  1. you can also buy Deatschwerks, they are OEM that have been redrilled http://www.deatschwerks.com/products/fuel-injectors/sport-compact/nissan/350z-370z/2003-12-350z-370z or you can shop around for OEM GT-R injectors, they are 570cc and I'm fairly sure they are drop in. Most of the time you can get Stock GT-R injectors for shipping alone
  2. OK, I've got friends that are running 11:1 and 11.5:1 bottoms, ported heads, 10.5mm lift cams wigh HIGH duration cams, tuned and struggling to get 300-325. Doug Stewart is running the same cams on hogged heads, stock bottom, tuned with an real 292 RWHP. THe HP rating is Dyno specific I know. I just don't see how much more can be done, assuming the standard off the shelf stuff, headers, plenum, CAI, Tuner, cams, head work, higher compression. I've got over a grand sitting in a one off 78mm billet alimunim throttle body, that mated to hogged out Crawford plenum that made a whopping 11HP. People can keep trying to make stuff, but there is only so much chicken salad that can be made from Chicken manure, IMO. I'm not saying that the VQ is a hunk of junk, on the contrary, it is a good motor, I am simply polling the difference of building a 'budget' VQ, Cosworth VQ, or swaping to a V8. Please ignore the HP targat I have set, just talking bang for the buck. I don't think the VQ will take boost, at least for long term.
  3. 325 RWHP is what I think the extent on the VQ is on pump gas, naturaly asperated. I'm still 15k away and just testing the waters. I think bang for the buck, if I were looking for massive HP, the LS1 is the way to go, it is much more responsive to modification than the VQ has ever shown to be. I just left a Lightning just over a year ago that I was tracking. I'm used to high torque high horsepower. AS for the additional weight of the V8, I'm sure it can be compensated for some how, hell if I went on a diet and got back down to my pre-marriage weight, that could count for half of the difference, easy. When I build something it will be nice, high end. I'de rather put the bucks up front and have a reliable ride then have to continually hemorage cash to it. Keep the comments coming.
  4. It was just an idea. I'm sitting with about 86k miles on it now. I was planning on pulling it at 100k. I was just pricing parts, Cosworth heads, Crawford Grind cams, built bottom end. Just wandering what the trade offs would be. The Cosworth heads are good up to 10.5k RPM, I don't know if I could trust someone to build a bottom end to twist that much. Cosworth is selling a short block, that I assume will twist all that their heads can do. All said and done is around $13k without labor. I know I could build less, but wouldn't sound like a banshee twisting like that? I could probably have the heads done and the block block bored 0.020 over and get there just as quick. I was just siffing to see if anyone had already laid ground work for a V8 swap,and if so, what the bottom line was looking like.
  5. Hi all, new to forum, just saying howdy. Had a quick ? for ya. I have a 350Z and was toying with the idea of a swap. Any thought towards an LS1 swap? I tend to be road course oriented and was thinking with the power/torque/rev range of an LS1, it might be just as cheep to do a swap then to try and get ~325 RWHP NA out of the VQ.
