Wouldn't it be great if Nissan would put the M45 V8 in the 350Z!
That would give us minimally 345bhp. How's this post Ethan?????
Or will you move this one too???

Aren't they going to put that engine into the GT-R R35? I heard rumors of the V-8 with twin turbos. Oh yeah baby!

WHAT happened rich are you being a bad boy

Read what I said about a DVD on the M45 and be your own judge.
I'm never intentionally a bad boy but there are times I guess.

I heard the same rumors but what if we could drop it into our babies, we wear out the Potenzas in record time.

Engine Swap and slap on some turbo's? That would decimate a crapload of cars. And yes it would be expensive and will probably eat a lot of rubber and gas with it. But damn that would be fun.

Latest rumors on the GTR say that it will have a 3.3l engine (stroke of the 3.5l VQ and bore of the 3.0l VQ) and get this:

electrically assisted turbos

Basically a tiny electric motor on each turbo will spool the turbo up off idle, and once exhaust gasses spin the blades faster, the motor will disengage. In other words, ZERO turbo lag.

This has never been done before on an automotive application (but has been used on turbos elsewhere). Pretty damn sweet if you ask me.

Nissan has done with their V6 engines but there is really nothing like the raw power of the V8. Also can you imagine the exhaust note for the V8!!
Thanks again for the Fonz Tom.

And where did you hear this rumor? Sounds pretty unlikely IMHO, it seems like they might run into reliability problems...
