Thread: 05 specv swaps wit 08 specv

i was just wondering how hard? and how much money it would be to take the qr25 out of the 08 and put it in to my 05

wait what do you want to do? 08 qr instead of your 05 qr? why?

yea because i thought the 08 come wit about 200 hp

which would u rather do

i just got my spec v im just thinkin of things to do

Between building a GenI QR and trying to swap in a GenII, it'd probably be cheaper and easier to build the GenI using most of the GenII internal parts.

and y think of swaping a 08 qr if u can swap in a vq for about the same price. IMO it's a waste to swap qrs

because i would rather have my 4 banger then a v6
dont ask me y i just do
and plus im in school and it the only car i have and i can do a quick motor swap over a weekend and the vq takes a lot more mods and time that i dont have

waste of time.

either way u look at it, the QR to QR swap is gonna take longer then a VQ swap. If your asking whats involved in a qr to qr swap, u need to make custom mounts and brackets just like the vq swap, The engine mounts and brackets are in different locations which is why u need custom work. U need a complete wiring harness, ECU. Deff not worth the extra 15-20whp. Your better off building ur motor to have a 11:1 compression ratio, 07 rods/07 crank. BUT... If your in school and thats your only ride, then it's best that you dont do those heavy modifications cuz most likely u will run into trouble and of course to retune your car. Either way u look at it, theres down time.

yea thats what i figured
i was jw what ppl that have had theirs longer then me would be aboul to help me out
i was planning on turbo'n it anyways because i know a guys that boostd his and his is nasty

before u boost it, read up on it. do lots of research and hands on

lol?

what all should i read up on

In the force induction section. Just review all the things that u dont know, I cant tell u do this this and that cuz i dont know how knowledgeable you are so for starters i guess here's a link just to know the basics. Turbo 101 - B15U

save your money......get boosted....get tuned

or save your money.......drop the motor......buy better internals



why go through the hassle of swapping the same stupid motor for the sake of a handful of more hp and still be considered stock....?

k thanks
yea wit the spec vs i really dont know much about
now wit me 240 before i sold it i knew a good bit about thos because i had to take appart the engine completely and it never ran right sense because the kid that had it completely fuckd it up

i would much rather vq even if it means hoppin on the bus a few dayz....plus much more worth it in the end imo
