hey guys, i'm shopping around for a 4th gen to put a 3.5 into. The problem is i'm not lookign to spend alot and the 95's are the cheapest. I know that 96 and up used the obd to test emissions and the 95 use that dyno machine thingy. Will i pass the emissions test if i put in a 3.5? Need to know this before i go out and buy a car. thanks!!!

 

My knowledge is limited on this topic, but your best bet might be to get a 2002 VQ35 because that model uses the exhaust cams rather than EGR to control emissions, so you don't have to worry about having to lose EGR. Slap a good catalytic converter on that and you might be set.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

 

buy a 96 max 5-speed, then do the 3.5L swap, passing the obd2 is alot simpler than passing the tailpipe breathalyzer.

 

Tilley is in the process of doing a 3.5 swap on my 95 Maxima, I'm not due for inspection for another year. However, would there be a problem for emissions with 3.0 headers, budget ypipe and the rest is stock?

 

from what i know, you should pass emission if you have the primary cat on there. You have to let the car warm up and it'll pass emissions.

 

Hey Ovias how much is he charging u 4 the swap? Whas the total price of the swap? Lemme know how it runs and if its worth it.

 

With a OBDII you have to plug in the OBDII port but from what I heard if you have a CEL, its an auto fail. With out EGR, it trips on the CEL so ???
