2J Swapped 350Z.....

You have to remember, the VQ35 is light. it's lighter than the VQ30 it replaced and that was 100lbs lighter than the VE30DE iron block V6 it replaced.

Well the thing is you don't have to "build" the 2jz at all. Unless you are going over some insane hp number. ie... 700hp or so.
How much power below 6k rpm would a 700-800hp VQ35 have? Maybe a bit more because of the .5 liter more in cubic inches but probably not much more.

I was also refering to the high whp ST supras that had no power below 6k

+1 +1
yeah the VQ is gonna get there...the supra has had 15 years to build 1000+hp engines.... we'll get there...wait and see

you're missing the point
you're missing the pointbecause those are known to break down after you drive them off the lot.
and whens the last time you ahve seen a 1800hp one of those?

1800hp supra or this? http://videos.streetfire.net/video/00f3255f-85a0-44d7-9c0f-983c00042243.htm
I wonder which one would be faster?

Understood. And I'm not trying to play down the VQ either. I note you're TT so, you have more into this than my meager engine!
