Nissan Xtrail

The Nissan Xtrail isn't exactly the first choice in cars when deciding to strap a turbo to something, but that's what makes it even better!

We learned very quickly the short comings of the QR25, and how to mend them. After this the engine has really surprised us with its ability to make stupid horsepower.

We pulled this car out of our backyard where it had been sitting for years. The car was a mess, the engine was trashed and it really had no hope at a second life.

The video of this happening can be found here:

We decided to rebuild the engine, using only a set of Forged Rods in the bottom end, and slap a G30-770 onto it.

This quickly surprised us as the car was making way more power on the dyno than we thought it would,

After this we took the car to the beach to race as a sand drag car, which was a lot of fun.

Once it blew the rear diff, we decided to do a maximum Horsepower test with nitrous to see where the motor would finally let go. It ended up lifting the head at over 500hp!

We thought this would be the end of the car, however we decided to give it one last try at surprising us further.

We replaced the diff, we rebuilt the engine, and fitted a G35-1050.
