+1 on that question.
we can have it all done in between 2 weeks and a month. that will be plenty of time...
possibly shorter but that would be safe.

The HR engine in the 350Z and VHR in the G37 are two totaly different animals, this does not mean that you can't turbo charge the G37. But just throwing a turbo on a car does not make it a well designed and effectiant turbo kit. I think the key to turboing these cars is to have full control over the factory ECU with a solid engine mangement like HKS F Con. As long as you don't have full contol over the factoy ECU, it will always be a bumpy road .
R & D is expensive specialy with a complete new platform like the HR,VHR,and the VR38dett. We are approaching the 300 k mark, so far in the HR and VHR R & D cost alone .
Good luck to Performance Factory and who ever goes for this . Keeps us posted.

^+1 on that i never said you couldnt but, this car is nothing like any other. you will see once you get into it and unless you have the capabilities of fabricating your own parts or unless you want to do a shoppy job you are going to have a very hard time doing it and doing a good job. but i never said you couldnt just going to take time...for the good of the car please dont rush it. talk to sam clint guys that have done the fabrication and the research... good luck its take s very trusting guy to just give you a 40,000+ car to you to do this on...

yes sir, i fully agree. i know that we can make it work though, without a doubt. it might take a little while for some R and D but in the end, it will run and run top notch.
i had to choose the Haltech on the system we did due to the fact that i cant get into the back of the FCon to control the different crank patterns. Many osilloscope datalogs and countless hours on the phone with Hal at Injected and we figured out how to do something that many people arent doing yet.
thanks everyone and maybe i will go buy a G37 to twin turbo

Uhhhhh, are you guys seriously bashing performance factory? We're not talking about putting turbos on an E46 M3. I can already tell you guys that you're gonna have almost the exact same issues with your cars (as the G35s). You'll have some equivalent of the 400 whp rule, your engines may take more boost, but I guarantee your transmissions probably won't. So it's really not that complex, you make a couple metal tubes that allow current turbos to bolt on, and you run boost that you know a G35 could take with a stock block. The hard part is the electronics, which, as with all other cars, will become easier and easier as time goes on, vendors get more familiar with what's available, and new products come out.
[Before I get flamed for being a "newbie", I own an supercharged G35 making 403 whp, I've been a member of driver for a while now].
P.S. good luck (seriously) with FI, there are gonna be a lot of hurdles you never see coming.

Its just a matter of time before the ECU and tuning are figured out...Performance Factory would be on the top of my short list if anyone were to TT my car. I've read nothing but satisfied customer reviews. Can't wait to see what numbers they're gonna be able to produce on our engines once things get ironed out.
