I was wondering if we can start a compilation of the built motors with FI here. This should turn out to be a good resource for others in planning/adjusting their goals.

Motor Internal:
Pauter rods
Arias pistons .020 overbore 8.6:1 compression
ARP headstuds
ARP main studs
stock cams (at the moment)
stock heads

FI:
APS TT

Other:
Koyo Radiator (under consideration)
NISMO low temp thermostate (under consideration)
Clutch Master FX700

Goal:
520 rwhp
600 rwhp (w/ upgraded fuel solution, NISMO LSD)

 

Just for clarification, do you want us to post if the build is still pending? Or only if the build is complete. Either way...looks like a good thread. Lots of us have the parts, but are still scheduling the labor.

 

Can you guys also post the cost of parts and installation too?

 

Both, anything pertaining to FI on a built VQ35DE, even Maximas/Altimas are fine by me.

 

Internals:
Arias forged pistons, .020 overbore, 9.0:1 compression
Pauter rods
Fully ported and polished heads/lower manifold, gasket matched
Tomei 264 cams
Fully balanced bottom end
ARP head/main studs

- actuator springs upgraded (0.5 bar baseline boost)


Other:

HKS EVC V boost controller
Innovate Motorsports Full Logging
in-car PC (for virtual on-screen gauges)
dual bank A/f measurements (at least for the initial tuning)


Goal:
530 rwhp (91 CA pump gas)
580 rwhp (on 100+ gas)
more with upgaded fuel system

Engine Management:
TS reflash + J&S Safeguard (for now)

For my 2003 G35C, longblock in process , I don't expect TT intall until ~April 2005.

Motor Internal:
-Pauter rods
-Arias pistons .020 overbore "custom dish" 9:1 compression
(PM skirt and and Ceramic coated dishes)
-ARP headstuds

Aquamist Water Injection (under consideration)
Koyo Radiator modified for G (under consideration)

Goal:
>500 rwhp on crappy Ca. 91 , may require Water Injection
>600 rwhp on 100 .

 

I could but it hurts to much to put into print.

Arias Pistons .020 over 8.6 comp
Pauter Rods
ARP Head studs and Main.
JWT Springs
SGP Retainers (?)
Stock Cam
Stock Head

FI and Extras listed in sig.


Goal: 550rwhp on 18 psi 93 octane pump gas

 

VQ30 stock
60-1

550 hp and 600 lbs of torque

 

no built motor here... but

T4/T04E running 16 psi

486 fwhp, 512 lbs/tq

 

VQ30DE, Infiniti I30, stock

T04E

Other:
E-manage
E-01
J&S Safeguard
HKS ignition
555cc
M-500 widband

Goal:
450 fwhp, 490lbs/tq
(almost down around March, Go VQ30DEs)

 

Wow.. Your brave

 

Motor Internals:

Pauter Forged Rods
Araias 9.0:1 forged pistons
Port Matched heads
ARP Head and Main Studs (From SGP)
Balanced/Blueprinted

FI:
Greddy Twin Turbo Kit with FMIC
Profec e-01
Greddy eManage

Other:
AAM return fuel system
Walbro 255
550cc Injectors (coming soon)
Crawford Plenum
Greddy Evo2 Exhuast
Test Pipes

Goal:
550whp everday driver on 93octant
600whp maximum WHP
17-20psi of boost

 

What does FMIC stand for?

 

Front Mount Intercooler

 

To my knowlage the VQ30De is a little strong than the VQ35. Most of the FI VQ35 blow rods at around 400hp.
one max (Hal) is putting down 531.2Hp 603.1lbs/tq on stock internals. But you know what it could not even be that the motor is not strong enough, it is all in the tunning. And don't get me wrong i love VQ35s

 

Nice work either way.
