Engine

> **[Nissan VQ engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_VQ_engine)**

> The VQ is a V6 piston engine produced by Nissan with displacements varying from 2.0 L to 4.0 L. It is an aluminum block DOHC 4-valve (per cylinder) design with aluminum heads. It is fitted with Nissan's EGI/ECCS sequential multi-point fuel injection (MPFI) system. Later versions feature various implementations of variable valve timing and replace MPFI with direct fuel injection (marketed as NEO-Di). The VQ series engine was honored by Ward's 10 Best Engines list almost every year from the list's ...

Yes, they do sound awesome with an exhaust. I think there’s an intake plenum spacer mod that’s relatively cheap too and actually makes a few additional hp…

Set of wide wheels + lowering too = damn nice

There is some type of oil consumption issue on the '07 cars, or the early versions with the HR type VQ. My buddy had it on his '07 and he ended up getting a whole new engine from Nissan covered by warranty last year.

But seeing that you have an '03 this should not concern you.

Good luck…

If you want it to be fast, just save up and turbo it. Dont bother with the bolt ons and such imo. I did work on my buddies 350, did Crawford headers, HKS Ti exhaust, lightweight flywheel, intake spacer, Nismo intake and some other shit, and it only ran 13.7X’s
