Just curious as to what the resident FI VQ experts think.

Holy Sweet Mother......those look like blowoff valves to me!!! Woohoo!

I'm crossing my fingers we get the twin turbo version since there have been rumors of two engine configurations running around here in the US.

 

Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-POST

 

Theres definitely two bypass valves being used on whatever motor that is. Lets hope its the one the US gets..

 

i know its not news, and i know its in the gtr subsection of this site.
i figured a lot of FI people might not have seen it though... and posted it here to see if anyone here had any thoughts. was there a thread about it here already?

 

Who wants to bet the turbo manifolds are a direct bolt on for the vq

 

Looks like a twin turbo V configured motor, and a VQ front case.....

 

Who wants to bet that even if they do bolt up they don't fit the Z chassis in some other way shape or form (i.e. the hood)?

 

Looks to me like the new design for the VQ35HR ( dipstick in front center), Different manifold for turbo with twin throttle bodies and independent runners on IM, Also seems to have recirculating BOVs on each intake tube... Cant see much else. First time I have seen this pic, thanks for the post!

that's what i was thinking

 

Hey its nothing a hammer cant fix . I really dont want to know how much the manifolds from a 80k$ car cost though......

 

So will we see GTM tuned GT-Rs once it comes out?

 

didn't someone pictures of the actual engine out of the chasis at an auto show about a year or so ago? It had twin throttle bodies etc back then too

 

may have been for another car, but no one else has captured shots of what is confirmed to be the GT-R powerplant. (other than these shots of course)

 

It's definately a VQ3xHR variant. The actual displacement, and turbo package is still unconfirmed. I like the dual plenums...very nice.

 

I've heard 3.7L a few times, but won't count on anything until Nissan officially releases the specs...

The dual plenum / tb / intakes / recirc valves setup is SICK! Can't wait to see one of these in person

 

thats probably what all the HR intake manifolds look like without the cover on, eh?

 

Nah, the one on the regular VQ35HR is boring looking once you take the cover off. It's not a split plenum, as seen on the GT-R.

 

oh right on... havent touched any HRs myself or seen the engine in person yet.
