Here's the link. Got head off to work so I don't have time to type much else.

Good stuff!

Very interesting range of components.

 

GOOD find!!!!

 

nice find

did anyone see the 4.3 stroker kit...thast crazy
-J

 

Yeah, I saw that; it doesnt say it but, can you imagine the MAD torque we'd get from that.

 

That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it. Can you just imagine what that thing is going to cost!

Cam Specs:

NISMO offers a range of camshafts for the VQ35DE engine.

First off the bat is the NISMO R Tune setup, which consists of 262 degrees of duration, and .426" lift. Increased mid range power makes it a perfect street setup.

Next up the ladder are NISMO's Spec 1 and Spec 2 setups. The Spec 1 setup features inlet cam specs of 276 degrees duration, and .433 " lift. The exhaust cam is 256 degrees duration with .413" of lift.

The Spec 2 cams are for the ultimate in top end power. The intake cam features a wild 284 degrees of duration, and .433" lift, while the exhaust cam features 268 degrees duration with .413" lift.

For those going for a custom head setup, NISMO also now offers 2 sets of cam blanks. These billet blanks are for those that want to have a cam ground to their own specs. The first set (Type A) can be ground to a max of 284 degrees if duration and .433" lift. the Type B is for competition use only, and can be ground to a max of 312 degrees of duration and .551 " lift. Type B is special order only.

I am still trying to figure out why the reverse staggered setup for the new cam grinds.....

Spec 1 and Spec 2 cams are special order only.

 

ahhhh no fair!! what about us VQ30 guys??

 

Jeeeeeeeeze...can you believe the prices on that stuff? Daaaaaaaaaaayyyyyymn~!

Interesting stuff though like the VTC gears that add 15-degrees more cam advance, metal headgaskets, and titanium valve setup.

I don't even want to know what ALL that added up would cost.

 

$2000+ for 15-20 hp + labor to install?

$200 for 75+ hp sounds better to me. Naws

 

NOS is the easy to go; but an engine build is much more impressive. But some of the pricing of these mods is prohibitive IMO.

 

Can someone explain the stroker kit to me? Does it replace a part of the engine or is it in addition to what's already there increasing the displacement to 4.3 liters?

 

I believe it's the whole short block, ie block w/sleeves, crank, rods, and pistons.

 

wow.... too bad i cant afford a single item on that list...

 

From bigern1970 on my350Z, original post with pictures at http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthre...threadid=69839

I visited AEBS today to see the pro spec series stroker kit (VQ35DE)

I had to see this in person, I talked to the head mechanic Paulus who actually I remember from back in 92 who was a honda guru.

1. The total cost of the kit is 7,800.00

2. Comes with 9325 custom billet steel crank. used in NHRA
a. the crank was very high qulity(see pic) overall stoke is
90mm(stock is 81mm)
b. according to paulus this bad boy should have no problem
with stock rpm revs in fact with rev limited removed the
engine can safely rev to 9k+ with tuning. Even though it is
a 6cylinder his reason is that the prelude and s2000 stroke
are 91 and 90 mm so that shouldnt be a problem.
3. The rods are x beam with internal oil inlet from the crank up
the beam through the wrist pin to squirt into the bottom piston these rods are made by Pauter

4. The pistons are FORGED,you can expect up to 26 lbs of boost for the 8:5:1 compression. no dyno result yet......(wrist pins&rings included)

5. As for the t sleeves thats where Im really impressed with the quality, although they did not have a VQ block there they did have the sleeves very heavy duty, they did have a nsx block with the t sleeves in it. As for blueprint and machine work he expect about 15 hrs labor at 65.00$ an hour. Me and paulus used to use Ed Hale in lakeside ca, he is know for his excellent machine work on race engines. Unfortunately its race season here and 6 cylinders and 4 cylinders are paper weights until the small block chevys are done. Paulus said the VQ block is are stronger then the supra turbo blocks although they are full floating cylinders
But im sure any good reputable machine shop can do this. I thinking to see what Benson Machine shop charges in the Los Angeles CA area?
My final Verdict is this...........Hi quaility, no doubt. Personally I would love to see someone(with money) do a NA build up with the higher compression 11 or 11.5:1 at a price tag or close to 8k without machine work you would be looking at over 10k+ by the time its ready to turn key. I would like to see HP and Torque numbers in the future, Since im married with kids, I will have to pass and maybe settle for the sc or tt and 6-8 psi.
For those with deep pockets, I wouldnt hesitate , the car is still new and im sure we will see many many avenues of horse power, but if you want somthing different ,,,,,,4.3L VQ sounds NICE!

 

Not sure of the dimensions, but here are some other oil pans:

Interesting oil filter







Newly developed media, incomparable to stock one, provide exceptional filtering efficiency. This new filter paper keeps its shape as it is reinforced 1.5 times and realizes lower pressure loss.

The outer mesh lath supplies equal oil flow. The mesh lath core instead of conventional punched core improves oil flow and helps to lower pressure loss.

Small metallic dust is surprisingly trapped by stronger magnetic force (flux density : 3.000 gauss, adsorption power : 2.4kg). Neodymium magnet excellent in heat resistance demonstrates high magnetic force between -20�Ž and +140�Ž. Micro-abrasive metallic contaminants can be trapped by the �gcenter mount magnet�h system.

Reinforced relief valve prevents overflow of dirty, sticky oil with sludge and metallic dust even at cold start. The silicone leak strap rubber holds oil inside to prevent any oil leakage. The bottom of Mag Power‡U is seamed with nitrile rubber gasket excellent in heat resistance.

Oooh...Bill is going to wackoff on that one.

 

Have you seen this thread??

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....1&page=1&pp=30

Someone is already working on this and its a 3.0L NOT a 3.5L. With a VQ35 crank and connecting rods with the stock 3.0L pistons and heads will in turn make a 3.3L stroker @ 11:1 compression. Now seeing as how the 3.5 in the Z and the Maxima are the same...then the Nismo crank and connecting rods SHOULD work the very same way BigDog's setup is with the stock 3.5 internals. Anyway...i just figured i would ask if any of you guys saw that thread. Pretty awesome discovery for us 3.0L guys!

 

i am taking donations for the stroker kit.........

 

 

You 2k2-2k3 people should more be interested in the HKS supercharger. I bet you could get that in the maxima.

 

Will be interesting to see more information on that as well.

 

Personally, I'm hoping Greddy comes out with a twin turbo setup that can work on the VQ35DE Maxima; that would have to run thousands less than a complete engine buildup. Now THATS my dream mod. $.02

 

Power Enterprise came out with a twin turbo kit for the 350Z's as well, is there no way to modify these to fit a Maxima?

 

I don't think that will fit in a Maxima, your engine is mounted differently than the Z's. That super charger looks like it would go in the same place as the ATI Procharger and Vortech kits for the Z.

 

i really doubt a SC for the 350z will work on a FWD maxima. If it did, it woulda came out already.
