I heard that the manual trans is smaller than the auto.
Does anyone know the difference in size between the two?

I was originally planning on doing a vq35 4th gen, but now I am thinking of doing a B13 sentra with a VQ35. I want to use an auto, but don't know if it will physically fit in the engine bay.

There was a guy that did a VQ35 with a B15 spec v 6 speed in one. How does the 4th gen auto compare in size to the 6 speed?

Thanks for your help guys!

 

Cant tell you exact measurements and weight but you get the idea

soooo lemme get this straight...u thinkin bout droppin the 3.5L in a Sentra???? Would the engine even fit??? If so, thats a beautiful thing man lol

 

Yes they fit. Several have been done before. And they're quick too.

 

There's a guy who specializes in dropping VQ35s in Spec Vs... iirc, his name is Travis. you can look it up on youtube, those things have crazy power... mmmm torque steer...

 

This is actually going to be me and my brothers winter project next year once we are finished with our maxes.

I dont see why it wouldnt fit. Im sure if a 6 speed can fit in a B14 than our autos can fit in a B13. Especially if the B13 and B14 use the same tranny. Might want to check that out.

 

you remember that red one.?

 

the one with the wheels and doors right!?

 

Yes, I am gonna do it. Just a matter of time.
Nobody has completed a B13 to my knowledge. One guy is almost done with his though.
How does the auto compare in size to the 6 speed? Because I know that the 6 speed fits in the B13.

 

The reason why I want to go with an auto is because of a couple reasons:
1. Fairly strong compared to the 5 spd.
2. Don't have to deal with routing shifter cables and mounting the shifter box.
3. Easier to launch and more consistent.
4. Easier on drive train parts (axles).
