New Nissan Supercharged V8 with 490HP?
 

I've been doing research on various options for my car. Coming from a turbo background, I feel I've been there and done that. My attention has been drawn to finding an FX50 engine. In my research, I've found something interesting regarding nissan's engine offerings. I don't know if it is true, but it is a forced induction nissan engine that could possibly fit in the 370Z with minor modifications.

Thats crazy for an suv.....lol

I haven't seen or heard anything about any supercharged V8s from Nissan. The source may have its news crossed up with the new 2010 Range Rover Sport that's supposed to have a 500HP supercharged V8.

I havent heard anything about this motor either..... And I have been keeping a close eye on nissan/infiniti On their latest news/updates

You know, I was at my lakehouse the other weekend and I saw a new FX50 with an S logo next to the name. I had heard about the sport version, but I didn't think it was out and didn't think anything about it. I don't know whether the owner put an "S" logo on the car just to make it seem like something it's not, but it had banana clip infiniti calipers on it, big *** rotors, and a a different type of infiniti OEM chrome wheel on it than the 09 FX50S have. It sure didn't look like a stock 09 FX50S, but I doubt it was anything special.

Otherwise, that sounds like a pretty cool idea. I think I would keep the VQ though, can't get enough of that sound..

Meh I would say just get a ls9 swap lol.

It should fit under the hood

Then again dreaming like this can hurt people haha

Ah yes viewing window and all....
