The newest retrofit of the VQ35DE...

So i bought Modified MAG today and they have an old R32 Skyline with some rare VQ35DE with cams, pistons, nismo valvetrain, ported/polished etc. This monster is rear wheel drive with LSD. The engine is paired with a 350z 6spd tranny. It's running N/A with 354hp/296lb torque.

You can check out a preview to that issue at www.modified.com

I was pretty amazed with this. The engine and tranny mounts were all made fron scratch and the engine looks UNREAL!!!! I might have read this wrong but they were saying that it has 6-throttles and 2 air boxes. The car is very tastefully done.

 

Short-stroking an already short-stroke engine FTW.

$6k intake with trumpets on individual throttle bodies FTW.

Wonder what the redline is...



EDIT: Wait, did they short-stroke it?

 

More than likely to increase rod to stroke ratio. It improves higher rpm power. Thats one of the reasons the vq30 is more rev happy than the vq35. The 30 has a 2.014 r/s ratio and the 35 has a 1.771 r/s ratio.

 

just one question, the new engine (vq35hr) is going to rev higher having the same bore and stroke. so that means any vq35de can be rev safely to 7500 by upgrading valve springs ?

 

You would probably have to upgrade to arp main bearing studs as well. (sr20den?)
There are a few reasons the hr revs higher. The two that I remember are it's longer connecting rods (meaning higher deck height and different block) and a stiffer bottom portion of the block.
