Well I havent seen an engine bay photo thread in ages. With all the new members and guys doing all kinds of different intake manifold swaps, engine swaps, and just plain old vq30de engine photos from stock or with mods, we should post up a bunch. Would love to have a look at everyones !

I dont have much but will start up with mine. and disregard that arrow and airflow thing, just some redneck theory we were talking about in another post. basically i still have the stock vq30de with usim. Have slowly cleaned out the engine bay from removing the stock airbox, going with a smaller battery to a/c delete.

So yeah, post up your engine bay shot and say a few words if you have the time. Maybe after a few hundred post we can pick out some setups and give awards like.

- best engine bay
- worst engine bay
- dirtyest engine bay
- most unique
- bling bling award

ha !

Mine

 

Whoa why is the filter backwards? or is that how it made? Maybe im stupid but does that help airflow or something?

 

 

Alittle Out dated.

 

supercharged with mevi ?

 

 

I win

 

 

Wow, nice corroded battery.

 

 

i kno that this is 4th gen. forum, but i felt like posting a pic of my 5th gen....
huso

 

I still have a lot of work to do.

 

Sparkplug cover is all black now, Filter zip-ties are out of view now, K&N is actually pink again, all caps and random pieces are black, been the same for awhile.

 

Ceasar yours looks pretty clean, love the tiny battery.

 

darrick thats an interesting spark plug cover ! whats the story behind that is that paint or polish or what ? looks good. i love these kinda threads, neat to see what everyone has done.

j you should do an before and after with that photo, lol ! do a killer engine bay cleaning and see if you could bring her back to life ! but your seriously in the running for dirty engine bay, lol !

 

A little old...




That polished spark plug cover is something, I've never seen one like it.

 

Matty I bow down to u... http://forums.maxima.org/images/smilies/bowdown.gif

 

lol, I thought my bay was disgusting

yeah its paint i paid out the *** for it but it is really nice to be diffrent from all the rest so it was worth the money.

 

its some K&N xtreme flow filter, a bit odd. this photo shows the other side, and please no comments on the air flow crap, just some redneck stuff.

 

Which vortech power cooler model is that? I know they don't make one specifically for the VQ30. I'm thinking of doing the same to keep the boost temps down. FMIC is too flashy for me, especially in california.

 

Ok After:

J/K

But there's a red top in there now too.

 

I don't remember the specific part # but it is for a mustang. I also had the unit rebuilt with mustang internals.

 

Here's mine. It's still work in progress. Intake is stock with a drop-in K&N panel filter, plus a heater hose that acts as a CAI pipe (not shown in pic).

 

 

TJ Max

 

mine for the win:

 

TJ Max has no hood struts. My car had no hood.

 

sorry its so far away..only one i cud find

 

True, but I have a carbon fiber hammer laying in my engine bay somewhere, you had a regular wooden one. .

 

I'm doing the complete wood conversion. Wooden trunk, Wooden hood, and wooden stillen lip. I think it'll offset my woodgrain nicely. That's the ONLY reason I had a wooden hammer lying around, to match the car.

 

Awesome, I know a 1996 Log Cabin, that's parting out, maybe you can take the wood hood off of it to complete the look. . LOL.

 

Wood floors FTW!!

TJ I really dig the matte black look...

 

Really? I felt like it lacked bling bling appeal, I was gonna polish the piping also but that's changing since i'm intercooling it...


I like to have girls do their hair and make up in that shiny *a*s*ss mevi cover. LMAO.

 

tj what the heck with all the other goodies under the hood , i have never seena fstb like that before for a maxima ?

 

MUahahaa, they retail for $120 shipped. Shoot me a PM fellas, I can get them for less than that. It damn sure is a beefy strut bar. Lightweight aluminum.

 

I've seen those on 350z and G35's.

 

not the best not the worst

 

Getting to the polishing in the summer
