Who does the work though.

Less a Haltech PS2000 and the install and tune + markup! = $16,000 left. Then shipping/duty $14,000 left. Then workshop fee's for motor removal and install = $13,000 left. Then exhaust = $12,000 left. Fuel System = $10,000 left. Misc = $9,000 left

You now have $9,000 left to get to 800hp reliably!....how much are the 3.8lt or 4.2lt conversions? and then how much is turbo kit from the workshop going to charge?

Like I said 20K with you doing most of the work is good for at least 800HP.....a workshop doing most of the work at least 600HP....and I am talking with reliability.

1. Never said that the workshop would be doing all the work - that'd be the money burner

2. No chance I'd pay $4k for the Haltech (ViPec installed and tuned for $2k down here)

3. Stroker kits can be had for under $5k depending on what you want or 700hp rated built VQ35 for $10k (plus shipping - yes I know you have to supply a VQ35).

4. All I am saying is for $20k, you could get around 600-700hp* from a VQ35 no problem... reliably

* actually I said big power... but I'd say that 600-700hp from a 3.5L V6 is big power... well it is to me anyway :whistling:

BUMP

Ok...

I've been reading through this thread with interest as I've spoken to a few tuners over here in W.A and very few have had experience with the VQ25det engines. I had one guy who said a lot of the cost would be on r&d so if I can find out specifics then he can cost it up for me.......... I've been looking to do this for a while now but its probably just getting to the point where there is enough info available....

I'm getting everything done at one time and then thats it, set and forget.

I'm not very mechanically minded so bear with me

Budget 8-10k

Wanted power 270awkw and 800nm

Things I know I need:

Hi flow turbo ( What core is best - I want early spool if possible)

Full custom TBE

Emanage ultimate ( Was told by 2 people it's not a good unit )

EBC (Best type?)

HDI Intercooler

Fuel Pump

Injectors ( Which ones )

Anything else I've missed?

Any other mods I can get them to do at the same time for more power earlier (something mentioned earler in the thread - A mod by Scotty but I didn't quite understand )

Throttle restriction removal ( Cut cable ?)

He's probably trying to sell his car again. :P

nah....just cannot be bothered type up the +'s and m -'s of each turbo......oh and what you have to do to get em working properly.

e.g. Don't waste your time going for my turbo if you don't have some way of sorting out the low end restriction/s.

why not? I thought it would be the better option as you can spool on stall.

bush bearing wont in the same size..

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
