i was trying to read up and i cant figure out what all the differences are between all these engines. more of what is the 00vi?

 

VQ30-3.0 V6 that is in your car--it has "190hp"

VQ35-3.5 V6 out of a car newer than yours--it has ~230hp

00VI-variable intake manifold off of the 2000 maxima. If you plan on swapping this manifold, I recommend having someone around that has done it before

 

/thread.

 

This is all over the org.

 

People really need to learn how to use the search feature..

IBTL.

 

Like this question hasnt been asked before

 

you know, IF you type VQ30 into google the FIRST result is the Wikipedia page on the engine that has ALL the information on ALL the VQ engine variants....
That is, IF you bother to think for a bit.

 

The 3.5 has 255 hp NEWB

You're Welcome.

 

Should have read, as the the description of the 4th gen read ... "255"

 

Ok then the 4th gen has ~ 100hp

 

I thought vq was the tranny code........

 

V = cylinders/engine type
Q = series of engine
30 = displacement (roughly, so ~)
D = DOHC
E = EFI


Seems as if recently they have done away with this "code or nomenclature" and have gone up the alley of 'cool factor' rather than functionality.

 

sorry guys ik i shudda researched more but i was runnin out of time. i knew that the vq30 was my engine n had 190 hp n the info wit the vq3five. i jus cudnt figure out the 00VI. but thanks guy. sorry ha

 

No sweat, all of the info in recent years would make anyone question the actual meaning of these said descriptions.

aj's links are probably the most helpful in your case.

 

Is that your final answer?

Seriously though, who had a gun to your head?

Better yet, being spoon fed does not lend you understanding. It just assuages your infantile curiosity. Congratulations... consider yourselves trolled.

I think you "cudnt figure out" grammatical context.

 

i couldnt figure out what the oovi was. and i already knew what the vq30 and vq35 were and i was about to search about the oovi stuff but i had to do something so i just posted this up. but i got it now.

 

my head hurts
