Im making a couple of my blocks ,but they are going to be 70mm pathy blocks. I cant get the stock to work without extreme clocking.

Well looking at BOTH fsm's, it appears the terminals #1 and #2 are swapped and #4 and #6(tab connector at top) are swapped.

Resistance is 22-ohm on the 5th gen and 30-ohm on the 4th gen.

Verification for resistance between terminals is IDENTICAL though, so who knows.

You still need the other devices such as FICD that are part of the IACV assembly.

The idle steppers for AC and PS are not really needed and if they are unhooked the computer does not know or care. They are not hooked to the computer in any way. I bought a spare plug to to plug into the PS pressure switch to fool it and make it think that no increased rev's are needed.
I figured all of this out because i will be putting electric power steering on this summer 5-7 hp everywhere

What's FICD?

I thought you'd already done the electric P/S? Maybe the thread I read was just one where you were planning on doing it. I'm very interested in this as well because I've removed the P/S pump from my DE-k to further quicken installation so I may get tired of no P/S and want to do the electric pump.

Fast Idle Control something?

On the 4th gen there's a fast idle control cam. Raises the idle based on the temp of the coolant. On the 5th gen one though, it looks like its controlled by vacuum. And another thing that I found strange is the coolant that flows through the 5th gen TB goes around the IACV, not any type of fast idle cam. The way they have it, it makes me wonder why they even route it through the TB at all.

What do you mean? Are you talking about the coolant and the IACV on the 5th gen TB?

On the bottom of a 4th gen TB there is an inlet and outlet for coolant. People commonly bypass this for hopes of keeping the TB cooler and keeper intake temps down. Not proven to help though. Anyway, on a 4th gen the coolant flows in and around a piston that, when cold is pushed out, holding the throttle open a bit. As the coolant heats up, so does this piston or cam and it recesses back, thus allowing the idle to drop.

On the 5th gen however, the coolant flows in in much the same way, but there is nothing (that I can see) that would make a difference to idle whether the coolant is hot or cold. It just kinda flows through the middle of the IACV. There is a strange looking spring with flat coils (as opossed to round) that may do something with relation to the coolant temp but I'm not sure what.

It looks like the fast idle "cam" on a 5th gen is located at the top of the TB. It looks like a piston that is controlled by vacuum as it is connected to the throttle body behind the butterfly. IS this in fact the fast idle cam or am I off in left field?

What I wouldn't give to sit down with an actual Nissan designer/engineer and go over this engine. Man, that'd be cool.

Sorry if I told you a bunch of stuff you already knew. Just trying to expand on the my last post a bit.

Not quite off topic, but I am having a very hard time with all of those vacuum/coolant/fuel hoses on my 4th gen. The 96 FSM is a little vague. Does anybody have any pictures of the hoses?
Kudos to BSwithTF, for telling me where to hook the coolant up to the TB.
Doing an engine swap for the first time, and like an idiot, i didnt mark anything except the fuel in/out.

Why not? Are the two sets of bolts in the way?

Also, any idea what it's going to cost for these?

I'm talking with a fabricator/machinest friend to see what he'd charge for these, but I have a feeling it's going to be too much for what people would pay.

Probably cheaper/simpler to go with a 5th gen throttle-body, so I may just have a couple of those made, if any.

Yes, that is exactly it. But as I said earlier, you can do without it if you're willing to put up with a low idle speed until the engine warms up.

ok i understand that now. the next thing that i got confused on was the bracket part? why do u need a special fabricated bracket to put a 4th gen throttle body on the VI?

and is there anyway to get rid of the low idle speed if i use a 5th gen throttle body?

I figured the few who would do this swap would also want a pathfinder TB. And at most I will only make about 5 of these. If I made ones with stock 96 TB the clocking you see it would be atleast double or more(the angle)of what mine is now. Its the way the bolt pattern is.
I will set the price from $135-150 around $150 shipped.

Okay...good to know.

Hopefully, I can get DEK throttle-body size ones made for less, but maybe not.

You really didn't bother reading anything in this thread did you? The bracket you speak of is a TB spacer/IACV mounting bracket. Go back and read all the pages as every question that there is to ask is already answered.

krismax is using a Pathfinder TB, and the mounting holes don't match up with the intake manifold, so he had to make an adapter plate. He very ingeniously incorporated an attachment for his 4th gen IACV in the adapter plate.

If you don't use the 4th gen IACV, then you have to use some other means besides ecu control of the idle speed (yes, the ecu does control idle speed). The old school way to do this is by using the throttle body butterfly plate adjuster screw. This works pretty well for me, but there is a minor issue of the idle speed being a little low until the engine warms up.

It's the same as all other FWD VQ35s but with EGR connections.

Now you really should concern yourself with the stock valvetrain. The VQ35 retainers are the best option because they're lighter than titanium and only about $3 each from the dealer.

I have been waiting for a good opportunity to realease this information and this appears to be it. The VK45 titanium valves are near identical to the VQ30 valves. The only thing that is different is the total length which can be adjusted with new shims.

VQ30DE Steel valve;
Face In: 36.0 - 36.3mm
Face Ex: 31.2 - 31.5mm

Stem In: 5.965 - 5.980mm
Stem Ex: 5.945 - 5.960mm

Length In: 97.32 - 97.82mm
Length Ex: 94.85 - 95.35mm

Valve seat angle 45º15' - 45º45'

VK45 Titanium valve;
Face In: 36.0 - 36.3mm
Face Ex: 31.2 - 31.5mm

Stem In: 5.972 - 5.980mm
Stem Ex: 5.962 - 5.970mm

Length In: 96.57mm
Length Ex: 94.50mm


Valve seat angle 45º15' - 45º45'

The faces and the seat angles are identical. The stems are slightly different only because the expansion rates are slightly different between the metals. They're both classified as 6mm stems.

The only question that remains is the location of the keeper. If it's high enough on the Ti valve then there is no problem. If it's too low then custom retainers will be needed to make them work.
Mardigrasmax said in a old post thet the crower springs and retainers from the 2 jz will work, i will get some and measure them . Its $391 for the titanium springs and retainers ,cheaper than jim wolf and not steel.
also i want the titanium valves did you find out if they are in the 56?

I doubt they're in the VK56. You would have to use the ones from the VK45, but then the 2JZ retainers might be wrong.

yeah that is kinda what I figured, I just saw the words "bypassed the rev limiter" while skimming through and was wondering if this was done of if he got the JWT. I would watch those 8K revs though without some stiffer vlave springs.

there is no modification needed. I currently have a 2k1 5 speed tranny in my 97 SE 5 speed. Some say that the shifter sits too low and effects driveability but it doesnt for me. Maybe cause i have a pascetter STS but looking at how it is, i dont think it causes that much issue. Mine sits almost perfectly in the middle. If you want to see a pic, PM me.

2k2+ tranny on the other hand is another story. And 2k+ auto's may take a lot of modification since they involve more computer stuff...

I can't use the VK intake valve in my VQ35 because the face is 1mm smaller but I can use the exhaust valve if I shave the stem to make it shorter. The reason behind that is the VK45 valves are longer than VQ35 valves but shorter then VQ30 valves.
The VK56 uses the same size valves as the VK45 even though it has a much larger bore of 98mm. If the VK56 used ti valves it would be better because I have better access to Nissan parts as opposed to Infiniti parts.
why not just vq30det valvetrain?

Is there any tuning involved for the larger injectors that have to be used? Or will the ECU self adjust ?

My ECU adjusted itself to the larger injectors. I got it checked on the dyno with a wideband about a month after the install and they said the A/F was alright.
