aussie4wheeler Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hey guys. Does anyone know how many valves are in my R50 pathy. I believe the VQ35DE motor is a 24V DOHC motor? Is that correct? Also is the VQ35DE in the R50 fitted with Vtec? If it is indeed a 24V motor, does that mean 12 intake and 12 exhaust or 24 of each?

0merta Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Its not vtec, its CVTCS, also known as variable valve timing, It's alot different than Vtec, but is similar technology to an extent. I'm not sure about DOHC. I know some of the sport car Nissans that have the VQ35DE are DOHC but I dont know if Nissan gave that engine to all vehicles. I have a 3.3 so I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie4wheeler Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks Omerta, I figured Vtec was an acronym from honda. I was just told the the VQ35DE has a similar technology. I am doing a full motor rebuild and wanted to order valves today but I don't want to get caught out with too many or too few. Thanks for the input.

hawairish Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The VQ35DE has variable valve timing. Every manufacturer has some silly acronym for it. There are 24 valves, 4 per cylinder. 12 intake, 12 exhaust. Since you are rebuilding, the Factory Service Manual would be an invaluable resource and is available online for exactly $0: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Pathfinder/. Pick your year, download (right click, Save) to a folder on your computer, and that's it. Check the Service Data and Specifications (SDS) section at the end of the Engine Mechanical (EM) chapter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie4wheeler Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Excellent! Thank you hawairish! I almost ordered a hanes service manual last night but a free factory service manual is 1000x better! Hit me up if your ever in Wisconsin or thereabouts and wanna grab a beer on me and go wheeling.

MY1PATH Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 the "DE" in any nissan motor means "DOHC" and "Multi-Point Injection"That being said, there are very few engines (old) that are DOHC and only have 2 valves per cyl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
