Does anyone know of any sleeve manufacturers coming out with anything for the VQ35DE? I'd like to get a block out of a wrecked Nissan and start building it.. ideally with ductile iron sleeves to close the deck. Darton has an interesting "Modular Integrated Deck" solution, which would also be nice. Anybody have any info, thoughts, or other suggested places to look?

 

I dont know about anyone having plans to do it I'm sure that somebody will... GE would probably be my choice those guys have run absolutely amazing boost on som of those sleeves... anyways I'm with you though I would love to get another engine and start building too

One word, Aebs. But ready to drop the loot for em. Mine's over there, getting sleeved and decked.

 

I would still go with GE they have had cars run 60 psi I understand that you will probably never boost that high but... the ones for my H22 were only $850 which is aa hell of a lot cheaper for the same or better quality stuff

how much are they charging for it? Let us know what you think when you get it back, I've heard good things about GE, Darton, and AEBS. I have some time before I'll be ready to get it done, but opinions from people who have actually had the work done are invaluable.

Hopefully I can do it in 2 years or so. A VQ35 at 20psi of boost will be a beast. We'll see if the tranny and diff can hold it.

 

Well, AEBS is good for about 60 pounds also, 55+ so they say, still, who the hell is going to ever boost that much Reason I went with AEBS, is because the other people I'm working with, my tuner, has said great things about them, and so have a few others I know, plus, they are decking the block, so no open block. Price, alot, more then I wanted, but it's a custom job, so what are you going to do. We'll see how it goes, I'll have pics of this whole mess when it's done, but I will see the block when it's ready to be put back in, I want to check the work out myself.

 

would you mind PMing me with the actual cost? I'd like to evaluate various builders, and cost obviously factors in heavily..

thanks, and can't wait to see the pics.
