[CL 8 2WD]

Well my 2006 VK is hurt , runs ok but you can tell something's wrong. I know in 2007 the VK had some changes VCT and it's not a turn key project to swap a 2007 or later VK into 2006 or earlier. I was toying with a performance build but would be 10k plus project. I was cruising the internet and found Driven Desire AKA Brennan Becker, he installs VK's in Xterra and Frontiers including Terribleone's Frontier. I noticed he swapped a later VK in a earlier Xterra ? Well I contacted him, very nice young man he said sure send me the 2014 engine harness I will move a few wires it will be plug-n-play. Well not only did he mod the harness but several sensor connections etc were broken when the engine was removed and he fixed those as well. The harness will be on its way back tomorrow, scheduled to drop off the Titan end of next week. Very excited to drive my Titan with fresh engine! Will update as project progresses. I think Brennan Could be a valuable resource for the Titan community.

Yeah that dude is legit.

Are you bringing over the 2014 ECU into the 2006?

OK Brennan @ Driven Desire modded the 2014 wiring harness and shipped it back and the 2014 VK is in and there were some small hiccups. the 2014 senors are 6 pin the 2006 were 4 pin need to get new sensors. the starter terminal was broken had to use the 2006 starter the 2014 intake was broken had to use the 2006 intake. Joe was to send me a tune with NATS turned off but after I sent him the ECU's info he replied the 2014 ECU was not yet supported and will have to dump the ECU software into a file and send it to Uprev, they will do their thing send it back and we can tune! In the mean time we need to get the truck running check for leaks make sure everything is OK. My mechanic has a guy coming over to program the 2006 keys to the 2014 ECU NATS will update.

dat PRG kit tho

That PRG kit has worked very well 9 going on 10 years , the bottom arm built by Chris Mazzulla and the upper by a guy named Roy builds desert race cars. My Radfo shocks and bumps work great custom valving by PRG Prerunner Greg! Thanks Greg! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

When I decided to ditch the manifolds and install long tubes, I had a similiar issue where my ecu was not supported by uprev. This was earlier this year, maybe Feb-March timeframe. I wouldn't have imagined that the ECU wouldn't be supported on my 2014 in 2017, but I guessed wrong. Uprev was quick to deliver tho, only took 3-4 days as I recall. You must really like that truck, most would just get another! Will be following

I JUST figured out your old username. beach life. lmfao I've seen that since 2010 and it took me till this morning to get it.

 

[gweasel77]

Hey Honda, Beach Life is Kyle from Florida isn't it?

 

[GalaxyPro4X11]

This is great in for more updates.
Honestly though after all that I'd be changing that 2006 intake for an updated intake to get the full benefits of the newer engine.

 

[gweasel77]

IMO the '07+ IM Mod definitely makes a difference after a re-tune!

Yes it's true, BECHYF is CL 8 2WD ?

Yes that is what I've read and I was planing on it but.........will the shorter runners on my 06 IM give me better low end grunt? If so that would be more fun around town and off road! 60 mph max off road , I'm not looking for top end just low to midrange torque. I'm not going to the drag strip , more like short course off road power band.

Yes I love this truck! I love the way it drives , I've upgraded a lot of parts and its paid for! Love that part! I have the pink!

No sir the 08+ intake manifold will yield more torque/horsepower throughout the rpm band. You will notice better low end period with the VVT motor but will be cheating yourself as it was made to run with the newer intake.

I guess I'm looking in the buy/sell section
