Well today i got the max running again after gettin another 3.5 (the first one spun a rod bearing within a month of buying it from j-yard) I didnt get to test it out yet (damn snow) but it sounds alot better.

 

nice job, that was quick

 

congrats, hope you have better luck with this one than your last. Now lets see some dyno numbers and some vids...

 

yay, go tilley go tilley, I might be one of your customers when I get back. hehe

 

I just wish the roads were clear. we got like 4 inches of snow today. I got my 26X9.5 hoosiers yesterday so now im ready too run.

 

wish I live on the east coast. grrrr.... lol.

 

Nice job. Can't wait for some numbers.

 

nice job tilley, i might be doing this for a friend soon. ill will def need some help

 

it's not really a vq35 swap. more like vq-something-in-between

 

i don't understand how the VI functions with this setup

 

u think this will put better numbers than the old? spinning rods...dont know what tahts about but does that show a weak engine and drop in performance?

 

You sir are completely incorrect(edit: incorrect is one word)...that is a FULL vQ35 motor in the 4th gen...not the hybrid as before...where the heck ya been?...go to the all motor forum to read up on it...


Nice Job Tilley....wish I had the time/skills to put on in mine...

 

i dont think the 2002 has a VI

 

Yes it does, all 2000+ have a VI of some sort (VQ35DE's stock manifold included)

 

He did put down 233whp and 230wtq with the old motor on a conservative dyno with stock cams so the VI must be functioning. I believe he held it open all the time and put down more hp but less tq (238whp/223wtq). He doesn't have VTC but he might put down even better numbers with the new motor.

 

well there ya go

 

Care to move to Dallas?


Nice job.

 

nice.. now you can mount a stillen supercharger..

 

all motor baby!!!!

 

unfortunately, he cant. there is no S/C for a VQ35

good work tho man, i would love to see it at an east coast meet.

i wish i could get another car and try and sandwich the motor from the FX45/Q45 into the max.

 

you could try something with the new vq40!

 

 

You know what's funny...maxS was the first person to actually put a COMPLETE VQ35 into a 4th gen, ie harness, ECU, brakes, yada, yada.

Where have YOU been?

 

Bring hte beast to Maxus 05.

 

Nice job TILLEY....I cant wait to see what that car does at the track.

 

that is a beast..

 

the only reason you cant mount a stillen supercharger in a vq35, is because of the vtc's are in the way. But tilley did away with that, so you should be able to mount a sc in there..

 

that is just sick tilley

alittle boost wouldnt hurt tho

 

Like 1fstmax said, no VTCs. Look at the timing cover, it is the VQ30DE's.

 

That's an old pic.

 

the 3.5 in my car does actually have the 3.0 timing chain and cover, and is still run off the 3.0 ecu.....


as far as i know, that pic is actually pretty recent....

 

emma,

PLEASE please buy a Stillen SC and convince Tilley to install it.

There is a used one that fits a early 5th gen in the Classifieds for ~$2500.

 

if this car was SCed it would be sick. It can be fast enough all motor.

 

Wow yeah thats cool, I hab a 96 Maxima with a custom geared 5speed. I took Actually my VQ35 frum a 03 Pathfinder. It was my uncles and a tree fell on it, and it was totalled, so i took his engine and ....took it apart(the engine wasnt damaged) i took it 2 my shop and lightened and shaved the crank, got high revable rods frum my brother shop, DUNK Performance Thailand, and other goodiees. I used a kit to bring up oil pressure,volume, since i wanted 2 rev higher, changed out the stock water pump for a more performance oriented one, and new timing chains and dampers and tensioner, ported and planned the heads and put new oil vained rods. Bought up the compression to 11.15:1, new gaskets and head bolts and headers, engine oild cooler and bigger radiator with slimmer fans. Sounds costlly , yeah but actually it wasnt. Also i wanted to fabricate a mounting plate to put the 300ZX dual throttle intake manifold but , the clearance wasnt waut i wanted, so i custom bent and fabricated , my own high volume upper manny with 2 throttle bodies, one for frunt 3 cylinders and 1 for the rear 3 cylinders.using the stock TPS ish no prob and few mods for the IACV is needed , the onlee thing was now i had 2 intake throttle bodies and onlee 1 MAFM(mass air flow meter. well since i was going to modiffy the programming of my computer, i basically got the computer to interpuret the reading frum the air meter as doubled, to acknowledge the right air intake.Besides that tho i reused alt and comp brackets frum my VQ30 engine and such accesories like that i basically used frum my old engine. Oo pics are soon 2 be displayed. The big test was can the tranny handle it? Well i had beffed it up with stuff i got or had lying around frum a wrecked 02 SE(engine frunt cover ect smashed) It did for the Dyno which turned a 287.45 HP @ 7100RPM the wheels(All Import Dyno Testers) and 278 lbs TQ. Hmm we figured a better of 300 hp if just @ engine, i was kinda upset i guessed 4 more HP, but ill just go bak and tinkle wif my ECU programming, but 4 sum reason my 3rd gear seems to hab stripped out. It NO LONGER WERKS!!, Wuts this, well i am using a slightlly beefed up 3.0 SE tranny. Wut should i do?????

 

SAAAAAAAaaaaaay what?!?!?

That HAS to be the most outrageous first post I've ever seen.

Got pics?

 

hmmm...okay

 

287whp. Now that's pushing it. There is a 2002 Altima pushing something in the high 280's-290whp with cams and just about every bolt on imaginable.

 

I am currentlly on way 2 post pics, not that much bdoy...i spent all my time on the engine ha ha ha

 

Ha,ha....! At least there were some periods used here and there...Sounds like an awesome project though...

Jeremy

 

Its not that outrageous tho, i mean with the shop time i put into it , and cuts and bruises , all 2 say i almost hit a electric post 2day after hittin a big patch of hidden snow/ice in a curve .My wife was worried about meeh i was mad i almost wreked my car lol
