Nissan VQ37VHR 7 speed auto swap...

[TerrenceLP]

 

After much debates, UZ vs VQ...

The layout of the VQ37VHR is just about right, front sump and with the automatic transmission, Nice and tight.

Might even shave a few pounds.

The 85 GT-S manual came with the F code 3.90 - what I got
7 speed auto came with 3.357 =

Gear ratios - 7 speed   | 1985 Celica GT-S w58
1st 4.923     |    1st: 3.285
2nd 3.193     |    2nd: 1.894
3rd 2.042     |    3rd: 1.275
4th 1.411     |    4th: 1.00
5th 1.000     |    5th: 0.783
6th 0.862   
7th 0.771   
Rev. 3.972     |   Rev: 3.768

More to come, any ideas or information would be great.

Wow! The wiring and ECU setup is going to be more complicated / sophisticated using a newer VQ... have you thought about how you might set that up? Otherwise, mechanically, you can make anything fit.

[TerrenceLP]

Correct on the fitment, but what got me turned on was the size and weight of the vq37 package.
The other reason was I want to just go fast, so 7 speed auto and the stock ECU will be used along with the paddle shifter set up.

My 1st task will be to get wrecked g37 RWD because AWD have a axle running through the oil pan.
I want everything to make it run like factory sans a few things, and just that adds 3x the Buff Horses !

Also will be selling my 85 gts 22re + w58 on megasquirt.

This is going to be a fun swap to see.

I never thought about putting a VQ motor in our chassis, and honestly the specs would be amazing. I may have to find a wrecked manual 350z............

That shouldn't be hard

Whenever you are ready to sell that package, I might be able to take it off of your hands. I'm in Garner NC, so hit me up if you need any help with the swap. I love the vq engines so hopefully you can pull this off!
