Every video with this guy blows my mind.

AWESOME build. I wish I knew At least half of what Sasha knows software and electrical. VW group needs to hire him to build some nice cars.

Sasha is on that next level Props to that man for the level of knowledge he has accumulated

VQs generating 480 hp ran in 2011 already, in the "World series by Renault" Formula V6 race cars. Wonder what kind of magic was done to those engines back then that did not make its way into the tuner world

This would literally be the perfect application for supercapacitors. They're lightweight regen great and then you can charge the battery as well. And it would also help buffer the batteries.

I seriously can't wait to hear that thing go full beans at the dyno!

I literally blew my water out of my mouth when I head 15:1 compression ratio on the new pistons. What you guys are doing is literally mind blowing. Who can I contact to build an engine similar to this one?

Love these nerd out sessions.

How much power do you think it will make...... Sahsa: SNNNIIIFFFF 🤧

I salute Sasha for his pioneering spirit in regard of complimenting electric powerplants in to this level of motorsports. Im really jealous at his abilities and bravenes to work at those areas! All the best for you...

Jesus Christ man "Actually my name is Sasha"

Sasha is the man, can’t wait to see him get the hybrid system all sorted and for the car to become a serious time attack machine.

best sounding trombone around i bet. a VQ im actually itching to hear. awesome stuff man

Lmao that thing makes more HP than my Z does on 10lbs I’d boost 🤣🤣😫😫

I want to do this basically with a naturally aspirated rotary. Except instead of some company in Switzerland, repurpose a CRZ transmission

I can't wait for the hybrid system!

This has got to be my favourite racecar build ever. Sasha is nerd goals

Amazing. Some questions for Sasha if he cares to answer them maybe next video. Is this still a DE block or the taller deck height HR block? I presume by the cam bucket conversation that this is still DE heads, not the rocker type 3.7 heads. What’s the new stroke compared to stock? I know the trucks 4.0 use a 92mm stroke compared to the 3.5s 81.5mm. Are these off the shelf S2000 rods that are used to create a ‘long rod’ engine for reduced piston side load or some other reason? How high are you going to rev this engine? Is valve train or piston speed the limiting factor? Excellent video, hugely intriguing. Best of luck!

The size of those fronts, holy shit. Power steering pump is the real mvp.

I can not wait for the next video on this motor! Sasha and JWT have a true beast here

You need to feature this car as much as possible!! Amazing

The VQ that will rule them all, great work!

Going to be epic! Nice to see sasha back on the channel! Also.... We need more Ken Wagon too!

The world is watching. Keep up the amazing work!!

On Point is always on point

so it's a 420Z😁

Sashy is a living legend - yo dp!

Great stuff and really weird to watch because I literally studied his 350z build in a previous form yesterday in a issue of super street (vol. 21 no. 8 to be exact his cover issue) haha but anyways so awesome to watch how progressive he is with anything he does he is smart and a great guy awesome to see this motor in this form and can't wait to see what him and this car can do even if it's just for "FUN" haha! Thanks for keeping us informed with him I can't remember how he documents his work online but I sure would like to follow more in depth somehow if you guys could help me with that I would really appreciate it

If Sasha will allow can you show as much as possible on what he’s doing. It sounds so very cool.

what a machine !! please keep us updated guys :D

Damn that VQ looks ROCK HARD

Wish someone would design a front axle hybrid unit for all rwd cars… it makes so much sense!

2"-2.125" stepped primaries slows air speed way too much. 1-7/8" primaries is optimal, and proper 3.5" merge collectors. It will pump up the midrange, and the engine will accelerate faster.

Sasha is a mad scientist!! Insane build!! I cant wait to see the updates!

Sasha is an absolute madman, a lot of the things he is talking about are completely out of my brains league but I respect it! Really looking forward to seeing and HEARING this car ripping on the track!

From door off drifting to this innovation! Keep going!

I've been thinking about a hybrid build similar to this for awhile since I saw F1 apply it to their cars..... oh man I'm soo in love with this build

Mind blowing!!! Amazing things to come!!!

Nissan should just hire that guy.

Can't wait for Sasha's results! come on 500 glad he didn't go with a blower and staid N/A

Awesome sasha glad to see the car back on the build in all its glory, n/a power is expensive but the sound and drive ability 🎵 makes it worth it keep up good work and great video speed acadamy

Goddamn Sasha! you never cease to amaze me.

this thing sounded mental prior to all this work, i think this is going to sound magic

Awesome build , can not wait to see it put back together

The 911 RSR / GT3 R engine makes 550hp out of 4.0 liters, but that is with the restrictor installed. Even the street version of that engine with the less aggressive tune, street-legal exhaust and street-legal enclosed intake makes over 500hp.

this guy Sasha, is a legend. keeps impressing

Been waiting for this video. Thanks. Sashs breakdown

Sasha is one of those higher beings. He doesn't bitch about direction of car industry, he just works with what we have, and makes everything better. :D I bet he can make anything better,I have slow coffee maker, needs a bit of Sasha love. :)

Sasha is a tech wizard! I can't wait to see what that motor makes power wise!

What a COOL engine!

I don't think he should be too concerned with losing any 'higher pitch exotic' sound, there are many other factors having a more significant affect on the sound, not the least of which is the camshaft(and it sounds like there's is pretty rowdy too!). Being a car guy first, but a V8 guy second, here's some domestic V8 examples... Ford Mods 4.6l - 90.2mmB x 90.0mmS 5.0l Coyote - 92.2mmB x 92.7mmS 5.4l - 90.2mmB x 105.8mmS Pushrod Fords 302/5.0l - 101.6mmB x 76.2mmS 351/5.8l - 101.6mmB x 88.9mmS 429/7.0l - 110.8mmB x 91.2mmS LSx LS1/5.7l - 99mmB x 92mmS Gen3 Hemi 5.7l - 99.49mmB x 90.88mmS Point being, of those engines, the Ford Modular V8s are known for being pitcher high RPM screamers, the most exotic sounding of contemporary domestic crossplane V8s. Even the last GT500 5.8l is known to be a higher pitched screamer. This, in spite of being from nearly square to heavily under-square bore:stroke compared to its notably deeper, bass-ier marketplace competitors and earlier Ford 'ancestry', who are decidedly over-square(even if they've balanced the bore:stroke much more in newer engines). Mind you, this isn't down to the Mod motors being 4-valve vs the 2-valve pushrods - the 2- & 3-valve Mod motors are certainly more similar sounding to the 4-valves Mods than any of the pushrod examples. Crank up the cubes - the sound definitely won't get worse!

Such an amazing build!

Making moves!!! excited to see more

Talk about cutting edge in a VQ! I’m so excited for this bad boy. I just want my HP to match the car type. 350z/350hp!

I can't wait to see the final product.

Holy crap that shop is clean ;D

awesome platform. would like to see this stuff out for other vq motors

Sasche makes hybrids interesting :)

Insane man good job

18 jealous haters gave this a thumbs down. So excited for the dyno and first track tests. Huge thumbs up!!!

I can't wait to see this run

That car going around the track makes me want a Quaife so bad!

With tolerances so extremely tight from top to bottom reliability is majorly questionable. Testing will prove this out fer sure. Props for building this thing.

Omg I want to hear that engine sing. Wow.

MIND BLOWN!!!!

The engineers designed the VQ to be as good as it could practically be, Sasha took it to as good as it could possibly be. He took it to the limit, then picked the limit up and carried it further. Sasha is the setter of bars.

Great knowledge, mad scientist!

Sam Neave would be proud. Goals.

Wwwwooooooooo have been waiting for this video

Damn can’t wait to hear it!!

Great video. Been following on point on ig to get as much info as possible. Super pumped about this engine for the vq community. Got some questions tho. So when the engine goes in the car and tuned, is it going on back on track with that set-up or with the hybrid in place? Lap times of the most powerful na vq would be awesome to see. I also take it that super charging, like Sasha had mentioned before, is no longer happening? If the engine is reliable where is Sasha going to campaign this thing?

Sasha man. Please check your hearth. You breath very hard. Please check before is to late.we need you to be around for the love of the sport

Sasha is a genius

This guy reminds me of Stephan Papadakis

sasha is a mad man , love it !!

Interesting build. 👍

And now were putting it in in the green silvia

Very nice man. Ill suspect somewhere around 600hp. I think he is being a big superstitions about it and doesn't want to seem like a fool by saying it may make near 600.

Can't wait

A 500bhp N/A 4.2L engine for my 370z sounds pretty nice..... jwt sell that setup turn key?

Wow excited!

Sasha is seriously one of the smartest guys in motorsports.

I’d like to know if you can get a 1/4 mile time. I realize it is a track engine setup, but it would be interesting to know!

Looking forward to hearing that scream on the dyno!

Love it! What size /makeup of battery are you adding?

Badass!

Freaking legendary!!

best of luck Sasha

Sasha has some serious ASMR going.

Did I miss it, or did they not specify how much RPM this engine can take? It's a 4.2-liter with a stroker crank, but it has big ITBs, massive primaries on the headers and they're looking for crazy all-motor power, guessing it'll see 8,000+ RPM to flow enough?

Most likely that engine is scavenging to gain topend horsepower and allow to rev higher than normal. Scavenging is bleeding off some compression to create stronger vacuum on the exhaust side to create a stronger vacuum on the intake side which in case creates more horsepower in the topend. That engine should sound nasty on the dyno. I also noticed the headers design, definitely made for scavenging. F1 technology implemented in this engine.

Now that is some good power per cubic inch I tell you.

would be interesting to see this car parked side by side and compared to the JUN Stream Z

Dude, that guy is not well.. I think I'd be ill if I'd put that much work into that awesome engine

Just 100% sick 100% of the time

Hmmm it seems like a very expensive route to go to hybridize this motor when Nissan already sells the VQ35HR in hybrid form.... Obviously you guys have an insane amount of work into this block already and if you wanted it to function closer to a KERS system than I suppose custom build is the only way to go. Personally I would have loved to see how far the stock hybrid motor could go.

More please.

What is the name of the Switzerland company!? Read through 100+ comments and several searches and can't find any Switzerland formula e suppliers. Would love to track down companies other than Schaeffler (German) who make similar products and supply formula e.

subscribed and all that wheres the next video, when it runs.

I’m wondering Getting all that power naturally aspirated, does that have a significant effect on the reliability and lifespan of the engine if done correctly?
