I am really confused and need some input on what would be my best option.

I am on a budget so i'm not trying to fork over serious amounts of cash, but i recently picked up a VQ35 to re-build to put into my G35 that is currently burning oil like no other. The oil consumption is pissing me off so i'm just going to go with a new motor..

but my main concern is how i should build it. I honestly want around 300-375whp and i will be happy. I do daily drive the car and i want it reliable as possible. would i just be best off shooting for 300whp and keeping it NA or doing FI and shooting for around 350whp.

also since im only shooting for the 300whp area do i need to build my block with anything special or is stock block just fine as far as compression ration and pistons/rods and all that..?

let me know guys! i have been doing a lot of research and just can't get a grasp on what i want to do!

 

use this https://my350z.com/forum/search.php or diaf any amount of searching at all or just reading **** not even a week old you would have known you would be told off. or i suppose you figured you would get a different answer not posting in the FI section?

 

Stock VQs make 300whp. So mission accomplished

 

and stock VQs (DE block) will take 450whp…so if you are staying below 400whp then just go with a OEM internal setup. Consider a supercharger or small turbo kit (either now or down the road) and you'll get to your 350 to 375whp and no problem.

add a oil cooler to your current build list, especially if you are going FI at some point...
