3.5 swappers come on in

so i will be doing a 3.5 swap here within a few weeks. for the most part everything seems pretty straight foward. the problem i am having is the TB options.

I know all the options and what not but i would love to see how everyones setup looks like. Im thinking about drilling new holes from a DE-k tb but im still not sure. Im just kinda sceptical about making my own bracket for the tps(I dont have that much metals experince) Plus ive heard that issues may arrive with a flimsy tps support.

So if you have any pictures of your TB setup would you please post them and share. I just want to brainstorm on how i wil do my set-up.

any pictures would be greatly appriciated

thanks

Also how hard is it to make a homemade adapter plate vs re drilling holes.

I just looked over your entire photo gallery. I must say, VERY nice work! That's quite a large project you undertook. I'm in the middle of a 3.5 swap myself in a 92 Maxima.

Yeap. I'm sure I'll love it. I just gotta get it done within the next couple weeks. You can check out my progress by clicking on the link in my signature.

But, the 3.5 in a Sentra seems to be the ultimate swap project though.

Oh, it moves. Let's just say 120MPH comes up a little too quick.
