It's pretty much a redesign with Turbocharing in mind.
Plus honestly DE VQ's were very sturdy engines in NA form the just were not built for turbocharging. I have done the research years ago.

I know the HR is stout in comparison to the DE's, but I'm still not impressed by their output under boost. But I dunno... Comparing it to the much smaller and vastly more efficient F20C is probably warping my perspective. 500hp (HR) isn't bad at all really. But when I think that that is the limit of a modern 3.5L... Meh.
