Great video. Very informative simple bottom line answers with actual real cost and numbers that make sense. And no b.s. annoying music the whole time.Thank you man.

[@brokencarzgarage945]

+dougarnold thanks so much!

[@cemsengul16]

I love all motor builds because it is easy to make big power with boost. There is innovation in squeezing tons of power from a small engine.

[@475george]

Very help full ! Thank you dude for making the video

[@brokencarzgarage945]

no problem i am about to upload a budget build if you want to check that out

[@catf4077]

ur voice is the type of voice that i actually like to listen to

[@sprydo7113]

Thanks very much for the info....keep up the great work guy!!

[@Zspeed]

Great information, thanks for sharing this video!!!!!

[@DEATHWISHVQ]

extra info for those who are learning: upgraded oil pump gear like a billet one can allow you to rev to 8K! This is an important part that every built engine should have. L19s are cool for 600, but if your goal is over 700-800+ ARP 625 aged studs are best suited and way stronger. Pair this power level with a cometic copper HG, 800+ fuel hoops are a must this creates an optimum seal to avoid head lift. Of course you’ll need something like 2x 450 fuel pumps.

I used to work at Z1 Motorsports and I know that we NEVER sold “knock off” Nissan parts. We would get our shipments in DIRECTLY from Nissan themselves.

[@brokencarzgarage945]

Then the dealer does...I’m very familiar with the process.zero parts should ever come in a not part number bag.

[@Malficion]

I had to check the date uploaded. 😂 Man, labor and machining are up through the roof. I expect modern assembly and machining around 7k.

[@omnipotentgaming166]

I dream to to build my 350z into a grip track killer with 600-700whp 😭😭😭 one day. Gotta keep working my butt off and save up

[@donnieshivel9882]

My close friend has a semi built greddy twin turbo 05 g35 sedan, with ONLY wisco pistons and eagle rods and Nissan Juke head studs personally tuned, only costed 1200 bucks to put the motor back together, taking into consideration that you do the work yourself, and using a lot of the same engine components because most of the time the little things that take up a lot of the cost of a motor build are FINE. He has had the same setup for 3 years NO ISSUES. Makes 650/720 to the wheels as long as you watch oil pressure/temp and don’t beat the shit out of it as soon as you cold start it you’ll be fine if you do it right. You don’t need to spend 5k on a build VQ... if your looking to just be able to make power in your G/350z just motor swap it, cause if you want to spend upwards of 5-8k on your vq motor and still not be boosted why not just slap a ls and make the same numbers on a n/a block... the swap isn’t as hard as most people make it out to be.

[@qpzmak]

Did your friend balance the crank since the new piston and rod are different weights

[@jaylenh1115]

Go to z1 motorsport they have everything

[@Bri11ante]

@4:28

[@18Elitegamer]

5,600 seems manageable. but the question is how much do I have to lie about when I talk to my non car friends about it.🤔. im.thinking of working with the vq for my first build since I already assembled one before.

[@osoblizz7937]

I wonder what the HP and TQ numbers are for something like this?

6k for a decent rebuilt VQ35DE isn't bad. A used vq and trans are about $1200-$1600 alone

[@osoblizz7937]

I have the VQ35DE at 181k I gotta rebuild it. Not looking for wild hp numbers just a lil over 300hp to my fwd system lol

[@VZBudgetBuildz]

6k gets you a 700-800hp capable Vq. A DE at that so hell yeah......

[@K.media-now]

What did you use for valve covers I’m trying to figure which to get?

[@diabllooki3718]

You forget about the rocket covers and the crankshaft

[@Malte-Micha]

You can get a complete zero mile engine updated with all new racing parts for 3,800. And none of the please arts are cheap copies!! this info I state is as of now in 2018!! I have a G35 with the same Engine. If you want ceramic coating on pistons its a 300$ extra!!

[@wakeywakeyeggsnbakey9277]

Malte Micha where at???? I have a de 350 i wannna swap the tranny and motor

[@Malte-Micha]

Matk Meraz, car monkeys is one of them, then there is some performance stuff you can do to the old engine and you can buy those parts online they're about $5,000. Then you know what you're getting for you know what's in that engine you can go the cheap route and just get the whole engine into a drag and drop but you never know what you're getting in that case. Also a mechanic's can get a hold of the engine 2 I did the Drag and drop. I kept the old engine because I am going to update it myself for a high-level Performance Engine a stage 4. Google is your best friend on that deal good luck.

[@jeffalv6176]

is this the good build to go single and dual turbo?

[@911Estyle]

3100 for parts 2400 for labor. That's what I paid.

[@ramabdulazeez8675]

Is that a turbo build? If not can u do a video with a turbo build

[@TC-uu8rh]

Nooooooo. Get give up. Get off your ass and go get it

[@StoneCoolds]

@Muhammad Baig and then add the turbos and tune, by the time you hit 700hp, family SUVs will come 900hp stock xD

[@StoneCoolds]

@Muhammad Baig i can lol, but personally i left my Z stock, and for power i use my mercedes, lot more powerful, strong internals, easy and fast to to gain power xD It will take you from 40 to 60k for a 600-700 hp z, plus the time, with that you can buy a 600hp + 4k in renntech tune, and you get an 800hp monster My AMG only needed 4k to hit the 650 mark and thats 100hp below its max on stock internals lol The z its an amazing car but just not worth it, lets see how the new Z comes out But of course if you have tons of money just go for it, there is a guy that put 60k in a 350z and another 60k in his 370z and probably will put another 60k in the new Z, but he earns lots of money ^.^

[@PlaguedxAmbition]

NovorSec cost me 7k to rebuild my motor and it can handle up to 900hp, with my custom turbo kit I’m getting about 750 to the wheel. Was only around 11k def not 40-60k lol

[@Kyronsk8]

I want to build my motor but I'd rather not spend more than what the car is worth. Got my 03 g coupe for 5 Grand. Id rather spend 5k plots on a newer g37 which is why I'm waiting to do anything modification wise: good info though! Maybe I'll let it become a project car once I get a 37

[@robreeto]

You can get a low mileage vq35 for under 600 bucks and then spend another 4k on mods, cuz basically this guy is spending 5k on a stock VQ35

"Infinity"...

Looking to build my De instead of 2j swapping or RB. I just love the vq platform. But how much with this setup can it withstand? Going single turbo is my goal and I’m shooting for 500-550 is all I want for my street z. Please answer. Looking forward to it.

[@sullyvevo9680]

my friend tried to get his to 500 horsepower with a similar engine build as this video and blew it up within 3K miles you'll need a full stage 3 long block for that kind of power which will end up costing you about 8 to 10 grand before Labor and the Turbo

8.8-10

[@javyg1561]

how much power is the set up good for?

[@ballsman6084]

at least a couple hp

[@steveng2488]

So how much go you pushing and this sound like a lot of money I feel R32 or 2j swap for 3k to 6k

[@adriansolarz6715]

The engines themselves are 2-12k and the swap and harness and labor will cost another 5k plus

[@787blah]

2jz and Rb aren’t cheap.

[@TravellHiike]

I don’t know why you say the eagle rods are only good for 600 wheel horsepower I have seen builds pushing 1000 with them

[@countyezz4309]

Whats the hp gain ull get from doing all of this?

[@heto007]

none

[@ThatBustedVQ]

It’s not to gain hp, just to make it be able to handle more power safety with forced induction

[@willk3807]

Just swap out the VQ35 with a VK56

[@AntifIaw]

buy hr(around 10k in my area with 100kmiles), or cheap rev-up and build the engine? hmm

[@brokencarzgarage945]

I'd go with what motor you have already swaps are not cheap or easy

[@ZekeMagnum]

How about everything else? This is the motor, but do we need new clutch? diff? brakes? brake fluid?

Dont forget a new transmission, injectors, fuel pump, exaust etc Building a z for 600hp will eat you about 40 grand, totally not worth it

How much of this would actually be needed for an NA stroker build?

[@osoblizz7937]

I'm on the same wave. I'm not looking for outrageous power numbers just enough to put a bigger smile on my face than stock. And I have 03 Maxima 6spd fwd. All I want is stroked N/A 300hp to the wheels.

[@jocgarner3133]

@@osoblizz7937 with your Max you dont need to do all that to get 300 to the wheels. Hell you can run full bolt on and bigger injectors to support the e85. Also with a good tune would damn near be right at 300 to the wheels. But it's all about your budget and researching.

[@osoblizz7937]

@@jocgarner3133 Thank you. I was gonna go the rebuild route since I'm at 182k right now so the motor can handle the bolt ons. As far as aftermarket performance idk who is reputable.
