I have a 2000 Canadian motor I'm taking parts from. All Canadian cars are FED spec, and mine has an EGR guide tube, and swirl/swivel valve.

 

What holes? Do you have a pic?

 

I don't see anywhere in the 2000FSM where it talks about the EGR system, not even in the ECU pinout.

 

Just search the EC-section for EGR or swirl.

 

You sure you don't mean all Canadian cars are Cali spec?

I know at least all 2001s are Cali spec.

 

I thought you were the one who said FED specs didn't have the swirl valves or was that on your 4th gen?

 

I have a FED spec lower w/o swirl vavles, krismax had FED spec 00 w/ swirl vavles. All 99's had swirl vavle, FED and CALI.

 

Again, at least from the 2000/2001 FSMs I have only Cali-spec 2000s and all 2001s have swirl valves.

 

So is removing this valve the only solution? How hard is that?

 

Remove the screws on the butterflys, theres 2 screws that goes into the rod that you must take off, and it _SHOULD_ slide out, (mine didnt, I cut it into peices and got it out....)


Then you have the fill the holes on the side of the manifold so you wont have a leak there.

 

DAVEB has one of the last production date 2000 FED specs and he just verified he has no swirl valves in his LIM.

So, unless someone can 100% say they have a 2000 FED spec LIM with swirl valves, I'm still skeptical.

krismax...how did you know the two LIMs w/swirl valves you've had were from a FED spec vehicle?

 

Interesting, 00-02 Have EGR vavles and 95-01 have same rear header so that means that it prob has the long EGR tube. It is just how the the guide tube is setup that is different I suppose.

 

Thanks, make a lot more sense now with the pics

Hopefully mine'll slide out

 

Only the 2000's have an EGR valve. 2001-2002 don't have EGR at all.

 

2001s do not have EGR...actually 2001-2003 do not have EGR.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Under the nissan parts websites, they list EGR vavle for the 00-02. And teh same rear manifold for the 95-01. So I guess the rear header just has a bolt to cover up the egr?

 

I've heard of an EGR bolt, but not sure if that's what was meant.

What "nissan parts website"?

Search those 2 part numbers on this site:

It will list all apps.

 

Okay...that's what I figured.

Just FYI, I find errors with those ALL the time. The Nissan FAST CD is the most reliable, but even it has revisions.

If you need to know 100% for sure, call DAVEB. He knows all.

 

I still haven't figured out how to use hte FAST cd yet

Either way it doesn't bother me at all, I dont own either of those Maximas and I got the good manifold combo

 

The FAST software doesn't like my VIN# for whatever reason Anyone else experience this?

 

Nope, whats your VIN# and i'll give it a try

 

Do you guys use CD1 or CD2?

 

I only used CD1

 

What is this fuel fitting I've seen on a few peoples fuel rails who used the A33 LIM and fuel rail? Is the fuel rail, injectors, and harnesses not all you need for the fuel rail change?

Thanks. Stupid question, but what is the point of this, to connect the fuel rail to the fuel lines? Can someone explain this. Sorry for my stupidity.

Mooney

 

yes..

That's to remove the fuel damper, you dont NEED to remove it to get it started, im running with it on still.

 

The DE-K rail has a damper on that end which is not necessary with the 4th gen setup. That fitting replaces it.

EDIT: doh.. 3 replies at once...

 

I'm running w/ the damper on still too.

 

I have to correct myself....

I don't know WHERE I was feeling or why the 2001 FSM doesn't even have an EGR section, but Friday when I was changing my oil from underneath, I clearly saw that I do indeed have an EGR tube that connects behind the throttle-body below the manifold on my 2001.

VERRRRRY sorry for the misinformation.

I give up on figuring this whole EGR/swirl valve answer out.

 

OK I am doing it provided I can find an upper and someone to install it in the ATL metro. The only question I have is will I be able to use my PR CAI on the 5th gen TB and still have it fit down the drilled hole? I have never seen a pic of it ... only of a short RAM/HAI.
My common sense says no because the inlet of the A33 TB is larger but I suppose it is all dependent on the rubber coupler.
To sum up my plan ... (A32 Lower, IACV, EGR) + (A33 Upper and TB) + Adaptor plate from A32 TB to A33 IACV.

Please help a brother noob out

 

I got my PR CAI to fit on th e5th gen TB...

all I gotta say is it took a freakin while to make it fit, make sure u got good clamps because you really need to tighten it down so it doesnt come off... i'll take a pic for you later.

 

i got my OSCAI to fit. I just like the stock resonator.

 

is there a write up for the 00vi install or am i on my own? haha i think i know the answer but its worth a try

 

you're on your own,theres too many different setups to have a writeup :\

It's not that difficult to figure out once you get into it.

 

lol thats what i was afraid of. Have you installed one? In looking for a est. time my car will be down. Can it be down in a weekend?

 

Yes sir, dont do it alone tho, if you have everything planned out you could get it done in one day, if not might take you a weekend...

Mine took a weekend because of grinding down the coil pack towers, and what actually took teh longest was figureing out how to put the PCV valve, wasted a few good hours with that...

Soldiering the new injector plugs takes a while too.
