I know of one that blew... Greddy TT, 06' Revup G35, pushing around 480 whp (stock block) and put a rod through the block from what I was told. Not sure if anyone ever did look into what happened.

 

who would build 480 to the wheels on a STOCK BLOCK?

 

Keep in mind if you plan on doing this, you need to have all the supporting mods, (exhuast, fuel return, ecu, ect... and a really good tune) thats not cheap! If you half a$$ it you will have a higher chance on detonating your engine. I would recommend even a minor motor build.

 

define "blowing" a built motor? there have been guys who have blown out headgaskets from detonation, this is not "blowing" a motor in my book...

who has actually broken a piston or rod in a built motor with arias extreme duty pistons and eagle rods? i havent heard of a single case

please share

Thanks

While on the topic, I'll share some of our methods:
We build out motors with a bit larger oil clearances... rule of thumb, 1 thousandth for every inch of crank diameter...

nissan specs are very tight for a motor intended for forced induction/nitrous/ high revving... we don't use the codes off of the crank and the block to determine bearing size, ALL of our motors are fully blueprinted and the correct bearing is used to achieve the proper oil clearances!

For example:
Nissan's spec for main oil clearances: 1.4-1.8 thousandths (crank diameter 2.3")...

we run at least 2 thousanths clearance, 2.2-2.3 on a higher hp motor...

Nissan's spec for rod clearance: 1.3-2.3 thous.

we run: 2 thousandths as a standard...

the oil is getting to the rods...the motor has been engineered decent for oil supply to the crank, mains, cylinders, rods....we build our motors with the rev-up oil pumps (18% improved effeciency over stock) to further help...

On a side note:
I just pulled a built motor apart that failed on arias original design pistons, first batch, from back in the day, the motor failed because the skirt of the piston broke off (not an issue with arias new standard or extreme duty design)...the main bearings and rod bearings looked great! this is after 35k+ miles of 550 rwhp, tuned on an emanage blue!!! the bearings were totally fine in this case

I ran around 460whp on my completely stock longblock for almost 2 years...motor came out last weekend and it was still running like a champ.

 

Knock on wood I dynoed 472 on a Dyno jet last weekend, and like I said she keeps running stronger. Theres alot more pepole than you think running high hp on stock blocks, and doing fine, just do it right the first time.

 

I will note this person's car was built very similarly to mine... Fuel, exhaust, clutch, etc... we both ran 480 - 500whp on stock blocks... it does boil down to tune most of the time...

 

i thought someone put up a post earlier that stated the skyline is nissan not infiniti??? i read it, not sure where or who posted it. jus remember everyone on there making jokes to the G35 guys, cuz they were hoping for infiniti not nissan...

 

Um yeah. Hey bro you might want to double check which thread you are replying to.

 

I would not run a 03-05 over 450WHP on a stock block if I wanted the car as a DD clocking over 20k miles a year.

Theres people that have had great luck and some didn't. Honestly I never boosted my motor stock b/c I was a ***** and didn't have any place I could trust with the tune at the time.

I really do believe from what we have saw so far with the HR motor disection, I will garantee we will see quite a few 500+whp stock block Z's out there.

BTW did the blown car come from AAM?

 

Well honestly I don't think he put more then 1,000 miles on it before it popped. Heck it was probably less then 500 miles.
I agree, if you want reliable, not a good idea to push the low-to-mid 400's on a stock block.
As for location, yes you’re correct.

[QUOTE=300zxSteve]Well, theres a few local guys that have blown their built motors, I believe one guy just blew his second built motor. I cant confirm he was running it properly, just heard he blew it.

Another Unicorn?

 

I have a '03 Z 287 hitting 70k miles. I daily drive my car and need it to be reliable, but want some extra hp. What do you guys suggest for a good reliable hp/boost range for a car like mine w/ stock internals. I will make sure to get a good tune w/ fi, just wanted to know/
-thanks and sorry if I sound like an uneducate

 

read the last 4 pages or get with a shop that knows what they are doing. do a search for successful builds not broken ones. hours of reading for ya.

 

I can't speak for the others, but a stock VQ can have 400 rwhp safely with the JWT BB-530 TT; I know of a bunch of drivers who have had the JWT setup for over a year now with no blow ups.
