The VQ37VHR is still relatively a new engine. It has not been pushed to its limits long enough to find its breaking point/weak points. No one knows that 500whp at 50k miles will require a rebuilt engine. That's the risk all of the FI guys are taking because no one knows...

I've only heard of 1 blown engine and that was with a Stillen SC, which means low power. Does that mean our motors are not safe at 450whp? No. The owner installed headers and didn't retune. That's the end user's fault.

Right now, it's all a guessing game.
just by reading that i wont get turbos. the car is just to new. how is the drivetrain in 370z ? lets not just look at engine.

BTW nothing i said was really false info, its a fact that any kind of FI hurts engine life. well "high" boost FI.
