VQ35 internals in VQ30 makes VQ33 stroker, bolt on! PICS!
You guys are welcome to donate to the fund to help me get started on this sooner. 
Ill probably start this sometime in july, or maybe even june if I have the money sooner. Ill keep you guys updated, and yes, I will be taking alot of pics of the swap, so you wont miss anything.

Most likely it will be 11.5:1, there are alot of factory cars out there running that high of compression, it just requires higher octane fuel. I'll make it work.

too much money? you gotta pay to play. no sense in getting cheap when it comes to building a motor.

so does the engine run? and i doubt that it will still produce more power then my 2k bottom end with 96 intake manifold. here u are using some vq35 parts while i am using all 2k vq30 parts except the intake manifold. man i have to dyno my car.

Your car will not make more than 200hp at the crank w/o mods.
Your dyno's will be close, if not hte same, to a 4th gen with hte same mods

This is a great find and seems to be a great mod for the maxima but is it really worth it?
This was just sparked by seeing the word stroker. It reminded me of the real hotrods my buddies used to have with 302's, 350's and 400's.
My point is, this project or mod will be so costly and time consuming with such a minimal improvement. Or at least I think it would be.
I guess im just kinda suprised to see the maxima worked this hard. In my eyes its not the drag racing hot rod that this mod is worthy of. I guess I have a little gearhead bias still in me.
PS like i said i dont want to be a ****er. This is great find and what seems to be a great mod for the maxima.

Well? No pics? Did you do the test fit?

Later today I'll see if the VG30DE crank will fit in the VE. Still, it's a pain because the VE was only produced for 3 years and the only real options so far seem to be using 300zx pistons/rods.
it still owns you 
I'll post pics of VG30DE vs VE30DE cranks when I get my camera back. (hopefully tonight)

I'm done now everyone have fun with their projects.
You guys need to chill the hell out. It's funny how when something interesting comes along you people are quick to jump on the bandwagon. When it comes to actually getting down to it and doing the work, most of you chickensh1t out and complain to the originator of the idea/innovation. If you're going to be that way then why don't you guys just do your own work? Hell, most of you don't know anything about Dixit...so how can any of you judge him or press him for info that you're too lazy to find yourselves? Alright...enough ranting. Continue on...nothing to see here.

damn, calm down guys. give them a break. youre not funding their research, so they can take 20 years if they please.
now, to my question: arent the FWD and RWD blocks different? will the motor mounts, and accessories bolt on? sorry if this is already known, but im a veteren SR20 guy.

alright, i guess i need to clarify this for you....
do the motor mounts/accessories from a RWD VQ mount the same as on a FWD VQ? you guys are talking about getting pathfinder blocks, but i question its ability to bolt into an FF chassis.

Its not like this project is the only thing you have to worry about. There is something called real life as well Igor, why dont your just take it easy for now. Dont ask questions til you read from the 1st post. This is quite entertaining, but let this thread sink. The only person that should post next is Dixit. Thats when he's ready to make the update, you all have a subscription to this thread & will know when the update is here....
hell if i had an extra vq30 sitting around i think i'd have figured out if it runs or not by now... we should all pool together some money and buy that engine that chris's dad has sitting in his shop 
i'll throw down like $200 for the project right now. only question is where to get some vq35 internals for cheap...

He is a busy man, as am I. I too have the resources ect... to do something like this but I dont have the time, Plain & simple.As for pooling money
just trust me on that 1. Why dont you hold on to your $200 for the time being. Let the man do his thing, we will find out the answer sooner or later. Cheap? well you'd be better off just picking up the whole long block.
