Been a hellacious couple of months and really just got irritated when the level ten trans locked up in 2d gear during my commute from work seriously...an hour and half drive normally at 47mph is horrible...

Needless to say i having grenaded what I was determined would be the LAST AUTOMATIC in my maxima decided to step into the swap.
This begat
which as soon as i got the 6spd running turned into



After running around on this for about a month, a deal presented itself so i am currently knee deep in the middle of this....




So a few more updates coming...as i work through the bugs


Big props to #PopsGarage for the motor prep, and the install

 

nice

 

thx

 

5.7 gen taking over.

 

oooooowwwweeeeeeeeeee

 

This is the future for the maxima once them engines price drop those things cost unless a very good deal,know all We missing is a Full 4thgen 5.7 swap to add to the list.
Good work Man on getting it Done.
Is it finish ?show some more.

 

Someone in CANADA has to do this ASAP

 

Sweet! The more 5.7 gens we get the better we can debug this setup. Keep up the good work!

Darren, does this make #3? I'm not even sure if I was the second one to do this swap...

 

Makes # 5 or 6 some are just not public known.

and there are a few sentras swapped too

 

ITs up and running. Only issue was the wrong gasket for teh filler neck. smh. needless to say the grey poromeric that they sell at nissan for oil pans made a beautiful gasket until the proper one comes in. other than that. perfect first start attempt and all the way to first test drive.

big difference.

 

Nice. Autos are nice and dandy if you are a frequent visitor to the 1/4 or you just want to be lazy. But the MTs are just better.

 

congratz

 

Good job

Any videos?

Do the headers become useless with this mod?

 

5.7=header delete.

 

Damn

 

Wait a minute ...

Even though I've owned my '99 since new and have done quite a good amount of work on it myself, I don't profess to be an aficionado by any stretch. I am however quite familiar and experienced in Ford V8s, primarily the V8 powered F series trucks.

I may be mixing my terms here but when someone says to me "5.7", the only thing I think of is the GM 5.7 liter V8 aka the GM 350.

Are you guys telling me that a GM 350 has been transplanted into 5th Gen Maxima?!

 

5.7 = 7th gen engine swap into a 5th gen

 

Ah Ha ...

Much obliged for the translation.

 

That is a thing of beauty right there.

 

I think your swap is long overdue. we are waiting......

 

@SurraTT - do you know any Canadian members who have done the swap?

 

waoo.. hope to see a 4th gen do this swap.. great job, post some vids please!!

 

no none yet.


yeah there are a few people wanting too. but there are not even many full 3.5 swapped 4th gens much less a full 3.5 swap with a 09vq.

 

^
You should do a Gen 4 swap

 

x2

Going from my old 3.5 DE hybrid to an 08 Alti/09 Max/3.0 timing hybrid plus a 3" exhaust picked up a half a second in the 1/4.

I can't imagine what a full 4.7 swap with cams would feel like.

 

Sorry to thread jack, but if anyones interest. Ive got an excellent base for a full swap 4th gen. Lost interest in the project but everything is there....youve just got to put it together. http://forums.maxima.org/maximas-sal...va-3000-a.html

 

Needless to say results are in...
