Hi Dear Colleagues,

I was surfing in the forum for while to start a vq project , a lot have inspired it by their own projects, opinions, flames and criticism. Well known, this business is a cash pit hole, and can declare bankruptcy from a single project loool. Anyway, please
Share your input for the next step:
Block:
- Wiseco piston 11.0 compression ratio.
- Eagle connecting rods.
- Stock crankshaft.
- ACL bearing set.
Head:
- bone stock.
Turbo:
- SFR twin turbo kit GTX3582R along with dual throttle mutation from Tim
- Power transmission:
Stock gearbox, triple carbon plate by Excedy, and Quaife diff.
Standalone :
- Haltech pnp.
For now I'm planning for a sleeved block with a low compression to increase current boost (now 20 psi on pump gas).

Regards VQ members

 

You have not listed your goals. With those turbos, it looks like 1200 whp.

11.0 is not low compression. Unless you are planning on E85 or race gas only drop to 8.5 to 1. Are you worried about spool?

Eagle rods will not handle twin GTX35s. You will need Carillo or Pauter rods.

Not sure how long the open deck block will handle that much whp...

 

True rcdash, the plan is for 1k+ whp.
And agree on your opinion regarding compression and connecting rods.
I'm planning for a stage three sleeved block from Kyle, but how necessary is a BC crankshaft? as known, SP and VTR never complained about Oem, who are the few or maybe only who crossed 1300whp with the Vq35de. BC stroker is a nice to have but is it necessary?
