Well heres whats been going on today, weight reduction and motor install (vq35)

 

Cool things are always happening at your shop. Looks nice!

 

do you really think drilling those holes was worth the time? How much weight do you think it shaved off?

 

Thats actually a really good idea. Who's car is that? Goin' with no HVAC?

 

it has no ps also maybe krismax

what radiator is going to be used and what fan. It looks like there is a smaller one ther.

 

I was thinking Kris... but I wouldn't have figured on him having a battery that weighed more than seven ounces. Ha...

 

lol, looks good tilley i know where im going if i need anything done that big

 

I see two different motors, the one on the stand has headers installed yet the one in the engine bay has none. Are you working on two project at the same time or the other engine was just for test fitting.

Eric

 

wow nice work Tilley. I want a swap like that someday

 

uhhh, looks nice i guess.

 

I was test fitting the headers.

 

new mod: cheese grater

 

i want one!!

 

Very nice pics ,that car will do great things soon

 

 

Sweet!

 

Is that a 02-03 or an 04+ engine?

 

Too bad I don't live in or near PA.

 

looks like its goin to be a beast. tilley have you ever though about investing in that vq35 stroker kit that was on vqpower a while ago. it looked impressive but nobody has yet to get it because of price but it would be a perfect project your all motor beasts.

found the article http://www.vqpower.com/v2/article105.html

 

02-03. its the version 1

oh and to whoever made the cheese grater comment it looks even more like one in person hahaha

 

I think I may just move to PA for a couple months to get stuff done..

 

come in the summer... winter here sucks

 

Thats nice but even my cost is 6700.

 

Thats Krismax's ride all the way I know for a fact cause only he would think of punching holes in the interior frame. hmm yep that's why he's so light I bet he did the hood and trunk and others....That ride
going to be sick Nice work Tilley on the Engine ...

 

Are you guys going to get rid of the heater core??

 

Damn Tills you beat me to it... Mine's goinn in tomorrow! :woohoo2:


Tilley: In the 2nd pic, the hose by the oil filter, where does that go to?
And are you leaving the heat shields off of the exhaust manifolds?

 

Looks kinda like a sandwich style oil cooler to me. Unless its an oil drain for a turbo Kris hasn't told us about.

You get that carrier bracket off easy?

 

^ It's still in my sister's car, haven't touched it yet lol.

 

exactly what i was thinking. and thezeroproject, there is a guy across the bay that does swaps and work on maximas also. alot closer then pa.
