PROJECT : BUILT VH45DE TT on a G coupe

I see your six pistons and raise you two.

Many of you might have seen a few of my pics around and I was holding out until most of the custom parts were done being fabricated.

I guess the title is self explanatory. Take a 1991 Infiniti Q45 V8, tear it apart, rebuild it with all new parts, add custom manifolds, fabricate mounts, add a 5 speed tranny and two Schwitzer turbos to make a reliable 800+whp daily driven G35 coupe.

The bottom line:

Valve Covers Polished:

OEM VH rod vs Pauter:

Pistons meet rods:

Calico CT-1 Coated Race bearings

Custom Intake and Exhaust Flanges:

Twin JGS Precision 56mm BOV's:

More updates to come...

I'm planning on using either an autronic sm-4 or a motec.
I chose the vh because it was cheap and readily available. I actually have a bunch of vk's but I believe the vh is more stout.

interesting thoughts between the two engines.

what if any problems do you think you are going to encounter when trying to get the engine running? are you converting to a throttle cable?

are you keeping all the accessories?
