother looking at local mechanic shop, i don't think you can find anyone with VQ turboing experience.

Is it with engine or without???

 

[weikee]

depend where you start, if you want all new internal all got to be imported, it may end up 30k or more. If you take the stagea 1/2 cut you can only use the internal and not the engine unless you drill back all the mount and rewire the engine harness cause is a RWD. Then again is a pre order 1/2 cut i only see one before. Most stagea 1/2 cut go to AU and NZ.

You need to do your homework before starting. Maxima is a good place to start.
