I'm gonna do my best to keep a detailed list of my next couple of steps.

I plan to use the next week to get my EU wired up and working and then the weekend following that ill start the process of adding my super charger and Matty's plate kit.

I'm honestly looking to put down 330-350 ft-lbs and I'll be happy.

I will also get a dyno done and take as many pics as i can.

wish me luck gents...


EDIT: I will try and update my parts list in this thread and pics in the other ones.

My motor setup and current mods:
Year of Engine:
03 3.5 maxima motor with ~40k on engine

Engine Modifications:
DEK injectors
cams drilled with JWT spacers
JWT VQ35 valve springs
ARP rod bolts
SSIM
pathfinder TB
no midpipe (MAF connects right to TB)
old injen filter attached to the maf

No iacv

The motor cost me around $350 and the prices of the other things are commonly known.

Good luck with it. I wish my DD had a 3.5 in it, let alone a blower on top of that!

 

3.5 swap and boost was the best thing i've ever done to my maxima. you're going to have a lot of fun with it as i am. Good Luck Bro!

 

3.5 and boost is the way of the future....

 

Good luck.

 

350ft-lb with an sc on a 3.5's gonna be like 400+whp... niiiiiice.

 

good luck

 

Good luck man, curious on the cost, Cheaper than going turbo?? I hope..

 

I'm in for this one....

 

im in .. try and keep a parts list as well as cost if you can in for future pics..

 

I'd definately like see a parts list too. I would definately like to go this route since I have the S/C already.

S

 

I honestly hope so.... if hoping for big numbers made them happy eveyone here would have a 500whp 10sec car. lol

Well i bought my s/c kit from someone used and i got a good deal since it was 2 kits in one. so i sold one kit, so it was around 1200 for what i have minus a few things im picking up now.

You break so many motors.....im afraid if you go boost

I'll keep a parts list in the first thread and add pics tonight, ive been busy with this weekends activities. I actually have a turkey breast roasting at the moment.

 

I also might have to put the iacv back on the car just in case i have any idling issue while doing this install. It would make it a lot easier to diagnose any issue i might run into.

 

No, no - spray PLUS S/C boost - since I think a UTEC is next for me, and I already have headers and stuff, it would seem logical.. plus I have another 3.5 in the garage for a forged lower-end build. If I S/C, then I'll need lower compression pistons - otherwise 11:1 pistons for just spray. And maybe a 6-spd LSD...

Or maybe the heat and humidity is just getting to me...


" if you ain't breakin' sumthin', you ain't racin' "

 

dang the motor was only $350...Makes me wish I had got a sentra and put a VQ35 in it.

 

after driving the vq35 i can say that its a waste in a fwd car and it would be great in a sub 3klb car

 

I thought i had posted up these pics already but ive been so busy with work this week.


Blitz bov



dual gauge pod



Vortech v2 with mounting plate attached. I used my HTC touch for a size reference for those who haven't seen one in person. ( my touch is about the size of my palm)

 

Mmm boost

 

tasty isnt it? i'm still waiting for alot more parts that havent shown up.

 

sweet man nice to see you are getting to boost yours up. maybe one day i can return to a boost setup..

did you have an engine build up pic thread??

 

I love boost. Hell everything i own and will own will be boosted lol. Cant wait to see it done

 

Congrats on your 3.5 swap.....and yeah, that booooooost is going to make your make max dance all over the highway through 1st, 2nd, and most of 3rd gear


What pulley size are you going with? I don't see any fuel upgrades listed, what are you doing about fuel? You mention "drilled cams and JWT spacers", are those aftermarket or the stockers?

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

ill add more pics on sunday when i get back from a wedding

 

if i recall they are just stock 3.5 cams.

I have a hi flow walbro (sp) and im looking to get some injectors but im not to sure on what size to go with at this point.

and im going with a 2.87.... if i recall since the pulley doesnt have any writing on it and its been a year since i touched it.

 

sweet cant wait, i might be done something like this later on

 

Wow alot of time has passed by since i started this thread. I was held up by alot of EU parts coming to me very slowly along with the WB equipment. Also weddings and a vacation that I took last weekend.

But today I got my EU up and running ( aside from my fans not kicking on but i found out that i need to leave jump 13 open, ill fix that when i go back outside.) and I will try to get my wb installed tomorrow.

I would have pics but the wife took our camera to florida.... and my cell phone pics suck outside of bright day light.

I also got my oil line for my sc setup and I should begin my install shortly.

 

ok guys i seem to be having an eu issue and any help would be appreciated.
