I made sure I paid special attention to the suspension and brakes. The car is well balanced and unlike the max the tranny hasnt broken once!

Obviously the VE has great NA performance and great numbers when turboed but how is the low end power off the line with your turbo VE? Would it be better with a turbo VG? And would a turbo VG be as good in the top end as a turbo VE? It seems that the Garrett GT35R turbo is working well for you and returning some pretty awesome numbers. How is the spool up? Do you feel it right away? And how is the day to day drive-ability? Just trying to decide which platform to start with.

Also, I know the VG has the 300zxt to get parts from. It seems that a turbo VE has to be all custom. Is that true? If so, how hard is it to fab or source the custom parts?

Thanks.

To that guy with the Turbo VG in South Georgia, I'd be very interested to see it. I live near Gainesville and come up to Jacksonville sometimes for work. Let me know his username so I can look him up if you don't mind. Thanks.

As far as mods to the 3.5 engine, I'm not sure what he has done to it as far as cams, headwork, etc. I'm not sure if it's a street driven car, but from the vids i've found on You Tube, it doesn't look like it.

Even though I have never driven a turbo vg maxima I have owned a 88 turbo 300zx and I couldnt recall any significance difference in boost response when using the same turbo. Over the years I have experimented with several turbos before settling with the gt35r. To me the gt35r was the perfect turbo that matched my driving style. Although it isnt the quickest spooling turbo I've had on the car it has enough headroom to give me enough power to incinerate another tranny. The cars drivability is going to be determined by the tune. In the past I had used FMUs to full standalone ECUs and I have never had an issue with driveablility.
