Just Took my car to a test only and it passed. Wondering if there are other 3.5 swapped maximas out there that don't have a check engine light on.

I am running all 3.0 smog equipment on my 3.5 with 3.0 timing and ecu. No check engine light at all

I know what you're thinking, visually yes it should fail but other then the intake manifold there really isn't any difference between what our engines look like so how could they possibly know.

 

awesome. congrats man.

 

This is very good info man, post it in the west coast section SL Renots can hear the good news

 

Working on it.... Switch to a 95 ecu in my 99 but I still have 99 EGR. Gonna go get a 95 EGR from a jy hopefully next week . My smog test is coming up in September. But congrats to you man... By the way what year ecu are you running?

 

My car is a 95 so that's what I'm running. Ecu, egr, all that stuff. Hardest part is making a pipe or I guess it would be a new egr tube from the egr attached to the exhaust to the IM.

 

Now make my tails lmao I gots cash.

 

i think i'm just gonna 3.5 swap my 4th gen lol the more i read about it and the more success stories i see, it makes me want to just dive right into it! on top of that emissions where i live for obd1 only hook up a sniffer

school will be done next year and i will have a better job... so 2-3 years vq35de here i come!

 

NICE .....

 

So would've done this if cash allowed!! That's one thing that steered me away from 3.5 was smog issues. I guess it's back to the drawing board...again lol

Good job tho bro!!

 

what do you mean by what parts are 3.0

 

Sorry but what part do you not get?

 

i like them 50/50 tails. can u make a write up on how u did that? or how much for that. i found the eruo ones on line but i want OEM stuff

 

I did this on my 99 3.5 swap when I put a 95 ecu in it to get rid of P1400 and I passed emissions

So you're basically running a VQ35DE shortblock with VQ30DE timimg, heads, intake, and ECU? Or you running the VQ35DE longblock and intake with VQ30DE timing and ECU?

 

The code engraved on the block perhaps.

VQ35DE with VQ30DE timimg and ECU.

 

nobody looks at the code engraved on the block. besides nissan did a great job of hiding that code under all the egr vacuum lines. trust me, i took it to a test only smog shop and nobody said a word about the engine other then how clean it was

 

you lucky so and so i have they evap purge valve code on since when i got the car lol so maybe i'll fix that when i do a 3.5 swap also all in due time

 

You all should move to a state with no smog or DMV testing.....










<<<<<AHEM

 

Wouldn't that be something... We can only dream that here in cali
