any one think puttin a 3.7 liter in the max with the sfr turbo kit would be worth the cash.. reason i ask is because a salvage yard down buy my house has a wrecked g37s and said i could have ecu and motor for 5500. and the sfr kit is 5000 grand so looking at about 10000 for parts probably more cuz of the lil b.s items.. i.d.k just wanted to see what kind of response this would get if any at all lol

 

What makes you think that a FWD tranny will bolt up or even fit? No.

 

If you have $10K+ to waste, use it as a down payment, and trade your Max in for a used M45 or 09 Max ...

I don't understand your thought process on this one!!

 

No comment

 

see the negativity here. if you only new the the 3.7 liter is basically the same block as a 3.5 wich means that yes it should bolt up if i was informed correctly this was just an idea.. and nah the 09 max is garbage but them m could be something to talk about

 

the thought process was that id have the only 3.7 liter turbo in a 6th gen... idk if it gunna be all negative feedback screw it ill do some research and be the one to say you guys i told ya so lol who no's i just thought it would perhaps be something to consider thats all

 

if you got the cash to do it, go for it. having 400+ whp is useless in a fwd drive car, why not sell the max, pick up a 370z, and with just i/e/h/ecu you have a 12 sec car..that reliable

 

IBTL.

 

If you need any ideas talk to chernmax. He has the only turbo in a 6th gen. He also received negative reply's. If you feel that you have the money and desire to do it go for it.

 

Umm ok so say you do drop the motor in , how do you compensate on the ECU , sensors , How are you going to make the CVTC work ?

Are you aware its a HR motor has a Higher Compression than the Normal DE ?

Are you also aware purchasing the SFR kit that doesnt mean thats all your spending ?

How are you going to run the intake manifold ? run ITBs ?

And where do you form your opinion that the 09 is garbage?

What is your goal ? trying to do something that no one has done?
or is your goal is to make power?

Before you throw away your money or dreams , do some research, the VQ35 can easily make as much power is a HR , Dont need a High Reving Turbo motor for a daily driver.

And if your going to say " I told you so " please dont be like the guy that has a SuperCharger in his 6th gen and has no proof.

We will bring the PitchForks

 

The blocks have different mounting points for the motor as well...

 

I would spend the money on something useful.

Like more education.

 

/\ /\ /\ /\ - Agreed!

If you have 15K - 20K to spend on this project, go for it...... Maybe your a senior super mechanic and know how to do all of the above stuff already.....

So if all of these comments are negative for you! Then go cry to your mom! Its reality...... If you make serious bank and can afford do to this, then do it!

 

In his defense, I think he is throwing the idea out and I wouldnt rule it out just yet.

 

Spend that $10k to buy another car or Nissan cube.
At least that will be handy car when your maxima face some repair work.
If that still does not work, just paypal your $$$ to me.

 

llok at that a few people that arent negative about someone idea.. nzmo101 dues has answered your question in the exact way i would of.. i dont think you understand just like the 3.0 is the same block as the 3.5 so is the 3.7 whats done inside them has nothing to do with wether itll bolt up and as for the ecu did u not read the 3.7 would come with the ecu and complete harness.. to the people that didnt bomb on my idea i thankyou. to the others take a walk we dont need your dumb comments.. ill do my research and see what i can come up with and another thing if you actually read.. youd see i accounted for the other costs than just the motor and turbo kit.

 

and 1st things 1st nissan didnt offer the new max in manual so imo it is garbage wether the car is actually garbage is irrelevant

 

im sure there are ways around everything, just gonna take money and time. i know a lot of people didnt think a 3.5 could fit in a 4th gen max, or even a sentra, now its like the norm. its just a new idea, and something that would take a lot of time, and money. is it practical, or worth it?, prolly not, 'cause for less you can turbo the motor you have in your car now and get a lot of power. your gonna always get negative feedback when you come up with a new idea that seems too farfetched. sometimes it seems there are a lot of pi$$ed off teenagers who are failing high school, so they come on here and try to vent their anger.

 

lmao i kinda figured people were upset becuz in the end theyll know it was my idea so when it becomes the norm puttin 3.7's in everything. they can remember me

 

Even if you did do it, the tranny would melt.

 

so say the tranny did melt how did you come up with that assumption..... whats the diffrence between a 3.5 running 400hp and a 3.7 runnin 400hp... i would have to disagree i belive with a nice clutch the tranny should be ok.... as for the l.s.d that probably another story[e=Oolatec;6968364]Even if you did do it, the tranny would melt.[/quote]

 

Yeah... I do know you have a 6 speed... and that there haven't been nearly as many problems compared to the automatics...

400hp... well, in a FWD car, like has been said already... pretty pointless IMO.

The 6th Gen just wasn't built to handle that kind of power.

 

i def agree with you.. but come on i mean alot of the cars people have running serious power werent intended for that pupose either...but for what its worth i get what alot of you are saying. but thats why we calling it modifying..

 

There is reason why certain things are unique...because they are not practical at all.

Producing in excess of 300 HP on a non limited slip, non equal length half shafts, front wheel drive car is just plain silly if you're spending good money.

And that's why you'd be the first and last one to spend 10K to toss in a 3.7 turbo charged engine into a Maxima. And trust me on this one-absolutely nobody would be jealous. They would just wonder why didn't you just start with a different rear wheel drive car hopefully with a limited slip rear end.

Then there are the transmission issues...

 

ok so shows how much you know cuz i def know for a fact that my car has a hlsd and id be hapy to get the part number for the lsd from nissan..... and who said any1 would be jealous....

 

anyway this thread is going no were all im doing is defending my idea and thats not what i was looking for i was just tryin to get some input...... Close this thread

 

I stand corrected. You're right. Go for it. Great idea!!!

 

If you have the money, I think it would be more worth it to tear down your VQ35 and fully build it to handle boost and turbo it.

There is no FWD version of the VQ37 to date and it will require a lot of modification to get it to fit and mount and work in your car, all of which is money spent that could be put to better use, such as a turbo and/or building your VQ35 to handle it. IMO that is a much more beneficial use of money (in terms of the power you can get from it) than messing around with attempting to swap a RWD VQ into a FWD car.

 

Wow, a even better idea.

 

there we go some constructive critisism,as for coolmax 05 if you dnt like what your reading then skip my thread... but you seem to keep on coming back hahaha pretty funny coolmax05 on left->me on the right hahah

 

One thing, you cant put that engine in a fwd car (remember the thread showing the difference between a rwd engine a fwd engine?) and also there will be no point, just turbo your engine if you want more hp.

 

You newbs come on here posting after doing absolutely ZERO research on your own, and then you wonder why everyone jumps on your case? WTF is wrong with you?
