The engine in my car just threw a rod out of the side of the block randomly just cruising one day.

I'm not made of money so I just want to replace it with a used motor. I was looking more into the 2007+ altima engine and it got me interested. HR heads, better intake manifold. Might as well upgrade the car a little bit.

I was wondering if there is anything I would need to worry about when swapping this motor into my car. Any difference on any of the sensor plugs? I would assume it's very similar.

Thanks for any help you guys might have, going to be doing this very soon.

 

the major issues are the same as the 09 max vq.


cam sensors being the biggest.



you can run the 07 altima and have a nice upgrade, im sureee you are tuning with uprev considering you are 6th gen.

 

Yeah, I would be tuning with uprev.

I'm thinking about just dropping in another 6th gen vq35. Seems like the altima swap will be a little too much. lol
