The first iteration of his HR engine used a VQ37 crankshaft, VQ35HR heads, JE Pistons high-compression pistons, 53.5mm intake trumpets, and Jim Wolf Technology cams. After reaching the limits of the VQ35DE, Sasha decided to install a VQ35HR - a rare version of the VQ with high-flow heads, among other improvements. With the handcuffs removed, Sasha Anis began to explore the VQ’s potential, somewhat conservatively. No longer shackled by stringent rulebooks, he pushed the VQ engine to its limit. One brave privateer racer wanted to explore the limits of this oft-derided V6, and after a year of restricted running in Koni Challenge with his 350Z, he turned it into a sprint-race and time-attack car. While it’s not known for making dragster-levels of power as easily as a VR38DETT, it’s still a stout, light, and compact engine with plenty of potential. Perhaps the Nissan VQ-series engine doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
