Most Powerful All-Motor VQ35 In The World? OnPoint Dyno 350Z Rips Hard!

[@tiagobernardo6807]

This built is a big middle finger to the turbo way, is so cool when somebody choose the N/A path. Big thumbs up

[@abunaiN1]

n/a it's the hard way but goosebumps in 9.000rpm's and beating turbo guys on hot days is worth it !

[@tiagobernardo6807]

abunai888 Amen

[@grosano95]

Kinda weak, all motor Hondas are making 450 whp with a 2.7 liter 4banger.

[@grosano95]

***** probably like 15:1 cr on +100 octane...still 800cc and 2 cylinders less than the VQ35. Pretty sure this V6 has more than 12:1 cr as well.

[@grosano95]

***** There are bored VQ35's running 12:1 cr and making +300 whp, this engine must be close to 13:1. Honda engines are the best, those little beasts! So strong, that the fastest FWD Civic makes 1800 hp from a 2.0 liter :) Nice numbers for only 9 psi, btw!

Thanx lol

[@vqwxnter4450]

Thx

[@invisibleaznDJ]

Awesome car. But I am always impressed with the extremely clean shop.

[@rambow70]

Clean shops either mean extreamly professional or they don't do anything lol

[@gagesonny3048]

A clean shop means prissy ass men. Go to a real automotive repair shop, or a car fanatics personal garage, it's always dirty. My father was a mechanic and he spent over 100k on tools in his lifetime, never would you open his toolbox and it be "Clean." Organized? Yes. Clean? No.

[@Z33Garage]

+Gage Sonny some men take care of their tools the same, or better than their cars.

[@everss02]

a vq35, probably needs new cam shaft position sensors lol

[@Danu01c]

hahahahaha that's typical in these engines lol!

[@stevenv765]

Lmao!!! I got that code like last week 😂

[@flashhxo4085]

just got that code today lmao

[@Brian-wy4hg]

everss02 I've changed one of those in my max lol

[@chriswf]

Spoken like a true VQ35 owner. Luckily they're not too hard to replace :D

[@dead-or-a-lively5096]

A wing that big should make 1000hp alone!

[@MrRodillo123]

[@cristianbautista3837]

+SVTSn8KBite lmfao

[@xan8148]

And put a large roof scoop which is 500 hp added😄

[@imSchwaggy]

my uncles prius has a 600hp NA turbo charged stock VQ35 came from a power wheels bmw i8 .

[@Binford2500]

Not as cool as my dads twin-charged, diesel Wankel rotatory, air cooled flat 6 out of a dodge neon, hooked up to an 18 speed out of a Peterbilt.

[@Midnight_Rider96]

well I have a honda 454 v12 twin turbo supercharged in my miata with axles from a John deer tractor and cvt from a go cart

[@errorserver3000]

+Alistair B is your last name Boyd?

[@Midnight_Rider96]

[@Lucas-ij6kk]

hahaha look at all these kiddies talking about their small motors. that's nothing compare st to my naturally aspirated big block 12 cylinder twin turbocharged engine with individual throttle bodies.

[@jameannohere]

Easily my favorite vq on the planet. I need to start making the big bucks to get the itb kit and an hr for my G. The symphony this engine cranks out... splosh. Good job Sasha!

[@RastaRider]

5:49 That engine sounds like it's underwater!

[@ArrtusMusic]

That's crazy! It's amazing to see just how much science behind working on cars there is and to see him make that much power on an N/A motor is truly incredible. If you tell any Z owner that someone made over 400 to the wheels on an N/A motor, they wouldn't believe you.

[@speedacademy]

Sasha is leading the way with NA tuning. He has so many hours of R&D into that engine it's incredible!

[@raduorban]

i love it when people say ... the motor is stock =))) has : high comp pistons, 3.7 crank, cams, ITB's ... but ... stock =)))

[@xan8148]

The 350Z is my favorite car I'm glad that I saw this😍

[@misegades]

Those front fenders look amazing. I'm actually very surprised that they don't have any head work done...from what I understand, that's arguably the biggest single source of power in a build. If they're running higher compression, full exhaust, big cams, big ITB's, I would think the stock heads are a huge bottle neck.

[@MrRodillo123]

Lmao yeah dude it cant be the most powerful vq in the world until the heads are done

[@ALSALAZAR1985]

Yup throwing HUGE TB's on stock heads with stock valve sizes is a waste you just threw away all the response and low end.. like throwing a huge tunnel ram intake on an chevy with stock iron heads... just not optimized. only solution is other heads or forced induction!

[@misegades]

Well, I don't think we can say he threw money away...the guy seems to have a pretty good handle on what he's doing, and I'm definitely not going to be one to say what he might be doing wrong. My guess is that headwork is definitely in the cards...what I do know is that good head work can be very expensive.

[@misegades]

All that being said, if and when he does get head work done, I can see this thing breaking 450-500 crank hp no problem

[@ALSALAZAR1985]

misegades still limited by the factory design of the heads. they wont be able to cnc too much and is anybody doing custom cnc work for these engines?. best solution is aftermarket heads, but idk who makes them for vq. maybe JUN in Japan??? idk... id just do the true and tested V8. looks is one thing, results is another.

[@TheDruxlol]

my favorite car, thanks so much for keeping us up to date with this beast, would love to see some of it on the track.

[@Swaygooy]

The ITB's look gorgeous on that motor

[@TheBlizzbeast]

Too bad that the 57's didn't really work out, but looking forward to seeing it with 420+whp

[@jacobbarba3605]

OMG! The pain and sweat that you and your crew must have put in that beautiful car!

[@austinlivingston349]

When the vq is opened up intake and exhaust, it's one hell of an engine.

[@Etrician55]

This guy is amazing at tuning..... he can actually hear knock and know when to put a limiter on the car by sound alone...... fuck hes good

[@adodoes8770]

this is a damn nice car, the engine seems so smooth aswell and makes an awesome sound. it's amazing how many stock or borrow from 370z components you still have and making 420whp on N/A is pretty nice. thats probably close to 500 bhp. many people don't know how to build Zs and many don't reaech these numbers with turbos, but you did it N/A good job! you should maybe consider getting built heads tho in my opinion it would increase the power that much more maybe even close to 450whp which would be crazy for a 3.5/3.7 l v6.

[@bodhifyer]

That sound is just beautiful

[@averyhuelsbeck3116]

this thing is fucking guzzling that air. cool to see such an efficient design.

[@jkflorida]

I had ITB's on a B16 and a K20 and tuning was always a pain. But they sound amazing!

[@lt250]

Love Sasha he's the best, only guy to tune my car

[@kevinho1922]

velocity stacks, thats what theyre called, thank you!

[@puprilla]

Love that u guys did this!! Love the vq and love it NA so much more reliable

[@macklay2614]

i love naturally aspirated power :D

[@IntegraDIY]

Yeah definitely a restriction somewhere or fuel issue? Smaller intake will usually cause a gain in the low end and bigger will always open up the top end.. But like he said the TB's are not ported and some type of negative turbulence is being created

[@rippinonap1]

I heard stock heads and I thought those ITBs were a little much. I actually thought the air box might help with create the needed velocity from a bit of the Venturi effect

[@zbangin749]

VQ sounds beautiful

[@shlart7383]

this thing sounds terrifying

[@1jiveturkey1]

Probably the best goddamned 350Z I've ever seent. Hats off to you folks.

[@klajoye481]

This car is so sick. Keep up with the track videos, please!!!

[@speedacademy]

We'll get some track videos posted soon!

[@TheDefensivemaniac]

I have been keeping up with Sasha's N/A build for so long. I remember when the article came out on superstreet about how he was trying to squeeze the most juice out of his DE haha. I love these engines..it was just lacking so many things from the factory tho. HR ftw

[@Contract32Killa]

And guys say high power N/A's are cake to tune compared to turbo. lol Another great video as always fellas! Keep em coming!

[@speedacademy]

Thanks!

[@MidShipCivic]

No you just decided to make up that on your own.... getting the most power out of something doesn't change or make it easier because it's turbo charged or not.

[@Contract32Killa]

MidShipCivic Actually I didnt lol Ive seen people post and say that type of stuff more than a few times. Like "Turbos are so much harder to tune and keep reliable, thats why I stay NA" and some other bs about "turbo cars are never as reliable as NA cars"... I think a guy posted that over in one of the Z forums which is why I thought it was so funny. Some guys actually think NA cars are easy or require 0 tuning. Even if you go HP crazy.

[@MidShipCivic]

The Project Channel Those are comments from enthusiast... they don't even make sense take it as a grain of salt, an NA motor will become far less streetable the more you try to get power out of it though. Unlike a high horsepower modern forced induction engine.

[@geogeo8257]

And you are a douche lol

[@josephc1148]

It snarls. TF. Never heard something like that. Awesome

[@danielbargas3377]

No one is going to come out of hiding until you prove at least 400 whp

[@Blyatarina]

It's already made 420whp.

[@danielbargas3377]

+// “LightSpeedSnail” // prove it

[@eamh2002]

Stock Honda s2000 makes 420hp per 3,5litres :) Thats pretty nuts huh?

[@eamh2002]

Yeah theres some mad engineering done to the car to bring RPM so high and still the engine idles nicely and is a daily driver. In theory though +350hp should be possible from a 2litre straight 4 considering 1litre sport bikes have 180-190hp without ram air effect. Actually If you joined 2 aprilia RSV engines youd get a 2litre v4 with 360hp+..

[@ivannosic9570]

+eamh2002 Thats true.. i wonder why nobody try that

[@cameronhemenway1455]

That Z is nasty sounding! Damn that's awesome!

that is one sick Z and a badass owner

[@ADADIZZLE]

No longer a VQ35 but still very inspirational.

[@doctorlobsteroctopus]

I feel like these cars catch a lot of flack in the car community, but I've always loved 350's and almost bought one. This is such a beautiful track setup, can't wait to see him track it.

[@tylerd8377]

[@Miralem208]

Not a lot of people know about the HR motor. They think all the engines are the same haha

This dyno dude is a pro

[@JOEGGGJOE]

sounds sick. love the fender vents.

[@joshash1221]

that thing, when blipin the throttle, sounds like me gargling moutwash..:-) great car!

[@traxxasslash95]

I'm not an expert, but If the ports don't line up right then that's gonna be a huge power killer, lack of intake velocity is usually a low-end toque killer, not a power killer as the idea is just to get as much air in and out as you can on the top end. Also they should definitely give the heads at least a little port-match and smoothing if not crazy reshaping if you're gonna be going this far into it anyway.

[@willovane787]

how much hp? im too drunk to watch this whole video right now

[@adryanlaksana]

420hp..Get lit!

[@aries6663]

+Adryan Laksana (_volty_) .....just 450?

[@aries6663]

+Kaliyl Mkubwa 420*

[@zackdoubleZ]

Unitarity they still have plenty of room to improve with high compression Pistons they run race gas which means they can run crazy big cams but not without porting up the heads and getting valves that can handle the lift, N/A v8s make 500 pretty easily with just a mild cam on pump gas lol but nascars and trophy trucks make 800-950hp N/A carbureted and there's boosted v8s that get into the 4000hp mark but that's obviously an engineered race motor, the vq making 420hp is pretty good but like he says it's still a basic set up 450 should be easy after the heads are worked other wise that's a lot of money and time for 140hp gain

[@zackdoubleZ]

Unitarity I agree race gas is for the track, gotta pay to play if you know how long all your engine parts last and rebuild accordingly reliability usually isn't an issue but obviously the price will be driven up, winning isn't cheap lol but the 900hp push rod v8s can rev to 9k but aim to stay in 8k range and there are drag race engines that rev much higher N/A not cheap or for the street

[@matari7183]

Awesome car. Keep posting

[@BlakesGarage]

BEAST!!!

[@MyBlkG35]

nice project. what is the timing you end up with throughout the power band? good luck guys!

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

I was gonna ask if the exhaust valves and exhaust itself was free flowing enough to handle the ITBs but you answered it toward the end. Good luck on the road to 450whp n/a 👍

[@slow2by2z]

Few questions. Stock sized valves? Have they considered slightly smaller valves to increase inlet velocity? Doesn't seem like it's gasping for air flow but would have to see the charts and etc. Hope they get it running right!

[@RosserNFT]

VQ for LIFE my 06 350Z at 38K miles still going strong.

[@_gskyline_5512]

38k miles, thats it? Not sure if you're joking or serious.

[@dancarlos1216]

+_GSkyline _ Yeah that's nothing to write home about. But I have been quite impressed with the VQ35DE in my dad's 03, very nice power band and is plenty quick for most people. It's too bad that everyone overlooks the Z cars just because they only think a car is good based on Internet HP hype.

[@bingoberra18]

Need more cams, need 275lbft @ 8600rpm to get 450hp. Does it really need 450 though? 315lbft should be possible with 3.7l so get that at 7500rpm and you got the 450.

[@Curtis1900]

Nice video so the widebody kit actually helps the aero ?

[@ilketama5982]

5:15 sounds like lion

[@ganeshgajavelli1487]

right?! This thing sounds insane!

[@waixis]

Formula Renault got their VQs all the way up to 530hp, but i think they usually ran them at 370-450hp mark. Renault doesnt use them anymore(switched to v8) so you might be able to pick one up from them, they call them V4Y RS

[@speedacademy]

Cool! Thanks for the info!

[@626seb]

You guys should make speed academy license plate frames. I'd buy one!

[@SpiffyBmx]

Now it really has trumpets

[@boostaddict_]

Yeah, I want ITBs on something now. And I now know that I can 3D print them instead of having to buy some or machine them. I'm thinking '85 CRX, D15A2 with a ZF head.

[@kevin_delaney]

Basically stock engine? So are the cylinder heads and cams any different?? It's great if the intake is nice and big but makes little to no difference if the volume of air that enters and exits the head remains stock and the physical cam profile is still what the street VQ's are. Neat, curious what you did wrong though. I'd imagine with fluid dynamics that having an enclosed intake system, where Bernoulli's equations come into play, will always deliver more power.

[@danimal865]

Nothing sounds better than independent throttle bodies.

[@trucavalier]

Best engine i ever owned miss my VQ35

[@SteeltechPC]

Did you guys do an electronic fan conversion? If so, I'd love to see how you did it. Great work guys!

[@ToggleSwitch13]

Hey! Just got a quick question for you guys, if you feel so inclined as to respond :) I'm doing a basic rear mount turbo build on a Maxima at the moment, and was just wondering, how did you meter intake air on those ITB's with no MAF? Are you running solely off wideband feedback for fuel trim? Thank you!

[@speedacademy]

It is tuned by TPS but in your case you can run a MAP sensor and IAT sensor which should be enough. Ofcourse you'll need an ecu capable of tuning that.

[@royyang89]

Good progress!! It's always good to experience new things! Keep it up! I would say probably have too much air flow from the runner. Maybe down size to 55mm tb?

[@luishq9945]

Really cool man!

[@jrue6105]

Sounds pretty damn cool

[@Firion13]

Couldn't you run smaller diameter horns aka smaller venturi to increase velocity? that's what lots of guys do with Weber carbs on various setups.

[@wilkimhernandez]

[@samuelrogers5796]

Camera man putting him on blast.

[@wolfy9005]

Maybe it will pick up some top end on the track if you can get some more air forced up those hoses, to help compensate for the velocity issues?

[@speedacademy]

It's not an air entering problem, its exhaust gases exiting that seems to be the issue.

[@wolfy9005]

Easy fix, straight off the headers?

[@McGrathMotorsports]

this is an HR? pretty nice with no forced induction! My DE pushes 450 410 RWHP with the vortech V3, SCI tuner kit. Pretty cool wrap as well

[@speedacademy]

Yes, that's an HR engine.

[@clonecaptian]

port & Polish the heads and get oversized valves and bigger cams that'd help make more power

[@slow2by2z]

Bigger valves do not always = better. Engines, especially of the NA variety, require lots of testing to squeeze the absolute most power from them. I am curious about how much the length of the velocity stacks plays a role in this engines performance. You are correct in that the head needs to be worked to fit the new throttle bodies though.

[@clonecaptian]

Ik this but they said they need more airflow and bigger valves will give them exactly that and I beleive that the length would effect the actual curve more then overall torque and hp

[@slow2by2z]

+ZEEPOxWiZARD iix From what they are saying, it's not the amount of air but the velocity. If the engine was gasping for air, then the air boxes would add to this problem and cause a greater loss in power. At least that's what my mind thinks the logical conclusion is. Would be great to see a comparison on this engine with larger vs smaller valves and inlets. Heads on NA engines are fickle and 2 engines built by the same shop using the same parts can like different head work. If you make a larger intake tract with the engine demanding the same amount of air, you will necessarily lower the air's velocity through the tract. This can cause the engine to produce less power due to bad air/fuel mixing along with other factors.

[@choppaj247]

Good to see Sashi and kels. haven't seen in years. I wanted those SG headers but missed out and opt for PPE. smh

[@Max23653]

why not just get the GTR heads

[@boostedbuiltgarage]

A nice turbo will help add velocity for those throttles😉

I NEED YOUR ADVICE! Because I am a Motorsport-loving teenager, I want a fun, fast, cheap and reliable 1st car. I would ideally want to upgrade it into a track car. I've decided to pass on the Mazda Miata because I am not going to pay for the entire car myself. I am planning on getting an s2000. Is this a smart purchase? And if so what upgrades should I focus on and in what order? (I have a small budget but I do work)

[@nigelsenchez]

Focus on driver training. Track time. No amount of upgrades will make you a better driver. As for car doesn't really matter as long as it's fun.

[@fantasticpotato]

I am attending a racing school this summer. I also forgot to mention that I wasn't going to upgrade the car IMMMEDIATLY. I would work on the car through out college and beyond. The reason I am looking at s2ks is because I feel like they are easy to learn on (I already drive my fathers BMW M4 stick without problems). So when I do get enough cash, what upgrades shall I purchase first?

[@Tyler-nh7dx]

$2000 Miata.

[@nigelsenchez]

+fantasticpotato something along the lines of. Bucket seat, steering wheel with quick release hub, tires, coils, diff, safety stuff, reliability stuff and don't forget gass. There's your basic upgrades. Don't worry about power. Learn how a car works inside and out, and the physics behind it, and the rest is history.

[@nigelsenchez]

+hello jaja how could I forget, BREAKS.

[@SlowJuviaZ]

i still want those long tubes headers on that Z T-T

[@K20EF8]

I dont know anything about VQs but I doubt a change from 53.5mm to 57mm ITBs could rob 40whp. If anything the top end should peak higher with a loss in the midrange. at 420whp the motor is making 70whp/cyl. In the Honda K-series world, most motors making 70whp/cyl with ITBS run 57-60mm Kinsler
