Interesting responses. Thank you all for the insight so far. The original intent still stands and I am just gauging interest. I am in the process of setting myself up at vendor status and as soon as I get the ok I will post the numbers we went over today.

Considering the amount of money that goes into modifying the Z in any way involving boost or making over 300whp (minus nitrous) that is kind of a funny statement.

You guys do fabulous work, and love what you do.
Now just put a LSx swap together, that ACUTALLY HAS AIR CONDITOINING, AND WORKING GUAGES and you'll be set. Because I'm 99.9% sure thats not available yet.

Built TT VQ35
- Fully built VQ35 ($8-$10k)
- Clutch & flywheel to hold 600rwhp ($1.5-$2k)
- TT kit ($6-$8k)
- Engine management, gauges, etc. ($2-$4k)
- Labor for Everything ($5-$6k)
- Tuning ($500-$1k)
- Miscellaneous ($1-$2k)
Total: right around $25k on the low end of the scale
Stock block 2jz swap w/upgraded single turbo kit
- 2jz motor and tranny with 30-40k miles in good shape ($5-$6k)
- Clutch and flywheel ($1-$2k)
- Custom motor mounts/driveshaft/wiring ($3k-$4k)
- Engine managment, gauges, etc. ($2-$4k)
- Single turbo kit ($4k-$5k)
- Labor for everything ($4-$5k)
- Tuning ($500-$1k)
- Miscellaneous ($1-$2k)
Total: around $20k on the low side
I'm sure that I left a few things out, but you get the idea. Both will yield you right around 600-700rwhp easily. If you take it up a notch on the 2jz though, they are proven to hole over 900rwhp on a stock block
. With a built 2jz you can have a 1000rwhp 350z for a lot less money then with a VQ.
I like both motors and personally don't have money for either (lol), just wanted to add my 2 cents....

800whp all day stock block, some doing close to 1000whp.

and the guy saying a stock block 2jz isn't comparable to a built vq doesn't know what his talking about. a stock 2jz is more reliable at 700 whp than a built vq

personally, i'd do an ls1 swap before a 2jz, actually, i wouldn't even do the 2jz swap into this car cause of how much heavier it is than the vq, especially when the turbo and manifold comes into play mounted at the top of the engine and all
