I posted a while ago about my recent purchase of a 2000 motor, and installation will be taking place in the next two weeks. I have been waiting for my mechanic to get back from japan so that I could take a closer look at the engine. Upon inspection, I noticed that the intake is exactly like mine. So, now I think that it is a pre-2000 engine. I have read a few differences in the later versions of the VQ30DE, like the EGR valve, MAP sensor, and wiring harness. I am anticipating problems like these when the installation begins, so I will keep everyone posted on the transplant.

 

good luck. How many $Benjamins$ did you have to let go of?

 

for the motor, only 350. He's not going to charge me for installation since I am going to help him.

 

nice deal
how many miles and about how much u planning on spending for parts?

I am seriously interested in hearing about all the details of this engine swap.

Good Luck with this.
