Stroked VQ's power ranges
I know currently shops are offering several different stokes for the vq. I'm looking into building up my 2007 g35. As far as the strokes go i know they offer a 3.8L , 4.0L and a 4.2L for the DE platform. What kind of power increase is seen when stroking? Compared to the 298hp of the stock rev-up were do these range? Also I'm going to be building for 650whp daily driven is stroking somthing i need to consider? I understand it decreases spool time but is it noticable how much earlyer will the boost come in? Heh lots of questions :-D

daily driven = a car that you would like to drive on a daily bases, but have another car that you use to drive to work?
if this car is used to get you to and from work on a daily bases, no way would I be looking at modifying it so heavily. In terms of reliability, you want a simple setup. Personally I wouldn't recommend stroking it, I would run stock sleeves and run a couple levels of boost.

are you sure you're not confusing bore and stroke? each plays their own role in the overall scheme of things
650whp and daily driven does not peacefully co-exist, so keep that in mind

My last set up was a turbnetics kit i pushed out to 530whp. I put my goal hp at 650 because i want to be about a 130 trap in the quarter. With the weight of my car i need somewere in that ballpark of horsepower.

If you are going for mid 600's, I would probably go for an APS extreme setup on stock sleeves, though I would research some of the twin offerings from GTM before making my final purchase. I just don't trust any sleeving, and with a stroked setup, I just think there are too many variables... I just don't feel there is enough time on the kits for me to feel comfortable with them.

I'm guessing he did: (4.15L/3.5L)*298hp = 358hp
athensgls, a few comments:
1. You brought up faster spool - and while this is a valid point I would phrase it differently. Most of the twin turbo kits on the market already spool ridiculously fast in my opinion, so faster spool on the same kit ends up translating to more choke on the top end (larger displacement, same small turbine housing). The benefit regarding spool is the ability to run larger turbos and produce more power. The added displacement will boost tq numbers too.
2. When maximizing power on a specific fuel (such as pump gas), larger displacement allows you to make more power with all else remaining the same.
3. Here are a couple links to strokers we have done with results.
-- NA, comparison of stock vs stroker vs stroker w/ ITB VQ35 NA Stroker ITB
-- FI, Wongy's G35 currently makes over 640whp on our DD and over 700whp on a dynojet. It was daily driven on pump gas at this power level for an extended period of time before the owner left the country. It is still on the same engine years later. VQ35 FI Stroker 600+whp

Don’t stroke it like many have said already its not worth the money if you aint going to use the set up for what it is. Save yourself some cash and just build a good 3.5L no sleeves and get your self a used greddy kit cheap and it will make your power goals with some juice left and if you ever decide to upgrade you can upgrade the 18g to 20g. I had the greddy kit for like 2 years and I must say that had no issues with them at all spools quick and makes good power for the 3.5L.
