- My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart located in the Saint Louis MO area. Part of our model is dismantling and selling parts from rare and niche market engines. I've torn down everything from an LS7 to a Renesis rotary engine. There are several videos to watch! Check out my playlist of engine teardowns here: • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
In this video, I tear apart a VR30DDTT, 3.0L Twin turbo direct injected V6 from a 2017 Infiniti Q50. This is the very first I've had the chance to buy and I was pretty impressed with the overall packaging of this engine, it was pretty simple to work on and didn't require any bizarre tooling to dismantle. I will say that I bet its not as much fun to work on when its in the car. I've done my best to explain some common issues and design concepts that this engine has.
If you'd like to buy parts from this engine, or others I've torn down, feel free to email me at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
Thanks for watching and I'll catch ya on the next one!

As an Infiniti tech , these engines can be problematic if not taken care of. They can have coolant consumption issues, head gasket issues in some cases, however 19+ have been typically solid. It’s all about maintenance. Infiniti recommended almost 10k mile interval oil changes, which is ridiculous imo. I recommend keeping it at 5k with synthetic and you’ll most likely be fine. There is a bulletin to handle the waste gate rattle, however most times we will just replace the turbos.
This always reminds me just how smart people are. Imagine designing this entire thing. All the measurements, clearances, it’s amazing
That engine was enormous. Looks like it's 4 feet tall.
Lots of those early VR engines died due to oil starvation because the oil capacity was not enough to properly lubricate the engine. Nissan recently came out with a new dip stick and updated the recommended amount of oil from 6 to almost 7 quarts depending if it was RWD or AWD.
Never buy a car with a factory turbo.
Sir, I never want you to loose money for my entertainment. That being said, I enjoy the wide variety of engines you have been featuring. I know nothing about modern motors. So you’re giving me a free education with every video. You are appreciated. Thanks. Be safe.
This is another motor I would never want to own. Holy cow talk about so much complexity!
This engine is massive for a 6 cylinder, holy shit.
Saying the plastic pans will crumble in 15 years will have the manufactures back to the drawing room trying to reduce that to one day over warranty
I love the sped-up sounds from your impact gun. sounds like minions sticking their tongues out and Star Wars blasters.
Wow, that bottom end was tired. Impressive that the block and heads survived all the abuse. At least all was not lost.
Watching these videos has me checking my oil on both my cars daily. 3k mile oil changes too. No oil starvation on my watch.

I'm sure someone has already commented but the turbos on the 400hp models have optic speed sensors on the compressor side that measures turbine speed
Your great at what you do, I love your videos. I have watched every teardown you have done and I appreciate you doing them for us to learn why engines break down. These videos are informative, impressive, and addictive to watch! Please keep making these kind of videos!
Certainly one of my favorite channels! Common engines and you can see the most prolific failure arena in them. Good way to know before you build!
Very cool engine. Looks very high quality and well built. Glad to see they kept the bedplate for the crankshaft instead of a girdle design.
Recently started watching your videos, always makes me want to go out and immediately change my oil wether it needs it or not!
I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all you do, this particular video just helped me properly quote a job at work, since I have never worked on this particular engine, it gave me the information I need, thank you for all you do
The sped up section with taking the head bolts out. I laughed because fart noises are funny.
