I want to use whatever ECU I can that still allows me to use the VTC. I don't really care past that. As long as I can get the engine in the bay and running like it does in a Z/G then that's fine. Beyond that I'll go stand alone with a different harness.

any updates?

irax · 03-27-2009, 12:05 AM

super secret update coming up pretty soon.

rb25crazy · 04-05-2009, 03:12 PM

where's this super secret update??? =D just wondering

mrflip69 · 04-05-2009, 03:40 PM

I hope that update includes "BAR'd" or "REF'd"

SuicidnS13 · 04-05-2009, 03:46 PM

So a usdm vq swap thats newer than our cars could almost be considered legal?

Homer_Simpson · 04-05-2009, 04:53 PM

If I can take it to the ref to make it legal then hell yes I would ditch the SR for a VQ.

I don't even know what it is yet. Juan is keeping it a surprise.

I am hoping that it means that the wiring is done.

fuck yes that would be hot!

DreamN · 04-06-2009, 02:22 AM

Stop with the teasing and show us a fucking legal swap already! I have money, make me spend it! LOL

irax · 04-06-2009, 12:41 PM

i have the FWD kit, its ready but i wont release it just yet until at least we have one of the ecu's wired up and running right.

Ablack92hatch · 04-13-2009, 07:00 PM

Any word yet?

irax · 04-13-2009, 11:22 PM

Like I said, we have a FWD kit right now so if you want it let me know. We are wiring up the the beast as we speak.

irax · 04-14-2009, 07:26 AM

LOL!

finished product!

Warning... Juan is fucking awesome!... he's never this mean i just made this because of this picture of me and him... he looks like the card crusher guy

ok enough of OT sorry guys! I just thought it would be funny to share :-D!!!!!

Just for reference so you guys know..

Juan is the Mexican Card Crusher Guy

just by looks only though

bardabe · 04-14-2009, 10:35 AM

LOL ^^^^ that's what 4 rounds of beer pong and some shots will do to yah but yes guys i am working on wiring right now, to be able to keep the Nats and BCM. =) eta will be a surprize.

irax · 04-14-2009, 03:16 PM

fuck that was a good night!

bardabe · 04-15-2009, 12:36 AM

Guys. im working on the wiring for this car / VQ35 swap. keeping the Stock ECM NATS and imobilator is a pain in the ass shit ton of work. but tell you its going to be worth it. I have been spending the last couple MONTHS going through the FSM and other variable sources and now I'm just going through Zilvia. sorry i haven't updated you guys but i don't want to spread any miss information.

Taking care of customers cars, looking up a completely new swap, making mounts and making it all come together while still making money for bills and keeping track of things is very overwhelming, but don't loose faith or get desperate. I'm working very hard and I will tell you guys This swap mechanically is very doable as you will see very soon. the wiring is the main part that is just something completely different. not your average / typical engine swap. I do plan to make the wiring available to the public as i will do the wiring services for other people. however DIY is not so friendly. I have many years of experience and it's giving me a hard fuckin time. but I will handle it and make this dream a reality. I appreciate all of you guys for being very patient with me. I appreciate IB for being patient but we all know this is worth it. being able to keep the stock ecm and make it work properly will be something new.

I know several people have tried the DIY and failed miserable on the wiring. and i can understand why. but fear not my friends a solution is coming. i don't have a time or ETA at the moment. like said earlier this wiring job is at a whole new level. but it is being worked on and will be available to the nissan comunity soon.

any questions be sure to Post them up or PM me.

-Juan

ichibans13.5 · 04-16-2009, 10:12 PM

sounds good cant wait for a finished product!

unlegendary · 04-18-2009, 12:26 AM

get her done, son!

bardabe · 04-18-2009, 12:03 PM

Here is an idea of what the under dash wiring alone looks like. its almost like nissan didn't want us to tamper with it. making it so hard on us.

irax · 04-22-2009, 11:44 PM

with our kit it doesn't lower the crossmember so you can be as low as matt power drift hour!

Team DET · 04-23-2009, 12:35 AM

This has to be the sexiest comment in this thread. If anyone doesn't know how low Matt Powers is, look him up!

SuicidnS13 · 04-24-2009, 04:33 PM

So roughly how much do you think your rwd kits are going to be IRAX?

deolio · 04-25-2009, 11:16 PM

irax · 04-26-2009, 07:59 AM
