I would like to swap the altima v6 se-r motor into my 2004 sentra se-r. If anybody can help me find this type of motor and what other information i need to accomplish this swap.

Well, the motor you're looking for is the VQ35DE, and they're still pretty damned expensive. Plus I'm pretty sure it won't even fit in a little Sentra. The QR25 is already stuffed in there pretty good.

HA! revolution autoworks dropped a VQ35de into a 05 spec and it fit like a glove, you have to pull the engine to do any work on it though, all you need is custom motor mounts, a right drive axle from a b15 SE and a radiator from the SE as well....they are working on the parts and will sell it as a swap kit, you will pay extra for the motor

NICE, that's awesome.

Actually, Forced Induction Racing dropped a VQ35DE into a Spec V for John from Rev Auto.. ;) And FI-R is working on a swap kit.. I am allowing Rev Auto to sell my kit as well.

no fender or firewall 'modification'? thats surprising.
the vq is wide as hell. even the z is cramped

my bad travis, i posted that when i saw it in a rev autoworks car, for all of you who dont know him, turbob15sentra is our resident dr frakensentra, guy is amazing with b15's

thats crazy, wouldn't you just rather put in a sr20det. im thinking that it would be cheaper maybe?

yeah but if you gots the dough, id rock the vq sentra over pretty much any other motor swap

vq35 would school the sr20, turbo on mild boost and 100 shot you have yourself around 400whp, both of which the vq will handle easily, then build the internals and crank the boost up and youve got yourself a sentra that will pull vipers from a roll......making that much power out of a sr20 is possible but very expensive and time consuming

holy sh!t. now im scared of vq equipped sentras...

fuck nitrous. get the hks twin turbo kit, build the internals, valvetrain, raise the rev limit to 9k or so and boost around 12 psi, youll walk ferraris

you guys make me smile.... the VQ is a wicked engine for sure...

travis was walking me through a full engine build pistons rods cams retainers everything, and a turbo kit, deliberatly told me to throw in a 100 shot, the vq eats nitrous like candy anyways, youre looking at like 650whp, if you could run the boost up pretty hard youd prolly even beat that, its a nasty engine to be putting in a go-kart like frame

and about how much does one of these engines cost? im interested in it more than an sr20det now. but i dont understand how the turbo is going to fit in the engine bay along with the FMIC(well, if you decide to go that way..IMO i would)?without modification to the engine bay?

the engine drops in, with the help of some custom mounts, i didnt think the turbo manifolds would fit but i guess if the headers will, then the turbo manifolds would have to, FMIC woundt be any harder than a stock qr25...........travis quoted me 1800 on a 03 vq35 engine with 18k miles on it, mind you that you are looking for a maxima engine, not a 350z engine, although you COULD swap in 350 internals and ecu

A B15 with a VQ35 would be INCREDIBLY fast with no power mods at all. Even still, a non-turbo, fully bolted VQ would be more than enough to walk pretty much any common supercar you can think of. 350hp in a Sentra can do some damage to any vette, cobra, or viper.

Thanks guys.. The engine looks like it belongs in the car.. It's amazing.. No mods to the car at all to make it fit in. A single turbo could be made to fit.. 400whp at 8psi on pump gas..

Oh.. here's a few more pics..

Just have to finish up the wiring, exhaust and intake.

looks good. i wish my car had it....if i did that i would need a tranny swap as well. too bad since idk what im actually going to do, find a cheap spec v for like 9k and swap, or do the swap in my se and tranny swap. if VQs are so cheap, then y does every one go for the sr20det?

no one knew the vq would fit......

and sr20 is waaay the hell easier to swap, lighter, easier to find(which may change once more maximas get used)
ect.

No way in hell you'll swap a SR20 into a Spec V for less than 3500.00. It aint happening... been there, done that. And the SR20DET is about the same price as the VQ35DE. It takes a LOT more stuff to do a SR swap.. the right way.

Travis

i like the fasct you added..the right way. but wouldn't the sr20 spank the vq if you put both in stock? i thought that the v6 would weigh more than the average sr20det?

lol hell naw, vq weighs about 50 pounds more than the qr25 which is negligible, relocate the battery to the trunk and put on a carbon fibre hood and youve got the stock weight balance back

have you ever layed eyes on a VG30DETT engine compartment before? It looks alot like that. tight for the fingers.......

.....ive heard about the vg30dett, i think we might have to pull the vq to work on it due to lack of space, but it will fit!!!!

You said it. hit the nail on the head...

but hey ,it's your swap do what you wish. and have fun in the mean time.

A stock VQ will spank a stock SR20DET in a B15. And, the VQ35 weighs about the same as a SR20DET.. The VQ35 puts down 215whp/220wtq stock.

what do you need besides...ummm SR mounts? i cant think of anything...you should be able to get axles, ecu, harness, ect. from a B15 SE. not sure if the mounts would work also but it seems like an easier job than that too me. maybe im forgetting something...

You have to get the following

B15 SE brackets (have to be drilled out of SE chassis)
B15 SE motor mounts
B15 SE crossmember
B15 SE entire front Subframe
B15 SE shifter rods and linkages
B15 SE shifter and mount brackets
B15 SE radiator
B15 SE transmission
B15 SE driver and passenger axles
B15 SE hubs
B15 SE guage cluster
Misc B15 SE wiring
B13 ECU harness
B13 ECU or BBDET
Your choice of SR20DET (BB, Avenir, or GTI-R)
Clutch and flywheel
Downpipe
3" exhaust
FMIC and piping
Walbro 255lph pump
Fuel return line and canister from a B15 SE
Blow off valve
MAF sensor from B13 or Z32.. or whatever you plan to run


Now, if you can find all of that, and get it installed for under 5K.. then, please, tell me where I can send my vehicle. I've done this swap.. it's not fun at all.

lol ok quadruple post.
and damn i didnt know the whole engine bay was different. lol nm then id get the vq any day of the week
or something id do...vk56 :devil:

wow a lot of the same post, but n e ways what would you need for the vq swap? like parts wise?

hey I think you need what is posted above for starters.
