  1. I am using cats too because 1 I want my car to get reffed so it will be legal for street use. And 2 ♥♥♥♥ the bullshit 5hp gain at an RPM I will not be in often that also causes dramatic increase in pollution. Honestly there probably would be a lot less modification restriction if we all just kept the cats anyways.

  2. Actually your rod has nothing to do with the stroke of the engine. The crank throw is what determines the stroke. You could have a mile long connecting rod and you would still have the same stroke if its connected to the same crank. What the longer/short rod does for you is it changes rod tangency.

     

     

    while you are right, but only when building your own engines out of skyscrapers. what I said was in reference to a particular block and design that has set dimensions. If you change out the crank on a block for one with a longer throw you would need shorter connecting rods otherwise the pistons would be kissing your valve cover... not literally but definitely there would be contact between the piston and the head if the rod length is not changed.

     

    So yes, the rod does not define the stroke of the engine. But rather the crank throw and the block define the rod. So if the crank changes, but the block stays the same, then the rod needs to change too.

     

     

     

     

    honestly I don't know why I brought it up. I completely misunderstood what they were talking about at the time, I must of finished an overnight shift before I posted and didn't read it correctly

  3. what i'm doing is using the stock 240sx ignition with the maxima(the ecu i'm using) ignition hidden in a safe spot where I can still access and pull the key out of that so that way nats is still used.

  4. shorter stroke/wider bore = higher revs, doesn't it?

     

     

    longer rods = shorter strokes

     

    shorter rods = longer strokes

     

     

    so yes, you two are saying the same thing, just differently.

  5. whoa wait you have an 02 max are you on the .org for maximas?

     

     

    No I have a 96 240sx that I am swapping in a VQ35DE motor and I am using the 02 maxima ecu. and I am on maxima.org, pretty much every forum I am irax there.

  6. Thanks, yeah, I'm still learning the differences in the trannys n such. The ECU/BCM combo will be the hardest part I think. but maybe I'll get lucky..

     

    Where do you find your information on the HR?

     

     

     

    Oh also, The wiring harnesses, Does anyone know if the passenger compartment harness changed between 06/07? I imagine the ECU and BCU are probably paired, so I'll try to find the brains from the same source. but if the interior harness didn't change then it'll be a lot easier to find one.

     

    Anyone know where I can find a 350z FSM?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Phar.

     

    phatg20.net will have fsm... maybe not 08's but should have 05/06 maaybe 07

     

    I would recommend getting getting the wiring diagrams from AHDOL.com thats where i got mine for my 02 maxima since thats the ecu i'm using.
