VQ35HR

Interesting read about the new SAE certification for horsepower. I guess that explains why the power didn’t impress me much when the engine first came out, and also clears up why the non-rev-up VQ35DE still doesn’t have as much wtq as compared rev-up and HR.

You mean why the non rev-up DE is rated for more wtq than the rev-up and HR, right? In the case of the revup DE, though… the non-revup IS more torquey… they both go by the older SAE standard. Just the HR falls under the new standard.

@XuperXero

Everyone entitled to opinions, but based on my opinions, the HR doesnt have that much potential… I also have to consider the R&D which has to be done before creating new aftermarket support which is costly especially for a new car.

Yes, but your opinions are based on nothing more than your own hunch, and no experience. I can accept that that’s your opinion, but it doesn’t mean anything (no offense intended with that statement). R&D is always expensive for new engines, but it still gets done. That’s nothing new.
