There used to be a company that was producing high performance 3.5 engine blocks. Does anyone know the name of the company or if its still operating?

 

why do you need a better block?

can you afford it?

is a High Performance Block? Higher Nickel content?

It's real shiny though...

 

Yeah, just read the link .

But, those items are not block specific, this thread seems to be block specific

 

http://turbokits.com/350Z_turbo_kits.html

towards the bottom of the page they have engine internal parts.

 

its block specific (and all the internals)

 

actually, looks like thats just a nissan block with cosworth internals

 

I have to ask...What in gods name do you plan to do?

 

MAYBE just maybe that motor won't burn oil.

 

28 PSI + 11.5:1 CR.

 

thats what i asked.
does he need it (or want it) and can he afford it.

 

dont need the whole engine block...just their rings (which is what im planning to do)

 

Thats scary.

 

Do a franken/hybrid.

DE meets HR. Call it a DER

 

I know but why not just start from scratch and up the CR in the process? Its only money and you cant take it with you.

 

According to nissan, both the 30 and 35 can handle up to 12 lbs of boost. Honestly why would you want more then that. After 10 lbs your just crazy cause of torque steer issues and the car being a FWD.

 

Got a link?

 

Are you still mad at me?

Besides numerous sources around here on the org and on the internet have said that the most you could or should possibly run before seriously considering replacing internals, is at 12 lbs.

 

refresh my memory.

I just found it interesting that you said that NISSAN said. That's all.

 

well you haven't called me in a while, I miss our midnight chats on the PMs about that 3.5" intake setup I am doing, I'm working on boring the TB to 68mm versus the 55mm.

I just nissan, cause everyone else said nissan when they qouted the 12 lbs. I am a bandwagon loser I know

 

Why not try a PFTB set-up? Ahh yes, those lonely nights

, stock is 2.17" ? ? ? ?

 

ahahahahaha. durrrrr

 

That's what you tell them after they ask you your mod list

 

Kinda off topic... How Bada$$ could a N/A VQ be??

Would a Brian Cower 4.15L Stroker Kit(or Jun 3.8L) along with built internals, fuel delivery, ECU etc...($10,000-$15,000 worth of goodies)Do you any good for a N/A application??

Or is a Stroker Kit Specfically usefull for Forced Induction???

 

 

wow....off topic...AND all over the place.

 

I didn't get that one. I'm slow


..seriously, I didn't get it.

 

Ok, scenario:

They ask you TF are your mods, you reply, duuuurrrrrrrr ..
