GT-R turbos on the VQ37

1slow370 · 03-17-2022, 07:03 PM

case in point a 1000+ hp hollinger is the same price as a QD90 but the hollinger sells 10 times better than the quaife because the z is a budget option to start with. GTR owners buy 15K transmissions left and right but liberty has a hard time selling a 1500$ faceplate kit for the z.

also most of the people buying the faceplate kit for the cd009 are probably adapting it to a 2j or an ls beacuse a cd009 with faceplates is stronger and is still cheaper than a t56 or a getrekt

Wait, so is there or isn't there a kit for the CD009/JK?

I've been eyeing the ZF 8HP kits; though fairly large weight penalty compared to a manual.

Clarify VR38 cause the VR30 is a major downgrade

Keep your story consistent guys

sheesh

both are open deck blocks and both seem to hold roughly around the same power levels, perhaps with the vr30 being slightly more reliable at those levels. effectively, if you're going for power, the difference is negligible. Stock vs stock vr30 is hands down obviously better simply because it has factory turbos.

I tune the new 3.0s all the time, honestly nothing will ever sell me on them because they sound worse than a 4 cylinder.. disgusting noise no matter what exhaust they have

Ditto. It's a compilation of the rev limit, LSA, turbo size, and exhaust design. Changing the exhaust doesn't fix the rest but some kids will prefer the mess that is the vr30's exhaust note. It's like it can't decide wether it wants to pop, burble, or rev
