Re: Built for Boost

I like the 4G63 engines. with those cast iron blocks, they're like tanks, cant destroy em.

IF you want a solid block thats na.... look for turbo diesel engines that were converted over to be used as gasoline engines. ie.. The jetta vr6 block. not only is there block think but there rods are pretty hefty too. i would also bet most of the quality german made engines are pretty hefty. Like bmw, just lower compression add boost and i bet it would last forever also.

the 1990 bmw 318is motor has forged rods stock.

Is the rumor true that "most" (say like.. 1990 and above, im not sure) Nissan engines have forged rods, pistons and crank?

I've heard that but never had any experience with nissan really. I swapped an SR20 into a 240 but never opened up the motor. I do know that the RB series (skyline motor) they tested the factory internals/block and it with held all the boost nissan could throw at it. basically indestructable.

Re: Built for Boost

BMW can handles lots of boost, stock turbo M3 can handle about 600whp stock. D series is indestructible even at its limit, oh and nissan's ka24 can handle 300whp + with good/decent tunning (forged rodas and crank).

Re: Built for Boost

ive had my accords stock 135k mile A20A3 engine to 13psi with spikes to 16-17psi on pump gas over 2 seasons, ive had it boosted for nearly 3 years though. I recently lost the engine due to bearing carnage but other than that the compression is 175psi across the board.

I am just wondering where you found a boosted S54 making 600whp on a stock motor. Don't post garbage, some people may believe you.
