Nissan VQ37VHR: Everything You Need to Know

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Article: dustrunnersauto.com/vq37vhr/
All in, approximately 35% of the parts on the VQ37 are different from the VQ35HR before it. Both engines share a surprising amount of similarities as we discussed in our VQ35 vs VQ37 video. All in, the VQ37VHR is a great engine, features a lot of cool technology, and at that it came out it was pretty far ahead of anything the competition offered.
Today in 2020, it's still a great engine, but Nissan really hasn't changed in much since it's initial, and that's because they're moving toward turbocharged engines such as the VR30DDTT.

    These motors are basically bulletproof. i worked at Infiniti for about 6 years and we only had 1 VQ37 engine swap in a 6 year span due to the driver redlining the vehicle every time it was driven for about 4 years. The VR30DDTT on the other hand we had about 2 swaps a week on those engines. VQ's are just superior.

And the car itself has a great sound system and excellent quality materials and style for the price. All my cars have been from japan, and I like the fact that they share parts (Infiniti/Nissan) and as my previous car, they are also easy to mantain. They are easy to sell, the next buyer knows he is buying a durable car. Everytime I drive this car with this engine VQ37, I enjoy it so much. 😍

    @@RubberChickenMan007 You sure about that? the 6speed transmission can handle 800hp stock (of course it will need a racing clutch though) with a very good notch feel also being the first to introduce rev matching. Both the engine and the transmission from the 370z has been used in a lot of swaps, one of them being a 2JZ engine and a 370z 6-speed transmission in a 240Z to push out 600whp+. The only part in the transmission that needs to be swaped out is the CMC cause the stock one is made of plastic instead of the metal aftermarket version, everything else is bullet proof on the 6 speed. the 7at can only handle up to 450hp but there is an aftermarket billet sold by Fast intentions to increase its handle output to 1000whp. Although i do admit the paddle shifters arent as responsive as the GTRs dual clutch auto, but its also used in the infiniti red sport 400 GTR and 370z Transmissions are in another league compared to other nissan cars/trucks

I hate it with a passion and there's practically nothing I can do about it for now. The only upgrade I've seen so far is swapping the auto trans from the q50 provided the valve body from the G is moved over. The trans from the q50 is much beefier and I think it shifts better. It also blows that there's no dip stick to service the trans fluid or filter on these. Granted, there are ways to change the fluid, but it's a pain in the ass.

    If you eliminate the exhaust restrictions, it's feasible to gain 40 wheel hp with a tune. My 370z touring exhaust was 1.75" at the Y pipe and overall the exhaust was restrictive. I installed test pipes with 400 cell Magnaflow cats as the only restriction plus a 2.5 inch dual x-piped exhaust with only K&N drop ins on the intake and gained that much on a dynojet tuning session. There is significant power to be gained with bolt on equipment and a tune, but it gets expensive really quickly. Great engine! Hopefully I'll not have to deal with the oil gallery leak that can happen to a pre 13 engine.

I beat a G37 coupe the other day that got the jump on me from a dig and passed by him in about three 3 seconds while he was full throttle!

    I'd say the gains with a tune and cost effective bolt-ons goes a long way. My G37 stock put down 272 HP on a dynojet. After, I had 2.5" madrells installed, no cats, X-pipe and a Borla muffler. With this it went up to 290HP pre-tune and 307 post tune (Mustang Dyno). I'm still running the stock intakes with K&N filters. Mine is a 7 speed AT which I thought I'd regret because I couldn't find a good manual one to buy, but I don't. With the same tune I was able to get the TQ management tables raised which allows it to shift hard and chirp tires all the way to 3rd at WOT. If I wanted to boost it to 500 HP, I'd prefer to keep the same auto trans and reinforce it; there are a few companies that do it. With the current settings, the shifts feel like a DCT.

    Well for the trans. There’s 2 weak points when boosting it. The flex plate and the torque converter. Because otherwise the trans in the vr q50/60’s are really similar mechanically. But because of the better flex plate and torque converter the vr trans hold 600-700 before needing a built trans. But honestly if you do transmission cooler and a aftermarket flex plate if you plan on doing about 500 your stock trans should be fine.

    The VQ37HR is not as efficient as the VR38, it is close. The VR Bore is 98 mm with the same 86mm stroke. VR38 also has, the same deck height and since the bore is slightly larger, so are the Valves and their arrangement within the larger Bore. The VVT and the Twins also are an improvement. As a matter of fact the VR38 VE table is 3-6% more [86%-83% at 7000RPM/ 96%-90% @55000RPM)) and thus, has a bit more flow.[ (Air Volume/Cycle)/(Displacement)]. The VQHR is one hell of an engine : the VR38 is simply an incremental improvement, but the VR38 is the slightly better engine. I am making 925 Engine HP with Stock Internals [E85 using ECUTEK] and upgraded Turbos. Again, the VQ is nothing to "sneeze" at!!! NISSAN did a great job with the VQ37HR and thanks for your learned review of the VQ37HR, you are extremely knowledgeable: very refreshing with all the "crap" on the Internet!

    I have the exact same car with the 6M gearbox in Magnetic black. I haven't noticed any sort of handling anomalies such as you mention. I did a very fast drive down the California coast highway, US 1, from Oregon to San Francisco on very tight and twisty turns at more than double the posted speed limit. The car handled flawlessly and was completely stable. I did wear out the OEM Bridgestone Potenza tires in front though. Shortly after I got the car I had a set of stiffer Hotchkiss anti-roll bars put on the front and rear.

    @@jacksparrow5281 I put the Michelin PS4S 245/40R19-F, 275/35R19 R(OEM sizes) on and noticed that the ride is quieter and less harsh. I had to go up on the inflation pressures from the stock 32 psi all around to 43 psi - front and 46 psi - rear to get equal tread wear across the tires. The Michelins have great grip in the wet and dry and I estimate that I will get 30K miles on them easily, without tire rotation - which we can't do on this car with directional rotation tires and the staggered tire sizes. My only complaint with this tire is that because of the more flexible sidewalls the handling is a little more vague and less precise. I plan to go with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s for the next tire. Around the end of the year I'm planning on putting a set of Litespeed forged magnesium wheels, maybe in 20", on the car in a +1 setup. One nice thing that I like with the Michelin tires as compared with the Bridgestone tires is the use of Aramid fiber instead of steel belts, which makes each tire a few pounds lighter. The stiffer bars will make the ride more harsh, but the handling improvements are well worth it in my opinion.

    I have a 2019 370z sport coupe 6M and the oil does run hot in stop and go city driving on warm days, about 220⁰F. Nissan did improve the oil to water intercooler, but the oil still tends to run hot. This is due to the VVEL mechanism that puts a lot of contact pressure on the oil that heats it up. The Nissan ester oil that I use in it tends to shear down from it's nominal 30 weight grade to a 20 grade after about 3k miles, which is when I change it. The good thing is that my engine uses virtually no oil, after the careful break in I gave it.
