Baseline Dyno
I dyno'd the Maxima this morning just to have something to compare to later on. Pretty predictable numbers with just a y-pipe and cat-back basically. Dyno'd in 4th gear, of course. Car made 170 WHP and 180 WTQ. It was about 50 or 55 degrees in the shop and it was raining I did 3 pulls and they were really consistent, only wavering a couple tenths here and there on the horsepower and the torque went up a little with each pull as the car got warmed up properly.
This graph is from run 2 of 3, the third run had the highest numbers but they were all REALLY close.

wtf? I could have sworn you were auto for some reason!
Nice numbers! Not bad at all if its just y-pipe and catback. I would have rather seen some dynojet #s for a real heads-up comparison to other setups here. "Dynomite" reminds me too much of J. J. from Good Times...
What is next is line for the car? What are the big plans here?

Yes, and no. I don't have that car anymore but I didn't sell it, I totalled it unfortunately It WAS supposed to be sold but it bit the big one before I could sell it.

IMO a swap can be perfectly reliable, all depends on how it's done and every detail/aspect accounted for. Look at eng92 for example, there's a well done, well thought out swap and every detail accounted for.

I think my biggest reason for worrying about reliability is that no one local knows jack squat about VQ's. When I had my Talon, I had a buddy with me every step of the way who knew how things worked on the 4G63. If I did a 3.5 I'd be learning it all the hard way

I have a 3.5swap 5-speed swap car and put 2000 miles on the car in the 1st month, drove it from philly to nyc to the md/va border
and 220 miles aweek to work the only problem I had is a broken tranny but that seems to be common with 5-speeds
another local org member in phila, pa area drives his daily and out of state all the time
the car will run as good as you build it

(SAE #s)
250WHP Stock motor with bolt-ons SSIM and AFC with timing advance via ubber correction, Cutout
369WHP Same but RMT'd with MAF max'd out
254WHP Same motor with cams, but EB tuning with NO indirect ign timing advance what so ever and 3" catback
No burning oil, compression is dead on as of last time I checked,
This last tank, I still managed 22.6mpg! about 70% highway. WITH my heavy foot, and mind you, I dont have oxygen sensors (tuned "closed loop" with EB)
Been just over 2yrs since the swap, and already put on about 35,000 miles on it, and its running better now than ever.
All because....

just wondering why did you make such a big deal of mileage when you were looking to buy a car if your looking to do a 3.5swap
you could have saved alot of money by getting a maxima with a bad or blown motor got a 3.5 swapped and it still may have been cheaper than the max you bought

This isn't a 3.5 car and it's older. This car has a 3.0 and it's a '98. The same year Altima would have a 2.4.

I'm mainly focusing on small, non-engine related stuff right now. Basically, just getting the car to where the old one was interior-wise and doing little tasteful aesthetic things. Once I have that and some subframe connectors out of the way (all of that should be done fairly soon) any and all money will be directed to the engine. First, it needs a PROPER 00VI setup. From there, it all depends on how much cash I want to dump into my daily driver I guess.
