Damn.. Some of you just need to chill out, lay back, and just watch the progress. Go argue with your girlfriends/wives not XAT. Jeez.

Awesome swap!! Can't wait to see it run and kill some.

Seems like everyone automatically assumes that a VQ is a light weight engine. It's lighter than the SAME block made out of iron. People seem to forget that the VQ is a fairly large V6, not talking displacement, although it is directly related.

Here is the first quick vid shot today. Just doing some base AF tuning with these huge injectors and driveability. Once clutch is broken in, we will do some full passes. Mainly posting this because people wanted to hear the exhaust note.

Dang.. didn't catch your post in time... It was on the dyno today. We did just minor power pulls to redline today as the clutch is still very fresh. It made 400ish at 12.5 psi. I was mainly focused on getting the driveability down better.

Car got dropped back off at my shop for some more work and the clutch is now broken in. I know Fairlady Z33 has a lot more vids.. Saw them yesterday when he dropped off his car I know he is kinda busy, but I am sure he will share soon. I will post up as soon as I get it back on the dyno.

Here are some more vids. Did some higher boost tuning today. 4th gear pull, 5th gear pull, 5th gear pull and coupler pops at the end.

Final tuning next week. I will get at least 2 high-def cameras for that. Pardon the shitty sound on this vid.
