You can check out my n/a dyno to compare
here is another when i went FI but still gives an idea of the curve with auto and 00vi. you can see the hp stay almost at peak till the end. gotta find other dyno graphs but the hp curve actually keeps going and stays up there till 6500.

yes, and I have the formula that DJ uses written down, I'm just not good enough with math to want to bother figuring out what say a 10* temp difference makes on the cf.
Either way I have bad news
Don't expect another dyno of an SSIM version anytime in the near future. On a positive note I'm still working on obtaining the secret VI so expect something else soon that might blow everything out of the water.

So kev you are too busy to work on my car because you are developing a secret sauce intake manifold. I would have donated my car for the work. Anyway congrats and give me a call about some injector work.

This was one of my vehicles that Kevin takes care of for me. I just picked up the car, and am impressed beyond words. The extra 30HP he made for me feels great--and is night and day over what it used to be.
We decided not to try the smim because it is not reversable, and if it looses power, it will cost a fortune to get another intake manifold. We are going to wait until we can find a cheap 3.5 intake manifold to use as a core, and we'll go back to the dyno and try Kevin's smim mod too.
The car as is "feels" much faster than my I35. On the way home the wife (in our I35) and I were side by side on the highway, and we both punched it at 50mph--and ran to 80. The 3.0 was ~2 car lengths ahead when I hit 80.
He does exceptional work, and even painted the intake to match my car---everything looks great!
Thanks again for everything Kevin!

This interesting. Patiently waiting. 3.5 SSIM on my motor would be a great addition if everything goes as planned. I have a spare complete 00VI lying around, Maybe time to locate a 02VI myself and do some playing over the winter.

I have a vq35 gen LIM for sale if your interested.

ill try the 3.0 LIM spacer to 3.5UIM way. And try to figure the fitment issue between back coilpacks and the space for the upper to fit. The back coilpacks fitment like the way it is on your setup scares me a bit too much to try on my car. ill take measurements first. It interests me enough to think about a better way, though..Thumbs up!!
but why going to a returnless setup?? not enough vacuum sources or??

Car got parted out, all of the parts for this swap are going in the classifieds this weekend. Good for 3.5 swaps also.
Aeromotive afpr w/all fittings, no gauge (Well you can have the bad gauge)
Rear coil-packs/plug wire.
Lower, injectors, inj. connectors.
Upper manifold w/following:
Converted cable/tps 3.5 throttle body
Throttle cable bracket
EGR, yes EGR, had a fully functioning EGR system on this car for the past few months, everything included to have EGR on your '02 mani'd or swapped 4th gen
SSIM'd W/ Polished NWP plate
IACV & Adaptor W/huge 5/8" fitting
New LIM gaskets
Several Upper IM gaskets
Misc. hoses
K&N filter
You'll still need to hack up your maf, cut down your rear valve cover, extend your wires, portmatch the heads & LIM gaskets, and figure out other stupid little stuff like hoses etc.
$450 shipped FIRM

Damn that is intense.
I wish I had all these parts together. Someone needs to make a sheetmetal IM for the VQ30. Single stage, huge plenum, slightly fatter + shorter runners (somewhere between the 00VI runner sizes)...

If you dont want the leak, but dont have spacers, you can just grind down the middle coil pack hump on the dek valve cover and also grind down the part of the IM where the elbow and manifold join. Use the front coilpacks for this also. You might have to extend the coilpack harness since you have an A32 by the way.
Also note the lengths of the coilpack stems, you might have to swap some around. Good luck

3.5 valve cover makes this basically plug and play. But your gonna have a small oil leak in the back by the timing side of the motor with the 3.5 rear valve cover. With a set of aarons spacers and front coilpacks for the rear, the IM should just clear the dek valve cover... You can try some JB stick for the leak.

the coilpack stems now that u mention it im going to look into.

Alot of material has to come off, but its mostly at the top of the port, the VQ30 has a much wider intake port compared to the VQ35, when i look at it actually i think the VQ30 ports are larger than the VQ35, surprise surprise. I'll have to get some pics up.

We knew that from when krismax was doing the opposite.

I think he put something like 233 down with the gutted 00VI at or near redline (7k for him) w/an A32 ECU/3.5 ... no one ever pursued it, but IMO, the design of the 00VI > 02+VIAS, it was just the port matching that had us.

btw can somebody confirm this, im not calling anybody out but i think its BS, somebody with a DEK, rev-up cams, and the normal bolt-on BS said they made 240whp or something like that, anybody know of that?

we'll see how much i can put down with this setup, although cams are probably in my favor.
