[RazorGTR]

Prove it is! Without PROOF nothing to comment on.

Still love the Ol' RB series

[sKyLiNe_69]

I think they should've put a RB26DETT in it, who cares about big V8's.

Yeah! the RB's are (to me) the best engine in the world! 8900 RPM's, twin turbo, and straight-6 cylinders! Shit, i'll take that over anything. just give me a couple more thousand bucks, and this baby will burn anything u can think of! the R35 will suck without an RB!

The RB has also been discontinued for about a year. Given the heavier platform, the R35 would also weigh at least 3700lbs with an RB, too. Shoot, the V8 probably weighs less than the RB does.

yep!

[omegasky]

vquick, you forgot to mention that the v8 might be aluminum.

[VQuick]

There's no way the V8 can't be aluminum, if you think about it. There's only one V8 currently in production by Nissan, and it's aluminum block. All right, there's two, if you count the Titan's 'Endurance' V8, but the Titan motor appears to be based on the VK.

Since the VK seems to be an 8 cylinder version of the VQ, I'd venture to guess the engine doesn't weigh much more than 300lbs with accessories. The VQ, btw, weighs only 108lbs.

vquich, you've gone mad,hehe, I'm sure the next gtr will have the vq, no way in hell that it will have a vk lol, 400hp is ell withing the reach, twin turbo vq, not bad.Greddy in the u.s. has a twin turbo vq in the 350z, it pack's 340hp at 5.6psi of boost and that's with very very few mod's on it, and it's carb legal, we dont' have to worry about carb if you're not in california.
Just imagine a vq twin turbo similar to the one in greddy's 350z at 1 bar of boost(15psi), that'll make something in the 400hp range, with some bolt on's you'll probably get some 500hp, now that sound's good indeed.
I think that gredy's 350z twin turbo engine is the closest to what type of engine we can expect from the next gtr, anyone disagree, if so state your justification?

[VQuick]

Yeah, it's almost a given that the next GT-R will have a VQxxDETT, at least in Japan. What has people worked up is the rumor that the US may get a V8 instead. I don't understand why they don't want the V8. Sure it's NA, but there's even more potential to be found.

I don't really have to imagine much. There's single turbo VQ30DE Maximas making around 500bhp(429fwhp) on stock internals and under 1 bar of boost. But yeah, I see your point.

More potential in an n/a V8 than a twin-turbo 6? No way in hell.

he was refering most likely to higher displacement

[omegasky]

as they say, "no better replacement than more displacement".
note to self:the 350z in the states has a "N/A v6" dishing out 240hp at the wheel's, 275hp at the flywheel stock, wonder how much a vq v8 might put out, something close to 350hp I suppose, few bolt's and vouila, 400hp baby!

[omegasky]

also no worries of detonation with a N/A, unless you increase the compression ratio.
