Ok after a bit of googling and going thru some forums i found it on a g35 forum going back to 06/07 :S...looks like 400whp safely anything over your kinda pushing

[crayzitalian3]

but didn't they have the hr at the time, the vq35hr, it was built stronger and more reliable then the recent g35/350z engine.

check out the de's

400 WHP is the safest our VQ can handle and anything above that is just playing with the engine. That was said to me by Tim at SFR .

Id sit down with Vinny Ten and see what he says... im sure if you say it needs to be 400+, it woudlnt be a problem!

Just realize that if you are pushing over 400 in your A/C, you're going to have some maaaaaaaaad problems trying to steer the car...a FWD car is not meant to have such power, nor can it really handle it...

I will probably keep it around 350-375whp...but im not sure about the clutch next. I wanted to do clutch and flywheel at the same time but no one makes a flywheel for the 3.5 just the clutch only so i may just do that

HR is only in the 07+ sedan and the 07+ Z (I believe, may be the 06 on the Z).

HR and the REV-UP DE engines supposedly have beefed up internals. Not sure about the Rev-up, but the HR does.

I would be leary about putting down 400 hp to the wheels on an A/C. Maybe with an Limited slip transaxle...? A suspension specialist who knows how to deal with torque steer might be able to get the suspension tuned to compensate. Not sure.

[Kalypso]

I think the vq35 does 450 on stock itnernals.. but ive seen them go up to 700hp with rods...over 800 requires sleaves Im guessing.

over 1000 is sleeves for sure.
