Taking it nice and slow. Here are a few pics of some parts and progress. VQ35 in a 240sx.

 

SICCCK setup

what about ze rain?

 

ummm hiii

lol holy shiiitttt looks sick!
how much power can the vq handle? is it built or stock? and aren't the 350 tranny's weak?

 

those aluminum bar is not gonna hold it...
and wouldn't the intake manifold sort a too small... i think it needs way more volume?

nevertheless, it would be sick once you reinforce everything i think!

 

looks pretty cool. how about some details.. what are your goals with it? building it for anything in particular or just for fun?

 

I didn't realize the aluminum bar was for structural support...
and the plenum's volume is almost 2.5 times the displacement of the engine... i think it's just fine. I couldn't think of a design i liked that would clear the hood so i'll be molding in a cowl.

you should look into cosworths plenum for the 350z

 

I'm building it for fun. Looking for mid 500's on the stock motor. Next stage will be some eagle rods and some wiseco or je pistons and then looking for 700's. I would like to make more after that with a more serious build but it's too far away to even consider right now. Twin t3/60-1's, 60mm gates, tial bov, custom turbo and intake manifolds, 90mm tb, 75lb injectors, standalone (havent decided on one yet), trunk mounted radiator, 3" downpipes and 2.25" dumptubes coming out of the sides in front of the front tires, 24"x12"x4" vertical flow i/c cores with custom end tanks, etc.

I rather build my own parts whenever possible. It doesn't matter if they don't workout that great, i usually end up making something new within a couple of months anyways.

 

have you ever seen factory VQ rods?

god i wish i had time like that. thats pretty neat

 

You can put down 500whp if you install some arp rod bolts. I've seen a tread on my350z about the tranny gears, they looked quite stout. It was out of a car that had the APS tt kit, I belive the only problem they were seeing was either the brass ring's teeth or they synchro's teeth had some excessive wear. I'm sure with some really good tuning the a stock 3.5 will do 500whp in a very reliable manner

 

That car is amazing
great fab work I respect you alot for doing it yourself. Dont listen to some of these
guys there only experience is from reading off this site. Looks great I wouldnt
change a thing

 

Also I think you maybe underestimating this setup 1000whp should be no problem once the bottom end is done. Hit up Carl Stevens, I think thats his name
Extreme Race cars, hes running about 200 mph on a 10.5 tire with this motor

 

Hope u have a pump for the oil return..Otherwise u gonna go through the turbos every other week.

 

Amazing. Simply amazing. Excellent work, I'll be checking back for more updates. Keep up the amazing work.
