VQ Swapped SE-R with cams/bolt-on's..

[1moneywagon]

makes me really sad that my spec-v is sitting in my parents garage for the winter :(

[ortizjonathano]

yo bro can i do a vq35 hr swap in a altima

[BIRD84210]

Thanks Travis, and @CSQUAR3sBaCk its still front wheel drive not rear..

[BIRD84210]

Cool, Is the redline 8k? Were putting it on the street tomorrow. Gonna be a nice summer cruiser. Another thing i noticed is there are a bunch of ground wires connected to the negative terminal on battery?

[Trav4011]

@BIRD84210 I don't remember what it revs to, honestly.. that was like 4 years ago.

The ground wires are probably a grounding kit.. It helps to stabilize voltage.

[Trav4011]

I think Technosquare ended up doing the ECU, because JWT couldn't at the time..

[BIRD84210]

@Trav4011 Will do, thanks.. I know it has the JWT ecu correct? Whats the redline?

[BIRD84210]

My Dad and I just purchased this car. Drove to Round Rock TX to pick her up. Shes a BEAST!!

[Trav4011]

@BIRD84210 Cool.. let me know if you need anything. :)

[CSQUAR3DsBaCk]

After the swap, are they still front wheel drive or rear wheel drive?

[af1master692]

@CSQUAR3DsBaCk Rear



[Trav4011]

I have billet mounts machined to bolt this into the Spec V.. Factory mounts do not work.

[splifstah517]

loving the spec-v vq swap bro...im tryin to do the same and ive been researching and reading up on it so much im wondering about motor mounts...did you use the same ones from the maxima engine or make custom one?

[RyTyTech]

dude where did you get those gauges... they are nasty

[MrAnthona]

sick car man. how well do these cars hold up with these swaps?

[TaLoCc]

i wanna c this go up agaisnt a j swap 4 door civic ej..wit same mods lol

[Trav4011]

@TaLoCc Well, if you look through my videos, you'll see that we went 12.20's @ 110+mph, with a N/A VQ, with just cams, and OEM parts. Keep in mind, this is a FULL WEIGHT sentra (3000 lbs) with full interior, and a 200+lb driver. It's not a gutted shell that weighs nothing.

[TaLoCc]

@Trav4011 lol cams can do alot to a car..idk if da aftermarket makes any cams for j motors.

[Trav4011]

@TaLoCc Well sure.. The C8's in this application probably add around 35-40hp over the stock cams. It's still fast for a full weight, 4 door car that comes in at around 3K lbs, like you see it here.

[bitsoi15]

@Trav4011 why not buy the b13 se-r and build the sr20 and run high tens with about a third of the money you spent on that?

[Trav4011]

@bitsoi15

Been there, done that.. like, 10 years ago. ;) BTW, I didn't spend any money on this car. The car is for a customer, and I built it for him. Thanks!

[bitsoi15]

@Trav4011 oh yeah the b13 ser was my first car and im never getting rid of it. im 17. and thats really cool thats what i am going to school for to learn how to do it for a living. i have a burning passion for cars. when i die i wanna be creamated and i want my ashes to be run through a tank of gas haha

[Trav4011]

@bitsoi15 You don't have to go to "school" to do this.. I didn't..

[Whatnissan]

I love my car ahhh

[phantome28]

could u tell how much the swap cost.. ?

[Xbox360Player350]

So what tranny is this using?

[importroller]

That thing just sounds sexy

[diegoms30]

Wooow, that thing must fly.

[Trav4011]

The motor is from a 03 Maxima.. The cover is from an 04 Maxima. The 350z makes more power due to a better designed intake manifold, exhaust, and tuning. The RWD 350 and G35 engine WILL NOT fit in the Sentra chassis. ONLY the FWD variant will fit.. ie.. Altima, Maxima, I35, Murano, Quest minivan.

[OrangePHX]

Does a Turbo VQ35 Sentra exist?

I want to see a video of it..

[funguy7979]

ya there is a video on here that has a car club of spec v's with vq transplants and one has a turbo in it. looked sick.

[Whatnissan]

@Trav4011 I thought you told me I had an 05 I remember you telling me that. Are you shure its an 03??

[funguy7979]

if someone would build a swap kit for this i would do the build immediately and the first thing i would add would be a supercharger or turbo. Maybe even a rear-mounted turbo, just run the pipes. I still would love to do this build. I have a 1.8 sentra with some suspenion mods that i got just to go to work and back. Would be great for a sleeper.

[funguy7979]

were the mounts custom or from another car?

[FWEvilWhiteBoy]

put full cold air instead of short ram...

[G5Pr0ductions]

take out the batter and make room for a turbo!

that would be sick shit..

[OrangePHX]

i don't think anyone turboed a vq35 swap in a sentra..because it doesn't fit..if someone actually did it......think about how fast that shit would go....

[dlee4she]

actually someone did. the vid is on here

[gabb89]

there is on man!! search on youtube u'll see!! turboed VQ35 sentra or something like that

[OrangePHX]

I saw the video of it not moving...I want to see one racing.

[Trav4011]

You'll see that from FI-R very soon.. We actually build cars to race, and not just look pretty/make "woosh" sounds. ;)

[bigbeans224]

Nice setup. How much did the swap cost, and did it just fit right in or did you have to do some modifications to make it fit??

[nflstreet2man]

maxima engine?

[blackjackwabam]

2002-2004 Nissan Altima SER motor i think.

[Crusher103]

they are the same thing, the timing is the only difference between them

[machdesign]

no!

this engine is in Nissan Maxima & 350Z

[BaltimaVQ35]

yeah you shud be right cuz that doesn't resemble the 3.5 under the hoood of my altima.

[nismology]

Bah all FWD VQ's (before the 07 altima) are the same. This one just has a different engine cover.

[BaltimaVQ35]

whats your point they all get 260hp and great torque. what does 07 have to do with anything. 10 more hp is fantastic, i can get that with a cai.

[importroller]

the 07+ gets a rated 270hp VQ, but that is actually an underrated number. Its closer to 290hp if you compare it to the 02-06 HP rating system. My 07 with just intake and a Y-pipe puts down 265whp and 256tq. I have vids of the dyno runs on here

[SlangBladeKilla]

just off curiosity how much did that swap cost? I like the idea of it. trying to figure out how much you got in it and if it is even worth doing

[dbzisstillcool]

there are turbo kits available

[sebbienooch]

i love how travis still makes the full cluster to work... with no codes.

[traxas450]

My 2.5 just blown..is it a lot of fitting to swap to a VQ or it fit well?

[elgafe2]

oye que carrazo tienes te felicito ese sentra esta de muy bien

[DirtyNinja36]

it's an SE-R Spec-V with the VQ swaped in. Soo Soo Sexy!!

The ideal sound Mean

[traxas450]

does this engine fit well in a sentra or you must do some work on it? my 2.5 just blown and I maybe looking for a Vq35

[johnny115377]

that cover makes it look so stock very nice :)

[Trav4011]

No.. this is a Sentra (Spec V), that we swapped a VQ35 into.. with cams, headers, exhaust.. yada yada..

[pundit116]

i heard boosted ka's are notorious for over heating tho

[MortgagemanDP]

VQ swapped that so bad ass. I want to VQ swap my 240sx but it's to much money, building the ka instead.

[nickoudumho]

Nice swap, too bad you cant convert the car to rwd.

[unitvfp]

Soo, bout time for those dyno and track runs?!

[scruffy412]

I love that raw sound

[Trav4011]

Exhaust goes on tomorrow.. Apexi will sound killer with this setup.. :)

[DonKael]

Sounds badass Trav, good work as usual.
