has anyone heard of putting in a 4th gen motor in a 3rd gen? does it work with no problems if done correctly? both are 3.0 liter so i was suppose that it wouldnt be that much larger. i was wondering because my max is getting some high mileage on it, id rather keep it and get a motor swap then to buy a new car

 

....... oooohhhhhhh, boy!!

 

I've never seen or heard of anyone pulling that off. It'd be pretty cool to see it happen though.

 

I used to have a Q45 motor in mine, but the stupid thing was so heavy my car actually went slower....

 

To find out everything you need to know about swapping a VE for a VQ just click here

 

da-max i think your full of shyt, q45s have big V8's in them, im not sure of the exact displacement but i dont believe that you had it unless you have pics, in which if anyone had a q45 motor in thier max they sure as hell would do

 

oh I got plenty of pics.....

 

It's about an easy/feasable of a swap as the VQ, so why not??

 

 

I'd post the pics but I don't have a scanner and my cousin wrecked the car a few weeks ago so I can't take any new ones with my digi cam...

Da-Max, you sound like someone else I know

Anyhoo, this person sounds at least genuine in the request.

A VQ swap would be a real nice swap. Especially if that included the VQ3.5. But consider the following:
1) Completely different engine mounts
2) Completely different bellhousing bolt pattern I assume.
3) Completely different wiring harness.

Your statement about being "done right" is a loaded one. As in you would have be loaded to make it happen.

Now, this is has been discussed before so I suggest searching before getting your head cut off from the sharks.

 

My Cobra 427 conversion fit fine.

 

Jeff are you speaking of our old buddy with TT 91 se??

 

you guys are all whack...going bigger is not better. I am happy with my SR20DE-T and I still have plenty of room in the engine bay.

 

don't everyone got one of those? i know 3 guys w/ that in it!

 

Well, I just dropped a vtec in my max and put an all drive system on it. I also took out 200 lbs of weight, but put a 200 lbs body kit on there.

 

You all suck. Search the archives and you will see that I dropped in a viper motor months ago.

 

You suck. However IBTL

i dropped my car and along with it came the engine , the pressure differential in height forces more air in so, like i go from 2 inches to 8 inches in about 6 seconds flat
