Out Of Puff...2l Turbo Vs 3.5l Na

[Touge Kyousou]

do what i did ...STROKE it 221RWKW NA power ready for forced induction and the cost ... 8500 incl labour mind you the weakest thing in VQ35DE is the Harmonic balancer .. like the RB26's .. it uses the same style... my mods are not wild all it is is a forged rebuild with CP flattop pistions , apr harmonic balancer, cam is standard , billet cam gears. My auto is on the way out soon to SA for a rebuild and a 3500rpm stall converter , unfortantly i cant afford a TT install at the moment otherwise id do it in a heart beat.. im running a autoronic ecu copgybacked to the stock one just controlling Air / fuel and timming curves

If you have the VQ35HR dont bother stroking it or forced induction i have heard they dont respond to well to either of the things ..

More details please Pm me if you'd like. Cheers.

should have bought the 4 door V35 (aka Maxima)

Wouldn't the 4 door V35 be a 4 door V35 (which is still RWD), rather than a FWD J31?

Did you go with the 3.8L or the 4.2L stroker kit???

just swap in a vq30det from a gloria/cedric and lightly mod it and you will have enough room for improvement then simply trying to increase displacement everytime its not enough power.

3.8L stroker kit ..as the 4.L litre requres a totally different bottom end preferbly tomei in turn its alot of more cash !

i will post up more details once i get my gearbox sorted

53XYN, I look forward to it.

I've been toying with the idea of an all-motor build. Do you mind if I ask which workshop built your motor?

Godzilla motorsports built my motor as Marks mate has 3 1000hp TT drag motors his using in his drag car.. so he knows about the VQ motor pretty well

How much is that going to cost, vs getting a TT kit for the VQ35DE?
