They actually might very well bolt up. I will try on Monday. I have gtr manifolds on the bench I could test fit.

That's awesome Sharif! Do you think there would be a business case for selling the used GT-R turbos in a kit of some sort? I know there would have to be some engineering involved, but could it be doable? I wonder if the IHI turbos are even properly sized for the VQ35?

Q&A from Ebay listing:


Q: Can I have a set? I have a 350z with no exhaust manifolds installed on a lift right now. I will test fit on engine in the car and send you pictures. If no fit I will send back.
A: do worry about it, dude. I will bolt them up to VQ35 this weekend and take pics. And i will post pics on 350z forum as well.
Mar 05, 2010

Q: what your promoting cant be further from the truth. How can you promote lies and try and take peoples $. theres a thread on my350z.com about this bs can you sell me sti turbos to blot on to my bimmer also
A: we did try the turbos on G35 and G37 engines. they are just directly bolted on. what is the link? can i see it? and we have a 350Z engine sitting in my shop. i will bolt it up and take some pics.

It honestly wouldnt suprise me if they bolted up to at least a HR or VHR, if not even a DE. But in the tight *** confines of these cars thats probly half the battle.

bolting up...possible

properly fitting....or being able to "make it work" in the engine bay....prob not.

Im curious though.

+1... pretty sure DE, HR, and VHR all use the same flange anyway.

apparently you cant

"We did make a mistake of that the turbos can NOT be bolted on to VQ35 engines. Because the bolt pattern of GTR35 manifolds are reversed to VQ35 headers. But we are developing a flange converter for that."

They seem to have the impression that these will fit in the car if they're going to be making a manifold adapter plate...

want to see pics!
doubtful that this will work.
IMO you are better off chopping up vg30 flanges and welding on vq flanges (from stock header) and then getting a jwt turbo upgrade kit.
