VQ35 Hybrid 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.




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.
No Power Steering or A/C
350Z Exhaust Manifolds Modified to clear steering shaft.
Custom One Piece Steel Driveshaft
Custom Motor and Tranny Mounts
APS Extra Capacity Oil Pan($400+)
B&M STS
Nismo Titanium Shiftknob
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.

Please contact broan@wisc.edu with questions, concerns or inquiries.

Yes. Block is from an A33B. Had less than 50K on it when bought from the yard. I put less than 10 hours on it since assembling in hybrid form.

Yes, I am willing to sell just the engine. After a weekend of no activity on the package as a whole I'm interested in parting out to get the cashflow going in the direction of the LS. I will look at my records when I get home to see how much I paid for the yard motor. I can sell it with or without the APS Oil pan. I'd imagine you guys don't want that oil pan unless ur planning on using this for a RWD project as well. Only thing I can say for sure is that I will want $400 more for the motor if the pan is included.

I will deliver this motor to Chicago but I want COD and will need at least two people there or a cherry picker to lift it outta the bed of my truck.

< I'm in Madtown. I probably won't be getting the actual motor for a year or two because I'm gonna fully tube the chassis with a mockup plastic block before I get the motor. So the prices come down or the LS-6's become affordable. Don't worry I still get my speed kicks. It just comes in the form of two wheels.

Damn it man. If you still have this after I get my tax return back (should it be enough) you may be hearing from me. I have always wanted to make a road trip to WI!!!

Still got it fellas and its tax season now. Possible sale going down on some driveshaft and tranny stuff on Freshalloy. I'm thinking about putting the tranny up on My350 if that comes through.

Sorry for not responding sooner. I'm almost never on here. I'd take $500 for the VQ if you pick it up. Or you can pay shipping. I'd use UPS Freight. They'd be picking up from a business loading dock. Delivering to a business would be significantly cheaper than a residence.

Everything is still up for grabs besides the drive shaft and clutch slave.

Please post all responses and inquires of these items in this thread and to my email at broan@wisc.edu
