praedet Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Well, apparently a turboed SR20 was not enough. This VQ35 swap is a first as far as I know. Rao, try something a little more interesting next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 yep, the VQ swap is getting popular in the sentra platform. only downside is it is still FWD..... all that power and no traction....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I thought about it but all that work for a front wheel drive car didn't add up for me. Plus engine management options are virtually non existent. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I thought about it but all that work for a front wheel drive car didn't add up for me. Plus engine management options are virtually non existent. retarded. Also idles like it has the wrong cams in it. Probably because the EM is setting the variable cam timing completely wrong.

mdzowner Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 i had a friend do a vq swapout of a maxima to his spec v and it ran like a mutha. they are more common than one might think:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I like it - it's pretty unique, especially since he didn't turn it into a stripped racer but instead brought the interior up a notch. It's not something I'd do but I wouldn't knock it either. There's plenty of tuning potential - that's an AEM standalone, not a stock ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 I simply thought it was interesting and different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Have you seen the LS1 powered EVO? [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=iWW0-gQMWCc]YouTube - LS1-EVO-1[/ame] I thought THIS was an interesting swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I think VQ35 is a bit heavy for the Sentra platform. Different, yes, better than SR20, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator GT Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Have you seen the LS1 powered EVO? I thought THIS was an interesting swap. Well, I gotta say THIS is outrageous! Thats gotta be pretty scary as this thing pulls up next to you at a light and you hear THAT rumble! Although when he is unable to put it down efficiently, thats when scary turns to funny. Sports Compact Car had an Infiniti G35 coupe that someone made into a "homemade" R34.5 GT-R with the drivetrain from the G35x sedan, and of course, he t/c'd the VQ as well. Sounds impressive, but not a whole lot of detail given out, unfortunately. "If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." - T.

What surprised me is that they say the LT1 drive train is actually lighter than the VG30DETT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different, yes, better than SR20, probably not. actually not by too much surprisingly. but the added weight helps with traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
