[pta slowchat] TopSecret Skyline 800+hp

quote:

Smoky's latest bandit is this JDM Skyline CV35, or what we roundeyes know as the Infiniti G35 Coupe. When most of us hear Skyline, dreams of the monstrous GT-R begin to dance through our heads. However, there is no GT-R model for this current generation Skyline--yet. For the '07 model year, Nissan will throw down with an all-new GT-R. Rumors abound regarding the specs, and those techno twerps from our sister publication, Sport Compact Car, even ran a shot of a test mule on the cover of their Feb. '05 issue. Early speculation, pontification, and downright guesstimation predict that the powerplant will be anything from a turbo'd 3.0-, 3.2-, or 3.5L variant of the VQ-series V-6 to either an NA or a turbo VK45 V-8.

Such conjecture can create an untold amount of talk from us, but not from Smoky. Rather than talk about it or wait for it, Smoky built his own Skyline CV35 GT-R. While there are many twin-turbo kits on the market for the VQ, and Nissan's GT-R will probably be offered with the same configuration, this was not enough for the Top Secret GT-R.

Smoky plucked a plus-size 4.5L VK45 V-8 from a Nissan Cima (our Infiniti Q45) to drive his Skyline. But a GT-R, be it from Nissan or Top Secret, just isn't a GT-R without some boost. To this end a matched set of HKS GT2835 turbos was plumbed into the mix. To handle the power, VQ30 rods and pistons were employed in the bottom end. Because a twin-turbo V-8 demands massive amounts of fuel and air, two Bosch fuel pumps force-feed Top Secret 720cc injectors while a pair of Pulsar throttle bodies brings in the air. The star of the air/fuel show is the Top Secret original surge tank intake manifold. This piece is so bad it's good, with its flawless finish and exquisite fabrication. Keeping everything cool like Fonzie is an ARC radiator and an intercooler set up in a righteous V-mount configuration. When the tuning is complete, Smoky estimates that his GT-R hybrid will put down in excess of 800 hp!
