I ended up buying a Scion IQ with the money I had for this, but as long as my wife isn't actually pregnant; i think i'll be able to find a way. The thought of my Z wielding this kind of power brings tears to my eyes. Bless you sir.
Just a quick update on this. I have now sold a VHR twin scroll kit to a customer with an HR car/engine. Hope to ship this out in a couple of weeks, and he will confirm that this kit does indeed fit the HR cars without any modifications.
I was going to jump on this and be the guinea pig for the fitment on the vq35hr but looks like someone else beat me to it, definitely looking forward to the results!
His FB page mentions preparing 5 mid mount kits for the 350Z. For the HR? He also mentions the HR test install, but no conclusive confirmation that all is well...
The customer had a chance to test fit the VHR kit on an HR platform. It did not all bolt up as anticipated.
The VHR manifold worked just fine, but the IC piping did not. It looks like DE IC pipes from turbo to FMIC will work just fine though. The down pipe had a bit of a clearance issue right after the turbo, so I think a DE down pipe would also be needed to make this fit better.
I will keep you guys posted once the results are in.
