Who makes built long blocks for the 370?
 

I was on GTM's website and saw they have built long blocks for sale but are they built 350Z blocks? Do any companies out there make built 370Z blocks yet, and if so who? Sorry for the noobish questions I just couldn't find anything on that.

We've built VQ37 shortblocks, and long blocks. It's still fairly rare, becuase the stock VQ37 is pretty stout. But yes we do build them in house. Here is what one looks like. :)

Are you going to be selling then on your website? I know people speak highly of you on the forums and you've done a bunch of 350Z FI set ups, are you going to be offering 370Z TT setups on your website as well eventually?

Holy hotness batman!

Those are beautiful.

Holler at GTM and see...

are those OEM sleeves in the last pic?

Very nice work. :)

Oh and by the way sharif you've done some banging engines on the 350Z, keep up the good work!!:happydance::driving::tup:

:drool: <--- me looking at the long block pic

Sharif at Forged Motorsports really knows his stuff!!! Kudos to you for already having this out!

We've read that this VQ37 block is more stout than the VQ35 but do you have any hp estimates just based on your work? Reliable daily driver horsepower, reliable weekend hp, extreme limit?

I think they said it's probably 500-550 (estimate) on a stock block for the 370Z

Check out GTM website for their twin turbo FI kit for the 3.7Z/G37. Tuning the new engine seams to be the hold up.

Hey Sharif, how much streetable, daily-driver HP can you make outta VQ37 from the stock bottom end and heads? Turbo or whatevers?



And how much if you go all motor via raising compression, using agressive cams, porting, etc.?

Going N/A is going to cost you BIG $$$$ and in my opinion it is not worth it! for about $10k you can have a TT setup installed and tuned from GTM. N/A will cost you the same if not ALOT more for less results! From what I have seen the motor can easily handle up to 550hp and probably more. Stage 2 GTM G37's were putting out much more than that daily!

Some people like quick throttle response rather then lag. You couold always throw in some nitrous with the all motor setup for that extra juice. I'm all for turbos but I like N/A too. Just not with 4 cyls, lol!

That is a nice looking block Sharif!!!

Yes they are. There is a head gasket on the block in the last pic.

Yes Ryan is adding several dozen new 370z products this week. The shortblocks will be added as well.

To answer another question about power levels, it's too early to say. 500 to 550whp seems to be extremly safe at this point. This is nearly 150whp more than the safe limits of the previous generation vq35. :)

Hope that answers your questions. :)

We have developed the vhr internal parts over a year ago, All internals are on the shelf and ready to go (pistons,rods,valve train and even crankshaft)

and we do currently have a stroked 4.5l long block on the shelf

you can call shop or send me a pm
