VQ37VHR Max HP/Torque

phunk

If someone wants the best odds that it will last for at least a few years, probably 425-450 lb ft. Once approaching or crossing the 500 lb ft, the owner needs to be prepared for, or at least accepting of, the worst. Though I believe in most cases the VHR will handle 500-525 lb ft for a long time. But the operator must consider that mechanical wear and fatigue is cumulative and the effects of driving habits and operating conditions can exponentially accelerate the process.

Good read and awesome to see the numbers grow as people try new things and push the envelope a little at a time. Personally shooting for 540-550whp on the bp kit within the next two years!!

Im hoping to hit 500 whp for a daily Z with the AAM TT kit in Australia. Best pump fuel we have is BP Ultimate 98 which I think is equivelant to the US Pump93. Hope mine doesn't give in!

Also hoping to be in the 500's as soon as Sebastian feels like the tune is done enough and I can find a dyno day around here.

I wanted to know when and engine goes boom after forced induction, say from a blown rod and or piston or something else and it needs a rebuild, does the engine need to be replaced with a new or second hand one then rebuilt or does the one that blew get opened up and rebuilt?

Sorry for the noob question, but just wondering if it matters to open her up before she blows, or wait till it does (if it ever does) then upgrade the bottom end?

It depends if the engine was SWOLE. Aka, a rod came out the side of the block. If a rod breaks, then yes you will need a new block and whatever else got destroyed.

shadow85

You say new block, is that referring to a whole new engine?

It terrifies me that you've already bought a turbo kit and you don't know these things. You seriously need to come up the learning curve before you murder your car. Start here: https://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Boost...=maximum+boost

That was published in 1997. Prefer something more updated

I'm no expert, but, I think it's the big "blocky" thing that holds things inside and has things bolted onto it.

OK, so after the wonderful people here helping me understand what a block is and not making fun of me. I decided to read up on short block and long block.

So, if I was to destroy my stock block after being boosted, I could buy like a short block package for example from Z1 and swap that in and I would be good to go again?
