Hey, just wondering if anyone or knows of someone doing a M56 or a Titan V8 into a G37?
How much of a challenge would that be I wonder?
Is there any web links out there?

You would make way more power boosting the 3.7, and not change the weight distribution so drastically.

I've seen a titan motor in a G35, granted it was a drift car and it was supercharged...if you got the money you can do just about anything bro.

Won't work the engine bay on the M is bigger as is the Engine Block is to big in my opinion for our cars tight engine space.

I have looked into this heavily, From what I can gather the motor will fit in the Engine bay. 370z's have done it, G35's have and so have 350z's. One company I spoke to I , believe its mckinney motorsports has a mount kit for the vk56de to the 350z. As well the VK56de does not bolt up to the six speed. the de does bolt up to the 5 spd auto in the 08 g's and. and the 7 speed bolts up to the vk56vd the M56 version of the motor. Now onto guages and ecu/tcu, bcm. Z fever has worked out most everything. Also one member on the g35 forums with the tt vk45/vh45 (cant remember) found a way to circumvent the bcm. I love the idea as the vk56vd is a monster. So overall thats what ive gathered, As for cost its never been done but estimate 3k for the motor 1200-1500 for a harness. 800-1k for tuning and roughly 500 for mounts. plus custom headers. And any misc parts you might need like seals, fluids, tools.

Would make more sense to just do a Brian Crower Stroker kit and then go with forced induction. VK56DE...ya...that would be hella badass but as the dude a few posts earlier said....the amount of modification that would be required just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even if you don't do stroker and go with forced induction on a stock block you'll be making more power than a stock VK56DE. Not gonna lie though.....rockin' a 5.6 V8 would be hella badass.

Don't mean to bring a thread back from the dead, but I stumbled across this during a search of the VK56DE. I see the comments regarding adding a stroker kit and forced induction to the VQ37, but wouldn't adding those to a VK56DE give you a significantly better starting point and ultimately more power? Is the VK56DE built to handle forced induction?

Here's a few reasons why you shouldn't do this:

1) The VK56VD does not have a lot of aftermarket support, sourcing parts for it will be tricky.

2) The VK56VD has VVEL, Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing. This rules out standalone ECUs. Tuning the VK ECU and integrating it with the OEM BCM will be tricky.

3) It's gonna cost a sh*t loads of money and your G will eventually turn into a project car. A/C, cruise control, and other functionality will also be affected.

4) The VK56VD is only rated at 400 ish hp, not worth the ROI of all the above headache.
