Infiniti Q50 6 Speed Manual Transmission Swap

[@framos3]

You guys are some great car surgeons, this is like seeing a doctor making a heart transplant, so overwhelming to do

[@jermainejpshepherd2778]

Always said that this is how Infiniti should've did the Q50 & Q60 in the 1st place. 6speed, baby!

[@txboostlife]

🤘🏼Agreed

[@Blassie.P]

Bro no one wants to drive a manual 24/7 no more, auto with paddle are faster and more efficient and offer best of both worlds. I'll take that anyday instead of changing gears in heavy ass traffic every rush hour.

[@jermainejpshepherd2778]

@@Blassie.P maybe not. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I prefer switching my own tho. But as in Q50 & the Q60, its transmission is it's only downfall.

[@artemiscool67]

@@Blassie.P The problem with the auto though is that in most scenarios it shifts so much slower than a manual. It also cant handle a lot of power without getting so hot. Maybe if the shifts were snappier (like DCT or some ZF's) that'd be one thing, but the 7at in this car is anything but. Trans tunes and vb upgrades help. I prefer rowing my own gears daily, but that's not the world anymore.

[@Blassie.P]

@@artemiscool67 disagrees with view about autos being slower in gear shifts our cars are entry level sports coupes and sedans not a Ferrari, and im not sure what your talking about in terms of hot my Infiniti doesn't have that problem and I haven't heard that in any forums too.

[@em2attic]

Manual was the only thing holding me from a q50, i knew it could be done annnnnnd you boosted my want for one a whoooooole lot more

[@Jay-le7gh]

how much did this cost damn 😅 really hope you can upload more content like this! your channel can really blow up with content like this

[@RichTran365]

6 speed swaps open up so much potential for any car it's crazy, wether it be a 14' q50 or a 6 speed swap v8 Ford Fusion hahaha you got a huge garage btw, so much room for activities lol

[@kendrickh91]

For activities 🤣🤣🤣

[@jae350gt]

Great video, thank you for going over the pin out of the tcm connector.

[@fredwilliams7893]

Amazing! Holding it down for Infiniti and all of us fans! I swear i will never sell my 08 M45 Sport! Now if only mine had the 6 speed manual!👍

[@theodorecendejas1343]

Bro 👏👏👏👏 BRAVO.... on your build. I actually sold my 2013 G37s and purchased a 2018 S4.. but kinda wishing I should've got Q60RS and watching this really makes me miss my infinity....

[@theodorecendejas1343]

@Sjdidjcn Jdir9fj its a good car, it responds well to power mods. But why not get a V8.

[@werunited1993]

Hell yeah man Now I would like for you to do mine a 6 speed Swap 👀👀

[@Soravia]

When you cut metal to bare, use gun bluing to stabilize the steel so they don't rust easily. Do that before primer for best result. Similar effect to galvanized steel surface on modern cars.

[@txboostlife]

Thank you for that tip, I never thought about doing that!

[@jmac0068]

Subbed, Nothing like working on your own car and actually seeing progress is amazing 👍🏽 Cammed my SS myself lifters oil pump all that good stuff.

Is the waterpump on the 3.0 turbo engine from the Infiniti Q50 mounted on the timing chain. I like the Q50 and Q60.

[@chrisgude8155]

Appreciate the content folks.

[@txboostlife]

Thanks for watching!

[@Rezaz32]

What did you do about the e-brake? You removed the foot brake, but I didn’t see a handbrake installed.

[@txboostlife]

New video is up. Converted to electronic parking brake!

You are the bast brother keep going 💪💪💯👍

[@NismoDre410]

So what happened with the abs , i plan on doing this soon thanks for the vid!

[@alexistorres3896]

If you would have a chance of doing it again with another how much will you charge?

[@Salvisol]

Shame Infiniti didn't offer a manual in the US.

[@gabrielflorentino6080]

Not with the q50 and the q60 tho. But obviously as you might know they did with the g35 and g37 sedans and coupe

[@JonathanMartinez-xs5ze]

Why not just swap a gtr engine and trans? Nissan/Infiniti already did with the eau rogue. The engineers had some trouble but it works and they were able to shoehorn the entire setup into the q50 without any major mods

[@txboostlife]

Jonathan Martinez they used the transmission from the SUV to fit. GTR trans goes in the rear of the vehicle. Best thing to do to go fast is put a DCT with and adapter plate but 6MT is just plain fun

[@JonathanMartinez-xs5ze]

TxBoostLife - oh ok didn’t know that. Is this an awd 6 speed?

[@javiidann876]

Jonathan Martinez no it’s rwd

[@Chand_G.]

Amazing mod man

[@nathanzweiacher2551]

Just 6 speed swapped my g37. Only thing I'm having trouble with is my cruise control isnt working. Is there a wire from the tcm plug for cruise control?

[@dom_z3480]

Just trying to see the new 400z in action lmfaaaao

[@louismat319]

I just don't get why manufactures don't make manual transmissions anymore

[@Carlos-d1e6s]

i like that beat music you play in background. do you have any info on it?

[@OrangeCounty92]

Does the manual trans feel faster? My friends q50 auto was beating all manual cars.

[@wolf9085]

How much for Swap the Manual transmission

[@MiguelPerez-hi6ru]

Awd or rwd?

[@decease-vj5zy]

Miguel Pérez rwd

[@jboston454]

Looking to swap out my auto transmission out of my 15 vq37 , my valve body went on my transmission so I figured I would just make it a 6 speed .... any suggestions ??

[@mugen89crx]

Love the video, i did jump that neutral wire like in your video. But When I try driving my g37 the car goes into limp mode. Do I have to change the ecu calibration? Or can jump the shifter Into thinking it’s in neutral or manual mode ?

[@txboostlife]

Have to get the manual rom if not it will go into limp mode without the TCM. Alternatively you can keep the TCM connected somewhere in the car to keep the communication with it and maybe it won’t go into limp mode

[@mugen89crx]

@@txboostlife ok thanks.

[@mugen89crx]

@@txboostlife would you know where I can get the rom ? If you guys sell it or where I can get it?

Hey man looking to do a similar swap to mine jus got it not long ago, am I able to do it on a stock motor ? Or is that a different motor than the VQ37

[@rubenmontemayorjr4807]

May i ask how much this runs us?. Want to do it to my q50. Once my trans blows I’d like the 6MT

[@martinmercadojr.1034]

This shit dope🔥🔥🔥 I Need a list of everything you got my bro I’m trying to do this to my car 🤧

[@timlittle3490]

What was the driveshaft you got to work for this swap

[@realonethreesevens3640]

This is dope

[@On3_media]

Would a driveshaft from a G37 fit? I always wondered if it was a direct fit doing this trans swap. 🧐

[@txboostlife]

I honestly didn’t even try it. I do know that the driveshaft you’ll need is 2 in shorter than stock. Whatever you get will need to be a one price because the chance of the carrier bearing being in the same spot would be slim and you’ll want an upgrade either way.

[@On3_media]

TxBoostLife - Ah, makes sense. Tbh I was asking out of curiosity. I’m putting a VR30 in my Z and you got suggested. It was a great watch!! Sick project, dude!

[@jdm420sx]

Was the car able to start without flashing the ecu?

VivaLaFiesta GoPro settings were changed and I used the video I had instead of taking the car apart again and starting over. I’ve fixed that issue since then but as you can tell by my previous videos that I had no editing software or camera other than an iPhone. With the profits of this channel I am purchasing more equipment to make y’alls experience better. Thanks for watching and your feedback!
