Well today after some ground problems Krismax's car is up and running.

 

Test drive impressions? At his weight it must pull like there's no tomorrow

What were those ground problems? Today I put the 4th gen wiring harness on the 3.5 and the injector plugs dont fit. I'm gonna cut the injector plugs off the 2002 wiring harness and use them on the 02 injectors to plug to the 95 harness.

 

ECU harness ground in front of IM was in a poor location. it was grounded too fuel rail since the 00VI doesnt have the tab too ground too.

 

Let the fun begin. Any track/dyno events planned? Congrats ... man I wish you dudes weren't so far away .. I'd get this done in a heart beat!! Phuk it maybe I should try it anyway ..

 

damn homie....its about time is this a full 3.5 or hybrid? I assume it has the 00VI? And did you get those Alti headers to fit? I look forward to coming back up to your shop

 

full 3.5 but with 00vi intake manifold. Headers wouldnt work so im gonna mod a crossmember for mine so i can make em work.

 

How was the intall of the IM ... forgive me if this has been discussed as I though it had only been used with 3.0 heads/lower IM.

 

dam i cant wait to drive it ,tilley knows his stuff .

I also have a long 800 mile ACT clutch brake in so i wont know how it feels for a while at least

 

That would suck ***** waiting on the clutch to be happy ... same thing happens with a 5spd sswap .. only this is just madness.

 

I would LOVE to know this as well.

 

My clutch is new as well. It's gonna be granny driving time for a few weeks. At least I'll get used to the car progressively...

 

the inatke manifold installs just like a 3.0 install no diff i have no egr so thats not in the way. its deks lower with rails and injectors and dek upper.
I ported the dek lower so big that it is bigger than the 3.5 intake ports.

 

Expect another 3.5 4th gen next week.

 

Nismo, LMK when you plan to turn the car over for the first time...I wanna be there.

 

Wow hold up! Kris you mean to say that the DEK lower IM will bolt up to the 3.5 heads, and thus the rest of the 00VI manifold would just bolt up with no issues? There was no custom work and it just bolted up? OMG OMG OMG could it be?

 

Yeah Rob what's the deal with the 00VI?

 

The DE-K lower has to be port matched to the 3.5 heads.


THT: I was working on the car tonight, and ran into a few small issues. Nothing major, but it will set me back a few days, but i'll let u know when I plan to start it.

Tilleys99: One question, Is it okay to leave the CVTC solenoid off like this?

The reason I ask is because the rear one seems to get in the way with how I want to mount my IACV..

 

Has there been any dyno testing of the de-k vs the 3.5 mani yet?

OK, yes that would have been required anyways since they are of different shapes, no problem for my dremel . But here's the thing, does the 2k lower intake manifold BOLT up to the 3.5 heads?
That's the money question!

 

Some people around here dont pay attention too anything lmao.

I ran a 13.32 with a 3.5 with 00vi on it. It bolts on and just needs minor mods too work. It needs port matched though.

You either need a block off for the cvtc or you need it there casue it has oil pressure there (it would be a good source for oil for a turbo ).

 

In that pic i actually threaded the holes and plugged it with a bolt.

 

any pics you guys? more and more people join the vq35 4th gen club.

 

Sick...can't wait to see this beast dyno.

ARP rod bolts, VK valves, stock VQ35 cams, and the 8000rpm limiter...

 

sorry alex ,i gave a intake and a exhaust valve to tilley for testing .I only had one of each and none are in my car

but it does have the arp rod bolts ,stock vq 35 cams and a 8000rev limit which that engine prob wont see but i do have the jwt 350z valve springs thanks to you

 

I doubt even the 00 VI is good for 8000 rpm...

 

you would think that but i hit the 8000 fuel cut many times and in the 1/4 i always took first to atleast 7800+, second to 7500-7600 and it always gave me a high 13 doing that.

My 3.5 will def be seeing 7500+

 

Damn....

...with stock VQ35 cams/valves, it will be interesting to see if/where you float.

 

My point is that on a VQ35 you're going to have to pull something amazing to make 8000 worth it. Not saying you can't rev to 8000, just saying it's not worth it. Yeah it's cool to be able to brag about going to 8k, but I think Tilley's 7300 fuel cut is much more reasonable IMO...

 

i ride with tilley in his car sometimes and his fuel cut isnt 7300 ive watched him go over 7500rpm ....and also his fuel cut is 8000rpm to ..............

 

Ah... for some reason I always thought it was 7300.

 

This recent swap uses the full VQ35 setup? or has the VQ30 parts installed in it like the others?

Was just watching Monster Garage. The "Honey Bee" episode. They put a 2004 350Z engine in a 1976 Datsun 210. They had a guy, Naoto Negishi, who set up a ECU to run the engine... But they give no details on what is was, or how he did it. Google for the guy turns up nothing.

I'd love to know how he did it.. Maybe it is eaiser than putting all of the 3.0L parts on the 3.5L engine?

 

Maybe he's running an OBDI. 4th gen wiring is the simplest wiring harness to be able to run a VQ35 so maybe he used that...

 

yeah i saw that episode. i would liek to know more also.

 

searching around it seems that Naoto Negishi works for http://www.dynamicautosports.com/. You could give them a call and find out if its the same person or not. I would but i didnt see that episode.


BTW
Nice going gives me hope when and if i do this.

 

I called, He has not worked there in 2 yrs.

They said he may work for "Blast Racing" now. Cant find a number for them.

Still no phone number though.

 

Chris,

It's too late now, but did you consider swapping in a 2005 Track/Anniversary 7100rpm oil pump for a bit safer life at 7000+rpm?

 

i dont know what stand a lone they used but they switched to cable driven throttle.

 

I am using the stock ECU, nothing else

 

The used an HKS unit VPRO or CONV, I'm not sure.

One of those has a DBW ability, but you're 100% sure they converted to cable?
