VQ20 to VQ25

[Skyfiro A32]

thanks dream.tent..is anyone have any feedback after droping from vq30 to vq25?
fc will improve? and power still okie?

power will drop especially the pulling effect (torque), city driving FC maybe same, highway is sure lower compare to 3L

if the FC improve and power remain, why nissan put in the VQ30? must as well go for vq25 from the start.

VQ25 power is definitely not as good as VQ30, especially the torque which u will notice during overtaking. In gear downshift, VQ30 gives kind of surge in power, whereas VQ25 the power comes slower and not such "surge" feeling. But I would say VQ25 is still suffice for normal use.

FC shud be very very close to VQ30 around legal speed limit. Going at higher speed say 160km/h or more then do not know, cos still dare not step it more than that yet...:tongue:

hi, was searching for such info then come across this thread....
sorry to hijack ur thread.....

just swapped a VQ25 engine lantai for my dad's A32 (ori VQ20)....
blew the engine last week on the highway...culprit is the cracked radiator which wasnt noticed (covered by air dunk for air filter)....just my luck....towed the car back to my mech place....n he suggested to get an engine lantai n direct swap (although i initially wanted to drop a whole halfcut....he asked me not to waste money)....so ok....get the full engine lantai (block, head, intake, tb, injectors) n drop it in....collected the car in 1 week time...noticed very significant improvement on torque....
but still rather worried abt AFR as still using VQ20 wiring n ecu....only injector using VQ25.....
although dun see much prob as this car will be driven by my dad....no full throttle/high rev....but in heart....still rather worried on AFR....was considering to get a cheap AFC (those old skool 5button type) n get it tuned on dyno.....

so....any suggestions on my case????

If you are worried and don't mind spending a bit more, get a UniChip (Piggy back) and tune your car on a Dynometer. Get AFR right and tune to smoothen the torque.

PM me if you need help on the tuning...

Power would drop but maybe fc improve if town driven. I love the VQ30 power & torque but cannot afford the road tax only mah...hehehe...
