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.

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

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).

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.
