So has anyone done a writeup on installing a '00 VI on a 4th gen? I hope that someone has because I can work on engines, I just dont know how to do something like that.

I wish someone had one, I want to do this when I get back from China, Ive been dying to work on my car!

 

It's basicly taking off upper and lower IM's and swapping. Wire the new injector connectors--not hard only 2 wires per connector. Figure out which vaccum lines you need to plug up and use.

 

It's hard to do a single write-up with all the different directions you can go with TB, EGR, etc.

That's more info than I had when swapping mine.

 

Wait so kevlo & Bswith, the egr would just be put back on nicley or does that require 3-4 ****** in your @ss, If I do it I still want the EGR, in fact i was planning on spray painting it silver so no one can tell.

 

^^^ Not the egr the manifold

 

You can keep your EGR if you want. I used the 5th gen IACV which is mounted on the bottom of the 5th gen TB so it got in the way of the EGR, so I removed mine. If you use the 4th gen TB(have to make an adapter) or the 5th gen TB(no adapter) and make an adapter plate for the 4th gen IACV, EGR is no problem. Just have to swap the pipe that goes from the manifold to the EGR valve.

 

Yup he is right, I am using hte EGR and 4th gen TB.

 

So do you think I would be able to do it?, or would I blow up my car and half the block with it?
lol, so if I use the 5th gen EGR, all I have to do is swap that pipe. sound like that part would be easy. The 00vi just bolts on like the normal vi, right, other than fuel rail??? I need a harlan switch to? or is that not requried?

 

You still use the 4th gen EGR system, you just swap that one pipe. On a stock 4th gen it's the pipe that goes from the EGR valve to the back of the intake manifold. The 5th gen EGR valve is electronic while the 4th gen one is controlled by vacuum. It's is very easy to do.

I can't imagine any way of blowing the car up during this swap. It can seem a little overwhelming at first but as you get further into the swap things will fall into place and it'll all make sense in the end. (Hopefully)

 

doesnt anyone have pics of doing this? so we all know whats going on? is there a parts likst then somwhere...say i were to get the 00vi w/ 5th gen throttlebody what else do i need for parts? the "hose" for the EGR or is that not needed? can it be just take off old put on the new?

 

hahaha, og's dont need pics, But i think they would be helpfull, I think whenever someone does this swap they are too nervous and completley forget about pix

 

OG's? You haven't even been here 2 years.

 

lol________________

 

Actually ive been here for a little over 2 years, got banned once though. Haha

 

Can someone than get a parts list made up so this can be easier to attain and install?! That would rock! A lot of members are interested in this project but need some extra help in terms of what to get and where to start...and, do we need a Harlan switch to do this?! Thanks in advance!

 

Yeah definatley, I need a list also,

 

00 Upper and Lower manifolds w/ injectors and bolts
Injector connectors that fit(00+, 350z, Altima 3.5, pathy, ect...)
*00TB
*4th gen TB with custom adapterplate
*pathy TB with custom adapterplate
*EGR guide tube
6ft of 5.16in Fuel hose
Fuel line hose clamps
10ft of 3.5mm vaccum hose
10mm L shaped Nipple
RPM switch


Whoever can add to the list, do so.
