550whp VQ35 turbo powered 06 Sentra Spec-V by Z-Fever

[z-fever]

We are finally building a FWD VQ35DE powered Sentra Spec-V. We have previously finished 3 different Sentra VQ's but we did not build the entire cars. That is not the case here. This is our build from start to finish. It is a fully built VQ35DE. 8.8:1 compression pistons, Rods, MLS gaskets, ARP head studs, JWT cams, springs, retainers, and a custom made (by us) turbo kit. We are using the Osiris ROM editorto tune with and this car WILL MAKE 550whp+.
Here are the pics of the build:

After pulling the stock engine, ready for some real power

The new engine is an 06 Nissan Maxima VQ35DE. We are going to pull it apart and build it with forged internals, metal head gaskets, ARP head studs and main studs, and cams, springs, and retainers.

The bare block ready for building. Bored .20 over

The assembled block! We also polished the timing covers.

First install. It is just sitting in there. We still have to fabricate the mounts

Here is the VQ35 installed. We are making the custom mounts now and then on to making the turbo piping...

Here is the front header and part of the collector to the turbo

Here is a good look at the lower collector going to the turbo

We added the 3" exhaust downpipe:


Here is the L-side engine mount by the radiator:



SO....this is where the turbo will end up. She is finally mounted....


We will add more pics soon!

We just finished the intercooler mounting, the hot pipe, and the radiator piping......









I love the way these look!!!! What do you think?

Very nice man, I think this looks great. I can't wait to see more of this build

[mach3t3Tags]

whats the minimum budget for just the engine swap without the turbo?

[z-fever]

We have not figured out what we would charge for the basic VQ35 swap. We have done 3 of them in the Sentra but all 3 have come from other shops that could not do the work. We finished them. Sometimes finishing a job someone started is even harder than doing it from start to finish.
I would say it is somewhere around the $5k-$6k range.

subscribed. Excited to see what HP numbers/ 1/4 mile times this thing puts down.

Very nice, can't wait to see what you guys get out of this when it's done!

[z-fever]

We just finished polishing the upper coolant pipe.... from pie cut to polished masterpiece!!!





I think you will agree, it looks a ton better like this!

Dont mean to hijack but if anyone is SERious about this swap i am seeling my engine and trans with less than 20k and everything else harness ecu keys s*** linkage the whole nine i i think the only thin missing are the custom mounts check out my post engine has some upgrades all NWP spacers and Vias delete +flashed ecu
