VQ35 in a Infiniti G20?

Anybody know if it is possible to swap a VQ35 or even a VQ30 into a 1996 Infiniti G20. I know anything can go into anything with mods, but I am wondering about a straight swap. I found one local with a blown headgasket for $500. Downfall is car is an automatic.

i assume its gonna be pretty similar to swapping it into a Sentra, which many people do. i dont know what it entails, but theres probably some work to be done.

Interesting. But the G20 already has a nice SR20 powerplant.

That is what I thought. And there are quite a few Sentra's with the swap. And then like Jeff92 says, I could just do another SR20. But I think with a v6 it will stand out more.

I agree it should be similar to the sentra vq35 swap..

Anything is do-able with the right amount of cash and time, but you have to add up the math to see if its worth it.


It may cost less and make more power if you just boost the sr20 ...

I would do some research in the Sentra SE-R swapped with a VQ in it. Since the SE-R has an SR20 and so does the G20, I would think the info would be basically the same.

However, it would be much easier to find a JDM Bluebird or Pulsar SR20DET. That engine is readily available, swaps directly and there is tons of information and mods about this swap.

I keep thinking about finding an SE-R and doing this swap, but haven't found the right one yet.
