600HP ALL-MOTOR 4.2L VQ 350Z Track Day 

Mother of god...... best sounding VQ ive ever heard.......

Turbos are cool and all, but there’s nothing like a sorted N/A motorsport spec engine.

That thing is inspirational for all us VQ owners

sounds like a straight up GT3 race car now, holy shitballs

Good lawd! That thing sounds like a damn monster man!

It's a 420z now 😂🤣

That engine note has a little 911 RSR in it. Its like a Porsche playing the trumpet.

This should be one of those random cars you've never heard of added to Gran Turismo

LONG LIVE THE NA MOTOR!!! Brings a tear to the eye!!! Amazing job on all the work that has gone into this car. Would love to know the number of hours Sasha has pumped into this thing....... Reminds me of my little baby..

now that’s the best sounding VQ in the world ever, music to my ears 😍

I was present during filming at TMP, it sounds even better in person! Good seeing amazing things coming out of Toronto!

My God the sound gave me goosebumps holy shit, wow what a car 😳

Holy crap that sounds savage! Incredible sounding machine! Never thought I'd say that about VQ!

VQ'S are a good sounding engine..as long as young dbags don't straight pipe them!

Great build, I love Sasha's approach to development of this thing

420Z

Sometimes I like to come back and watch this and other videos of Sasha and Kels just to hear that amazing piece of performing art he built. Poetry in motion. Best sounding VQ engine that I have ever heard in my life.

OMFG... this sounds FUCKKKKKKING AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESOMEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the sound of traction control on a race vehicle. The first time I heard it was on my friends race bike (Suzuki GSX-R600)

I absolutely hate working on these engines but my god do they sound glorious.

The oil pressure pulsation is really no concern, basically, as long as the bottom end is holding up. Bearing wear will be your first indicator. It seems you're sampling fairly quickly, so you're actually seeing the pressure difference peak-peak with data acq aliasing. You're going to need to a faster DAQ and a lab grade pressure transducer like a high UNIK 5000 to actually capture the wave form at about 3-4kHz. I don't know how this Frankenstein engine is setup as far as timing drive, but what you are probably seeing is the oil pulsation from the timing chain tensioner. The tensioner will be most affected by the camshaft closest to the tensioner, however the VQ has a rather strange 3 chain setup with the exhaust cams running off the intake cam gear, so I'm not sure how that affect this pulsation. In a typical DOHC engine with a single timing chain, this is caused by the tension varying in the chain as each ramp on the cam(closest to the tensioner) lobe imparts a force on the valve and then the slack from the valve closing. In any case, it's normal for timing chain engines to have as much as 300kPa difference peak-peak from this pulsation. If you have VTC, you can actually see the phase shift in the oil pressure (relative to crank position) from the cam timing change if you're able to sample fast enough. I'd try to capture the peak-peak min and if it's >250-300kPa, send it! Even with aliasing you can probably capture the min pressure if you can hold a steady state condition for a few seconds. In other news, I really love the development on this car! Proper engineering and fabrication skills.

Mother of God. The sound!!!! Thank you for the in-car footage, that Z is gonna be a beast when he gets it dialed in!

Always great to see how real you people are, no hiding at all. Anybody that is into real world racing knows how much can go wrong anf actually goes wrong. Thanks so much for sharing!

This is a higher level that the usual street racing videos out there. I truly enjoy this

Ohhhhh wowwww I would push my first born kid down a flight of stairs for that motor.

Thank you guys for following this build. Easily one of my favorites. I cannot believe how much R&D has gone into this over the years. Its like a prototype every time we see it come back.

I love how detailed you and sasha get in the talks and how open he is to talk about a race car. As a VQ fanboi, I love this content. I may be doing a VQ swap into a Nissan Laurel in the future [I also own a G37] Much love from Alberta!

What a monster, absolutely beautiful. Turbos are very cool, but I absolutely love the raw violent power that well built N/A engine have.

I've kind of forgotten about this channel amidst the slew of car enthusiast options on youtube, but this one really sucked me back in. I guess it doesn't help there isn't a decent road racing track anywhere near me so I've always been more interested in drag, drift, and rally content. But man I do love most of the cars that you guys feature on your channel. Gonna go dig through all the ones I've missed. Thanks for the awesome vides, cheers!

Sounds like a Le Mans prototype. Such a beast of a car. Great build

Incredible sounds coming out of that engine! The car looks properly fast!

Always wish I could have a powerful engine like this in my vq37 q60, never thought an N/A setup could be this powerful, and sound so incredible

That sounds better than the current f1 cars

Rotary-level sound inducing! Amazing!

love this! the 4.2 setup is my dream vq build lol. when i get back into a z im definitely gonna do this!

Thanks again for always keeping us up to date with high quality footage of sasha's unreal car. He's a man of few words, so it's appreciated that you guys can get some media and some insight from him. Cheers

For the oil pressure, why not plug in a mechanical gauge on the dyno as a back up. Run it a few times to see how that reads.

This car is insane, I'm in love with this engine build and everythings that goes around it. Strong work.

IT makes every bit of the most beautiful sounding engine i've heard for all motor

Good lads with the onboard footage and those shots of the car flying down the straight at 9.00 was pure eargasm

Damn, you guys gotta let me know next time you take this car out, I wanna see it in person. The sounds this car makes is savage!

I'm not only surprised by a VQ that sounds good, but a VQ that sounds top tier.

Wow I‘m impressed! For once a VQ that doesn’t sound like complete garbage

NA All Day Everyday!!!!! 💪🏼

This is the perfect example of "not every showcar is a racecar, but every racecar is a showcar". Temporal panels, scraches, a fucking hole in the hood... i love that light "mad max" aura that surrounds this car without loosing the performance (ok, some performance, but still fast as heck boii).

Is this engine rebuild the first of it's kind? Love the fact that it is N/A. She screams. And 600 is a very respectable number. The interior seems to be very sorted and well built. I have never heard of this stroked out VQ, but I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing more if it. And that's great!

Got damn that thing is amazing!!

This puts a new meaning to ALL MOTOR lol because this car is all motor now and ductape. God bless Sasha for this green beast :)

Granted the Busso V6 might be the best sounding V6 ever, this though, this ain’t bad at all. Damn I love NA

Wow, that engine sound gave me an eargasm!

Honestly can't find anybody else on youtube with an NA VQ with this much hp

That sounded absolutely phenomenal

i just fell in love with KELS all over again. great job guys

Sound like a lil baby lambo v12, best VQ sound I've seen to date

God damn that VQ does actually sound fantastic.

Car sounds great. Has that classic mechanical sound. I would've loved to hear more from the outside of the car. Oh well. Cool race track too.

Holy shit! Best sounding VQ in the world!

Only want and love for that engine and car!! That sound, the power delivery and the tech involved!!

Why is everyone saying "finally a good sounding VQ"? Are you kidding me? Every VQ made sounds absolutely phenomenal. There is not one V6 sound that can get me to turn my head other than the famous VQ. Those engines sound phenomenal with their V10-like sound.

Sounds amazing

In my opinion you cant make a vq sound good which makes this guy a wizard because this thing sounds nuts

Shasha is a genius. I love the new hybrid setup!

haha brutally honest at 8:35 about traction and abs

I could listen to this all day😭

i was gonna say that sasha would forever hold the title for best sounding vq with the vert he had, or this car in it's previous iterations.. but inevitably this is just him one upping himself. rad to see

screams like a champ! amazing sound

Saw this at CSCS on Sunday, driver is insanely talented, and car is amazing

Have the same engine and absolutely love it, not as many mods tho😂

That actually sounds insanely good

Best sounding vq ever wtff

I’m not a VQ guy but wow, this car is amazing!

Awesome! Sick build. Great video 👍

One of the best sounding cars I ever heard

Making good power without power adders is not for everyone thats why all pos go boosted and thats why i say Congrats for this incredible build!!!!!!

The gearing also seems very good for this track.

dude...that thing sounds like a monster! Damn!💪

Nice work Sasha! Need to see the sequel to this video soon

Sounds amazing. Can't wait to get back to Cayuga again and rip it around the track! :D

This is an incredible car. Thanks for sharing it with us.

This is probably The first time I can say the vq is a good sounding engine and yes I own a 350z I plan to sell this year

That car is a fire breathing demon! DP how about giving us rotary guys some love??? Been a long time since we have seen any rotary madness

I might be wrong but isnt this the most powerful N/A 6 cylinder on the planet? 600hp with N/A 6 cylinder engine is mental. The noise that thing makes is insane.

Sasha ripping it!!! Sounds incredible!

Beast sounds amazing

That thing sounds amazing!!! Also cool to see someone tracking their Veloster N already :)

Sounds amazing Sasha! What a machine.

kinda sad my vq will never be to this point but god damn, i love this

Best sounding vq in the world

This is one of the handful of vqs that sound amazing

Sounds amazing ! Love an NA build !

Oh yeah it sounds amazing!

NA for life what a sound !! Sick build.

Sounds amazing. This is making me want to follow the same route. Good stuff.

That traction control sound cutting in sounds godly.

Great choice in belts Sasha. I have the same ones in my Z.

Mannn ive seen this car go through so much lol Honestly have videos of the SG days in red, 10 or so years ago! what dedication to an awesome ride!

I know...the stututu is a thing....but Highly Tuned N/A always get a special place in my heart....damn sound...

that flash moment in oil pressure variation could possibly be from cornering forces. to confirm if that's a real possibility, would have to extrapolate lap time to engine operation time to the second; matching moments in time where the car is cornering to moments in time where the engine is seeing oil pressure variation could possibly be a logical method to see if this is what's taking place. even if it isn't what's taking place, having the data from lap time to engine operation time, could see what parts of the track & engine load condition it is taking place.

Man!!! That engines sounds awesome!!!!! Nice build!!!!

Sounds Sooooo good!! Cant wait to see how it does after fixing the issues. Gonna be a rippa!
