Hi all,
new to the forum and looking for some advice, I've had a search around but have some specific questions so any advice is greatly received.

I have a tuning shop here in the UK and we tune Skyline's, i'm in the process of building a new tube chassis car and was going to power it with a RB series engine but have changed my mind to the VQ35 instead. I've bought a 2006 rev up motor as a base and have a target figure of around 1500 hp with race fuel, the car is strictly drag (non road class) and i dont expect to see lots of miles between engine refreshes but I do want the motor to stay together so to those with experience is there any issues with the block it's self that needs to be addressed? I had planed on keeping the stock crankshaft unless that is an issue (rb cranks are really strong), other wise I will go stroker.

Thanks in advance
Garth.

 

Contact Vinny Ten Racing. They build mosters like that for Drag and should be able to give you some pointers on what you will need

Also, you can PM hal@ip

 

If building for that kind of power everything needs to be addressed. Also in drag racing every .1 counts. Why swap in a heavier engine setup? Smart decision to keep the vq also 4.2l vs a 3.0 in terms of available displacements .

 

Swap to the HR block. Much more rigid.

 

We have done extensive testing on the VQ engine/block from stock form up to dry-sump/aluminum rodded engines that can with stand high power and revs. I would be happy to give you a few pointers if you need - feel free to drop me a line.

 

Thanks for the responses all, HAL@IP i'll be in touch shortly as I would like to ask more questions and need some access to parts.
