Im planning on doing a all motor 4th gen once I find a parted out, or wrecked donor car. engine will be 3.5 with 11.5to1 pistons (cp) giving it a 13to1 comp, and 3.0 ported heads with 3.5 valves (larger) intake manifold is in the process and will be tested out on my turbo street car soon. also Q45 TB which I have sitting here waiting for testing. So what does everyone think of this? I figure between weight reduction and power I should be able to do low 12s. I have a possible 97 wreck pending.

 

That would be the **** but remember keep it street driven thats where the fun part of it is realized

 

DOOOOOOOOOO it~!

Better throw a J&S in that bish.

 

woooooooooooooooow keep us posted with pics when done

 

Im still trying to find a donor car so it may be next spring till its happening.

 

I would love to see an all motor beast

 

Geterdone Tilley....and that Q45 throttle body is HUGE, i could prob get my fist thru it

Tilley - Any year ok? I'll keep my eye out for you. there a 95-96 sitting right beside TK, I think they want around 3500 for it tho....

 

I prefer a very cheap wreck cause I own a body/performance shop I dont care if its a rolling chassis cause I need no interior or wiring or motor. all I need is brakes suspension and doors,trunk lid, hood, fenders, and bumpers

 

sweet, good luck
since you own a shop will these become commercially available to org memebers if they desire to have a built engine?

 

i think it will be a lot sooner than that

 

I hope Im ready to strip it down

I got a 97 pending thanks to mecca

 

You ain't joking!

This is a 60mm VE throttle body compared to a q45 TB.

 

wow, nice comparo!

 

how much bigger is the q45 TB than the pathfinder one?


and I would love to see an all motor 4th gen beast!

 

Isn't the Pathy TB 70mm? The source of the picture I showed you came from a friend that said he measured the q45 TB plate at 83mm. Pretty insanely big huh?

 

hey.... i took that picture... If anyone wants a Q45 TB i got one for sale.

Q45 TB

Good luck with the project!

Yeap. Thanks for the pic. But hosted it for ya. lol

 

Holy **** that's huge.....

 

Would installing that be any different than installing a PF TB? It's like 30% bigger than stock!!
And yes, an all motor beast would be so damn cool. I bet it would sound bad-****.

 

At 83 mm, there's no way you could port match the throat of the oem intake manifold to the throttle body. You can barely do it with the Pathfinder throttle body. So to realize any gains with the Q45 TB, you're going to need a custom intake manifold.

Speaking of which, the VG30DETT lower intake manifold has ports that are like 20-30% larger than the VQ30. I don't know about the NA intake manifold, except from what I hear, the NA Z32 has a better top end than the Maxima.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is maybe a redesigned intake manifold could really help us out at high rpm.

 

Exactly right! You'd definitely need a different intake manifold. Honestly, that's a little too big for the performance I need. I am scared to go with a 70mm PF TB. That's big enough.

 

just wait. i'll have a PF TB that'll bolt directly onto my stock manifold. but i'll probably have it chromed or polished before i post any pictures.

 

I am currently workin on a sheet metal intake manifold so thats no problem. BTW im looking for a PF tb.
