The most restrictive part for mine was the head gasket. I just welded it
I LOVE THIS COMMENT HAHAHAHA
😂😂
Awesome work as usual G. I've been following Sasha since I imported my V35 in 2010 and his commitment to push the VQ in different areas is unbelievable.
When I start dropping some videos, one of the mods I've always wanted to do is extending the plenum neck.
I've seen the O.G prototype for it and Mike Gardner has it now. I'll be doing back to back testing.
Keep up the awesome content ❤️
Hell yeah man that’s so awesome to hear an og check in!
For the ultimate gains, the neck needs to be at least 3.5 inch in diameter, but fabrication can be expensive, although unique looking piece and the best gains over probably any aftermarket!
@@JoeVazquez
Yeah for sure, I'll be going all out haha.
Bro, when are you tuning your car!
Current computer compensation for your current mods won't be enough and worried you'll lean out.
Either way, your G is an awesome ride 😃
I hand ported and polished the upper and lower plenum. I nearly removed 1/16 of an inch from all the flat surfaces. The Throttle tunnel and 6 intakes was widened and polished. The 6 nostrils were thin out extensively and reshaped for better air flow. I did not cut any supports just thinned and polished. Bottom Line: Seat of the Pants Dyno says better Rev Up to Red Line. This is something that takes a lot of time and patience. You will be rewarded by your hard work.
How do you do that ?
I have a spare engine I wanna build
@@mfn1077 Mostly it's just common sense and a lot of careful hard work. You can use handheld grinders, wire wheel, flap sander wheels, and hand sanding. Remove the material slowly with the different tools. Make sure you don't mar the mating surfaces otherwise you will create a vacuum leak. Being OCD will help you in doing a miticulas job. Expect to spend more than 5 hours if you want professional results. This is something you can't rush.
Drop the upper oil pan when u do the rear main seal. Jamming the new one with out removing the pan, it WILL leak. I know from experience and I don’t think u want to take ur transmission out twice
On De’s definitely have to drop the upper oil pan, luckily on Hr’s that isn’t necessary
I might have to or I might leave it alone haha, I’d rather have a very slow leak than it pissing oil 😭😂
Remember if it’s leaking oil, it has oil lmao
Thanks man super appreciated! Great quick video right to the point.
Helping all us other Gs
Anytime! I’m still not done exploring these cars!!
Bought a 2012 Journey sedan 1.5 months ago. Swapped out the stale stock air filters with K&N pre-oiled ones. Made a nice difference and I always run 93, as 91 is nowhere to be found...
Intake runner spacer for more torque and 2 can be stacked. Extended bolts on McMaster. 3" MAF housing works but the ECM reads 3.5" too
2 stacked spacers would give you high end with drivability issues in the low end, goal isn’t just volume but where the volume goes and eliminating volume where it isn’t needed for better throttle response, the oem upper plenum is not perfect but it’s improving on a piece all of our cars have already
Joe, I really liked what you did with the upper plenum. I did something similar without taking off the posts. I also did the lower plenum in reshaping the horns and making them much thinner. Thus I gained more volume and better aerodynamic flow going into the horns. It definitely made a noticeable difference especially above 4.5 K rpms.
Love the video bro. This is the final thing I’ll be doing to my drag build performance wise. Trying to get deeper into the 12s
Every bit helps when trying to shed off time in that game!
@@JoeVazquez for sure! DEs don’t make a lot of power, so I’ve gutted it completely. It currently weights 2858 lbs
@@josebolanos1148 DUDE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU THATS NUTS HAHA!!
Deeper in to the 12s? What mods do you have??? 😮
Though I didn’t port the throttle neck of my upper plenum, I did sand it down so it’s smooth and not a rough casting….well, a very mild port you could say.
yeah those casting marks are definitely out there haha
Was the sanding worth it?
@@sebastianfigueroa7831 Hard to say, many other factors (spacer, MRev2 DIY, Motordyne exhaust, etc) new before/after my rebuilt VQ35DE RevUp engine; but I can say, it’s effortlessly more powerful than before with my original engine.
Do yourself a favor when you do the rear main, lower the upper oil pan for an easy install. ;)
I plan on taking a spare upper plenum to school (i'm in welding) and welding a 3.25" elbow onto it. But cast aluminum is a different beast, it would need thorough cleaning with Tig rig to burn out impurities & porosity. But I'm seeing a lot of companies cutting those 4 outer bolt sections out, and welding in flat metal, so it seems like it shouldn't be too difficult.
Definitely can’t wait for the tune !! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 I got admin tuned definitely worth it
A lot of people would recommend against changing the rear main seal on these cars unless it’s actually leaking. When you change it out, it will most likely leak soon after doing it.
You know I’ve seen so many people do it and making crazy rigs so that they don’t have to drop the upper pan that I can agree with you on that!
@@JoeVazquez yup! And the seals from factory are good quality so if there’s nothing wrong with it when you’re in there don’t touch it lol
@@EDVQ The DE rear mains are evil.....lmao.
@@ksr0483 lol yessir
@@EDVQ so do you think replacing them if it slowly leaks is worth it? Mine leaks, seems like a slow amount over time. But it adds up for sure.. I’m thinking of replacing it. Thoughts? I’m going to go with a reputable shop around me.
I love having an HR and having practically 0 videos that end up relevant to me XD
Hr gang 🫡
I will do better to be more inclusive to hr’s ❤️
Merlin machining, makes a ls plenum adapter, makes 270whp with stock cats and everything, However is spendy and will require a hood cutout
Pretty cool but yeah definitely spendy
Great video bro! I’ve actually ported a upper plenum for my 350Z just haven’t put it on yet. Would you say it was worth it in the end and have you noticed any issues without it being tuned with the upper plenum ported?
i do think its worth it! mrev 2 + plenum spacer + ported upper plenum + 75mm throttle body + 3.5 inch intake = a very thirsty G35 haha
the car is compensating as much as it can but still runs slightly lean. when tuned itll always run slightly rich at the very least so the car will feel a whole lot better!!
personally i dont have any issues other than a bit of idle surge where the needle jumps slightly but thats normal and will be corrected when tuned!
Blessings to you brother love watching your videos 🙏🏼💯😎
Thank you brotha, love your videos aswell ❤️
Love your car! Love the channel but this is my experience and thought about a vq35de. I put 1320 catless test pipes, z1 ram intake truhart all around, full exhaust i don't remember the name but it's a smooth high rise upper plenum and uprev lower it was a uprev motor and I didn't make more than 30hp more than stock. It was tuned by SOHO Motorsports in NC they are local to me. They gave it all it had it made 270 crank!!!! I was absolutely fed up with it. I spend around 8k in the car from proformace and looks vq35de motors are reliable as they get but you will NEVER make power without going all in and spending at LEAST 13k for a turbo setup and supporting mods! And all that motor will hold is 400! You will need to spend around 35k to make 600 and it keeps climbing That's a FACT!
sad little victim complex, remember some people are dying right now😹
Yep all of this is a waste of time. For 8k as you already know you coulda got a vortech kit and a tune and had money left over and easy made 375 to the wheels. Ive watched and read too much to waste time with any bolt ons or diy mods for this engine.
Add a core charge too your parts so they send there old back to you so you can keep going
Súper dope bro🔥
i appreciate you!!
YOURE AMAZING ILY
Pre ordered my shirt and thank God my g white sheeeesh
Haha hell yeah bro! Thank you so much for the support! ❤️
Try doing a review on the unknown performance ported upper manifold
i still feel like even after porting the manifold itself is still slanted down even with a spacer not much difference wondering if the kinetix v+ although over 300$ is better
I thought the most restrictive part in a G35/350z was the cats? 🤔
My original idea for the title was suppose to have underrated after most and before restrictive but it just didn’t have a zing to it so I dropped it. Cats are well known but I was trying to show what isn’t as popular to talk about and modify
For that message on the shirt up top is it supposed to be "Sunset's Proof" or "Sunsets Prove"? Trying to cop one but also trying to see what you meant by it. Dope shirt regardless and even a doper car.
I can see why people would think that haha
A easier way to understand it is, the sunset is proof, but to make it clean and simple, I just did sunsets proof.
I did the same thing to my plenum but I took out all the inside cones it still idles and runs just fine just since the plenum is pretty hollow now there's a little howl coming from the plenum.
The howl of power baby!!!
I actually have a VQ35HR so I don't think this video applies to me 😅
Interested if you have any upper plenums left!
Yo joe do a tutorial video on changing the headliner black
I’ve been thinking about that! 👀
Agreed , I wanna do it to mine , you do it first joe so I can see how to do it
That doesn't damage a automatic transmission G35 2006?
My lower intake manifold has a leak. N my 04 G coupes overheating 😥
kinetix has the same thing for $300
I don’t believe they ported out the neck though! Looks to be the same thing as oem
Will you help me or anybody I’m tryin to see what is the plastic cap or whatever it is on the top plenum trying to powder coat it my self but I’m worried to break it or how to remove it
Kinda unrelated but, what tire size are you running? (Assuming you're not using the stock 225/245)
i am actually! i dont have a valid reason to go any skinnier or have a different tire size!
Too this day I still have that logo on my thigh !
LEGEND I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!
@@JoeVazquez if so too this day the company owns me haha 😂
What’s the link
Of the video for the plenum restriction
How the intake holding up
I am almost thinking about making a buisness selling these for people. Can get used plenums for around 100 bucks, I can polish and weld them ... hmmmm
Hey, let me know when you get one; if you can do an upper and lower plenum where both are ported, polished, and welded then I’d be interested and I could send you my stock one back as part of the negotiation agreement with the pricing for your labor to do so. I’m in South Florida, what about you?
I spot an OSHA Violation🤣
🤣
I have a question?
I have a 2006 G35 sedan and so far I changed the catalytic converters,A/T FR/B solenoid,Transmission Temperature sensor, fresh transmission fluid and filter, MAF , APPS, new battery, and new brake pads, plus fresh oil change and filter. My car symptoms are slip & vdc lights are on at the same time as the check engine light, late gear shifts, hesitant to accelerate from complete stop, RPMs are hesitant when pedal is fully depressed (very sluggish rev ups), reduced power, delayed response when stepping on gas pedal. Ive done the idle relearn procedure many times but its not sticking. Im lost , HELP!
Hi, I also have an 06 G35 sedan like the one in my profile picture, and it sounds to me like you have a engine sensor issue. Did you scan the computer with an OBD scanner? If not, or you don't have one, most auto parts stores like Advance Auto and O' Reillys will usually scan your car for free. It sounds like it is either a crankshaft position sensor or one of the camshaft sensors. I know because my G35 sedan has literally turned off while driving before b/c one of the cam sensors was on its way out. I also had slip, vdc and a check engine light from the cam and crank sensor issue. I hope this helps :)
Spot on darkman
@@daskamu Thanks daskamu
O2 sensor ?
You need to do a computer reset by unhooking your battery for 10 minutes either side and check your fuse for your anti-lock brake system which is under your hood by your battery it may be broken this causes the slip light
Do have any intakes left for 350z
Anyone do anything about the stupid high revs on the highway? 7th gear in the 2012 is a .77 O/D which is DUMB with a 3.36 axle ratio. At 2k RPMs, the car is only going 61mph, which is PATHETIC for a modern-day V6 with 7 gears, 2 of which are O/D. Any way to just change the 7th gear ratio to a .68 which would lover revs by close to 400?
Unfortunately 3.3 is the lowest ratio, I definitely get the frustration
@@JoeVazquez ill swap out the overdrive .77 with a .68. Leave the 3.36 out back
I took my alternator out. It was very restrictive.
It be like that bro
Had to get a shirt! It’s perfect 🫣
Thank you for the support brotha! ❤️🙈
wtf seacliff the local slide spot, sucks they put speed bumps
DID THEY REALLY?!!
@@JoeVazquez yes bro I went last tuesday, they ain’t that bad tho you can slide in between them
Dam dude people complained enough to put speed bumps haha
@@JoeVazquez THEY ADDED PARKING CURBS TOO😭
Yoooo 😭😭😭
how we get this kit in ebay or where ?
Are you running it with no plenum spacer?
I still have the plenum spacer installed along with the new upper plenum!
Noice👍
Hey Joe, I'm wondering if $600 for porting all the plenums from lower, mid and upper is worth it?
For all 3 I’d say so, you can always do it yourself for that same price and now you’re gonna have the tools forever but the convenience of not getting metal dust all over you and long hours is nice haha
@@JoeVazquez yeah guy says it'll take him about 2-3 days for it all but will be finished by then. Did you feel a bit of power out of it or more than you imagined?
I don’t have ported lower or mid but I felt a difference with the upper!
@@JoeVazquez You did upgrade to a mrev2 though I saw your video a while ago and it's supposedly better than stock but not exactly sure.
It’s very minimal shaving to the front two top portion of the runners but other than that, it’s the exact same, you can literally do the same thing with a flap disc for like 10 seconds on each runner and it will look and perform the exact same haha
sombody told me that you can take the HR plenum and put it on the Revup engine, is that true? just a bolt on supposedly...
No, you can't put an HR plenum on a DE. The HR plenum is similar (if not the same) to the VHR plenum on the VQ37 motor. It has 2 intake holes, one on each side and is made of plastic. It would not bolt up at all.
@@DarkMan2555 thank you for clarifying that, guess i was lied to, figures
@@kayoeldiiablo5273 You're welcome. Either that or the person just doesn't know anything about VQs
Darkman Is correct, it would not be possible unless you wanted to find a way to wire two throttle bodies in parallel and deal with the ecu freaking out haha 😂
@@JoeVazquez In that case, you might as well prepare for a VQ37VHR engine swap, which is NOT easy on a G35 or just buy a 370z/G37 lol
🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
🙏🙏🙏
@joevazquez Still have any plenums available?
Yes message me on instagram! @thejoevazquez
When You modified the plenum was necessary to do the tune, becasu My G35 is boosted but I would like to do this because some issues with the bolts
first thing I would do is get rid of that exposed cone filter that is sucking in hot under hood air..
The stock airbox is in the same position and is an open element filter there’s no difference in intake temps by installing a pod filter on these cars
@@jaydehart2170 I have a VQ35DE 6 speed Maxima and I ended up switching back to the stock air box with a custom snorkel that goes down under the car due to under hood temps. on hot central Florida days the hot air under the hood would effect engine performance with a basic open element filter under the hood. I also ditched the engine cover and insulation on the under side of the hood to help with under hood temps...
@@uptownsamcv what does that insulation do ? I was thinking of removing mine but didn't wanna mess anything up
@@sirspeedsalot it just reduces the sound coming from under the hood.
@@uptownsamcv wow that's it 🙃 that shits coming right out as soon as I get off work today .
When did joe go down to sea cliff wth
Come with me next time
@@JoeVazquez let the gram know and ill be there
is ur the G tuned ?
Haha not yet, couple finishing mods
@@JoeVazquez how long u can run it without tune, i assume a soon as possible
I've been thinking of cutting off those plenum support posts in the middle for years, didn't bother tho...
There’s other mods I’d do before doing this, it’s a good topper mod similar to what a lightweight driveshaft is in that regard! Doing the upper plenum just maximizes everything else around kinda how working out everything not just one part of your body!
NO 3X'S? like i get im big but c'mon.
I updated the website JUST for you, let’s gooooooo!! 3XL is now an option to choose from
@@JoeVazquez thanks, it'll be preordered in just a few min
Of course man, I try my best to be inclusive! My bad on that one brotha!
bruh I wanna sell my g now
I’ll give you everything I have in my pocket for it
👌👍
🙏🙏🙏
DO NOT start porting and chopping up your plenum and weld..lol Bro didnt even get tune yet 🤣 could of saved that cheap do it yourself by gettn a plenum spacer.
Have a plenum spacer already my guy, and it’s about maximizing the parts you have already. They do add power whether you believe it or not
@@JoeVazquez We did this port before yrs back..No gains on dyno, I even got to see the Cosworth performance plenum..No gains, it performed worse. The Tune is the real big gain difference on N/A.
Those shirts are 🔥🔥🔥
There’s dyno proven videos and info by actual reputable shops and people so I cannot believe what you say I’m sorry. I know people with ported plenums personally and it made a difference on their dyno before and after aswell. It’s a known problem that Sasha tried solving with different ways. Is this the best version, no but it’s using what you already have, keeping it oem looking in case you live in California, and opening up everything on the inside
Nope, talk to any tuner or person that has actually built one up and they're gonna say nope. Blocked so I don't have to see this lying, baiting, garbage.
I literally referenced one of the best tuners in the g35/350z vq35de community, he made wayyy over 320whp N/A on a de with stock internals besides cams. I simply relayed the information onto everyone :)
