    Time has come to sell my powertrain.

    After a long hiatus from the VQ Powered S13 world I've decided to go ahead w/ the LS1 swap. So its time to put this powertrain up 4 sale.  Its been a long hard road to come to the conclusion that the VQ is not for me.  I need more power because I'm a freak of nature.  This exact motor package as it is put down the following dyno.  The lack of peak power is due to the fact that its breathing through the A32 upper and lower manifold.  The A32 IM is very restrictive up top for even the VQ30.  With the correct IM this VQ35 would put down somewhere in the 230wheel range with minimal tuning.  I have the correct top feed injectors to complete the setup but not the TB or actual IM. 

    Broaner's 1989 Nissan 240SX Madison, WI - 283 var adTarget; adTarget ='/site=dictionary.com/area=search/aamsz=728x90/keyword=hiatus' +'/pageid=' + aamPageId +'/random=' + aamRndNum; document.writeln(''); turn_ad_publisher = 1101377; turn_ad_publisher_ad_code = 3482130; turn_ad_layout = "728x90"; turn_ad_publisher_channel = 3482122;

    • Z33 6Spd Tranny w/ less than 30k(Bought from yard for $800)
    • A32 ECU and Modified Harness
    • A32 Slightly Lightened Flywheel
    • Polished VQ30 Timing Chain Cover.
    • ACT Stage I Clutch(Less than 5K on)
    • TOB Spacer to adapt Z33 TOB to A   
    • Hybrid VQ35DE Swap(VQ35 Longblock with VQ30 Timing Chain system) 
    • Unorthodox Racing Underdrive Pulley.
    • Custom 2" True Dual header dump pipes with Magnaflow 2" flowthrough mufflers.

    • 350Z Exhaust Manifolds Modified to clear steering shaft.
    • Custom One Piece Steel Driveshaft
    • Custom Motor and Tranny Mounts

    This setup will bolt in but will require modification of the sway bar mount and the shifter hole.  The package is not entirely buttoned up and will need some creativity but it is certainly an good assemblance of parts.  Asking $2500.  Will deliver within 300 miles of Madison, WI.  Will deliver further for $.46/mile.
