I was just looking thru May's magazine and on pg 42 there is a picture and the caption says "For 380,000 Yen (approximately 3,800 U.S. Dollars) Top Secret has available a susex stainless manifold, gt-30 pro turbo, intake pipes, intercooler and filter for the 350z and its vq35de engine."

Would like to know if anyone saw this little clip and what are there thoughts.

i did not see this article but if you look at any of the aftermeaket turbo manipholds for the 350z they would not fit on a front wheel drive VQ35 max

Care to divulge WHICH magazine you're referencing?

I've seen the kit in one of mine, I think T&HTP.

I also like the new kit one company is offering with a SINGLE turbo mounted ON TOP of the engine/manifold.

Hood wasn't included, but something similar to Stillens' 350z cowl might be interesting.

sounds interesting!! and you mean "on top of the manifold" like some of the SR/KA-T top mount manifolds??

and what were they running to merge the other 3 cylinders?? cross-over pipe of some sort?

No, ON TOP OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

Basically, the thing stuck up out of the engine bay by the windshield. I'll see if I can find pictures of it.

Similar setup to a Ford Powerstroke Diesel I used to drive I wonder if they had any cranks snap on them yet.... Some of U might have heard of the great Mike Kojima- writes alot of articles, hes also a Nissan Engineer, basically according to him VQ crank will snap at around 500HP.

I bet you the crank will not snap till 800 hp or higher!

hmm I tend not to argue with Mike when it comes down to any Nissan. Hes got the most power out of a VG30DETT, and SR20s, hes also verrrrry close friends with JWT. I should say he almost lives over at JWT. the 3.5L crank is stronger, but the rods are weak still. Mike is like a walking Nissan encyclopedia, he knows the guys who build the indy Infiniti V8s and used to work for TRD in the 80s. I stand behind his word.

Well Hal was putting down 500hp+ to the wheels in his 95 and somehow his car survived.
