The 350z's VQ35DE Motor. ( High HP )

[VQuick]

Yeah, they have twin turbo 3L VQs.

[Mr.350Z]

Quick question, im looking to spend about 7k on a twin turbo anyone got any inside info on what works best on a Z currently? (this is for stop and go drving, just want a little more acceleration...one more thing ive got an AT.)

[georgez]

Were could one start looking for information about this particular engine. Interest is in details, specifications. I have a plan to "balance and blueprint" but need a "map" to start with. Thanks.GZ

Zgringo thnx for the awsome post about the engines. Cleared many things up for me.

Mr. 350Z in responds to your twin turbo question...I have heard that Greddy turbo is pretty good for just regular street driving ( Stop an Go ). If you haven't already check it out. O and I heard this one other austrilian company is making a twin turbo kit also making a little bit more power then the Greddy. I heard it can handle more pressure then the Greddy turbos also. I believe the company is called ProjectS or something like that. Let me find out the information more clearly and I will post it up.

500rwhp, maxed out, probably not street legal. Probably 350-450rwhp for street legal though.

I had kinda forgotten that VQs have iron cylinder liners. Maybe that explains how a guy with a VQ30 Maxima got 538fwhp on stock internals. If you want lots of FI power from your Z, just get stronger rods and low comp pistons and you should be good to go.

Certainly wasn't a 350Z forum. The only 350Z that is making that kind of power is the Performance Motorsports 350Z, and it has ~1400hp, and the only thing that isn't upgraded on it, is the crankshaft and intake plenum (although it was only using Darton sleeve liners).

The JGTC 300 series 350Z's are N/A VQ35DE's.
The JGTC 500 series 350Z's are VQ30DETT's.

Neither really pertain to this conversation.

Total? Or just for the kit? I would suggest GReddy with all of the goodies (fuel system, c&c angle sensor wire, etc., etc.) or APS.

What is offered for those of us who have a need for the stupid amounts of power it would take to start blowing block doors off cars such as the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 ( my last car ) or the corvet Z-06..?

Superchargers, Turbos, Twin Turbos ( such as the peope at Car V2 have put together http://carv2.com/site/project_detail.cfm?id=247 ), Block build ups...

I am personally looking for a VQ35DE block to build into a high HP engine to drop into my Z. When i say High HP, I'm talking about dropping the compression ratio, stroking the engine to 90mm as opposed to the stock 81mm, possibly sleveing the cylinder walls, porting and polishing everything, forged rods, forged crank, gutting the cats, opening up the exhaust, larger injectors with a stand alone fuel management sytem, twin turbos running aprox. 25 lbs of boost...

producing about 700-750 screaming little ponies...

So QUESTION: Where i can find a VQ35DE motor, how much one costs, if there is a better alternative to the VQ35DE block, what are your thoughts on such a project, what would you put on yours? Post it here or forever hold your peace.
