single / twin doesnt matter to me.

a prepped engine for boost allows room for increase down the road.
Plus twin turbos arent all they are cracked up to be, however bmw's design is a perfect way to go for a twin.

If you actually read the article, you would undertsand that R&T made no reference to the G35 getting twin or single turbos, but stated that the coupe will get a de-tuned version of the VQ37HR (no turbos, different pistons, cams, etc.). Honestly, I don't give a damn if it's FI or NA, but 325hp+ from a 3.7l will be awesome.

As long as its competitive to the 335i stock for stock and cheaper, thats all that matters. If the price point jumps to 335i territory and its not FI, its no longer real competition because the 335i is SO easy to mod to 400+hp/torque

I read it the same way and feel pretty much the same in the horsepower department.

Yep. Turbos or not, the new coupe will be a hell of a ride.

I'm quoting this

"A tamer version of this V-6, codenamed VQ37HR-TT, will make its way into the upcoming Infiniti G35 Coupe. Key differences between the engines are that the GT-R's VQ will have the twin turbo*chargers, lighter pistons and connecting rods, as well as a beefed-up crankshaft."

if you read that few times, its pretty much saying that the new G coupe will have the VQ37HR minus the TT.

The differences are the FI prepped internals al la pistons, rods, crank, and most importantly the twins.

correct me if i'm wrong

So if anything i think its safe to speculate a G37 w/ the VQ37HR putting out 330-45ish crank hp

I highly doubt the VQ37HR will make 330HP much less 345HP. The current VQ35HR makes 306HP which is 87HP/L. if the VQ37HP make 330HP, that'd put it @ 89HP/L and 345HP would put it @ 93HP/L. We all know as the engine gets larger, it's harder to squeeze out more HP/L in NA form without additional technologies such as FI or VVL. So unless the VQ37 is a VQ37VE, I highly doubt it can make that #.
