my vq35 s14 swap thread pic hevy

so i posted a new thread on another forum without much interest. im looking for a 240sx forum that stays pretty active maybe this one?

hi guys, i thought id go ahead and start my build thread up. i just got the shell yesterday. anybody need any parts? its a 95 se/le model thats been sitting for quite some time im hoping to show how reasonable this swap can be done including my gas bill (lol)

im usually a 3000gt guy myself but always wanted a 350z, as i stated im not exactly rolling in dough so i have to make due with what i got. ill keep a running tally of everything i buy rounded up to the nearest $10.

so how about some pictures? sorry there huge but im blind
taken yesterday, had a time getting her home (litterlly 4 blocks)

lol pics are on the way, im picking up the engine and trans this week ($1000). ill have $1530 invested then. im buying a swap kit off another user($700) im doing all the wiring myself. $250 to have it flash tuned and nats removed at national speed. any of the stock parts that i sell off the car subtracts from my totals and im getting a fre other misc parts. im looking to have less than $2500 id i break $2200 ill be supprised :naughtyd:

What year vq and from were. Any boost going to be added? Just asking

a friend of mine that wrecked his z it was on 04, boost is probably gonna happen next year i will be running e85 however. i love that stuff!

Yeah e85 is the SHIT. Especially for turbo applications.

That's a badass deal on the vq w/ trans. Damn.

thanks man, i ran it in my base 3000gt and never looked back. it smells great, it loves timing, and the initial 20lb/f of tq rocks.

Hi guys my name is Peter and I'm from San Jose, CA. I own a 1990 S13 Coupe. I'm a poor college student who just jumped onto the 240sx bandwagon but 240s have always had a special place in my heart since about 1 month ago.

but of course! i have no vtc. these are in the top 10 greatest motors list. so YUP!

theres so much interchangability between all these motors.

titangts looks like you have alot of fab work to get those manifolds working or are those stock vq30 manis?

no real updates yet, weather has absolutely sucked. i am going to pick the engine up this saturday, lots of pictures to come.

thats a custom manifold, the vq30det has the throttle body pointing the other way.

how about the exhaust manifolds?

looks like the factory vq30det manifold, but i could be wrong. it definitely does look like the factory log style manifold

Be interesting to see how yours turns out, I'm rocking a 93 coupe with a '04 vq also. Been driving it daily and track for almost a year now and have been happy with the reliability, millage and performance. Been thinking of a rear mount turbo one day but cams would be about perfect for power upgrades.

KansaiDrifter: that is one clean engine bay! if you dont mind me asking who did all of your wiring, i kinda need a cheat sheet on what wires i need to splice with my vq and s14 harness.
MEGA UPDATE!!!!!
i picked up my engine, trans, ecu, and harness today! it was dark when i got home so ill get some pics up asap tomorrow.
