Yes, two valves per cylinder. Can get some good flow out of them tho. This is a Dyno graph of Electramotive's VG30 (180Cubic inch) Nissan V6 engine

965RWHP 760RWTQ :icon_cheers:

I'm not going to claim any numbers without a Dyno sheet, but a friend of mine has a very similar setup that put down 453RWHP 487RWTQ on a 7.8:1 stock bottom end motor on 93 oct pump gas. I have quit of bit of work to do before i start thinking about that. Will be working on Air conditioning, cruise control and driveability first. Then tuning and stuff. :icon_bigsmurf:

I got a little more done on my motor.:icon_cheers:

mmm looks nice, what did you do for the ceramic this time?

[Cobra Rob]

nice and totally different

I like it man. Any bracing for those turbos or just the piping? Just curious. Better add a flex in the exhaust broken mani's suck.

That thing will be an absolute blast to drive no matter what power it makes. Dyno queens = who cares.

I don't need any bracing, and it's single turbo setup. I wont be adding any flex pipe. :icon_bigsmurf:

Jeff, my car was the same as yours when i bought it. I bet your car is faster than mine. I have to have the 2+2 model because of the extra head room. :icon_bigsmurf:

lol, well this sounds like inspiration to me. haha, ive got a couple of t-top covers for a 2+2 and if you have some clips for the t-top windows and covers for a 2 seater I'll trade ya. (this just now occured to me) and keep your eyes open for a turbo oil pan for me.

I probably said Turbos cause i have VG30DETT on the brain. Oh well.

No flex, really? Eeep. Hope it love you long time.
