ryan hagen · 05-08-2007, 07:32 PM

i got a vq that i have been messin with from a pathfinder. the throttle body is in the middle, it has a intake similliar to a stpck rb20/25, with 3 runners to each side and points to a side over only 1 valve cover, it has varriable intake runners, with long runners that switches to short runners.

irax · 05-08-2007, 07:51 PM

thats cool post some pics of that manifold! I'm thinking about pickin that up and using it instead of the 350z. All VQ35DE's have a variable intake setup

twofortyrida1388 · 05-08-2007, 09:10 PM

Does anyone have an estimate of what it cost them to do the swap?

irax · 05-09-2007, 12:14 AM

so far I have spent 3k on the motor set, 200 for ecu, ignition lock, key, emobilizer, 60 for the maf, 100 for fuel pump. If I get really lazy its going to be about 500 to pay some else to wire it, 50 bucks for megan test pipes and y pipe.

3260 is what I have into it, and that is everything I need to DIY add another 1k if I goto joe schmoe wiring guy and have him wire it up. so for 4k if your a smart shopper, shop s mart!

blu808 · 05-09-2007, 01:39 AM

you realize we have a full swap kit right? $800 for the mount kit and we also have headers, ds, etc

irax · 05-09-2007, 07:38 AM

thats cool... If you have a wire harness for the s14 obd2 with vq35de using 02 maxima ecu ill buy that.

Emp123 · 05-10-2007, 02:42 AM

Just to clarify, this is a totally CARB legal swap right? Its a newer engine produced by the same manufacturer and it (the engine) meets all of todays emission laws. I am currently looking into my options for a legal swap that will offer lots of power and Id prefer to use a newer engine as opposed to the SR/RB (there are people trying to make them CARB legal, the thread is in the Tech section) which are kinda getting old.

DP_Michelle G · 05-10-2007, 01:03 PM

^^ No it is not a "CARB legal" swap. For it to be a legal swap you will need all the vq emissions parts and then take it have it checked out by the ref.

irax · 05-10-2007, 01:15 PM

It is a legal swap if you swap over ALL the emissions equipment.

UfoZ8myCow · 05-10-2007, 04:44 PM

So... Put on the stock headers and cats and a conservative exhaust and Im sure youll pass the ref. After you get it legalized youll be free to go crazy on it.

irax · 05-10-2007, 05:42 PM

no, you have to hook up the evap lines, and charcole canister is hooked up. Just because you got a legal motor it doesnt mean you got a free pass for turbos, no cats, and supper polluter. no you still gotta rock that shit. otherwise LA will be supper smoggy again!

Emp123 · 05-10-2007, 11:02 PM

Is it difficult to keep all the emissions shit? I don't have a problem keeping them, I figure the 300hp the engine offers is good enough for me (until I get more money.....then weeeee)

irax · 05-10-2007, 11:08 PM

It shouldnt be difficult but i'll let you know

McRussellPants · 05-10-2007, 11:27 PM

lol super polluter.

if every car in the usa had zero emmisions it would still be less than 3% of world greenhouse gas production.

caring about car emissions is stupid.

irax · 05-11-2007, 08:34 AM

yeah that is true but about quality of air

ya but everyone with an attitude like yours is why we have more pollution than we need. So your not caring about car emissions because you consider them a low contribution to the overall problem, is a stupid rationalization. It pretty much means your looking to feel better about the polluting you do.

Or I don't delude myself into thinking that even ten-thousand vehicles with 15% less emmisions in a 243,023,485 pool (passenger vehicles only). thats polluting less than 3% of the world product will effect anything other than my pretentious-ness level, which, is already high enough thank you.

power plants produce 60%, but nobody thinks about those, since thats not as trendy as the latest ZZZZZZXLEV that carb is touting as the saviour of everything.

Global Warming is 100% sensationalist. all the big problems are being ignored for the "pat yourself on the back you're helping by running that 40 watt bulb for 10 seconds less each day".

and to make this post on topic.

Theres a VQ swapped 240 in Modified or something this month. Its pretty hilarious since they dropped the front subfame to do the swap. subframe is 1in off the ground, front bumper is 5in off the ground. Go check it out and rofl.

touche, I applaud you on the good comeback. I don't disagree with a lot of what you wrote above either. Although global warming is here and in a funny way its about time we started realizing that shit.
Yes to keep it on topic that swap in modified was pretty ugly

irax · 05-11-2007, 02:19 PM

LOL! yeah I looked at the swap, I don't understand why they would do that other than more clearance for turbos? it must handle pretty funn, i mean the engine sits really close to the crossmember and that shit is on the ground. I bet he hits his pan changing lanes! my oil pain sits above the cross member and directly behind the anti-sway bar. so it will be nearly inpossible to hit my oil pan.

twofortyrida1388 · 05-11-2007, 06:15 PM

That is dumb unless the car is used for track only. With the pan as low as that one is, good luck driving it on the street.

ryan hagen · 05-14-2007, 06:12 PM

i have a pic, how do i post it, i havent posted a pic in a couple years

twofortyrida1388 · 05-18-2007, 11:06 AM

I can't do it right either.

Emp123 · 06-03-2007, 09:08 PM

Any new news?

irax · 06-04-2007, 12:22 AM

well, untill i can afford the time to do the swap the carb legal way or have serious answers quickly, I think I'm going to get the AEM computer + wiring harness from vqswap.com. I talked with Andrew at the track today and I would much rather have a running car, than to keep slowly working on it.

twofortyrida1388 · 06-04-2007, 11:19 AM

How do you swap harness. Like how does all the accessory things work with a vq, the map light or power locks shit like that.

GSXRJJordan · 06-04-2007, 12:10 PM

I'm soooooo glad Drift Freaq is in this thread layin down answers ~ he has more knowledge than most, and a perfectionist bug that makes me trust whatever he uses himself to be more than enough for me

Lets see that kit and a price/parts breakdown D, and IB we can't wait for you to finish your car!

yeah I really can not wait either thats why im going with vqswap stuff.

Their wiring harness that works with AEM is 400 bucks but you also need the injector harness for the 350z
and the AEM computer is 1950?
and then a GM map sensor that was like 25 bucks?

there was a few more parts but Andrew said his kit and setup is doing 275 hp but I'm not 100% sure because they were playing music WAY to loud at the track and it was very hard to carry on our conversasion.

twofortyrida1388 · 06-04-2007, 07:28 PM

Is that aem setup standalone?

blu808 · 06-04-2007, 08:39 PM

We have the vqswap.com install kits in stock.

Pm me if anyone is interested.
