AAM Built: GReddy Twins, In-House CNC Sleeved VQ, 440cc w/ AAM Fuel System -
Coming from a long history of big time domestic turbo drag cars - (one 60s Camaro with twin 106mm Turbos :icon11: ) - Dons first import, a 2003 350Z, naturally needed a boost. After a little too much one day :), Don quickly found out about the weak points of the VQ. So he came to us looking to build a reliable 450whp import with cats and without stepping outside the contents of the GReddy kit and the modifications he already had on his car. So we sourced him a VQ and CNC machined, sleeved, assembled, and tuned it right to his goals.
Ouch! Motor he came to us with: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...2258copy-1.jpg NEW AAM MOTOR: http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...G_0177copy.jpg BUILD DETAILS: AAM CNC STG III Sleeved VQ - Custom 9:0:1 JE Pistons - Eagle Rods - Darton Sleeves - HKS Head Gasket - L19s GReddy Twin Kit - 440cc Injectors - E-Manage AAM STG I Fuel AAM Oil Pan and TB Spacer Injen Dual Exhaust AAM 2.5in High Flow Cats Stoptech Brakes JWT Clutch & Flywheel HKS EVC IV 11psi http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...hotos/DonD.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...G_1537copy.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...G_0424copy.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...1556copy-1.jpg |

LMAO-so you "advised" him to run sleeves for a measly 450whp? I see things havent changed. Do you recommend newbs to run stage 1 fuel systems with bolt-ons as well? I wonder what the duty cycle on the injectors is being so "small" for the power...also LOL @ 2.5" HF cats running into 2" piping, I see many things that could have been purchased had he not sleeved the engine that would have been more beneficial. |

considering all the machining and honing that went into this, the 450whp does sound measly..
|
for the price of a sleeved motor, 450rwhp is pretty weaksauce. But hey to each his own. As long as hes satisfied who cares what others think. Its his money that hes blowin away. I can care less what he does with his car. Car looks nice and clean but having some mixed feelings about his wheels

Wonder how long it will be before this thread gets locked too...
|
im still chucklin at the before and after comment u made lol.

For me, there is no need for huge HP, I'd just go with a build for a reliable 12 psi tune.
