Congrats man, very nice. You're done and I ain't even start LOL.

 

quit teasing me man.


or i might have to go out and sell all my 00vi stuff and get one of those bad boys

i dont know a whole lot of whats involved in a 3.5 swap so bare with me

but why so much for the timing equip??

 

lol hey i have a cracked engine cover just like you lol

 

lol man so far iam loving it it pulls up top way more than a 00vi would lol

 

looks good dude! with your drive and determination to improve your car it's almost scary to think how much more stuff you'd have done to it if you'd been able to put the 3.5 in back when you were putting the DE-K in. I haven't seen your car before and i didn't see it in the thread.. are you 5spd or 6spd with this? I guess the VQ30DE(K) 5spd bolts right up to the 3.5 block doesn't it (i'm not a VQ guy)

 

Good job until I saw that horrible intake. Get rid of that ASAP.

 

I gotta get me one of those brackets

 

I liking the throttle braket

but jean if your not going to use the mid pipe I'll buy it

 

Yea its real nice... Did you make it yourself jean?

 

congrats on the swap!

what FPR are you using?

 

thanks man its gonna be alot quicker hopefully, and yes iam a 5spd non-lsd and it does bolt right up the the 3.5 block

 

i kinda like my intake so it stays for now

 

tom made it

 

ebay but think i have to get another one

 

hmmm ill let you kno

 

why is that?

 

hummmmmm...... swap looks good. any dyno's yet?

 

because its not letting me lower down my fp but it used to so idk if the regulator is going bad

 

thanks and no not yet

 

i noticed that. but hey who cares, the motor runs good.

 

Good that you like it, but just to let you know it will be sucking in a lot of hot air

 

BTW you should sell some of those tb brackets
if i did the swap with a pathy tb, I would def buy one

 

nice I like the TB bracket also

 

+1... i made mine with alot of hard work but thats a nice one! congrats on the swap and let us know about those cable brackets

 

ok for all those intrested in the TB cable brackets PM:

t6378tp

he's the one who made mine and we talked and he agreed to make some and see how they sell
