Google?

Also check out the Sentra forums, there's a lot of good info just waiting for you to search for it.

Glad to see you taking your project to the next level..

Kevin's car was one of our original VQ swaps, years ago.. and, still going strong!

Good luck, and you/chris hit me up if you need help.

i have about 6000 miles and over 60 track runs with pretty much the same set up.
no engine probs at all

i imagine you are getting impatient
they seem to take forever
but, then its suddenly done, and you will enjoy it for years to come

enjoy it

I’m thinking of running the nismo 145* thermostat
And maybe a better radiatior

The real prob was too much timing advance for the heat [0ver 100* and humid]
Should have used unleaded race gas too

I switched to iridium plugs one heat range colder
and added some Amsoil octane booster
Looking for an e85 gas station here too

hard lessons
thankfully learned

can't wait to see ,and hear your beast
i think you will love it

its a different car, again. lol

A buddy of mine is selling a Pro EFI for a z33 ,

Not sure if you heard of our standalone either
http://www.emeraldm3d.com/em_m3dk.html

We have a customer with a VQ S14 that is wired up to the Standalone as well.

I heard Roger at Japtrix is pretty good with the VQs

I would give my buddy Crispeed ,( if its a haltech) or Steven @ Wrighttouch

PM me if you need their #'s

As for the nigel thing, I guess its a 50/50 , I went with school with MTR Manic , He has never done me wrong but Ive heard other stories.

Again Im not bashing on anyone nor bias because I work at a shop.

your project is looking good, not sure if you know Aaron is doing a mini meet on the 29th next week in WPB.

I hope to have my car back to make it out there so maybe we will cross paths

They are made using factory blanks, as with all other JWT cams.

Looks like it's coming together well. Quick question though...why's the inner timing cover on before the heads?
