I was re-watching this vid and noticed you mentioned you used HR headers for the DE with the HR manifold for the turbo kit. I was watching a different video from another channel on longtube header installation and I remember the dude tried DE headers on the HR but it actually lost a lot of low end torque so he planned on going back to HR style. I'm assuming it's a similar principle for installing HR headers on DE due to primary tube diameters being a tad too big. Not sure if things change when boosted since there will be a jump in flow and maybe the bigger sized piping can help but I know bigger isn't always better. This probably exacerbated your lack of low-end torque when you went with the big cams. Also I have a question, is there any reasonable way to keep longtubes but still incorporate a turbo kit? I would like to attempt this but that would most likely force me into a rear mounted setup. With a single exit, I'll have all the space I need on passenger exhaust side for turbo piping since the longtubes will take most of the space up front.

[@nitish21]

Mid mount turbo kits start right from where the oem cats start so long tubes won’t work unless u cut them short

[@G35sigaming]

What internals would you recommend I upgrade in my revup? My goal is to get the twin scroll boosted performance kit and make between 600-700whp

[@nitish21]

Level 3 engine rebuild kit from z1 but I would recoding a Dynosty head gasket and L19 head studs. Also a good idea to consider the weisco s710 wrist pins cuz I noticed the oens that came with my pistons started to bent after 700whp.

[@nowimhigh]

Wonder if it's possible to fabricate a VR38DETT in a G35x? It's already set up for AWD. They use the same ATESA AWD system. The GTR has an upgraded version though with LSD Diff. You can get used ones for around 12gs USD. Or you could always throw a LS3 in it? Don't get me wrong I love the VQ engine. But you can get those VR38DETTs over 1000hp easy. Or the LS swap, get a lot of torque for cheap. Could even boost it. They all would cost about the same to swap. Question is how much fab work is required?

[@_Zoctane]

G37x holds boost very nice an with the AWD it’s amazing just have to upgrade the auto trans

[@Freak5thGen]

Also, as far as boosting the de for around 350-400hp range, lower boost etc. would you recommend twins or single? I’d like to get low end power right away and a steady climb and not all power on top end. I don’t want to fully build my motor and want to make power reliably while also keeping the reliability of the engine itself

[@nitish21]

Early torque can kill a stock block vq very quickly. Power in the top end is actually safer. But you can have quick spooling new age twins to get good low end power. I would say the single turbo kit from @boostedperformanceyeg on IG. That kit has a good size Comp turbo which will spool very quick but still provide good top end an over fantastic kit
