Hello, this is my first post btw, so I was wondering what Forged Internals do I need to get my rev-up VQ to 600hp, I already know I need Pistons and Rods. I'm gonna buy a Vortech this weekend and next month I want to put in the Forged internals. I also want to know what compression ratio to run as well as if I need anything else to make the build more reliable.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

 

we know it's your first post...and not because theres a number right below your screen names that shouts '1'...

The 350z engine is rather expensive to reliable modify for FI...of the three engines the rev-up is the worst - minimal replacement part, problematic exhaust cam timing hardware, limitations of a single throttle body and an inefficient plenum air box.

Read-up on what other vortech users have done to get 600whp...prepare to spend money - 600whp will cost you $25,000. Good luck!

 

Look at Colombo's build.

Also what is the goal, bragging rights in a parking lot, freeway ricing, drag , drift, or roadcourse. Different builds take different parts

 

The goal is a drift car. Also would you guys recommend I get an HR 350z and supercharge that instead.

 

Have you tried reading the forums before posting? Almost all your answers can be found by reading almost 14 years of archived data about this car.

Also, it's a little more involved than just swapping out rods and pistons. Your best bet is to buy a built short block.
