GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

stormcrow

Just reading this thread and some of the comments in it leaves me feeling that, as a forum and community, we take one step forward and two steps back. In truth, these types of threads should never boil down to "shop wars", but seemingly they always do. This build and what GTM is doing is pioneering at its best. For those who disagree, well, I guess you have never been a member of another community and watched the 'typical' progress that occurs over the years. Getting into the 1000whp range is usually a 3-6 year process, if that short.

Mike, good luck with this build. You are in good hands. Of course I will be following this closely.

I had a big response written, but I'm gonna pass out of respect for Bullitt and GTM's build thread. Lets keep this thread on topic folks.

Hopefully you will actually follow your own advice for once...

First, Mike, Congratulations on this big project! I knew you were going big but I never realized you are going THIS big! Hope everything works out for you and special rep for you if you decide to keep the THE370Z decal even after the install .

and it's quite annoying at some times (especially in announcement threads). I can only imagine how frustrating it can be for a vendor to go through all these various conversations . We ALL know that NO SHOP is perfect. Every shop has a story or incident that posted on some forum (and this forum). We all know these stories. I say lets move forward and stop bringing these old stories into "Announcement threads".

Thank you RCZ . As I have said above, there's stories about EVERY shop. In these kind of automotive business (TT/SC install shops), it's quite impossible to go without having one. It's probably the best idea to keep the thread on topic and keep the arguments via pm/email (or at least out of announcement threads).

Thanks.

Bullit, any idea how much power you would get if you did the 4.5L build but kept it N/A with 12.5:1 compression?

Eh, I'm not sure who was turning this into a shop war because "the other company" has not even been mentioned and I have no affiliation with them, but alas I agree that we all have to stop bringing these threads down.

So what's going to be the compression on this motor? I assume you want to take it down a notch?

Id like to know the comp to and intended DD fuel?

The Compression will likely either be in the 9~10:1 range. Thank you to RCZ for keeping on topic and not further derailing the thread.

THANK YOU to AK dude I will be sporting those the370z stickers for a long time to come!!!

To NYBladeZ I am not sure what the final numbers would be with an all NA motor build would be like. That would be a great question for Sam. However, you have to remember this is a sleeved block so it is highly recommended that you upgrade the radiator.

Kastley, we will be running 1000cc injectors daily. My fuel mileage as long as I am getting better than 8-12mpg I will be happy! my old bullitt avg that daily driving.

Bullitt - nice on the 1000cc interested to see how the FCON handles things.

ON the fuel are you going to run pump as a daily squirt? any plans to tune with a higher octane blend?

Body kit is the dogs XX

One of the HKS FCON best capability's is the is option to run any injector size you desire it does have very sold injector drivers so you run low or high impedance and up to a 1600 cc without a glitch. In mike's set up, we will have to run a secondary set of injectors since the 1000 cc injectors won't be enough, The primary injectors will be utilized 80 % of the time then will have the secondary set come in in the higher boost level .

We will go in more details once we are discussing the fuel system in upcoming updates...
