well, the guy who does the vq35 swaps for the sentras finally figured out a way the have no cel, so i plan on shipping my car down to louisana in a month or so. it takes about 1 month to complete the swap…
included with the price is i/h/e, and i am going to get a set of jwt cams also installed while the engine is out, plus i will it tuned. With all said bolt-ons, it should be in the 260whp range or more…also, all engines are less then 25k miles, so they are fairly new…

So how much does it cost for the swap? And I hope you are going to beef up the front suspension once you add like 200+lbs to the front end haha.

it costs almost the same to swap in the vq35 as a sr20…plus the vq35 makes more power stock. the cost of the swap is around 4500.00, plus any bolt ons i want besides i/h/e. that is incuded in the price. i am getting jwt cams.

I know Travis and he does some pretty good work on these so I think you’ll be happy with the results. The VQ35 in a B chassis is a very neat swap and you’ll be capable of running high 12s/low 13s on slicks before adding boost or juice.
I wouldn’t mind putting a VQ into my P11 someday.

i seen a video of a b13 with the vq35, it was sick, also there was a awd b13 someone did.
but travis does great things with theses swaps, i cant wait…he has gotten a few of them over 300whp…but thats a lot more $$…i am thinking just gett he swap, get used to driving that, and see what happens…

i will when its done, he posts pics throughoutt he build, so i will post pics of that. as for springs, a lot of guys running the same coilovers with the swap have no issues with the suspension. it is only around a 100 lb increase, as the battery might get moved to the trunk
