VQ boys......parts, problems, upgrades, swaps, boost

[Chiney]

i will change plugs and put in some nice juicey ones and well do the injectors later in de month

[cacasplat3]

doing sum real work there boi, wah was the original reason for taking out the engine?
electrical is ah stress?(ah shouldnt even be asking this )
when it comes out tell us how it runing.

[Chiney]

well yeh.. of course.. yeh. basically a complete service on the under engine..

gonna handle de odda parts later...

but the leak started the break down and leadin us to other faults..

[cacasplat3]

^^^^ cool scene man, i sure your mech cussing u for putting him through this stress

[Chiney]

nah.. he got like 4 days to do the work.. no prob at all.. i jus hadda keep meh arse home..

wats the latest with yours??

those newer vq have the same power.. but somehow they naturally sound more

but the parts are in slightly different location..

get some pics of yuh intake nah..

[cacasplat3]

the man who supposed to do my intake say he dosent have time until next weekend, i eh know how that going to work cuz school opening monday for me and i usually keep my ass home on weekends.
rodney had said that the newer vq's have VIAS or sumthing so, he said that in the beggning of this thread i think, i think he said it adds 30hp on the 3.0L models over its predessor.
well i got meh brakes polished over the weekend, and i got sum slots up on the front rotors. was done on a CNC milling machine, it was perfectly balanced and no part of the rotor is under the min. thickness, so i safe.
brakes holding like WOW now

a strut bar would be installed in a few weeks, and the extractors will have to put off, most likely i'll just de-cat and put a nice 2.5 inlet turbo barrel. that should be enough for the while.

u wah pics of the intake now? i could take the pics, but is nothing special cuz the filter just behind the battery.

[Chiney]

oh ok.. well small thing

de-cat the car..

how much HP across the band will this add??

and i eh wah meh car with noise.. so no barrel(aka rice)

BRAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[cacasplat3]

^^^^^^^^^^ u MAAD
that v6 does sound real sweet with ah good muffler, nuh no brrrraaappppppp thing, is like voooooooowwwwwwwwwww, sounds almost 350z(then again it is the same family!)
removing the cat should give betweent 4-8hp, not sure, but it worth giving it ah try.
strut bar has to be confired though, cuz i supposed to call the fella and i stick
only other thing i could think of doing right now, is changine the coolant(never changed it) and changing the power steering oil, an oil cooler isnt hard to put in to the powersteering system, just remove the loops infront the condenser and put the cooler, but that is ah waster IMO

gauges may come in the future, but those indiglo gauges real hard to come across, i would have sum e-mailing to do to find those things.

[Chiney]

well got the car...today.. works like WOW !!!

and well.. the exhaust system sounds great..

the job cost $5000.00TT !!
and still eh done..
got the cradle arms to do.. boths side.. $1300 ah side + labour(300)

so all odda stuff hadda wait hoss. but the car sounds GREAT.. reminds me of the time pop pick it up and reach home with it.. with 19000KM on de ODO.. sounded like ah new engine..

he did ah good job...

i will list the stuff he did later on

i still recovering from de 5000.00 BLOW TO HEAD

[cacasplat3]

boi that is real money, buh the cradels is ah big blow too, $1300!!!! i payed 900 for one after a discount, all u have to do is get sumone in massey to buy it for u and yuh good. 300 to install one is too high, if is 2 well that eh bad. now doh make the mistake like me and tighten up the cradel b4 putting weight on it, leave the cradel slack, drop the car back on the wheels, then thighten up the nuts. it prevents the rubbers in the cradel from being streched.

what u did to the exhaust?
and ehat else u have to do?

[Chiney]

wat else i have to do..

service the engine itself !!

i eh do exhaust yet.. no way i got cash for that..

i have ah few more mods to deal with.. but they HAVE to wait..

[cacasplat3]

arite cool.


right now i looking for ah pair of H3 xenon bulbs for meh fog lamps, them thing like gold, i cyah find it anywhere.

well the past few days i eh really drive the car, it just make ah few short run, and i find it ah lil lazy, the air filter want cleaning, but i eh buy the kit yet(lazyness) car real suffering cuz ah that.


ah wonder wah rodney find out bout the headders!
chiney u real lucky though, it have real parts out there for your car, but not the A33, it have sum swet body kits and plenty parts from nismo too, but not one thing for the A33, i feel i going to buy ah rice car and done yes, that easier. kixx

[Chiney]

rice..

oh geeeeeeddddddddd

performance boi !!!

h3 sells all over.. check ah car place and u safe.. i buy like 7 pairs so far since i started using dem

dey does blow like in 3months.lol

remember it dong below there.. and well.. water and sheit does frigg it up
the bulb close to de glass.

so i feel water have somethin to do with it .. or watever yes...

but u LAZY.. or u wuda find it alrdy

[cacasplat3]

nah boi that eh rice, rice is when u add 200 different new lights ah spoiler and graphics to ah sweet car like ah SE cefiro. that is rice.


well my bulbs there since i have the car, they working good, but i just want ah pair to match with the headlghts. i check real ppl fuh these lights, maska have sum tiawan bulbs there fuh 75 ah pair, them thing look like it go blow b4 i put it on

ah feel i have to rename this thread to just VQ20 or cefiro disscussion or sumthing, cuz that engine eh swapping out, i done see that

[Picasso]

^^ I was now going to ask if out of all them thread pages if the engine was actually swapped

If I were you guys I would have chilled my self and save to for a VQ35DE and from a crash in a front cut. And take my time and swap out everything. It will cost an arm and a leg but you should have zero problems with the swap.

[cacasplat3]

the 3.5 have a serious security system, wiring is thunder for those engines. as i posted b4, i saw in ah episode of monster garage, where they swapped a 3.5, it took a top notch japaneese electrician, 2 days to sort out the wiring, even though he had very detailed wiring diagrams.
to wire up that engine would cost more than the front cut.


thread renamed

[Chiney]

^^ firetruck!

picachu has ah point there..

wat about ah vg30DETT ?

[cacasplat3]

engine originally is ah RWD, would be sweet if it could work, but u have to get ah small gearbox to fit, cuz the original real long.
other than that, it would be mean,

to convert a, A32 or A33 to rwd eh go be easy, so it has to stay FWD, only other opiton i seeing is the sr's DET's or VE's

the 20V SR20VE puts out 200 hp, thats N/A but they only came in a specific model priemera, that with a cold air, and extractors, and a lil bit of tuning coud have the cefiros moving, but they really rare.

[Chiney]

i jus realized something today...

the a32 came with cold air hoss.. as well as yours.. if we took out the filter and used ah K&N drop in.. i am SURE.. that the performance wuda be around the same..
