Is there enough space in our cars (4th gen.) to fit the 3.5 plus a turbo?

 

Yes.
10char.

 

Looks like a small one would fit (no homo):

 

You need to donate and search. There are a few 4th gens w/ 3.5's w/ turbos.

 

Wow, I didn't know this, I gotta do some searching now.

 

LOL Yup look for 11 second maximas. You can read up on it in the supercharged/turbocharged forum.

 

Who else, besides Tilley, has a 3.5 and turbo 4th gen?

 

are you serious?!!!! MARDI!!! they have an icon named after him =

 

MardiGras was the first to do it, among others.............................

then mardigras @ 11.4 sec with a 3.5 on his 98

 

why going to fit a turbo on a 3.5? might be a tight fit. Intercooler piping could probably take up close to all of the space between the motor and the batter. Underneath it probably.

 

Wow, you guys need to search around some of the other forums on this board before asking some of these questions.... welcome to yesterday!...

 

im just trying to figure which one I want to do the 3.5 or the turbo, and I figure if I 3.5 now....there may be a possibility of a turbo added in the future i just wanna see my options here.

 

The external dimensions of the 3.5 are indentical to the 3.0 so there would be no difference as far as available space to fit a turbo.

/thread

 

Nissan said "it is an updated 3.0 that they bored out," among a ton of other upgrades. Also on a side note, with say the G35, as far as space goes they just route a lot of the turbo piping outside of the engine bay (Just look at the K&N G35 or some of the DriftSpec ones). I've seen the engine bay of the 5.5 and 6th Gens and its seems like there more forward room than that of the G35 and 250 obviously due to engine bay dimensions and the RWD vs. FWD routing.

My point may not be very clear at this point, so all I'm saying is its totally possiblt, its been done, so stop asking and I'm sorry if I brought this thread back from pg. 2.

 

You responding to my post?

I know very well that the 3.5 has a larger bore than the 3.0. That doesn't mean it takes up any more space in the engine bay.

 

mines the only full 3.5 boosted 4th gen...mardi has vq30 heads i think (dont know why)

 

not full...

 

Hey tilley i tried to PM you but your box is full. I was wondering if you had any VQ35 short blocks (with oil pans) lying around at your shop?

 

Yes the 3.5 is the same size as the 3.0. Why do you think it's lighter? It's the same engine except with a little more missing.

Yeah I remember Mardi having a 3.5/3.0 hybrid for some reason, although why he did that always escaped me.

 

less fabrication???

 

Why do some feel the need to be overly rude to others when they ask questions? First of all, The SEARCH function on here has never worked. Secondly, finding specific things on here manually is not exactly easy. So, what does it hurt to just direct people to the appropriate forum?

A little kindness goes a long way.

 

i want to do this also, and have my max as a toy car. how good would this work with an auto? for that whole set up with the turbo and 3.5. its goin to look around 10 grand huh? what about the tranny?

 

I don't know about that, but I would sure like Nissan to come out with a stock Turbo model. That would be awesome with that 3.5L.

 

If there's enough room with the 3.0 there's enough room with the 3.5. External dimensions are the same.
The new GT-R will have a twin-turbo VQ.



P.S. Haven't seen you around the forums in a while. Still have the max?

 

no I wasn't I was speaking to everyone collectively I agree with the dimensions, its the same whens the next SFMG meet btw?

 

Next BBQ meet? I'm not sure. We haven't decided on a date yet.



But here's a taste of what the last one was like.

I've seen it, thanks for reminding me on how I missed out.. @ss haha alright good stuff thanks.

 

glenmoormax is getting a 3.5 turbo swap sometime in july. im pretty sure he is getting a fully built 3.5 from tilleys elevated bodyworks. also, jcy98maxse has a boosted vq30DEK (engine from 00-01 maxs)

 

scary fast

 

yeah that was really nice, Also Tilly your elevated link does not work.
