VQ35 intake manifold on a VQ30DE, ever done??

VQ'ed · 08-24-2009, 03:56 PM

If never done, why?? if ever done, i might give it a try, i have one in stock with the lower and fuel rails with a return style fuel setup on the rails.

Is it because the VQ35 lower intake to VQ30 heads portings doesn't match??
Explain to me how it doesn't fit, if not!
thanks gearheads!!

Completed '02VI Swap, Dynos inside.

quite a bit of modification required to make it work

Short answer is, the gains might not be great , for a 3.0 the 00vi has been proven to be the best manifold available, no question. So everyone goes with that instead of the 3.5 mani. im sure its been done.

If you went through and ported the ports to match up more closely, it might be worth the effort. Though, it may not prove to be any more beneficial over the 00VI, if any at all.

kevin saw good gains with the 02vi but he never dynoed it with the vias functioning,block off plate installed,or ssimed. im sure it makes good numbers,but i know there was alot of port matching done(not just the lower plenum,but the heads themselves) which prob. isnt worth the time considering the OOVI flows very well.
