VK45DE in a 350Z

Just wondering what it will take to put a VK45DE engine into a 350Z. Instead of going the FI way.

 

They used it themselfs in the 350Z Super GT car.

Motorsport

The VK45DE was previously used in Nissan's 350Z Super GT car, replacing the previous VQ30DETT used in that car in 2007. In race trim, the Super GT VK45DE produces 500 PS (490 hp) and 52 kg·m (510 N·m; 380 lbf·ft) of torque.[2] The engine idles at around 3500 RPM and is restricted to the above specified power output. Without such restrictions, the engine is reputedly capable of producing nearly 800 PS (790 hp).[3] Nismo reasons that by using the engine, they eliminate turbo-lag, save weight and generally prefer the torque curve of the atmospheric V8.

Hhhmm I'd guess it will take a lot of money. :D

 

You can get a Brian Crower stroker kit for the VQ35DE which can increase the capacity to 4.15L. Add different cams etc for more performance and I'd imagine that would be a cheaper option than a race spec VK45DE.

 

Not sure how that would compare to the above though power wise. :shrug:
