This is SlamdMax98's car. I did the reversed 4th gen lower IM mod, and a different way to hook up the IACV.

 

Looks good. Must be getting the VI manifold swap down to a science.

 

The install looks clean too.

 

do tell...

 

Most 00vi install have been in white cars, interesting...

 

It's discrimination I tell you. Clearly...

 

I know

 

Curious how the IAVC was hooked up as weel.

 

heres another quick picture for now, ill try to get some more up of the IACV when i get a chance..

 

Looks like Stephen made an adapter to the VIAS box location for the IACV crap, nice~!

Got power valve???

 

anyone know if theres a place to order aluminum for adapters online, or do i have to get the aluminium at a machine shop?

Oh and nice clean work.

 

Glad to see you replaced that piece of blue boost hose with red. Can I have the blue one back?

Icey, I ran out of time before I got the rpm switch hooked up, so that's going to be done next weekend.

 

I need that 00VI! How is the acceleration and over all performance feel. Is it alot smoother? Does it pull alot harder? Hey StephenMax, you could start selling these as kits!

 

^^You got the pulling alot harder part right

 

If u do that, I want to be when u install it!

 

Sweet install! What was the total cost?

 

i got the 00VI for $150 shipped, and then a few other small things here and there...

 

make a write up maybe for this or is ther one that is detailed already somewhere?

 

I must have one!

 

definitely need one for my basic N/A i am goin for

 

So was the total cost less than 300$? 00VI is my next mod & i'm trying to get a solid write up/cost of all parts/list of all parts. thanx jblinga

 

The total cost for me was under $200

 

Not counting labor. I probably put in about $1000 worth of engineering time into this, using the rate I normally charge when I do consulting engineering work, but I gave Matt a discount.


The work that needs to be done depends on which throttle body you use, whether you want IACV and EGR to work, and whether you are using the 4th gen lower IM or the 5th gen lower IM. So there is no comprehensive write up as of yet. Maybe when I retire from my day job I'll write one.

There are a couple of threads that talk in general terms about what has to be done:

I hadn't read that second thread yet. Thanx

 

Maybe we should agree to a "standard" set-up for a standard write-up.
The standard I envision has: 4th gen throttle body, IACV and EGR to work, and the 5th gen lower IM.

How much power gain is there w/ the pathfinder TB?

 

stephenmax u make me a kit to use with 4th gen throttlebody both egr and iacv to work and the 5th gen lower mani ill pay you $450 if its all bolt up if you wanna take me up on my offer PM me on it otherwise if you dont like the price quote me one.

 

Can we get close up pics on the vias box and iacv?

 

I spent 50 bucks on mine

 

We have a $50, do we have a 40? 35? Going once... Going twice...:grin:

 

thats looks great. i wish i knew wtf i was doing when it came to motors.

 

cost me $1200-1500

 

this looks very clean and very nice ! if you paint the spark plug cover black , the whole engine will be stealth and hard to see ! again this looks topnotch !

 

nice man very nice

 

thanks for all the compliments.. im currently trying to decide what scheme i want to go with under there... but right now, ceasar's idea actually sounds pretty good..

 

That looks fantastic.

 

must have this mod

 

well i decided to take ceasar's idea and paint the spark plug cover black... heres the only pic that i have for now, i'll try to get some better ones tomorrow afternoon..

 

You should get a stock 5th gen cover and impersonate now that you've got the DEK!
