    Sell it as a kit, I think you would have plenty of takers over this side of the country too.

    I want to put one in someones car and not have to make anything :D

    Excellent, now I need to find a slicktop, VQ30DD engine and a bunch of cash.

    Got a decent shed, the BBQ all set up and can probably get plenty of girly drinks at short notice so that's a start.

    You are correct.

    From Wikipedia, universally hailed as the most reliable place on earth for technical information::confused::confused:

    Now I just need to find a cheap-ish Stagea halfcut...

    why not just twin turbo a vq30det motor. Saves having to worry about tuning vvt.

    Because it's for a track car and to fit into the class I want to run in I need a normally aspirated engine of up to 3000cc displacement.

    No idea, the project is quite a way off yet unfortunately.

    It does give me the advantage of having a few people like you and Tom troubleshooting the basic concept before I start though, assuming the VQ30DET and VQ30DD are about the same size and shape give or take a turbo and some piping.
