The problem with the DE is that it has weak internals as well, the 5AT with a valve body upgrade and TCM tune can be made to handle some power but the engine will also have to be beefed up.

Friendly piece of advice, avoid GTM like the plague. Look up what they've been doing on the370z/myG37 forums. Stillen SC kits unfortunately did not make decent power on the VQ35s.

Just to compare, I have had my little VQ25det running 300-350kw for the last 5 years or so, stock... All you need is a set of sturdy rods installed and you could easily make 400+kw on ethanol with a single low mounted hidden turbo off a VQ25det manifold.

Scotty you have tempted me. Could you pm me some more info about what I'll need to do to run a setup like this on my car? And when you talk about running ethanol is that the e85 with a dual map setup?

I used to run a dual map, just in case I couldn't find e85, but in 5 years I have only gone back to petrol once for a trip to Sydney. Now I have the missus A4 there is no need to worry. (about 50 servo's in Melbourne these days.)

I could perhaps be persuaded to part with my GTX3071 setup which would easily smash a set of VQ35 rods. It would be very responsive on a 3.5L with the Tial 1.06 turbine housing, good for 350+ at the wheels. Otherwise custom fitting a turbo would be a lot of fabrication, as there is nothing available now the HKS 3037 kit was discontinued.

Sikky and fueled racing make a bolt up kit for the ls v eights, when you factor the extra weight of supercharging or turbocharging inc all the plumbing it's about the same, and the cost about the same. I know which one I'd rather have!

I know I'm a bit late to the party, however I was just working my way through some old emails and saw this. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Stillen supercharger for a while now, however it's for the 2014 Q60 S (VQ37), I know they have ones for your model also. Stillen does seem the way to go. I will put a link below for you.

Also there is an awesome business in Sydney, that specialise in our cars. - I'm not affiliated with this mob at all, I have just read some great things about them. I'm in S.A , so I don't get to use them unfortunatey. The place is called Tunehouse - link below.

This looks like a great all round site.

Good luck with it all. I will be interested to hear how you get on. Also, if anyone else has gone down this path, (preferably for the VQ37, sorry to hijack thread.. please let me know)

I had a look at the video on the Stillen site and came across this video of a 370GT (G37) that had been twin turbo'ed... Nice package but the exhaust sound would drive me crazy after a while...

Thanks Nightcrawler.

Believe me if i had the cash i would go the GTR in a heart beat but for now i'm sticking with this "family car" ;)

I thought my V36 was running about 230kw from the factory already but maybe i'll just start buy getting it dyno'd to see what i'm starting with and then go from there. Anyone have any recommended places in sydneys west, blue mountains, or hawkesbury area?

AutoTech Engineering in Granville, NSW ($120 for 2 Graphs, 1 with AFR's & the other Torque).

Both laminated sheets will have speed & rwkw)

Let me know how you go.

Because my aim is to reach in the high 100's after a chip is installed :)

Check this Infiniti G35 Coupe (633rwhp) beat a stock Nissan GTR R35!!! ;)

Hey guys sorry for the delay, busy off having a baby.

Anyway i'm back and ready to roll.

Thats what i'm talking about guys, if i can smoke a GTR like that i will be very happy. I'll get in touch with those places in sydney and let everyone know how i go.

Cheers

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
