could but i'm at work and i'm talking with a friend about an engine swap... the engine should be a direct bolt in, but i wanted to check that. So i wanted to to know where it leaves the engine, and which side it runs on till it exits the the back right

What engine? Trust me the exhaust is the easiest part of an engine swap. You have a 3-gen right? There is no direct bolt in install unless it's another VG maxima engine. No Ve, VG30DE, VG30-T, no VG30Dett, RB26DET, VQ, VQ3.5, VG30SC or Q45 engine. So what engine did you have in mind?

Actually it is none of the above...honest;y it's a secret right now. My boy has a friend that did it to his car and it was very close to a direct bolt in, the only thing he thinks is that there may have had to havebeen a stretch in the exhaust. But the engine i'll be putting in uses the same motor mounts, but i'll be swapping the axles, ecu, and tranny and all that good stuff. So basically i was just wanting to see if there would be some fabrication needed for the exhaust routing

Why is it a secret? If you have to change the ecu, tranny etc... I don't see how it's gonna be "bolt in". Exhuast fab is really easy. Any exhaust shop can fab pipes. So what engine is it?

Hey, hey, hey now! Give him a chance. So far he's asked about cv joints, brakes, fiberglass, springs and we all gave him advice right?
So why not share what great engine he is gonna put in as a bolt in swap?
I wanna know.

Heheh! I wasn't trying to make fun of him, I was just thinking of "what's the most kick-*** top-secret, but wildest engine swap I could think of?"
For the record, I'm really interested too (and would've helped had I any expertise to lend).

Hemi
hmmm...a hemi...think i could fit one in there? what would that do to my weight distribution?
There really isn't anything all that special about the engine. The only sad part is that i will no longer have a V-6. It will be a jap-spec sr20det. I've got the hook up through one of my friends with a shop here in austin. One of his friends did the same swap on his third gen about a year and a half ago

Re: Hemi
Cool! What kind of torque does those things have? I know they have about 200hp stock and can to 300hp w/ mods easy. You will probably need the entire sr20det wiring harness to work also, new tranny, cv joints custom exhaust from the turbo down pipe to cat(again should be easy). But shouldn't you be talking to the guy who did the swap and ask him? If anyone would know, it would be him.

The engine has 211 ft/lbs of torque. Yeah this was for my own, i'll 'll be talking to himm later, but i'm at work and i was kind of curious now...besides..gotta lose the newbie tag!

I'd love to see pics once it's done
many people will doubt you though until it's done because people come on here all the time saying "I know so-and-so who did this engine swap" and have great plans, but it never turns out
prove everyone wrong
good luck

I'm being positive as usual.

Well, personally I wouldn't be going from 6 to 4 cylinders, but hey, there are no rules in the quest for horsepower!
The BEST thing about switching to that engine is that there are probably a lot of performance parts for it and you could get really hardcore with it.
I just hope it makes enough low-end to get the Max moving okay (not that that matters in a race).
Best of luck and keep us updated!

One concern
Peak torque looks really nice and heathy at 211 ft/lbs, but going from a 3.0L to a 2.0L, you'll lose a lot of off-idle low-end torque.
3rd gens are pretty heavy cars. If you do this, you'd want the boost to come on fairly early for good drivability.
