I have been talking to a buddy of mine who works for Nissan. Long story short, he is going to try and snag me a engine from a Maxima that needs a Timing Chain guide. He says they just get used for scrap metal and can more then likely grab one for me. I have a few questions in regaurds to a swap in a S13.
1. It is a FWD, what are the HP specs vs. a Z VQ? He has one of those lying around too.
2. Does anyone have mounting specs? I have researched EngineSwaptech.com/FA.com/N ico.com. I havent found any SPECIFIC specs
3. What transmission mounts are you using?
4. Driveshaft? Custom?
5. Anyone successfully use the Xterra 6 Speed tranny housing? I think I read on FA.com that the linkage should line up real close on a S13.
6. Anyone hook up A/C and P/S successfully?
7. Typical problems with the swap?
Pretty much I am trying to become familiar with the swap before I start so I can lessen the chances of problems.
I think thats about all I can think of for the moment. Monday I find out whether or not I will be able to pick the VQ up. If the Z VQ is better, I will hold out for them to pull that one. Thanks!
