![]() You're the one who needs to calm down. Nobody called you a retard. With you calling people "wannabe tough guys", you're doing nothing besides exacerbating a non-existent issue.

torque is what killed stock 350z motors and it will kill our motors eventually
the only thing is how much torque does it take to kill our motor, with the old DE motors, 400wtq would send pistons out the bottom, didnt matter if it was n2o, turbo, or supercharger, the HR and VHR seem to do better with handling torque but there is still a limit to everything, just we dont know that limit yet

I was comfortable with the DE at 450tq personally. I ran it that way for a long time and when I tore it down to do the build, the internals and bearings looked perfect! So good in fact, that 10 years later I still have them saved here to look at as a testament.
The VHR not only has slightly beefier parts, but it makes less torque than the DE generally. I am assuming it has something to do with the valve timing / cam profile that is hurting the boosted torque. But it definitely has some to do with the intake manifold... the VHR intake manifold has much shorter runners than the DE... somewhere between 1.5 - 2" shorter. Between the lower torque, and beefier parts, I think the VHR gives us a far more flexible platform to work with. This is probably why there are VERY few engine builds around here. With the 350z DE... within the second year EVERYONE was building their engines. We also have a higher redline, giving us more room to take advantage of RPM. I really think 600whp is a pretty safe area if the tune is well done. If I were a better tuner I would have pushed mine further by now. I think I will go a little higher boost in a couple weeks though to see what happens.

I'm thinking of switching over to E85 as well just not sure if I can use regular gas in an emergency situation and what it would take. |

It is a given that you need to make the power you want to make without running into pre-ignition events first. I don't personally know if anyone has tried to make it to 600+rwhp with 93 on the stock VHR or not.
E85 increases knock resistance so you can run the proper ignition timing to achieve peak cylinder pressure at optimum crank angle. With 93 octane, you might find combustion to loose stability before reaching optimum ignition timing. Which, BTW, isnt the same for both fuels.

^well said.
No one is hating. The FI kit is amazing. Only going by what we've seen so far from others experience those numbers seem really high for a stock block. We just wanna warn you of the possibility with such high (amazing) numbers. |
