I was just hoping to see who has the cleanest looking VQ35 Swap in a 4th gen.

I remember Dubbya had a nice looking swap, but has anyone else taken the time to clean up thier engine bay after the swap?

Post some pictures!

 

the pic of my sig is currently the best one I have on my computer. I think Luke @ vqpower might have another one, I'll check in a few

^^^ damn thats hella clean...i wish mine was like that

 

Your MAF housings are gayly small

 

eng92 has the best setup imo, followed by meximax, then soon to be nismology..

 

Jime's is up there too.

 

such a beautiful sight...........

 

Ehhmmmmmm...

 

Some what clean....but it doesn't get any better than this.....

 

Damn I'm so close to doing this mod!!!!! Do any 3.5 guys have a CAI attached to the stock midpipe? Will the CAI piping go into the same hole?

 

Dubbya

 

Yes sir look at my sig picture up top. Thats a Bomz CAI. I just had to get an extra coupler and extend the tubing about 3" (I had another midpipe laying around, so I hacked off a section of it and used it as an extension pipe)

 

Invalid,

We need a better picture, Dubbya'esque.

 

Is that more better?

 

why do you still have the stock intake scoop still installed?

 

I agree with Ephraim. That scoop only works because of the suction effect of the stock airbox. Since with the hood closed, there really is no "ram air effect" there enough to notice a difference of the scoop being there or not. So you can get rid of it if you want

 

For the factory look...

 

I have to say Im partial to my engine bay. I just finished wire looming all the loose stuff in the pic above. Ill post up a new one after a washing. I think this is good thread though. It will give some people ideas on how to dress up a VQ35 Swap.

BTW this engine bay pic of my car >*

 

where do you guys get these engine covers. my car needs one for car shows.

 

This thread gets my approval.....lol

 

your car should have come with one like every other 02-03 Maxima ever built. If it didn't, someone ripped you off

 

Since you didn't get one when you did your swap, you can find them on ebay or at the dealership. I have even come across them in the org. classfieds.

 

once I repaint my engine cover, I might stand a better chance
