Forged Performance: VQ37 500whp+..another first!

Hi everyone,

Wanted to share our latest work on the next generation VQ motors. We just finished and installing and tuning our first TT kit on the G37 Coupe. This is the second GTM TT kit we've installed, and the first kit install on a G37.

As usual, the quality and completeness of these kits is second to none. Just like the VQ35HR kit we did last month, these engines just love to rev, and are very efficient at utilizing the boost! We elected to run the big ture GT30 TT kit that GTM offered. Down the road, my customer wants to crank this thing up to 15psi-20psi...but for now, 500whp will have to do! These turbos are still sleeping at just under 12psi. Speaking of sleeper, we hid everything in the cabin, out of sight...this thing looks very stockish. Just some wheels, tires, and a nice drop.

Here is are the basics of the build:
VQ37 VVEL Stock Engine
GTM Stage III TT Kit with TRUE Garrett GT30's (no wheel stuffing here )
GTM Fuel System
800cc Injectors
HKS FCON Vpro with Knock Amp
HKS EVC Boost Controller
Greddy EvoTT Exhaust System
GTM 3 inch dowpipes
FP Bottleneck Restriction

What a fun car to drive now...with tons of power to match the good looks....I hate driving my stock NA G37 now.

Coming from an MR2 environment, I'm curious to know what a setup like this would typically cost?
