The car manufacturers have no problem coming out with a street legal turbo, so how come the turbo builders have such a difficult time with this, could'nt they just follow the car companies example?

 

Well, there's no turbo VQ engine (in the US) from Nissan, so if even the manufacturer couldn't get it right, imagine how much harder it is for an aftermarket company to do.

 

Why do you assume the manufacturer could not get it right? They just had no interest for the VQ35 to be turboed. Think about it...with all the bad publicity from street racing ( racers and innocent people dying ) I don't think California has any interest in giving after market parts legal status. Emmisions laws is the only real way for them to regulate on them.

 

If Nissan can do it they would've already used it in the more expensive Infiniti cars. Maybe it's the cold start emission, maybe there's a inherent design weakness in the VQ motor, both APS and JWT said they can, but no one has been able to get a turbo VQ motor to meet US emission regulation yet.

 

I dissagree. The GTR will be their V6 Twin Turbo car in the Spring of 2008. Car manufactures look closely at the demagraphics their marketing to and what cars they are competing with. Interesting enough the GTR will be badged as a Nissan also and not a "more expensive" Infiniti. Rumor has it that the GTR will be 70k +

 

If there was a CARB legal turbo, I have been told CARB regulations are that you cannot modify the injectors...

And that's just no fun.

 

After you get that stupid CARB sticker you go to town modding the **** out of anything you like. It's just about money for the state of California ..thats all.
What surprises me is that APS and JWT both started the process. It is very expensive and I doubt they expected this much difficulty.

 

No doubt

I was referring to the design of the kit, not what people will actually do.

 

You can use additional injector tho, so I don't think it's the injectors that's preventing them from getting CARB. As for the GTR, the block and heads are probably highly modified from the n/a version, no aftermarket company can do that.

 

wow a v-6? I thought it was gonna be a V-8? can't say that im estatic about it comin out here cuz I sure as hell cant afford one
