Infiniti Nissan VQ35DE 3.5L V6 Remanufactured Engine – 2015-2016

Description

Eradicate variable timing sprocket rattle and oil control ring sticking under 240 lb-ft continuous pulling across severe regional transit corridors through precision diamond plateau cylinder honing in the Infiniti Nissan VQ35DE 3.5L Remanufactured Engine. Built for 2015 to 2016 commercial crossover platforms, this updated 24-valve DOHC V6 powertrain outputs dependable high-speed performance and verified mechanical stamina under continuous transit conditions.

Featuring an open-deck aluminum block with centrifugally cast iron cylinder liners, deck surfaces are milled to Ra 28 micro-inches to optimize head gasket retention. An induction-hardened forged steel crankshaft pairs with forged steel connecting rods and hypereutectic aluminum pistons with molybdenum skirt coatings. Equipped with an aluminum lower bedplate, revised oil control rings, a dry weight of 365 lbs, and a 4.8-quart oil capacity, internal tolerances remain consistent across wide operating temperatures.

Key Features of Infiniti Nissan VQ35DE

Metropolitan fleet maintenance supervisors buy Infiniti Nissan VQ35DE 3.5L remanufactured engine models to eliminate oil consumption and timing rattle while preserving high fleet reliability. Automated cold-spin testing verifies hydrodynamic bearing oil film retention across every single crankshaft journal before transport packaging.

• Continuously Variable Valve Timing continuously optimizes intake camshaft duration across all engine speeds.
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain combustion containment during severe summer heat cycles.
• Upgraded timing chain sprockets and composite dampening guides eliminate cold-start timing rattle.
• Cast aluminum lower block girdle locks main bearing caps rigid under peak acceleration.
• High-pressure internal trochoid oil pump feeds 60 PSI through clear block lubrication galleys.
• Dynamic mass balancing keeps harmonic rotating unbalance below 0.5 gram-inches.
• This Infiniti Nissan VQ35DE crate motor matches factory continuously variable transmission transaxles.

Late VQ Dynamic Thermal Bounds

Engine lubrication maintains 20 PSI at warm idle and stabilizes between 55 and 70 PSI at 3000 RPM cruising speed. Coolant temperature operates from 185°F to 200°F via the primary thermostat circuit. The engine outputs 260 continuous brake horsepower at 6000 RPM and 240 lb-ft torque at 4400 RPM. A 10.3:1 compression ratio yields 175 to 190 PSI cranking compression across all six cylinders. Rated for Severe Commercial Fleet duty, radiator heat rejection reaches 3,900 BTU/min under continuous hauling.

Driveline Mount Crank Flange Details

The rear crankshaft flange uses an 8-bolt flexplate bolt circle machined for continuously variable automatic transaxles. Pilot bore diameter measures 0.826 inches with concentricity verified within 0.0008 inches to prevent torque converter pump wear. Front crankshaft snout measures 1.250 inches with a precision keyway, holding crank thrust endplay within 0.003 to 0.006 inches.

Pre-Lube Setup Operational Limits

Technicians must prime the lubrication channels using an external oil priming container through the oil pressure sensor port before initial starting. Fill with 0W-20 motor oil and clear air from the cooling system using vacuum filling equipment. This powertrain is not engineered for forced induction turbochargers exceeding 5 PSI boost, nitrous systems, or racing competition.

• Check crankcase motor oil level and coolant overflow bottles each shift.
• Change engine motor oil and filter every 4,000 miles or 150 hours.
• Inspect timing chain condition and serpentine belt tensioner every 12 months.

Fleet Warranty Transport Inventory
