GT-R 3.8 vs 370z 3.7

Different R&D time put into each

Overall what I was getting at was how much modification would it take to retrofit GT-R parts onto a Z chassis... could you bolt up the heads/manifold/turbos up to our short block and tranny. Seems like the answer is not really without some significant time and $$$.

why would you want to though?? A gtm Z makes 480-520 @ 10psi, a gtr needs 14psi to make about 460 and thats with the extra displacement. So there is nothing special about that setup that it would be worth the money. The tranny and the drivetrain is what rewrote all the record books though

That's true, but the the VR has the better reliability because it was designed from the ground up with forced induction in mind. Not saying the VQ isn't reliable, you're just taking a bigger risk and likely decreasing overall engine life by going FI.

Nissan has just fitted a GTR engine in to a Juke body,lets hope they can put 1 in to the 370z body,w/o the 4WD.

I'd really really really really really really really really really really like to see someone make a 370 as quick as a GT-R

really

No, like really

phelan · 12-02-2011, 11:00 AM

trying too hard sibze!!

b1adesofcha0s · 12-02-2011, 11:00 AM

But srsly like really. It would take a lot more than just power to make the Z as fast as a GT-R.
