Vq35 Enquire

[REAL GT]

What is every-ones opinions on the past and current skyline engine.I for one regard the VQ35 engine as a much more sophisticated engine and am sure it will be a much more powerful power plant to extract HP from.

I think the vq35 engine has a lot more potential to make more power

than the rb26 mainly because the vq35 engine is v6 configuration compared to the inline rb26.

They are making about 1800 hp with the vq35 engine in the states an

thats only in early development stages

You do understand that your point makes absolutely no sense? A V-configuration is inferior to a straight configuration: a V is a compromise to try and improve packaging options.

The main reason for "more potential" is in fact the much greater displacement and newer tech.

Stock for stock in a standard Nissan (so excluding the 500hp Z-Tune RB26DETT and the stupidly expensive 450hp VQ35DE that Nismo makes for racing) I'd take the VQ35DE.

Same power (approximately), more torque, smoother power delivery, and probably the same weight (if not lighter, due to its all alloy construction, lower componentry count and more compact design).

If you're talking about a base for modification, the RB is a known quantity. People are still developing the VQ, which hasn't really been used in a performance application for that long.

I just can't get into the V design.. that has been one thing the GTR has always had an inline 6... V12 i can understand.. (imagine a inline 12.. )

None the less the VQ is a good engine.. but I still like the RB more.
