Okay so this week I will be performing the following.
My DEK ported/polished/valvejobbed heads on top of a mildly built VQ35 block, using the following bits:

• S1 knockoff cams/HR valvetrain
• ARP headstuds (VQ35DE)
• 3.0 timing/ECU
• SSIM portmatched, NWP spacers, PFTB, 82mm MAF (for now)

Questions:
Anything else I should look out for that are specific to this type of build?
Approx compression ratio?
What kind of AFR/timing #s should be shooting for?
The other typical 3.5 swap will be taken care of, but if anyone else has any tips I will be glad to listen to them.

 

rev-up oil pump and rod bolts?

Interesting change of mind.... a couple months ago you were hating on the 3.5 swap

 

Got both of them.

And I wanted to try it.

 

Question:

I'm not able to fit the VQ35 LIM/UIM on this setup, because the plenum is hitting the coilpacks. It barely clears the rear valve cover (5th gen).

What valve cover should I be using so I can put my SSIM on there?

 

You have to use your IM in order to use the 3.0l valve covers.

 

you need to use VQ35 rear valve cover and coil packs,might as well do the front one

 

Doo eet! Working coilpacks ftw! lol

 

Won't this cause leaks though?

 

Hi compression like 12.5-1 my boy here has it done get alot of tq motor made for nos....but my bro with 30 timing 35 swap pulls him every time

 

whats your power goals?
