VQ35DE/Building Insight?
My name is Adri & I own a 2003 Enthusiast DE Coupe.
I have little to nothing done to my DE but I'm looking to build it from the bottom end up. I'll be happy with about 450-500whp as my end product.
I want to find a way to resolve the oil consumption on my DE & have been researching Catch Cans & oil coolers as well as replacing the PCV valve since I am high mileage.
I would also like to upgrade my transmission for longer gears & to withold abuse. Would the cd009 be a worthy fit?
Also looking for Internals that will reliably hold boost, I was told OEM Compression Forged pistons are the way to go.
Current Mod list:
50mm Test Pipes
HR Y pipe
ISR Single Exit
Mishimoto Radiator
Mishimoto Thermostat
Wishlist: (N/A)
Motor/Boltons:
Forged H-Beam Rods
Forged Wiseco OEM Compression Pistons
1/2" Plenum Spacer
Ported/Polished/Bored Out Lower Plenum
3.5" Admin Tuning Intake (before going F/I)
NWP 75m Throttle Body
Ported/Polished Heads
Drive Train/Tranny:
cd009? (unsure)
Stage 3 Action Clutch
Nismo 1.5 way Dif
LWT Flywheel (Dual mass?)
Constructive Criticism & Insight?
