VQ35 in Sentra.. off to the dyno..
2003 Sentra SE-R, with a 2002 VQ35 from a Maxima.. and Spec V trans (with VQ bell housing) with the following mods..
Stone Racing headers/y-pipe for a 95-99 Maxima
2.5" exhaust with JIC Ti muffler
AEM Sentra CAI (modified for VQ)
This setup yielded 238whp, on a 91* day, with a hot engine (208* water temp)
This was on the "Dyno-Go" mobile dyno, at Nopi..
Discuss?

I can't.. the idiots on the dyno wouldn't give us anything else..
The CAI is 3"..
What all goes into modding the 5.5-6th gen intake manifold? Since I can't really search on this site, I'm not sure what it's all about..

Remove vi stuff and grind some retristive parts out. I am told you can see it when you open it.

haha yes I meant sentra. I can't tell you how many times I have watched the Sentra video of the dude before he got the tach fixed. He drills the **** out of 2nd gear. I literally just keep playing back when he does it for like a minute straight. I love it ... I wish I could chirp 2nd in my max. I can dump first like it is no one's business, but I cannot break 2nd if I was getting paid to do it.

Enjoy..
This is the same car that I posted the dyno chart of, up top.. it went 12.95 @ 104mph on 22x8 slicks.. I couldn't get better than a 1.85 60ft out of those tires..

I'm waiting on the intake manifold to be TIG'd, and I'll be able to start on the intercooler plumbing. The guy that does all of my aluminum TIG work crashed his bike a few weeks ago.. and hurt himself pretty bad.. Hopefully, he'll be back on his feet here soon, and I can get this damn car finished!

It might seem like more than what you would want to spend.. but, it's a LOT of work.. the wiring alone is mind boggling.. as well as the immobilizer system. We retain the 2k2+ harness and ECU, so that the CVTC and e-gas pedal can be used.
