VQ35HR TT

[TheHat]

Hey I have been hearing a lot of rumors out there about TT kits for the HR motor, wanted to see if anyone knew anything about them. Trying to figure out if I should go with a custom setup from excesive engineering out of apopka FL or wait for APS and the others. Let me know what you guys hear since it seems like there is always someone who knows or has heard somthing that is actually true.

I heard the main guys were going to put out a kit after sema...but I still haven't seen anything.. STS is said to have a remount kit by the end of december. I don't really see a difference who you go with.. if excessive will build you a system using quality parts why not then... Should be sick! Make a custom kit and sell em on Ebay before the market is flooded with em :-D

Excessive engineering claims that if they build me an 07 turbo setup I will make 460whp on the stock block no problem for about 6330, but I wasnt sure if the others were worth getting for the hp/dollar. Plus I heard a rumor saying that the greddy kit requires them to remove some key elements of the car, and the aps kit is going to go for 7g, but these are just rumors thus the reason why I come to NICO, seperating fact from fiction is what I am hoping for.

that 6330 include install and tuning? if so I'd say thats a deal, the HR motors are supposed to have beefier bottom ends but the pistons were the weak point of the VQ so lets hope they are forged now?

I'd think people like JWT, Forged perfromance, Stillen woud be great sources of into for this

It's usually about a year after a change before new things come out. So in 08 a lot of HR parts should come out.

Yeah 6330 installed tuned and ready to go. Thanks for the heads up regarding the companies I should talk to about the beefy internals. Depending on the internals I may be willing to spring an extra few dollars for the part or two that I need have have Lugo put into that 500 whp or better catagory.

be sure to post results here with us.. it should be sick!

According to Stillen the HR motor is good for 6 pounds of boost without any thoughts about tuning. The rep there said that anything over 6 is walking a real fine line. Given this new information is even doing low boost like this on the HR motor even possible or worth it since most default boost levels are at 8 pounds for tt kits. Call me crazy but having a motor that can only take the much boost makes me want to go back to my original plan of a 350 maybe 360 hp NA car. Let me know your thoughts people I could use them.

Also for those of you who want to know they are currently in the process of making a s/c for the HR that will require a intake and exhaust upgrade.

the key to that statement was without tuning, I wouldn't run forced induction without some sort of chip or piggy back, as for most kits running 8 psi, it's just a matter of providing the correct wastegate actuator, that's a very misleading statement, just because the current kits run a specific boost level doesn't mean all kits from here forward will run at that level as well

It makes zero since to spend that kind of money and try to squeeze by without properly tuning for the added fuel and air, and timing control should be a must in any system with forced induction, without proper tuning you won't get the ax performance or saftey from the setup

Nice find. Definately somthing to take into consideration.

Can't wait to see what kind of numbers the HR's put out with a turbo kit.

I am very interested my self I just want to make sure that I am not going to blow a motor in a car that I have not even owned for 4 months yet. Granted I wouldnt be careing about blowing the motor if I had the money for a RB swap but I dont and this is my daily so I really just need to know that once the turbo is in its pritty much turn key from there. My sr motor I had was constant work and worry (Although I was running 25 psi on a stock bottom end) I dont need that type of headache anymore and I defintally dont want to be hearing about from my girlfriend again either. I am going to be calling excessive engineering tomarrow see if they can get my worries to go away and see about when I do this.

[samej82]

25psi?! wowI persnally love the sr motor it's never failed me yet

[TheHat]

Yeah I split piston number 2 and that ended my 342hp G20 shortly after I was forced to sell all my engine swapped cars, terrably inefficent (too many right angle bends in the plumming) but fun as hell. After that I stopped going all out crazy on my cars. Although the Z just begs for power what I am more then willing to give it. Speaking of boost gone bad anyone have any guesses as to how reliable they think this HR would be with a TT on it.

The rods will be your weakest link...IMO, if your gonna spend the money on a good kit, do the rods and pistons too.

I have seen too many blow up.
