Yes. For sale. Only 4000 miles on the car. 3000 on the built engine. Complete turn key. Needs nothing. Well balanced street/track car. Not over done (well, just a little). IMHO, the car is better than new. Call or come to the shop if your truely interested.
$60k
It's a bargain at that price. We have a G35 for our next project. It's gonna have a different set up.

Not taking nothing away from the car, but why so much for just a built shortblock. Could you give a run down on the list of modifications that you have done to the car. Exernally and internally. Thanx.

I don't know if we just have a noisy engine or if the VQ's knock sensor is hyper sensitive (like the QR25). There's too much time in the car at this point to take a chance melting the pistons. Even with the low timing, the VQ pulled hard and made serious power. We were happy with the numbers.
We could have made more power/boost, but we pegged the Dynapack 4000 torque capacity (700) and didn't want to tune in 6th gear. It was late, we we're tired, I had to wash my hair, yada yada yada. I think the 18g's are happier at 18psi anyway.
Thanks for your input.

It's way more than just a built bottom. Follow this link for most of the car specs:

Oh, what compression pistons and rods did you guys use?

Crower Pro Billet Rods
Our personal favorites. We have never experienced any problems with the above. We try to put them in everthing we build.

i know what you have done and the boost you are running, but it should be higher for sure

We took it very easy on the tune. Safe and rich. It's a mainly a street car. We don't run street cars at their limits. We're looking for reliability and longevity also. You do know were still on stock cams/heads/plenum/ignition, right?
Shoot me some comparisons with specs and dyno charts. I'd like to see what others have made with the same/similar build. We're very happy with the car. It wasn't meant to be extreme. It was ment to be a turn key car that someone could enjoy for a very long time.

Great numbers. I looked at that Greddy awhile back and thought 18gs would be too big. What kind of lag do you get? I'm use to those on 3.0l, so that may be why. I never knew why Greddy supplied 440's with that kit... Are the 750's doing alright? What kind of temps are you seeing?

The engine makes full boost and torque by 3800-4000 rpm. It's sick! I'll post up dyno charts tomorrow on the website. Simply shreds the tires.
The 750cc RC's we're using are more than enough for our power level. We're only running 45 psi of static fuel pressure. Most others run around 50-55 psi. We decide to do so because RC engineering uses the traditional method of calculating their flow rates at 42.5 psi. When we projected our power and fuel needs, we kept those numbers in the equation. Also, we wanted use as small of an injector as possible without higher fuel pressures. This way part throttle/normal driving would be efficient and clean. It makes that part of tuning much easier. Under the higer boost numbers, we just tip into 90% duty at the very top.
Different manufacturers/size injectors respond differently, since we've used so many RC injectors over the years, we understand how they function.

Wow. That is impressive. Recently the VR-4 guys have been installing 16gs. They don't even spool that fast. What's you're knock count on 93 octane?
Are you going to be making a drag pass anytime soon? What do you do for traction? What PSI in the tires?
Most importantly, how street-able is that beast? I was hoping to do a big 16g setup, but if lags that low on 18’s, I might as well go with them.

i guess with a really safe tune and stock cams the lower numbers are on but the 24 psi numbers would really disappoint me.
curious why you did all that and left stock cams??
sorry, i am not bashing or being mean, just giving my honest opinion. its hard to compare my numbers cause i have ported heads and old JWT cams.
how safe of a tune, what kinda peak tq and peak rev timing you running??
either way, keep it up!!
