Nissan VK56 Support

Post by amreboot »

Hey all

New to the MS game as I usually play with old school platforms.
I am building a VK56 twin turbo setup. Block is stripped down getting the go-fast parts.

I have been reading and researching the support for MS and the VK56. There were a few threads about the QR25 supporting the trigger wheel and such. But it seems as most have tried that has failed?
Then there was a release note by James saying that its been added but untested. I haven't seen any updates in terms of feedback of it working or not.

Otherwise, if it doesn't officially support it, I will do a basic 36-1 trigger wheel and modify the cam for a single tooth (instead of the current multi). This way I will get the full sequential setup.

Any thoughts or comments for a MS3 newbie?

Thanks in advanced!!!

The 36-1 and single cam pulse works well. I have a customer with that setup running the VK in a 240SX. Your gonna break stuff with twin turbos. We made over 400ft/lbs on a stock engine with headers.

Why not test it?

Understood. The motor is being built with forged internals. I won't have any concerns of the supportive setup

Oh I definitely can, I just wanted to see where the last movement was on this.
