If you wanted to swap a 3.5 into a non nissan platform, and retain VTC and variable intake while dropping nats and simplifying things, how would you do it?

I was thinking maybe
VQ35
3.5 timing with RPM switch
00vi with RPM switch

I've been reading about Fieros and 3.5 swaps lately, It sounds and looks awesome but its also a PITA to do a full swap with NATS ans everything else.

 

something that could be done would be z-fever reflash on 350z ECU and install with harness on the FWD VQ

that could be an option but it would be more expensive

 

why would you want to use an 00vi? it works great on a 3.0 but its just going to be a bottle neck on a 3.5. If the ports on the 3.0 and 3.5 were not different people would be using the 02vi over the 00vi

 

Another thing, haltech now makes a full standalone using the stock 3.5 harness, SurraTT is using on on his 7th gen swap. That would be the best thing to do.
