That is not the first IPP that has bit the dust. As far as Billet everything. There are no billet blocks. I was trying to get some made but I needed 4 more people to go in on it to make it happen.

Here's what SOHO did with a single turbo

How long will it live?

Exactly

That is the question. It may be good as gold. It may not. Only some miles on it will tell. I was golden until I wasn't, LOL.
At least it made it off the dyno without puking it's guts. That's a start.

Post the dyno graphs. It hit peak TQ at around 5500rpm. Mine was at 4550. That is the difference between a big single and twins.

Def some lag but once it hits fudge

It is a great question to ask, as we have been testing this setup for some time now...

This vehicle did over 20 pulls at this power and boost level and after sitting for about 15 minutes between runs, you could pop the radiator cap and there was no pressure in the coolant system. The coolant temp stayed within 190 degrees as well while on the dyno.

The setup that is in Nathan's Nismo is going to be a very similar setup that we will be running on our shop NISMO at TX2K, which will be the final test for how this motor can withstand four days of solid abuse at over 1000 wheel.

We also have two more vehicle with these motor packages that should be hitting the dyno soon.

I am glad someone is having success.

Dyno runs are nice and all :tup: But let’s see some extended spirited driving or some laps. Excited for TX2K :yum:

I probably wont make myself popular in this thread, but: where exactly do you guys intend to use these 900hp cars effectively?

If you want to drag race, buy something with 4wd and launch controll (GTR or what not). If you want to use it on race tracks or areas like nurburgring/tail of the dragon, I'm sure 700hp does the trick (lack of driver skill outweighs horsepower). If you want a fast street car for rolling race, there usually isnt much out there on a regular Friday night that's really much faster.

Maybe the VQ is just not the best platform to pursue what you guys want?

LOL, half mile events. On the dragon and track you will be turning it way down to 600hp or below. I drove everyday at 718hp on the street and I used it regularly. Buying a GTR, No thanks.

I live near houston. I can use every bit of it. :driving:

You would have to come state side and live here for a while to fully understand. Power corrupts. Never have enough. :driving: There are cars on the street running around with over 2,500 hp. :icon14:

I think the VQ is exactly the platform they want. Or else they wouldn't be trying to push like they are. Anyone with half a brain would have moved to different platforms for specific goals long ago.

Lol you are right, but just like with every import that has had its set backs it takes a lot of failing to finally get it right. If soho’s Motors hold up I’m sure we will be seeing a lot of more big power VQ’s getting developed and being much faster.

Or if Mazworx can get it right first try. The game will be on. I got 20 days to figure out if this is the right move or if I should go another route. Still pondering on what to do. So many unknowns.

I'm rootin' for you...
I went down to MA (talked with Jon about Mazworx) on Thursday to test drive my car before picking it up.
It's faster than it ever was now that they've replaced the defective AAM BW 7163 Turbo.
It broke 'em loose pretty good when I punched it in 3rd gear.
(Low boost on pump gas)
Visions of going in to the wall at the strip then occurred.
A few other little tweaks while it's still down there and I'll be happy as a clam.
I'll be mindful to be careful with it (at least for a time) when it's all done tho'.
Don't want to risk it failing again so soon...my $$$ money tree $$$ has done lost it's leaves.

Interesting fact: Ten other people have called Mazworx about the VQ37VHR headgasket issue since I started talking to him. I only know of one other person. WOW, this thread get's around.

Not only your thread but the forum as a whole is the place to get the most reliable information on the platform.

Come to Texas.

Skip to 18:15. He starts talking about copper gaskets, aluminum rings and things.

Saw that. Everyone has their own way of doing things. I can't say anymore than that.

Such good videos, I just hate his voice

Same here. If you are a NZ'er, you would be fine.

Talking by himself I get real sleepy. When he interviews someone he is awesome.

The day that my car is back up and running.

That gif has been around so long that kid is probably 30 by now

That kid has a BIG mouth. :icon14:

It is still funny as hell. :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

:iagree: :icon17:

Reminds me of the Truffle Shuffle....

LOL, this was too funny. Cars you build/buy are made to be driven. :ugh2::ugh2:

When I get mine back up and going. This little speed bump is not going to make me change my mind. I will rack up the miles again.

Another one. He stole Rusty's car and drove it in the snow.

Time to talk about compression ratio's. Here is an comment in the video I am watching.
Vlog coming soon.



Nothing to do with engine speed. Compared to running at a 8:0 compression ratio, you will have more power off boost and when you stay under 18 psi of boost. At zero boost, you'll be making 3.6% more power thanks to the higher compression ratio. When you are at 15psi of boost, you'll be making 0.8-percent more power. Once you go over 19spi of boost, you'll be making less power than the lower compression ratio. At 30psi, you'll be down 2.0-percent in power versus what you would have been making if you kept the engine at 8.0:1. If you are making 600whp with the 10:1 setup, you would have made 612whp with the 8.0:1 setup at 30psi of boost.

Still watching. I am hoping to get the Math to solve the problem.

Here is a good read.

https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/educa...tio-101-part2/

Looking at the charts, it is a wash to drop the compression if my peak boost psi will be 24psi. I will stay below 20psi of boost most of the time so there would
be a loss of power on the lower boost settings (.8%). Now if i went to 30psi of boost it would be beneficial. I would gain 1.4%.
