its been available for a long time
we tossed around the idea of machining something like it, but only because i used to want one before i sold my 350z and i couldnt justify affording it.

The factory oil pump on the VQ is one of my largest concerns with my build. I know it sucks *****, especially beyond 6500RPM ...and that there is a trail of carnage on this platform from oil pump failures at elevated RPM's. If I could afford it, I'd love to convert to a dry sump setup.
the only oil pumps that continuously fail are run at 9k+. what oil pump failures have you heard about at 8300 and under?
dry sump is cool, but you lose AC. plus have to find a home for a 4-6qt sump for the oil. good for a race car, not so much for a street car.
**OP, any idea why your power was bouncing after 6500? fuel pressure? boost?

Yeah, the oil pumps are pretty good up until about 9k. I don't remember seeing any failures.
I can't get over that pic. It looks so sick man.

OP how many miles on your engine since 2005?
Do you do any kind of tracking the car? If so what kind?
How hard are you on the car usually?
Man sleeves since 2005 that's fawking nuts. Makes me want to pull my block and smash it over someones face while they sleep...

I have a 11miles commute to work and usually manage to get to WOT and redline 2-3 times on my way work. On the way home traffic kills anything.
Car was at 12psi for about 4000miles, 18psi for 6000miles, 21psi for about 7000miles and now 26.5 till I run out of c16 and have to fill it back up with 93oct. These are just estimates but should be pretty close.
I had the motor out when I did the intake manifold to check bearings but left the heads on. Everything looked good so I just sealed it back up and put it back in the car.
just ran over 17,000 miles on the motor yesterday and have had a couple autocross and one trip to drag strip in it and lots and lots and lots and lots of "closed course, professional driver" runs.

that's really awesome to hear man

Pretty standard build these days motor wise except the manifold that Charles made.
CP pistons, pauter rods, darton sleeves, L19 studs, HKS headgaskets, JWT S7 cams, headwork, 1mm oversize valves, nismo oil pump
Greddy 20g turbo system
CJM billet intake manifold
1000cc injectors (had to run 55psi base to keep IDC's from going over 85%)
Lots of other stuff

The VTC's do seem to become problematic. More data logging at the track will help me see exactly what is going on. I really dont want to pin them but it may have to happen when I shoot for more on bigger turbos.
I'm going to take the Revup out of my car eventually.
They should put my banner and your car up on g35driver. The one they got looks like someone cut the cars out of a magazine and glued them on a 9th grade project poster.

You spent a lot of money as it is and it's a very nice car. Why risk it. There is a reason there has never been a Revup to reach 1000whp. Neither SP or GTM tried it and they had lots of money to blow to try it.
