Are you sure it only raises the compression to 11.2? I thought someone calculated it would raise it to 12.

VQ30/VQ35 hybrids are running 11.5:1 on 93-octane, however they don't have the stock ECU advance VQ35s do but the VQ35s have much better head cooling.

our race team is working on something with the NISMO 12:1 heads currently... I called them to confirm everything I would need and turned out they were building pretty much the same motor using the MOTEC Engine Mangement...
They are aiming for over or around 400RWHP NA...
I hope to get 350 out of it with the stock ECU...
There is a BIG problem with the 12:1 heads which they are trying to work out for nissan... If they do they will be either changing all the heads or figuring something else out...

by the way... my Crawford Plenum will be here next week... i will then install / dyno the same...
my car has opened up alot since i did the dyno the same day i installed the mid-plenum... pulls much harder now...
nope just the fact that a friend missed a shift from 5 to 6th and instead hit 4th at the stock redline this pushed his rpms to edit
we think based on the 1000rpm difference and how long he said it took to shift) 7300-7400 rpm and there was piston to valve smackage. (chunks taken out of piston and bent valves.

Ditto...
Back on topic though...

Nothing wrong with stroker and except maybe sleeves causing higher water temps.

That's what I thought....
VQ35s will rev to 7500rpm with STOCK cams and withOUT valve float as long as you have connecting rod bolts.

hey ice guy the piston hit the valve due to float and this was on stock cams.
its not the cams that cause float man it the springs
edit: I said nothing about broken con rod bolts and nothing about an oil pump just that the piston smaked the valve at high RPM in no doubt caused by the "softness" of the stock spring aka its ability to return the valve to a closed pos by the time the piston gets to TDC.
edit #2 : Ice can you show me anyone that has taken the stock springs and cams to 7400 that has not had valves hit the piston since you are so quick to doubt me and my first hand experience.

Tuning the stock ECU is still using the stock ECU...
