Just wondering how many of you would like to see Infiniti start putting twin turbos in there '08s or at least offer the option.I don't think they do now,at least not my dealer.

 

Good luck with that one. It won't pass emissions so they won't do it here in the US. Some dealers will install the Stillen supercharger because it's CARB approved. Maybe one day we will get an oem turbo like the BMW 335 but not any time soon.

 

^^ +1

 

Well nissan is supposeably going to put twins on the 08 skyline..so maybe.

 

^^^^ You mean 08 GTR? We are already driving the Skyline.

 

ya useless post. the gtr will be tt, no point is stealing marketshare from themselves.

 

Forget twin turbos. I'd much rather have a 400-500hp 16-valve pushrod LS6 or LS7. It would be more compact and lighter than a twin-turbo setup, far less moving parts, and that killer V8 sound.

 

Have you heard the TT RB26? That is a killer sound in itself. That's the best Nissan sound I've heard yet. Plus it's cheap and easy to do a little tweaking on a TT setup. Once you hook up the Turbo timer, everyone will inquire why you're leaving your engine on when you leave the car. Classic.

 

I'd still much rather have an LS-series V8 in a G35 because it's lighter (far lighter than the iron block RB26), it's more compact, fewer moving parts, super easy to work on, and makes insane gains with a cam, head, and longtube headers. You're talking about 500-600+whp/500wtq with a super fat power band and no waiting for power.....at any rpm, any gear. I can only dream.

 

Hate to sound dumb,but who makes the LS?

 

General Motors.

 

The LS is from the Corvette, Comaro, Firebird, and GTO.

 

I think if Infiniti does up the ante with a V8, it would be the Q45/M45 engine.

The thing is, Infiniti does have a TT V6 coming in the GTR as said. It would of course have to be detuned as not to compete with the GTR but it's certainly possible.

As far as a RBTT engine.

 

I can't see Inifiniti going Twin Turbo. The VQ35 has yet to be untamed. Lots of potential left.

 

It's too bad the GM and Nissan merger didn't go through. That would be a sweet car.
