The reality is that basically noone has done anything with the VK engine, so nobody knows for sure which engine is stronger.

Top Secret used a VK45 in a V35 with a couple of big turbo's a few years ago. Got pretty good power, but had a lot of custom gear in it.

what about the supercharged vk56 in the g35? i think it was in dsport magazine! but it had alot of custom parts. although mazworx vh kit is an amazing group of products, just not always within peoples budget! plus there really isn't that much aftermarket for the vk's but it's slowly coming around! i would love to see more vk stuff! but the vh is slowly being proven!

VH has beefier internals and beefier block, lends itself well to turbocharging and NA application.

VK has lighter internals, would probably be the better base for high RPM + cammed out.

Both have excellent head design, and the VH is typically a lot cheaper to get your hands on.
