Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

And it was an over priced POS for the little power it made.

Makes since to me! I don't want to through his thread off track with Turbo vs SC. Plus I know nothing about them. I do know Stillen makes a fairly decent kit if your not trying to go to the moon...

If you are comparing to a N/A or turbo car to a supercharged car, this statement is false. With the supercharger you always have parasitic loss, and in tern have worse gas milage than a turbo car...

Well finally after much debate I went ahead and pulled the trigger. This will be my second TT install coming from an 2004 350z with the aps TT. Iam currently selling some of my na mods in the...

Squirrel!!!! :rofl2:

A long overdue update: I took apart the spare engine and got the pistons/rods/block to the machine shop about 2 months ago. It took a few weeks to get the proper main/rod bearings spec'd and...

Sunday night...and I just got in from the shop. It seems that there is always more work to be done than I think....not sure how that works. Anyway, I am starting a large pile (not an actual pile,...

I updated this in my journal and my old NA dark side bla blah thread, which should be dying off as it has no use for me any more haha, but does have some good information for others to make a...

If I'm not, why do you keep chasing me?? :stirthepot:

It was a pump 93 the dyno is on page 3 in the link bellow it made pretty good power with the stage 2 turbo's. ...

If you factor in 15%-17% drivetrain lose that would put around 750 crank. I have no doubt that the car can do 200 MPH just haven't had the room to do it. I have done 170-175 and the car get's...

Sam posted a graph in my thread of a stage 2 making 608whp 15 PSI. If you go with the stage 3 like me make sure you get the .86 A/R , I am learning the hard way backpressure with the .64 A/R I...

I personally have built a VQ35DE rev up engine for a friend back in 2011. Stock block with cylinder liner re-enforcement , Mahle 10.1 Forged Pistons with Ceramic coating, Custom Titanium alloy rods....

Yeah, I think so. At 3000 rpm it is not optimum for the engine torque output. That will somehow lug the motor a bit even with Twin Turbo set up. Best to go to 5th , then 6th. If you want ultimate...
