congrations on the amazing setup. cant wait to see more of this car!

 

thas ill, ur a officially a pioneer, but it was inevitable 4 loss off traction with that amount of power, how did u lower ur powertrain?

 

I believe its “Fiber Image,” it think it says on the hood, not sure, I got it used awhile back.

I have considered an oil cooler, but haven’t purchased one yet. I will into it once the hot summer months approach.

I didn’t think you could see my solenoids from those pics, but yes its still there loaded with a 130 shot. I left the system installed because I thought I’d want more torque, but my CVVTS-less VQ35 is making more torque than the little chassis can handle.

As it is I spin all 1st, 2nd, and involuntarily shift lanes in 3rd gear….and I have yet to hit full boost. I firmly believe that spraying and traction simply can’t co-exist in my car. I wish I knew how Mardi, Hal, Blu and the other big-power folks lay the power down to the ground

I modified all mounts locations to lower the power train:
-Front/Rear/Driver side mounts: 1/2” Aluminium spacer (longer bolts required)
-Passenger: re-drilled mount attachment point 1/2" lower from stock (stock bolt is fine)

I dropped my powertrain about 6 month ago and have had zero drivability problems to date, except better handling as a side effect.

 

If you have the time/machinary at your expense, you could make alot of money selling a "drivetrain lowering kit" on the .org.
I know I would buy one, and i'm still with an NA 3.0....

 

I suppose I could cut the plates, drill the holes and sell them along with the hardware, but anyone with access to the raw material and a basic press drill can do these.

Here is a closer to look at what my dropped powertrain looks like:

The passenger side:


Front mount

 

Yep, 275 MT ET Radials make third stick like a champ for me, for 2nd I need to turn the boost down to 1bar for them to hook, 1st is still a tap dance but much better than 255 Pilots Sports for sure. The Quaife helps a bit too.

 

Any trouble mounting the S/C with the lowered drivetrain?

 

I actually feared it would be, but it was not a problem for me since I am running the blower in a straight discharge CCW fashion for my FMIC. It only required cutting the sheet metal further back for proper clearance. All else was pretty straight forward.

I couldn’t say whether it would affect clearance for the the stillen charge pipe.

 

Nice job on lowering the drivetrain. I always wanted to do that if I had kept my maxima.

 

It would NOT be able to mount on the motor if you are running a Front Charge Pipe for your intake.

There is only about 1/4"-1/2" clearance under the Blower unit before it would hit the fender well.

Nice ride I like the front mount intercooler looks like alot of work

props

 

I have something to aim for now.

 

wow...u have built the car i have always wanted to put together.....just wow and your exhaust is a thing of beauty

 

How did you make the S/C work I dont understand the coolant lines are not in the way? Explain please.

 

Intercooler would have to be mandatory to give the charge pipe a different route to go(away from the motors heat, another plus). How about the clearance with the motor mount/fuse box it looks awfully close but might be just the angle of the shot.

 

Congrats on your new set-up! I know there are a lot of us 3.5'ers that are wanting to follow in your footsteps asap!!!!!!!!!!

 

very nice! congrats

 

Wow, that's one hell of a setup you got there. Props for the dual exhaust and the lowering of the engine. That's some incredible work. Just be careful with the fuel, it would be a shame to have that blow up now!
Congrats, now we needs numbers and track times

 

can you please tell us the secret how'd you get over those coolant lines??? And how you mounted that supercharger please.

 

If you wouldve have read a little, he listed that he is using Matty's V1 plate.

 

He used a 3.5ltr motor with 3.0 Timing/Cover with Timing Equipment since hes using 3.0 water pump, and 3.0 wiring harness.

booyaaaaaaaaa , ****ed again. Excuse my French.

 

All that power!! All those goodies!!

And to think that I was there helping him install/tune the beast. And yes when you feel third break loose you can't help but giggle like a little girl and smile your biggest smile.

 

lucky bastarditos

Anyone want to develop a full solution for the 3.5vq? I mean like install and go? Maybe something that would fit in a 6th GEN?

 

matty is actually working on something right now, and there's a thread about it.

 

wheres the thread thats interesting

Congrats,very nice setup.

 

Wow, that is bada$$! Mad props yo!

 

wow i just found this, congratulations. I had no idea you were doing this.

I might need your help doing my 3.5 swap man...

so this is the first s/c vq35. I saw a video back of a turbo 3.5 swapped 4th gen i think belonging to TILLEY.

how long have you beeen workin on this? im surprised..i really had no idea..

 

No one really new I was doing this except for a couple of local power-junky guys with whom I hang out, and of course Ceaser “2k2-blk-6spd” which I forgot to thank for helping me with the install…thanks bro

 

If im ever down in Htown I gotta see this.

 

Bow down to this set up!

Any sound clips?!?!

 

Awesome set-up! I'm speechless!

Where's some vids or sound clips?? I would LOVE to see a video of this car!!

 

what who do you think your at right now? I know its had to tell but a guestamate would be appreciated.

 

Last time we chatted, he said he was shooting to be the first to break 400whp with a supercharger. It's been done with turbos and NO2 as far as I know but never with a superMCcharger. By the way it breaks traction almost all the way through 3rd gear I'd say he's pretty darned close to his goal or possibly even over...as soon as it's tuned we'll see what this beast is really gonna do. As for now, spinning tires at any speed below 80 will have to serve as proof of it's power.

Laterz NASAman oh and to my post count biz-nitch.

 

Amazing setup!

on dyno #s

 

Badass setup, looking forward to seeing some dyno sheets.

 

cant wait to see this car dyno im also thinkin of doin another 3.5 swap with my current 3.0 sc 6 speed

 

glad to see that you finally got everything up and running, definately a nice setup
