VQ37 block HP limit?

[Snyper]

What's the safe HP limit for these blocks? 800whp safely attainable with proper internals?

[bullitt5897]

The blocks themselves have already proven to take 800+whp. Upgraded internals as you know are required once going past ~650whp. These are stout motors and with proper internals and TT kit you should be easily able to break into quadruple digits. I am on a stroked 4.5L and we are shooting for almost double what your looking for.

I dont think the block will hold 1600whp even with upgraded internals. Im not as knowledgeable as others on here, but AMS GTR block started twisted around that level so they had to switch to a billet block

Poor guy, so much money spent with nothing to show ... Me bryan and maybe a hand full of others have a closed deck block and even that hasn't been tested until failure. It's crazy because unlike the gtr it's impossible to put that kind of power down but like I said some people just like dyno numbers.

LOL ,
love the pissing contests and DI** measuring going on.
Very amusing indeed.

Wow Cosmo... Running the block of the guy you hate... What a f*cking hypocrite!

Fact 4.1 and 4.4L stroked GTR blocks on the ETS TT kits are making 1500+ and 1600+ whp on similar turbos as mine. The VR motor is a kissing cousin to the VQ motor when you break them down. Our heads are more efficient than the GTR and I already have built heads but with stock cams.

Cosmo talks out of his *** and couldn't find his *ss from his elbow in this engine bay. I have already pushed the limits of the stock intake manifold, I have already reached the limits of the GTM manifolds and the GTM GARRETT turbos.

Cosmo talks about **** like he has facts but in fact all his information is based on 2nd/3rd hand info. He also makes crazy *** assumptions and presents them as facts... Just like saying I don't pay for my parts... You know what Cosmo you are a freaking drama queen! There was no drama until you opened your mouth.

So OP the stock lower block will have no problem holding 1200-1300 whp. However, yet again someone has to venture into the the unknown which is what I am trying to do. i have always been at the forefront of our platform and taken things to the limits. I am just glad there are now others willing to venture in that realm. People like Bryan at BBR have a unique look at this platform and I wish him the best at making his goals. Moses aka CarbonZ is also on the path for 1200whp+.

The thing is I respect those willing to step up and put up. But I don't respect idiots like Cosmo who do nothing but run their mouth with nothing to show for except blown motors and bitching... I am on the same motor from the get go for the last 6 years... How many have you had Cosmo?

[bullitt5897]

Also to clarify I would sleeve the block if your wanting a long term motor over 1000whp. That's why I mentioned going closed deck by the same guy that sold Cosmo his block... He loves to talk **** about the guy given his new block was free... Lol fact...

Here we go again.

[COSMO]

Do you see what I mean now. As I sit here and laugh my @ss off I can't help but to feel sorry for bullitt.. The truth hurts doesn't it.. As the truth is he speaks of all of this knowledge but has NOTHING to show but how he alone pioneered forced induction for our cars.. Reality check dude..

[COSMO]

The fact is no one has pushed past the 1200whp mark so no one really knows how far anything motor can be pushed yet alone having a massive fuel system that will support that kind of hp.. Bullitt has to feel like he is the man on this forum because he has spent so much money on his car. You may have the same motor for 6 years but I know it hasn't ran for 6 years. slick..
