Guess what guys Ima gonna have one. My son got me a 240Zed up in Salt Lake and I have 1 extra VH45DE sitting in my shop looking for a place to go, and I've got hold of Arley and ordered another for a spare.
I've been looking at goodies for the brakes and under carriage and well be ordering soon. I want a -9 second street Zed.

now that i look at it... that poor radiator... air has to get through the intercoolers and the oil(?) cooler before hitting it.. hope it's getting enough airflow...

ehh....it should be getting enough air, there is no damn HOOD!!! :lol:

anyways, they probably have a nice hood induction or soemthing to get more air circulating

I'm pretty sure the car is used only for drag... so air getting to the rad. shouldn't be an issue.

You pretty much have to make 'em yourself... VH45DETT is not a real production engine.

The VH45DE comes out of a Q45/President/Cima and puts out a lil' over 300HP stock. Pull it out of those luxo-cars and TT it and you have a monster V8-TT engine that eats Porsche's and Vette's for breakfast.

Wes I can get the engine, transmission wiring harness and computer for $1,000.

To be correct George 340HP N/A and with a good exhaust and intake 400+HP, but if you TT it to 15# boost, 'bout 800HP give or take a few.

340? Are you sure? I can't find reference's to back that up! Not doubting you though, Alberto...

Is that a sponsership thing where you get engines for dirt cheap? And can you get me a VQ30DE with motor mounts and wiring with ECU? I am in no rush on that.

But a VH45DE with VK45DE heads has 352HP. And it's still a stock N/A engine and 100lbs. lighter.

Wooo-hoooo-hooo.:evillol:

dude thats awsome, currently i have a job as a freelance reporter, im going to save up for that lil upgrade, but i like the sound of turbos so id TT it just for sounds.... did you make your own custom exhaust for the VH?

your gonna TT it just for the sound????

are you a crack baby??? your gonna end up shelling out some big bucks so you can here turbos spooling and BOV's....and then spend money on new upholestry because your gonna start having sudden bowel movements in your cockpit...:lol:

haha, well theres really no reason to TT a motor that big, its already supreme, i just want to have the 300zx a respected car and sound cool plus i could get the TT emblem without feeling like a poser and the TT spoiler cause i like those

how is the powerband on a VH compared to a VG, I would guess that the VH has more power at lower rpms because its for torque ...

I think it would be in your best interest if you went back and viewed this video again before you say you want to install a TT kit for the sound. I think unless you install a very quite exhaust you'll never hear the turbo sound. And I think K3 is correct about your upholestry issue. Not only that, you'd better buy some stock in a tire company, as you'll be going through tires like shit through a tin horn.
