Looks good. Why a G35 tranny though? I'm sure cost was alot of it, but a T56 seems like it would make more sense.

Also, I'm in the talks with a friend of mine, trying to buy back my old FD.

If you do get it can I please take a ride shotgun ... I've always always wanted an fd...

Now with a child my dream has died until she's 18

Cost was a factor but not as big of a factor as the double over drive in T56s. The few people that have done SR to T56 didn't really have great things to say about that. It was definitely an option though.



If I get it back, then yeah for sure. Might let you drive it if I like you enough. lol, no promises though

you seem like a pretty cool guy

nice build

Getting NE farther on the 180? Been waiting for updates.

Good news for me I'm getting a bigger bonus this year so I think I'm a do an sr swap.
I usually put my bonus check into my 68 cam. But getting sick n tired of not having fun on the road.

Dropping my VQ30/35 hybrid project and swapping over to SR20 to have a reliable drift project. (Engine compartment has too much damn heat, the manifold placement is a real PITA)

Anyways, it also must be nice to have a top mount turbo with no worries unlike the USDM 240s that cause issues with the brake booster.

Is there a reason you dropped the Tomei 7960 build? (wanted more power?, seems moot when the long run it'll be better off with a jz/ls swap)

What cams are you using? Oil pan?

During the summer I plan on going the m8270 route since the power curve climbs past 6500 unlike the 7960.

I still hope you don't plan on rocking the 10k rpm like you mentioned in the last thread. Sure your engine might be able to handle it, but that transmission is just a shrapnel bomb waiting to happen.

Let's not forget the horrible reputation of the 3rd gear grind those 6-speeds love to have.

I'm mainly interested in your choice of cams.

Been pretty busy with work lately actually. I just got back from Toyota Canada Inc. head office for some training actually.

I got the G35 transmission mounted on the car though, notched the shifter hole so it would fit. The shifter sits farther back so it looks like I'm permanently in 4th.
Gonna take some getting used to but I'm sure I won't have an issue with it.





It pretty much just turned into a lets see what we can squeeze out of this tiny 4 banger kind of thing actually.

I changed my whole head set up though. I'm running the most aggressive OEM cams (N1) on the VE head.
I was considering going with Kelford cams since they're pretty much the only company that makes cams for the VE head (that I trust) but I don't think I need them as of yet.

Running OEM det oil pan, I have a tomei one somewhere on the shelves at the unit so I just have to go look for it.

You can run the Tomei solid 270/270 set up with the 8270 and it will run REAL nice, but you've gotta do springs/retainers/lifters.

The VQ tranny is a lot more robust than the SR tranny so if I were to run all the way to 10k, I have confidence it will do fine.

What bore fixture were those flow #'s on and do you know if there was a pipe on the exhaust? I'm not used to looking at import head flow numbers so I'm curious.

If I recall correctly, these were done on an SF600 fixture with a 4.25" bore fixture. Both heads with their respective intake manifolds, open exhaust ports.
I'm pretty sure these were SAE corrected as well, not entire sure. I saved the numbers when someone on the forums posted them but not the set up.
