Default New 4th Gen VQ: By Sport Z Mag

I could not get the Picture to show, up so instead ill just link you guys to the thread at G35driver.com

http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94969

Dual throttle bodies, intake & exhaust variable cam timing, equal length exhaust manifolds, a x-pipe dual catback exhaust system, 10.6:1 compression ratio (from improved cylinder head cooling?), a 7,500rpm readline should make well over 300 horsepower at the crankshaft. We remain curious about the peak torque and mean average horsepower and torque numbers the new VQ will generate.

As you can see, most of the pictures show tubular steel exhaust headers. We're not so sure they'll be standard fare on the new G35s. Perhaps a cast iron version will make the final cut.

Picture 2 and picture 5 show the left and right side throttle bodies, unfortunately pictures of new VQ's exhaust system didn't turn out.

This was Copy and Pasted from G35driver.com

Nice! On what cars will the new gen VQ go in? I would imagine the new GT-R as well.

About 99% sure it will be in the new G35.

Less of a chance it will be in the next gen 350Z (450Z) or GTR. But who knows really, maybe there will be a next gen 350Z and 450Z, and the 350Z version will get this engine...

Who knows maybe even the GTR will get it, imagine Twin Turbos, one turbo going into each throttle body...

Hmmm.. Z owners will probably start to see a worthy swap onto their cars.

Damn, i wish there were more facts.

worth swap indeed but how long will the current Z body last trend wise. Maybe its more worth it to buy a whole new Z with a the new engine if the newer models comes out better.

probably just swap the pre-head intake portion onto my engine (prolly just a new software update and some wiring for aftermarket management to deal with dual TBs) -- already got the block and heads the way i like 'em

Unless I am misinformed, this motor will also have a 7600 redline. Do you this that it's heads will be usable on out motors?
