Vq Turbo Build

[PN-Mad]

Scotty, T3 or T2?

I wouldn't have thought it was a T2....

Mine is only 200rwkw @ 6psi...lol. unhappy dyno.

I'm pretty sure that's a t2, can you measure the width and height?

Looks like a T2. Watch out for the rods in the VQs. Apparently they start to struggle at 500hp+. That seems to be one of the major issues people face with big hp VQs.

It's lucky I'm only aiming for 499.

The rods themselves aren't the issue so much as the rod bolts. They start to stretch once you get near that 400rwhp barrier. But a lot does depend on how hard you are spinning the motor. Apparently Nissan improved the rod bolts in the later model motors, but hey, the motor is apart why not upgrade??

^That may be it. Just a few words that I heard from a few builders when I was looking at getting mine done. The advice was not to go for 'serious power' with an unopened VQ.

The rods are actually thicker not just the bolts in the HR... the rods a puny and should be upgraded.

So what turbos are compatible with the HKS 3037 rear housing or would you need to upgrade both ? I havnt fitted mine but my engine is being machined this week ready to be full forged built for 600HP, 3037 only get 400-430 so any ideas for upgrade to get 500 ?

Not much good with the t2 rear housing but perhaps Stao could slide a GT35 into it? Ring Hypergear and find out...

Yup. Get Scotty to make you up a new adaptor for the cross over/gate in t3 and get a gt3582 with 1.02 hosing in there

Any ideas on where to get best price for that ? Why adapter needed for the cross over gate? you cant get them in that size? Scotty what price u thinking of to adapt? Honestly u guys reckon 400-420 is not good enough? thats 2x what i got now..

It's all up to you mate! I'm quite happy with what I'm running on the stock block. You might as well strap on what comes with the kit, and just turn it up to max boost. A built motor will take it no worries. Get used to driving that. It's quite a big difference! Probably good to run the motor in with tha too.

The adaptor is a bespoke part of the kit. You'll need something made up to link the manifolds, pipe to the ext gate, and the turbine housing, in a bigger, more free flowing design. It's not an off the shelf part!

Honestly, with a gt3582 think it would be pretty scary! But I'm a massive pussy. I like going round corners too, not just planting it In a straight line.
