Forged Performance: VQ37 500whp+..another first!
Hi everyone,
Wanted to share our latest work on the next generation VQ motors. We just finished and installing and tuning our first TT kit on the G37 Coupe. This is the second GTM TT kit we've installed, and the first kit install on a G37.
As usual, the quality and completeness of these kits is second to none. Just like the VQ35HR kit we did last month, these engines just love to rev, and are very efficient at utilizing the boost! We elected to run the big ture GT30 TT kit that GTM offered. Down the road, my customer wants to crank this thing up to 15psi-20psi...but for now, 500whp will have to do! These turbos are still sleeping at just under 12psi. Speaking of sleeper, we hid everything in the cabin, out of sight...this thing looks very stockish. Just some wheels, tires, and a nice drop.
Here is are the basics of the build:
VQ37 VVEL Stock Engine
GTM Stage III TT Kit with TRUE Garrett GT30's (no wheel stuffing here
)
GTM Fuel System
800cc Injectors
HKS FCON Vpro with Knock Amp
HKS EVC Boost Controller
Greddy EvoTT Exhaust System
GTM 3 inch dowpipes
FP Bottleneck Restriction
What a fun car to drive now...with tons of power to match the good looks....I hate driving my stock NA G37 now.

Nice work and powerband! Congrats to the owner and FP - another superb supercar for the street...
What is that gadget with the air filters/valves?
PS. I want dual CAI intakes for my turbos!!!
You can make it happen Sharif.

Amazing build. I was able to see this car in person on Saturday.
The attention to detail during the installation is impeccable. The pictures are nice but I have to say that the car up close in person looks even better than the pictures can show. You can get a sense of what forged is all about if you are fortunate enough to spend a little time at their facility. Sharif runs the nicest and most ethical business establishment I've come across in the high end tuner market, hands down.
