Should you boost your g35/350z???

Thanks for watching please SUBSCRIBE help me get to 2k!!
----Check out my newest videos to see my build and boosted 350z--------
This video goes over my opinion on boosting your vq motor car added note the 2007-2008 350z motors are a lot better and will handle about 550 hp comfortably

[@DennyBalance]

It's all in the tune. Don't expect more 400 torque to last. Use E85 if possible.

[@theisaiahfreeman8340]

if your gonna boost a DE get forged internals. Itll handle alot more power, especially way more than just 8lb of boost

Having said that, I'm a guy who likes to do what most people dare not to do lol. Why? To be different "as that's the whole point of tuning." I mean seriously, if anyone is going to buy a sports car, then why not performance enhance it vs. stance it? The latter doesn't make any sense IMHO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ P.S. This was a high school dream I told myself when the 1st Gen G's came out. Thus, I bought an 04' VQDE. Why? Because my dream is to build a VQ35DETT like an RB26DETT.

I got a G35. And look for boost up in a safe area to have fun , the longer, the better. Don’t want touch internals since the car have 75,000 well care miles. Still have great compression. I don’t want to be the fastest , but if I can make it faster and not kill the engine YET, will be nice. If you can give me ideas will be great, since you have experience with the same engine. Thank you for the video. Very helpful for vqs owners 👍

Boost it just invest in a built motor boosting a 140k engine is just asking for it to blow

[@HardAngle]

I'm just saying, everyone is always talking about "budget boost" like you can just slap a turbo on and make 500 HP no problem. there's so much more to it. I am planning to do probably the first high horsepower Altima coupe, like 680 wheel horse would make me happy and if I spend 8 to 12 thousand dollars on the engine and drivetrain I wouldn't be surprised. If you're going to aim high you need the bucks to back it up. (I currently do not) Also, this guy could've spend $1,300 on forged pistons and H beam rods and never would've had a problem, anyone who has researched the VQ knows the rods are the weak point, basically the lesson is research your projects before you start slapping stuff together!

[@christopherbassit2757]

Sethro144 anyone that knows basic engine theory knows that the rods are the weak point to any engine

[@TheBiggenzMan]

500 whp is pretty easy to achieve on a budget in alot of cars. Look at kyle from boosted boiz. His civic put down over 700whp on an h22 swapped ek civic. He spent 8800 dollars including the car. That was just rods/pistons and maybe valves and retainers. I get what you are saying, but there are alot of engines out there where literally all you need is a fueling system/big turbo and turn key ready to make 500whp. 2.0 tsi EA888 vw/audi fueling system good up to 450hp, stock engine good for 5. Granted it's already a boosted set up, but you see what I mean. K20's handle 5 to 600whp stock block j 4g63's 5-600 It's all about the platform you chose. You can do alot with a proper stock engine. An Altima is probably going to be alot more expensive, and going to need every nut bolt in/on the engine touched to achieve that goal, not to mention some sort of built tranny.

Still running a stock oil cooler, with a cheap looking filter. You do know that VQ's are known for running so hot the oil foams up, right? Add boost, and it's a recipe for valve, camshaft, crankshaft, gaskets, and rod problems. If the tune was even the slightest bit lean, you were frying the pistons, rods and valves. Even swapping the thermostat for a cooler temp, and putting a fat radiator could have likely prevented this, but nowhere near like a mishimoto oil cooler setup would have.

[@MinistryOfMetal]

Hey man! I just watch your video fully. First of all I appreciate you sharing your experience. You seem like a decent guy to be honest! And sorry about what happened to your motor.... Anyway I have been thinking about boosting for over two months now. I met a guy who owns a GT-86 manual on stock internals with a turbo running 7 psi, and this car is his daily! He was kinda like proof and encouragement that I could do the same! But I've been reading forums and all that and people keep saying their engine popping and blowing after a certain amount of miles! So I don't get it. Is low boost like 4-5 psi giving like 50 more hp actually safe for a daily that I plan to keep for a long time? Will it be reliable for said long time? Or will the turbo screw the engine even on low boost daily driving? Now of course you said in your video low boost is better and wont murder the engine. Also my car is automatic, doea that make any difference at all? Thank you and excuse the long comment 😅

[@brokencarzgarage945]

That should be really safe and uprev now has arc timing feature where they actually allow for btdc timing where as it used to be burn time which makes it way more simple and safe now

[@SicSemperBeats]

omg im in the same predicament i have an 06 auto, I just want the turbo for the feel as far as dailying goes so i wanna know if 4-6 is safe on stock bits

[@thomastran2432]

What intake manifold is that. I just got my 03 350z track model. Looking into turbo it. So you recommend installing forged internals in before boost? How much was your engine build in just parts. Are the turbo kits easy to do myself? What tuner are you on?

[@spawnandbatman6975]

I've seen alot of issues boosting n/a cars. Not only is it very expensive to build a motor worthy of handling boost but then adding a turbo plus a tune lol. Then the shit breaks down and it's a huge money pit
