BTW: will a 4th gen flywheel even bolt up to the 3.5?

Also, Tilley, I would love to come down and see the car maybe in a month or two. I live in Lewistown, which is in Mifflin County...about an hour and a half away from you.
maybe we will have one soon. Maybe SR20DEN should get with me on doing something for 4th gens. I can weld aluminum but im sure he has some good tech ideas?

Well being that he posted in another thread wondering if anyone had 3.5 heads, I'm assuming he's not planning a MEVI, but rather the superior 3.5 VIM. The injectors wouldn't make any performance difference probably, but may be necessary down the road (or not, who knows). Yeah...I can't even imagine what he could accomplish on 15" wheels with slicks...

Keeping the 3.0L wiring like SR20DEN suggested?
Tilley, I don't think you mentioned this, at least not in this thread, and I'm assuming the answer is no, but did you have to modify the engine mounts? I was thinking of buying some poly ones before doing the swap but I'm not sure 4th gen motor mounts would work.

Well last time he said he'd rather swap the whole VQ35 with heads/manifold but use original VQ30 wiring.
Right now I want to buy Cattman headers to go along with the swap but I'm not sure they would fit with 3.5 heads.

You're probably right but I really am not sure how the VQ30DE wiring will work will the entire VQ35DE engine. Apparently the only difference would be no variable timing but it's still unclear how the wiring would fit. Cool if it does, cause simply reclacing the VQ30DE with a complete VQ35DE keeping 5-speed trans, ECU and wiring with minimal hassle would be ideal. Maybe this will be as common as Honda swaps someday

You guys are the best keep up the R&D, it take someone with the ***** to be radical to start a revolution. Just think of it guys if no one put in the effort, we wouldn't even think of a boosted max. I say try all the possibilities and find one that best suits your application. This is something I definately would be interseted in.

I think Tilley just used his old 5-speed manual transmission from his '97 onto the 3.5. If that's the case, it shouldn't be too complicated. Rip whole 3.0 out. Dump whole 3.5 in. It's the wiring that will probably cause my head to rupture violently.

Either way...wiring shouldn't really be a problem, JClaw. I'm a huge supporter of SR20DEN's idea to use all the VQ30 wiring. Honestly, I don't think it would be that complicated, considering all the similarities between the two engines. The only thing is you'd need an RPM switch for the VI, and the MoTeC if you wanted to keep the variable cam timing.
