Hi again,

after a long and bad build history, I decided to take my project one step further.
The 3.5l built short block is for sale with 0 miles on it.
I bought the brian crower 4.3 l stroker kit.

This are the mods for now:

Turbo kit

Future plans:

titanium exhaust
titanium pipes ( intercooler, ... )
2x gt35 turbo's
a lot of welding
roll cage

some pics:














The car has made 580hp in the past. Now with the new kit, we expect 700hp. Later, after the winter of 2010 with the new turbo's, and other stuff, we are aiming for +1000hp.

 

Sick beast. Cant wait for the vids and rollcage build up.

 

Impressive mods list, is this the older APS kit?
in for the results

 

bought the kit in 2005

 

Isn't it a 430Z?

 

I would lose the APS Tall Boy manifold and go Cosworth or Stock (Both have proven to handle 1,000+ HP). Ditto on the APS Kit. Is it an Extreme TT?

 

Excellent point. One of the members who doesn't post much anymore had the same plenum (or a very similar one) and literally blew it apart from all the pressure.

Pictures are in the first post of this thread-> https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...tor-today.html

 

Do you mean 4.15 liter BC stroker kit?

also, you'll need to dump that APS fuel system. it wont support your goals either

James, thats a crawford manifold, not APS

 

yes idd, but mine is custom made. It's based upon that kit but is capable of 2000hp.

 

I have the aps tt extreme kit for now. When we go for 1000+hp we will make a intake plenum ourself, two seperate intakes like the gtr or the 300zx for example, bigger turbo's, titanium piping, bigger intercooler, bigger piping and a totally new fuel system with an external tank and three external fuel pumps. that's about it i think. So we will be fine . But comments are very welcome. There are a lot of experienced people here. I like to hear their problems with those power levels.

 

Congrats

 

Yeah, I know. Still appears to be a similar design. With a build as pricey as this, I wouldn't want to risk damaging anything.

 

punching the block out for 4.3L will leave the resulting sleeves very thin wont it?

 

^yeah, i've never head of a VQ35 bored/stroked to 4.3L.

 

GTM sell 4.5L stroker.

 

and they sell generic flashes with their turn key kits as well.. doesnt mean that is has been tested.

 

Which I believe is for the VQ37, not the VQ35.

 

nice build....except i would SO loose that turbo kit, or at least do the extreme version....needs bigger turbos IMO...

(subscribed for numbers)

 

wonder how much hp u can make with that stroker kit NA
