The major (power) limiting factor to the 2k2/2k3 VQ 35 is the intake manifold. In fact, it is the only major difference between the engines of the Z and the max. From What I've heard, you guys have a better flowing intake plenum.

I'm still collecting info on this, but what I'm asking for is someone willing to let us swap out our intake manifold for yours for a few hours. We need to see first, if it fits, then if the computer responds well to it. Then finally, if it makes more power.

This is a rather large project, and I don't know if it would void the warranty. I doubt that any Nissan dealer would ever know the difference once you're swapped back.

If you can do this, please post your location so we can find someone in your area to get this done.

For now this plan is wishy washy, but details will obviously be hammered out and agreed upon between the participating parties.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

 

I doubt anyone would want to use their new car as a donor....lol
They would have to be a DIE HARD enthusist!!

Any Volenteers...

 

Die Hards are just who we're looking for.

YEA right........ brand new car and you want someone to let you take apart the engine.. good luck

 

Well as it stands now, all I see is opposition (and from gen V guys...)

Fine, I'll work on an incentive to do it.

[B]Your right man no ones going to give up their new Max to possibly be disected! Go rent one from Enterprise and try it!

 

'cept they might miss their car too much and want their intake manifold back!

 

I thought of renting, but just found out that the part number's are the same for the two manifolds. I guess I have to figure somthinig else out.

 

if this could work, I'd buy a 2k2-2k3 in a heart beat...the biggest problem is that getting a 6sp is almost impossible, almost every dealer in the area doesn' have a 6-sp....even if you don't get someone now, a year or so down the road you'll probably find someone.
