the 2.0l
today ah find ah website that makes custom forged pistons and con rods.... at a lower compression if u want it as well.... which means that u can boost the engine with more safety..... prob 12lbs if using lower compression....... but the drive train weak..... in an automatic the clutches would go in no time.... but its sumthing to consider when boosting engines that dont have aftermarket internals
main problem would be supplying the fuel..... engine management is not a problem... but finding the injectors is the hard part

^^ all wat u said there is true.

but remember.. its really uncommon to do wat we want to..

unlike rodney.. he using NA power..

thats the only options we have for this engine basically.. dependin on the engine itself and good aftermarket mods.. and no turbo.. nothing forced.. straight NA

Not necessarily, the VQ from 2.0 to 3.0 uses side feed injectors. the VQ35 uses top feed. So any nissan side feed injectors will work. The most recommended injector for boost is the 370CC 300ZX injectors. Not sure if it would work on the VQ20 though.

update.........

waz reading up.. the internals of the vq20 and vq30 are not as strong as ppl think. prob safe too about 6-8 psi if so much. its not dat ez in gettin the parts either.

the vg series on the oddah hand is good for about 10-12psi and parts can b sourced easier for it than the vq..

google it up..i lost the article

IMO that was a great price......

ac problem. initially it was cooling intermittently, we changed the dryer( which was the problem) also pressure sensor and expansion valve. now it does not cycle. ran on car diagnostic. all sensors were fine, still, we changed the intake sensor but problem persists. the compressor can be turned off manually. it just does not cycle as it should. any advice would be appreciated. note we were getting a fault code for the sunload sensor, but it was coming up intermittently.

Pic very bad, but basically, the coolant hoses on firewall removed, radiator out, accelerator cable out, engine harness ready to be puled through firewal(not looking forward to that!!) HP power steering line disconnected, jus crossmenber and mounts to remove, gear shifter also and then pull engine .

Click for full-size.



Day 2 is where its all gonna take place. Was a long day, considering it was my first time disconnecting an engine out a car...

sweeeeeeeeet........finally u doing this Twisted Evil

looks like a lot of work for the next couple weeks......if i was u i'd boost it one time but that's just me.......
sumone was telling me about an easy way to boost the FWD V6's by putting the turbo exactly where the y-pipe goes into one pipe. the turbo would be really low but it could easily be covered up.......not a bad idea IMO especially on a VQ35 seeing that their RWD sisters making 380hp easily on stock internals with a twin turbo bolt on. and u could use one T3 or T4 turbo.....

just trowing sum ideas at you......
good luck in the coming few days

Well guys was a very long and tiring day......

Basically the Vq35 is in, bolted bolt for bolt, had some issues with clearance which i will get to.

to get the 20 out we decided to lift it out whole as i had a tranny with the 35 so it didn't make sense parting it with the tranny to get it out an put the 35 in. takin the 20 out was a real pain in the rear, well it was my first time also....

we basically lifter the whole engine"vq20" out through the engine mount on the valve cover on the "left hand side facing the engine". was a real real pain so we decided to put in the 35 from under the car. so we had to jack the car higher which wasn't a prob. but we ended up maxin out the height of the jack stands.

gettin in the 35 was alot of work also as i had no trolley so we pushed(both with hands and feet) and rocked until it was in. there was a point where we had to lift the chassis with the cherry picker(to clr the intake manifold)as we had no more lift with the jack or jackstands. so we eventually got it in dropped the car back to meet the jack stands and then hooked the cherry picker on the 35 to hoist it in position.

crossmember bolted right on que, other mounts bolted right on que. so LHD and rhd have same mounting points. did have some issues with the left side as my master cylinder is there. first issue was that the VQ35 engine harness passes to the left then goes behind the engine through the firewall.

my car(and vq20 by extension) passed the engine harness out the firewall over the tranny then in front. so basically it meant that where lil plastic thing is on the back of the engine with all the wires IS where my Master cylinder IS also. so i had to remove it and rest it on top the engine. found a way around it though as i removed the plastic housing the wires and pushed the wires under the MS. will post pics of it in a bit to clr up what i mean. the second issue is that the high pressure power steering line to bolt on top the strut passes directly over the master cylinder reservoir. basically mean it can't open with the line bolted. not sure what's gonna happen with it so i left it hanging. another issue is that the 20 uses a 2 pin switch for the PW line and the 35 uses a 3 pin. again not sure what's gonna happen. may have to use back my 20 line or 35 harness(for the power steering line).

those were the only probs so far. car to go to wire in e-gas pedal and (I35)instrument panel as it's much nicer. hope the e-gas pedal fits!!!!

may have an issue with closing the hood as the 35 IM sits way higher than the 20. it's basically sitting as high or higher than the strut tower.

will post pics of the 35 in and the issues in a bit.
