For years, VQ37VHR enthusiasts have faced a difficult choice when it came to forced induction.
Go with an expensive twin-turbo system, deal with complex top-mount turbo installations, or settle for limited power potential from bolt-on modifications.
We believed there was a better solution.
After extensive development and engineering, STRATEC™ is proud to introduce the Patented Pending Mid-Mount Single Turbo Kit for the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G37, designed specifically for manual transmission VQ37VHR vehicles.
Scheduled for release on August 1st, this revolutionary turbo system delivers exceptional power potential, impressive spool characteristics, simplified installation, and the reliability enthusiasts demand from a daily-driven or track-focused build.
A New Approach to VQ37VHR Turbocharging
Most turbo kits on the market follow one of two paths:
- Twin-turbo systems with increased complexity and cost
- Top-mount single turbo systems that create excessive engine bay heat
The STRATEC™ Mid-Mount Turbo Kit takes a completely different approach.
By positioning the turbocharger beside the transmission rather than above the engine, we created a system that improves thermal management, optimizes exhaust flow, and delivers incredible power potential without compromising drivability.
The result is a cleaner, more efficient turbo system capable of supporting 600+ wheel horsepower with proper fueling and tuning.
Why Mid-Mount Matters
Turbocharger placement plays a critical role in performance, reliability, and overall vehicle behavior.
Our mid-mount configuration offers several key advantages:
Reduced Engine Bay Temperatures
Heat is one of the biggest enemies of performance and reliability.
By relocating the turbocharger away from sensitive engine components, under-hood temperatures are significantly reduced, helping improve long-term durability and thermal efficiency.
Improved Weight Distribution
Placing the turbocharger lower and further back helps improve weight distribution compared to traditional top-mount systems.
Easier Maintenance Access
The strategic turbo placement allows for improved access to various engine bay components, simplifying future maintenance and servicing.
Equal-Length Runner Technology
One of the standout features of the STRATEC™ turbo kit is its equal-length stainless steel manifold design.
Unlike unequal runner designs that can create inconsistent exhaust pulses, equal-length runners provide:
- Balanced exhaust flow
- Faster turbo spool
- Improved turbine efficiency
- More predictable boost response
- Stronger power delivery throughout the RPM range
The result is a turbo system that feels responsive and predictable while maintaining excellent top-end performance.
Twin-Scroll Performance Without the Complexity
At the heart of the system sits a T70 Twin-Scroll T4 turbocharger.
The twin-scroll design allows exhaust pulses to remain separated before entering the turbine housing, improving spool speed and overall turbo efficiency.
Many enthusiasts compare the responsiveness of properly designed twin-scroll systems to twin-turbo setups while retaining the simplicity of a single turbocharger.
This means:
- Faster boost response
- Strong mid-range power
- Excellent top-end performance
- Improved drivability
600+ WHP Capability
The VQ37VHR is already one of Nissan's most capable naturally aspirated V6 engines.
When paired with forced induction, its potential becomes even more impressive.
The STRATEC™ Mid-Mount Turbo Kit was engineered to support:
- Street builds
- Weekend track cars
- Roll racing applications
- High-horsepower VQ builds
With proper fuel system upgrades, supporting modifications, and professional ECU tuning, the system is capable of producing 600+ wheel horsepower.
That represents more than double the power output of many stock VQ37VHR-powered vehicles.
Keeping the Signature VQ Sound
One concern many VQ owners have when moving to forced induction is losing the distinctive VQ exhaust note.
Thanks to the equal-length runner design and carefully engineered exhaust routing, the STRATEC™ system preserves much of the unique character enthusiasts love about the VQ platform.
You still get the unmistakable VQ sound—only now accompanied by turbo spool, blow-off valve response, and significantly increased performance.
