my vq35 s14 swap thread pic hevy

[Yellow4g63]

I have a hood kinda like that but I'm sure it's nothing special lol. The air exits out the front and the hood is raised up in the rear and it exit's out rear vents at the very end of the hood. I got it to help keep my engine bay cooler, bad part is it's dirty as shit right now lol. Car was parked in the desert at my friends shop for close to 2 years. It looks like the desert wants to calim my engine bay back lol.

I used their kit. it worked, but still had a lot of work to do on my own. I would have been better off wiring it myself or using the below link

not sure what all measurements they will need. so I grabbed two. from end to end, including EVERYTHING, was 54.75 inches. then i measured again, excluding the yolks, measuring from the welds, and it was 43 inches.

Good sh!t man...

[dudewutup]

UPDATE TIME!! pretty major one


so ive been saving up and buying some goodies, and doing a few other things.

i guess ill start off with a table full of stuff:
strut bars($50), aem dryflow(not pictured $20.80), radiator for the vq ($191 shipped), 15" fan(not pictured $37)


then i decided it was exhaust time so i ordered it and picked up some sway bar bushings

i made a 1off if the isis with my personal touch



now its time to get this thing a little closer to running right? took it over to the local exhaust shop that i deal with (sheas exhaust kershaw sc)

picked the car up this morning boy was impressed with his work, he also made me some solid mounts to help clear everything better. id recomend some new underwear because im about to post real porn!









....
....
here we go!








true dual no x,h,or y pipe, headers back 2.5"!!
he even extended the shorties to make them fit much better!






!!


here is how my hood sits with the motor mounted down tight, keep in mind my front cradle is a little scrwey....



a couple of shots for sexii-zenki




its pretty snug, id recommend having the passenger side header onwhen you pop the engine in.








to be continued...........

[ka-titties]

Have you been reading the thread?

[onehundredoctane]

I spy a Griffin sticker on the radiator, DEF gonna have better cooling than stock with a monster that big!

[dorrifto]

haha my hood sits the same way! good shit man. totally jelly of your true dual exhaust

[dorrifto]

BTW, whats up with one bank smoking but not the other? couldnt tell from the vid, but was that smoke blue? Hope you are not burning oil...

[revcyanide]

Love this build, wish I had more time and cash to finish mine! awesome dude, good idea with the isis exhaust as well.

[turbociv910]

im a little worried about it myself, i just keep telling myself its bad gas or i just spilled a little oil when i had the intake off....im truly worried about it though of course i dont have my o2's or maf hooked up so maybe ill be ok, i hooled the maf up and the smoke pretty much subsided.
