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?

There is not a solid way to predict what will be taken out when an engine lets go. In many cases, you will need to replace the entire engine. Even if you just break a rod, the carnage that ensues will often destroy the top half of the engine as well.

Have taken too many motors apart to see that everything was damaged. Rare to see one that didn't damage the heads. Took one apart that had bits and pieces in the inlet manifold.

SOHO could also hook you up with an engine as well! I'm waiting on my transmission to fail before I go to Level 10 for a bulletproof one and then once I have a real job, I plan to go to SOHO or Z1 for a 4.0-4.2 block

While testing our new twin fuel pump, we jumped the stock engine HP record by 50hp.

Tuning on our test subject is via SpecialtyZ.

This was actually a month ago now that I think about it. I need to make some threads one of these days.

If the pic is hard to read, that there reads 818whp and 622lb-ft, Dynojet STD. 18.5psi peak boost. 4th gear pull.

Big single Turbo or twin's? Good job keeping torque somewhat at bay!

Twin Garrett GT3076R Gen I with Tial Turbine housings, cant remember which housing off the top of my head.

That look's like those $24,950.00 manifolds...

Nice work phunk!

It appears that mounting the turbos away from the heads a bit, can keep the torque down & not affect HP.
I've noticed some of the other exhaust manifolds (that hold the snails up closer to the engine) seem to put more torque down.....must be the extra heat or use of smaller,quicker spooling turbo's.
Than again-it could all be in the hand's of the Tuner.

The boost curve you are seeing on that dyno graph is by design. Notice the power starts at zero... I begin recording before I step on the throttle, and when I do step in, I ease down the same way I (and the vehicle owner) would on the street. From there the boost control is programmed to gradually increase boost as rpm climbs. This is part of the strategy to keeping the fragile stock engine alive at this type of power.

At the lower boost settings in the 600s to the wheels I drove this car on the street myself and the low end torque is better than my supercharged mustang. It feels amazing and changed my mind about turbo sizing on the VHR. I would never bother with a smaller turbo than this car has on it now. The response is already just plain immediate, despite having 1000-1100whp worth of turbo on it.

That's absolutely amazing. Great work Charles!!

Thanks, I just added that it was a 4th gear pull as well. We have always dyno'd 370z in 4th gear here. I dont know how much higher it would be in 5th since we never did any comparisons.

With out vvet being cracked we boosted guys are missing out on some extra power as we can't do a cam

I think going to a return style fuel system may be safer if your going to do
High 550+

ATM I have 340lph pump with large gauge wire running to the battery

I think a poor tune on my Stillen kit killed my stock motor and I was only making about 400rwhp at the time
