What is the easiest and cheapest way of doing this? I've read so many threads that I am now confused??? Please somebody just give me the simple detailed answer on what I should get(parts list) and I'll take it from there.

thanks in advance and please don't tell me to search I have every 00vi thread bookmarked, but everyone is different.

 

mevi is bolt on and simple to install and looks 100x better than 00vi...

00vi is harder with custom parts.. but over all better than mevi.. gains across the whole board...

 

I know this , But I want the lower, mid range and topend of the 00vi that the mevi lacks and am willing to piece a 00vi together. I just need somebody to tell me exactly what to buy for the 00vi install.

 

Did you go to Tatanko's site? It has everything laid out each way it can be done. It's a matter of how much money and work you want to do.

 

Can you give me that site again? I thought I had it , but don't.

 

you can get a whole dek motor for less then 500$ with about 10k on it :O www.car-parts.com Thats what i did sir.

 

So much extra work for not much extra power.....

Pat's site is: http://away.no-ip.org/maxima/

 

I am not mechanically inclined for something like that nor do I ave the patience and tools for it. If I had access to a shop (like I used to) I would definitely do it. I also was great friends with a master nissan tech who did tons of engine swaps especially sr20de-t's into se-r's and 240's. He moved . Another thing that was cool was access to the consult. Boy i miss those days.

oh and besides If I did a engine swap it would be a 3.5!

 

i had the old motor out in an hour. and the new one in . in about 2 due to the heavy automatic transmissions. Its not as hard as you think.

 

I am going to do this one
00 Upper and 4th gen lower, 4th gen Fuel R&Inj, 4th gen TB, 4th gen IACV, 00 EGR guide tube or no EGR. What else do I need to do this??

 

Well you need an rpm switch. You need adapter plates. you need gaskets, nipples and hoses. You need to decide on which valve cover and which coils your're going to use. You also need to have the 4th LIM drilled so you should buy an extra.

 

I know I need the rpm switch, adapter plates and the 2000 rear coil packs. And can't I just use my stock 4th gen valve cover or do i need a 00?

 

You can use the 4th cover but it needs to be hacked at.

 

You need to shave down your VC, or use the DEK piece.

 

I'll see if i can get a dek piece cheap if not the extra labor is no big deal. Another thing is it hard to wire in the rpm switch. I really didn't see much written about that?

Not really, there are 4 wires. One goes to the green wire for of the VIAS which is your signal out. One goes to the red wire on the VIAS for 12v power. One is ground, and one goes to the tach.

 

That's personal opinion. I happen to think my shiny black monstrous-looking manifold looks pretty nice

I feel like a celebrity now haha.

 

Your website rules man. Thanks for doing that.

 

I have info and knowlege both on 00vi and dek swaps..have done both. pm me if you need to!

 

Swapping a motor is so much easier than dealing with all the different setups you could use for the 00VI IMO. Process would break down as follows:

Drop tranny
Remove old motor
Drop in new motor
Put tranny back on
Wire injectors
Wire RPM switch
And all the other small stuff...

Much more worth it IMO because you get a whole new motor with less miles in most cases.

But then again, this isn't very simple to most orgers.

 

That's fine. Each his own. I dont really think it's a better deal because you really have no knowledge of what kind of condition that de-k is going to be in. I'd rather do some more work and feel good I did it, also knowing how my engine is. Plus I dont really see how bolting on a new manifold is more work than pulling and dropping engines and trannys....

 

I agree, pulling and dropping motors and trannys isn't as easy as that. It s ALOT more involved then swapping a intake manifold.

 

Can you say "Oxymoron?"

It's definitely not simple, and if you're not about 99% confident that you clearly and thoroughly understand the "why" of "what" you're contemplating undertaking, step-by-step, item-by-item, then don't even start. Too many guys wade into this project with inflated egos and a half-**** understanding of the what and why, and then end up with things not working right and trying to find answers on the org to what's wrong. And one of the problems you'll have to solve on your own is figuring out how to separate the factual information posted by guys who have the actual experience and understanding of what they're talking about, from the chatter coming from guys who are just regurgitating things they've swallowed that others with similarly limited knowledge have posted. Good Luck. But Tatanko has done a good job sorting thru that stuff.

Oh, and BTW, most of the information and answers you're looking for will be found in the All Moror section. And in answer to your question about wiring up the RPM switch, I'll send Tatanko some good wiring diagrams for his web site.

 

First off I know its not simple, but I am very confident and comfortable I can do this and will have help(mechanic friend) with me ,so I don't mess anything up. And when I was referring to simple I meant in comparison to doing a engine swap. I think there is to many people on this board who love to come in a post and disrupt it and I agree totally with you on Tatanko's info and that's what I'm going off of.

 

Where the hell did you get that quote???(EDIT)(I see where you got it)

btw i should have put this in the all motor forum, but wanted just 4th gen answers.

 

i have 00VI for sale if you interested.
its almost complete

 

pm me what you have and how much

 

I never said it was more work. In fact, it's a lot less work to put on a manifold. All I'm saying is that I believe it is more cost efficient, and that when you get the whold DE-K motor, you can pretty much plug and play. Get the EGR welded shut, don't connect your IACV, and you're running. But like I said, most orgers don't swap motors every day.

 

Ok I can understand where you're coming from with that then.
