Jeeez Buzzard, What 'spotters' fee do you get from supporting these motors? Lets see what happens at Milbrodale....will the Honda domination finally end?
Still unsure Buzzard, But hoping milbrodale will be the first rung in the ladder to "subylite dominance" How many engines will you have there...I think the odds are in hondas favour?
VQ30 is 3.0, VQ35 is 3.5 etc. VQ30DE is what justin watt is running, I think VQ30DETT is in Rentchs.
Wiki about the VQ series:
[edit] VQ30DD The 3.0 L (2,987 cc) VQ30DD features direct injection (NEO-Di) and eVTC. It produces 230 to 240 PS (169 to 177 kW) @6400 rpm and 217 to 228 ft·lbf (294 to 308 Nm) @3600 rpm. In the Nissan Stagea M35 it produces 260 PS (191 kW) @6400 rpm and 239 ft·lbf (324 Nm) @4800 rpm.
[edit] VQ30DE The 3.0 L (2,987 cc) VQ30DE produces 190 to 227 hp (142 to 169 kW) @6400 rpm and 205 to 217 ft·lbf (277 to 294 Nm) @4400 rpm. Bore and stroke are 93 mm and 73.3 mm with a compression ratio of 10.0:1. The VQ30DE was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list from 1995 through 2001. It is an aluminum open deck block design with microfinished internals and relatively light weight.
An improved version of the VQ30DE is known as the VQ30DE-K. The K designation was for the Japanese word kaizen which translates to "improvement". The engine was used from 2000-2001 Nissan Maxima and adds a true dual-runner intake manifold for better high-end performance compared to some earlier Japanese and Middle-East market versions of this engine. The VQ30DEK produces 222 hp (166 kW). The 1995-1999 US spec VQ30DE was equipped with only a single runner intake manifold.
It is fitted to the following vehicles:
19941998 Nissan Cefiro (A32), 217 hp (162 kW) and 206 ft·lbf (279 Nm) 19951999 Nissan QX (A32) 19951999 Nissan Maxima (A32), 190 hp (142 kW) and 214 ft·lbf (291 Nm) 19961999 Infiniti I30 (A32), 190 hp (142 kW) 20002001 Nissan Maxima (A33), 222 hp (166 kW); 227 hp (169 kW) for Anniversary Edition SE 20002001 Infiniti I30 (A33), 227 hp (169 kW) 19992003 Nissan Bassara U30, 220 hp (164 kW) and 206 ft·lbf (280 Nm) 19982003 Nissan Presage U30, 220 hp (164 kW) and 206 ft·lbf (280 Nm)
[edit] VQ30DET The 3.0 L (2,987 cc) VQ30DET is a turbocharged version of the VQ30DE. Bore and stroke are the same at 93 mm and 73.3 mm respectively, and it has a compression ratio of 9.0:1. It produces 270 PS (199 kW) and 271 ft·lbf (368 Nm) From 1998 onwards, it produces 280 PS (209 kW) @6000 rpm and 385 ft·lbf (387 Nm) @3600 rpm.
[edit] VQ30DETT The twin-turbo VQ30DETT is an engine used in Nissan's race cars, primarily in the Super GT (formerly the JGTC). First used on the Skyline GT-R race cars during the 2003 season, this engine currently powers the Fairlady Z race cars - homologation rules allow them to use the VQ30DETT in lieu of the stock VQ35DE. Race output of this engine is estimated at around 480 PS or approximately 473 hp (353 kW).

[edit] VQ35DE
VQ35DE longitudinally mounted in a Nissan 350Z The VQ35DE engine installed in a 2007 Nissan MaximaThe 3.5 L (3498 cc) VQ35DE is used in many modern Nissan vehicles. It uses the same block found in the VQ30DE, but adds variable valve timing. It has a bore of 95.5 mm and stroke of 81.4 mm. Output ranges from 240 hp to 301 hp (179 to 228 kW) and 246 ft·lbf to 287 ft·lbf (334 to 390 Nm).
The VQ35DE is built in Iwaki, Japan and Decherd, TN. It was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list from 2002 through to 2007. It features forged steel connecting rods, a microfinished one-piece cast camshaft, and Nissan's nylon intake manifold technology. It has low-friction molybdenum-coated pistons and the intake system is a high-flow tuned induction system.
A modified version of the VQ35DE, called the S1, is produced by Nismo (Nissan's motorpsorts and performance division) for the Fairlady Z S-Tune GT. It produces 300 PS or 285 hp (220 kW) at 7200 rpm - a higher rev-limit than that of the original VQ35DE. The 350Z GT-S concept has a VQ35DE equipped with a switchable Novidem supercharger, producing around 377 hp (281 kW) with the supercharger switched on. The engine may possibly be referred to as the VQ35DER if the GT-S goes into production.
It is fitted to the following vehicles: North American

[edit] VQ35HR Nissan updated the VQ line for 2007 with the addition of the 3.5 L VQ35HR (for "High Revolution" or "High Response"). It produces 315 PS or 306 hp (232 kW) @6800 rpm and 268 ft·lbf (358 Nm) @4800 rpm, using a compression ratio of 10.6:1. It has NDIS (Nissan Direct Ignition System) and CVTC with hydraulic actuation on the intake cam and electromagnetic on the exhaust cam. Redline is 7500 rpm. The intake is a high-flow tuned induction system.
