Hey guys this is my baby i think this had a engine swap whats your thoughts?

 

[Tritton]

Looks good. Can't tell with the engine cover on. Take it of, and take a pic of the plaque on the engine up front.

 

[Soulfly]

Where do i find the plaque?

 

[Tritton]

To the right of the header, where the metal pipe is that sends coolant to the firewall. Right above that pipe.

 

[Soulfly]

This is the one

 

[Tritton]

Well it looks like the correct motor. Maybe someone just put on an altima engine cover. 🤔

 

[Soulfly]

well i know my headers are plastic no the iron ones and the header had no cat because i was scared of the issues of the butterfly screws and i have some japanese stickers

 

[Soulfly]

and my question is this plastic intake manifolds still have the screw problems?

Image(s) of the manifold.

From the engine bay pic it looks like the stock manifold(aluminum) just painted, all plastic manifolds are from the econd gen motors and need an adapter and the qr20 manifolds the in the mount lower.

 

[Tritton]

Yeah, post some close ups of the manifold.

The plastic ones do not have butterfly valves. They are designed for different flow.

 

[Soulfly]

this is the ones

 

[CrickiKaze]

That's a qr20 manifold that I forgot about as they are rare to see...

 

[Soulfly]

Soo that means im ok with butterfly screws? and I also have a p1800 code that i read online about it and i change the solenoid and still have the code and I guess the old manifold had some other part that this intake doesnt have? thats why i still get the check engine light on? even after i install a new solanoid?

 

[Tritton]

Technically you just need to have thay plugged into the harness. Mine isn't plugged into the other part. I took that out and just left that plugged in, and don't have any codes for it.

And correct, no butterfly valves.

 

[Soulfly]

Maybe amazon cheap shit ?

 

[Tritton]

Junkyard?

 

[Soulfly]

i bough one new from amazon, put it on, went away then popped out again

 

[CrickiKaze]

Color of the valve is wrong compared to what I've seen. That one might flow different or requires a different voltage.

 

[Soulfly]

thats the one that came out of the car

Good day to you all and best, I have had my rodeos with AMAZON, eBay, and CarID parts I’m unsure on that? Nissan sources parts based on VIN and production date but their prices are high.

Honestly and foremost this is not a USDM plastic engine too cover, nor is this a USDM intake manifold, nor is that a US usage NGK sticker kilometres is not a commonly used unit of measure in America and lastly nobody would import these parts (ITM, Decorative Cover, cylinder head) from Japan pay outrageous shipping prices and insane duty for no racing benefit when these are readily all over the US at any local junkyard…?

Sadly I am calling QR20DE here despite the stamping on the block. If SR20 there are Benefits by adding JDM parts DET head on an N/A block for increased flow rate but with QR this is not the case…

May if all else fails have the car placed on a fog machine and note JDM motours may not / do not have same smog control devices as USDM computer is designed to detect even if all is found plugged in there could be variables like mentioned above like a sensor vacuum may flow opposing direction so cheers to you always.
