Im going to be putting the VQ35 out of a maxima into my sentra soon and was wondering if anyone knew what pistons and rods are the best for this motor. I am going to go FI and want to push 18-20 PSI. if anyone could tell me what rods and pistons are good for this build it would be great. thanks

Talk to the 350Z/G35 guys, it's the same pistons and rods. Not too many forced induction guys here on the Maxima forum.

A few friends are running Cosworth stuff, but at $17,000 for all the Cosworth parts for a VQ35DE I assume that's a smidgen more than you wanted to spend.

20 PSI is probably gonna be a little excessive for a VQ on stock internals.

20psi is going to be pushing it for the front tires, transmission, differential, fuel system, nevermind the engine.

Given that 7-9psi is already 450whp with stock compression... getting 450whp to the ground is going to be a big enough challenge, 600-50whp oughta be entertaining as hell to watch and even more fun to drive.

Moved to the 350z forum but you may want to post in All Motor or FI sections as well.
