Forged Performance: GTM Twin Turbo VQ37VHR G37

Sharif@Forged · 12-10-2008, 10:38 AM

Hi everyone! Thanks for having us on the370z.com forum. We are looking forward to building some very impressive 370Z's. Since the G37 shares much of the same drivetrain and suspension as the 370z, we are pretty much ready to hit the ground running.

Someone had asked earlier about the power and boost limitations on stock block VQ37's. For now, about 10-12psi, and 500whp is a very good safe limit. This is about 100whp more than we recommend on stock block VQ35's. Nissan did an incredible job strengthening the block, crackshaft, and rods. Unfortunately, the pistons, IMHO, are still a weak design, so we have to be careful with how hard you push the engine.
Like all things, time will tell, but this engine is a quantum leap forward in engineering and design, and we are excited to be among the first shops to work on them.

Almost sounds too good to be true. 500whp on a stock block...

Can't wait to get more info on this...

Also Sharif, if you need someone to do some independent testing of your products in the florida heat. PM me

Looks impressive.

I'll hopefully be re-joining the Z ranks and joining the boosted 370Z ranks sometime next year.

I'll be giving you guys a call if and when that time comes.

chinny · 12-10-2008, 04:57 PM

I will be also boosting my 370z :]

I just really hope that there will be a plethera of smog legal forced induction parts for us cali guys and gals.

LiquidZ · 12-21-2008, 08:17 PM

How is the car handling the power Sharif?

18rgcelica73 · 12-23-2008, 10:57 PM

Are there going to be any smog legal turbos out for this engine, because this time I really want it all legal over here in Fresno.

Very unlikely. JWT tried everything, and was unsuccessful at getting CARB expemption, as was APS.

18rgcelica73 · 12-24-2008, 10:31 PM

Wow that really sucks bad. I wish that more automotive aftermarket groups would lean more towards legality than high horse power for us that have to deal with smog.

xDIEGOx · 12-25-2008, 01:18 AM

There's always Vortech...

18rgcelica73 · 12-27-2008, 12:01 AM

Yeah but the only thing that sucks is that turbos are way more efficient in making power. You don't have to lose power to make power with a turbo.
