Ok dudes,

I am curious about FI on the G37....anyone else interested??? Is there anything from Greddy, Vortech, APS, etc about this car?

After having a G35 with TONS of mods the only thing that car DIDNT have was Forced Induction of some sort - so this time around im thinking that is something i have to do.

Any info you have - post it up in this thread

 

I'm assuming they'd come out with some type of Twin Turbo system.

How much did a TT kit for the G35 cost?

 

TT for the G35 was like 5k for the kit...then a few stacks for the install + tune. To do it right you need at least 10k.

 

i'm think tt all the way, with the intake set up it's almost a no brainer. I'll be waitin patiently for somethin good to come out.

here's a "what if" i'm no expert on this, but what if there was a way to slap on more than 2 turbos? lol

 

FI is not going to be easy on this car. Anyone wanting to jump into it needs do do some serious research. First off, the VQ37HR is nothing like the VQ35DE. And similarly, it has a higher compression than the VQ35HR (11:1) which will be a royal pain in the *** for any would-be boosters.

Good luck.

 

Agreed. Thats why we start talking about it now

 

It will be interesting to see who the first company is to come out with a kit for the G37.

 

I would feel more comfortable boosting VQ35DE/VQ35HR than a VQ37VHR.

Boost + 11.0:1 compression is a scary thought.

Lower compression pistons are definately a must for this car.

.

 

im oblivious to what you just said, im not big on knowing the engine as detail specific. What exactly does that mean, why is high compression bad with turbo and why is it a scary thought? I hope you can explain as simple as possible lol? And even if it would be a pain in the *** and difficult WILL it be possible with the high compression ratio, will companies be able to offer FI.
Im also assuming that either supercharge or tt would be safer than the other with the high compression ratio.

 

Lower compression pistons will take the comp. ration down making it safer to run higher boost. Lots of turbo cars do this.

If you want to learn more about turbos, there are tons of places to read up on this...start here www.google.com Seriously, just snoop around...youll find some good stuff.

 

thnx alot! yea im def. gonna do some research, you may be the reason why ill end up having the badest G37 around (if i dont get my GTR)

 

Simply put, when adding forced induction onto a high compression motor, you risk detonation. Detonation is when the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder explodes before it is supposed to. This could be fatal for the engine.

 

I gotcha, that would be very very bad. Will it be very unlikely that a company will make a FI kit for this car or they will but it will be very costly?
If so, is all you need to do is to get lower compression pistons?

 

But with a higher compression ratio, you dont need to run that many pounds of boost on the motor... So why not just rub 5lbs or something... I'm sure it can be possible right?

 

i think sam @ gtm is going to have a tt g37 for sema in late october for the show, should be the first one..he made a thread about it on driver...
