I have an interesting swap in mind, but it all boils down to finding a VQ35 that has a cable operated TB. From my understanding, most are throttle-by-wire. From the little bit of research I have done, some Pathfinders have a cable operated throttle body, but also have a rather low speed limiter.
Using OEM Nissan wiring harness, ECU, and engine, I am trying to build a RWD VQ powered Saturn SC2.
Alot of the 240 guys use 350 harnesses and ECU's from my understanding. I assume that they also use the pedal assembly and throttle body from the 350. As you all know, it has 2 sensors on the pedal. Granted I could fabricate a mount for the 350 pedal and sensors, I would still like to try to build a vehicle that has a cable throttle and not a 113mph limiter.
I also posted on engineswaptech, but that forum is pretty slow.
Here is the car that is potentially going to get this engine/ drivetrain swap/build:
And this is how she pretty much has looked for the 3 years I have owned and driven it lol
I can weld and fabricate no problem, but knowing nothing of Nissan wiring, electronics and programming, I am trying to make this simple in terms of engine management. Thats why I want to use OEM Nissan harnesses and ECU. Also, its more reliable that way, and I do not want to mess with Mega Squirting the car to get it to run. Another problem I have, is I have simply never messed with an ODB II vehicle, and VQ35's are exclusively OBD II (another reason I want to keep it OEM as possible)
Thanks guys. I really appreciate any help you can give me. You guys are the experts, I am just the guy with a welder and grinder and tape measure. lol
