Hi Guys,

I'm finally building up my short block. I am looking for suggestions and opinions on what i have planned out so far. Im kinda on a budget but i want good stuff as i will be going FI or Nitrous soon after break in.


Non Sleeved VQ35DE Non Rev-up Block
bc rods BRODS pn:BC6229
Wiseco 8.8:1 pistons
Cometic Multi layer steel headgasket
ARP L19 head +main stud kit
Cosworth Tri-Metal Race Bearings (rod+mains)
Revup oil pump


My main concerns are:
-Are the Wiseco's a good choice for a street car or shoud I go CP's or Arias? Is the compression ratio a good choice for 550 - 600rwhp with a APS TT kit, greddy tt kit or spray.
-Whats a good engine management and fuel setup for DD with this car and setup
-Clutch which one and what kind?


Sorry for all the questions guys but I want to do it right and do it once. Thanks

 

Why not just buy forged's S1 block? they are not far from you.

I dont know lol. Just like the fact of building my own motor i guess im just weird like that. I found the rods i will be going with. They are the bc brods anyone one here using these?

 

use the eagle rods....they will handle the same amount of abuse and cheaper.... +1 on buyin a shortblock ready to go...

 

thanks man eagle it will be!

 

+1 on the forged S1 shortblock. Very good set up, tried and true up to some 800+ whp I believe. I think you can substitute parts if you really want to (and maybe save a few bucks), but I wouldn't.

Wiseco's are tested and true. Good choice.

Uprev Osiris!
-Clutch which one and what kind?
JWT clutch

 

My vote would be Arias pistons and Eagle rods.

 

jwt clutch might not be strong enough to hold 550-600hp like u r goin with...i would suggest a twin disc or an extreme single like clutchmasters stage 4(i have) to hold all that powa
arias pistons 9:1 comp ftw

 

how are you liking the engagement on the cm stg4??

 

a little noisy but u will def have that with a lightweight flywheel and aftermarket clutch...30% harder pedal pressure then stock imo

 

i have MAHLE pistons , but wiseco are gr8 too !
as for the tune, UPREV FTW !

 

Z1 Motorsports shortblock is a good package as well.

 

thanks guys i think im going wiesco 11:0:1 and not boosting. Leaning toward spray the cheaper route. Any suggestions on a spray motor

 

I'd run a 9:1 compression with a dual stage 250 shot.

 

I would use Arias ED's, Eagle Rods, L19 head studs for most builds. If you want to build it yourself, we can supply you every single part needed to put the block together. Just let us know.

 

Thanks i will contacting you shortly
