VQ Swap into my B13!

sc2pwr · Oct 25, 2009

Well the VQ35DE Spec-V is cool but I'm really a b13 guy. The spec-v needs some work here and there and I have a NON rusted 92 Sentra XE 5 speed. So now I'm going to drop my complete VQ35DE swapped Spec-V setup in the b13. I will post pics as I'm going. Its going to be a tight fit that's for sure from what I got from measurements but should work. I'm also going to stay N/A. The b13 when done should weigh around 2250-2350 pounds. I'm already making 262 whp. I'm going to do heads and cams when the engine is out. I will be converting lot over from the Spec-V like the full wiring harness and Cluster.

Is there anyone else out there with a VQ35DE swapped B13?

Yea but its not a swap thats un-realistic. I have a plazma cutter and a a couple welders. And I love to FAB!

. I did the VQ swap in my b15 myself also.

this is goig to be rough man. not to mention nowhere near practical and downright scary. I LOVE IT! brilliant idea, I can believe no ones tried this yet

That sounds like a great plan. Ha.

I read that other guys thread, and I saw him mention he was going to use a 350Z's ECU. How would that work if it's RWD? or would it not matter at all?

sc2pwr · Oct 25, 2009

The timing map is diffrent. You have to swap pins in the ecu to work. I have no idea if the ecu looks for diffrent signals tho cause its rwd...

Subscribing -- this is going to be amazing.

How heavy is a B13 2 door, 22-2300? I think a VQ35 is going to be very dangerous with the torque steer. Not too mention very very front end heavy. Maybe a VE30DE is a better way to go?

Regardless, good luck to you.

Any progress?

Yeah. Seeing B13 makes me miss my old '92 E. Slow as crap, but I still love that car...
