So how long do you think it will take before somebody comes out with a turbo kit for the new motor?

This is awesome news. This is giving me more reasons than I already have to come back to the Z community.
Here's another site... www.vq35hr.com.
Found this...
Maybe the VQ25HR is a hint at a new Silvia...

This new VQ looks good. Is it going to have direct injection? From the tech articles it doesn't mention what kind of injection system it'll use. Do you think Nissan will stick with port injection instead of GDI for the VQ35HR?

Dual intakes... imagine the sound this engine will make with dual Popchargers or dual CAI's. I'm also curious to see how some upgrades are gonna have to be changed and if they'll even show any gains (like the plastic plenum that's being used).
I don't like the fact of a "sound supressing" engine cover... they talk about making the car sound better (which is hard IMO) but want to cover up the sound of the engine... maybe they just want the exhaust heard.

(people are silly). But how hard is it to take off an engine cover? Just take it off

^ I guess that all depends on how handy you are with tools.
I personally liked the engine cover on the Z since it can be used to add a certain level of bling (had mine painted to match) without killing the sound. Maybe the old cover can be rigged to work. Or maybe some company can come out with some snazy carbon fiber cover.
Tony (some people can't install Popchargers... how they gonna get the cover off?

I just checked out the C&D website and noticed they had a road test of the 07 G35 sedan. Well... they managed a 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and the 1/4 was a 13.9@103. They pulled a 5.8 0-60 and 14.6@98 (298hp motor)
I don't know about you guys but that definitely sounds like an improvement to me. Makes me excited on what will happen as far as the Z goes. Maybe a power bump? I hope so.

They said they were even more impressed that the motor only had 250 miles on it when they ran the 1/4.

Yup, HR's will be out in January. The power bump should be in the 'hood of 15... not sure about a bump in torque though.
