Phoddar Starter Motor and Intake Manifold Gasket Kit for Infiniti QX56 / Nissan Titan 5.6L VK56DE — 2.2 kW PLGR Starter, OE Fit

Phoddar’s 17867 kit is a brand-new starter motor plus intake manifold gasket set engineered to restore reliable cranking and a leak-free intake on 5.6L VK56DE V8 Nissan/Infiniti engines.

This replacement assembly combines a high-performance PLGR starter (12V, CW rotation, 10-tooth pinion, 2.2 kW) with a matched intake manifold gasket set designed for 5.6L VK56DE applications. Each component is manufactured to meet OE fit and function: mounting provisions, electrical interfaces, and sealing surfaces are engineered for direct installation on compatible Nissan and Infiniti models from the mid-2000s. The kit includes one starter and one intake manifold gasket set, and replaces multiple OEM and aftermarket reference numbers (for example 17867, M002T85571, 23300-7S000).

Will this starter fit my Infiniti QX56 or Nissan Titan?

The Phoddar starter is built to match the original starter’s electrical and mechanical specifications for 5.6L V8 applications. Check your vehicle’s engine code and build years to confirm compatibility before purchasing.

• Designed for VK56DE 5.6L V8 engines.
• Compatible models: Infiniti QX56 (2004–2010), Nissan Titan (2004–2011).
• OEM cross-references include 17867, M002T85571 and 23300-7S000.

How does the starter deliver dependable engine starts?

Phoddar starters use upgraded internal components—improved magnets or field coils, sealed bearings, and higher-quality contacts—so the unit provides strong torque and sustained performance under repeated use. Factory-grade assembly and full load testing help ensure each starter meets reliability expectations similar to original equipment.

• 2.2 kW rated output for consistent cranking power.
• Sealed housings and bearings resist moisture and contamination.
• Copper/nickel contacts and premium brushes for longer service life.

What does the intake manifold gasket set include and why it matters?

The gasket set supplies the sealing surfaces needed between the intake manifold and cylinder head to prevent vacuum leaks, coolant seepage, and loss of intake pressure. Using a matched gasket set with the starter simplifies repairs when both starting and intake sealing problems coincide or when replacing aging components.

• Full set sized for VK56DE 5.6L layout—ports and bolt holes matched to OE pattern.
• Materials selected for temperature and chemical resistance typical of V8 intake environments.
• Replaces factory part numbers such as 14035-7S000 and other OEM references.

How straightforward is installation and what should I verify?

Installation follows the same mounting points and electrical connections as the factory unit, allowing a direct swap in most cases. Still, confirm battery voltage, starter alignment, and torque specs, and inspect the intake mating surfaces prior to fitting the new gasket to ensure a secure seal.

• Direct-replacement mounting pattern and pinion tooth count (10-tooth pinion).
• Common starter type PLGR; clockwise rotation standard.
• Inspect and clean mating surfaces and replace any corroded hardware.

Who is this for: technicians, DIY mechanics, and fleet owners who need an OE-comparable starter and intake manifold gasket for Nissan and Infiniti 5.6L V8 vehicles. Choose this Phoddar kit when you want tested electrical performance, durable internal components, and proper sealing for intake ports — all in a single, matched replacement package that supports quick installation and dependable operation.
