  1. 225hp tops with a stock motor and holley/V65 manifold fuel system. that's after the valve timing is corrected- a MUST for these motors. your figures are patently false. the pond racer motors made 1000hp and that was with two-stage boosting and crazy fuel & compression. i've built many VG 510 sedans and if you are willing to go with solid lifters, modded rockers, and billet race cams you can get close to 300hp ON PUMP FUEL, but its not very civilized. we usually stuck with bill good cam profiles on the nismo billets and kept the hydraulic lifters. about 250hp with a proper exhaust system and 690 cfm modded 2300 holley carb, but its all motor and its right there off idle. incredible torque & power band for a N/A 3.0 litre motor.

  2.  @mescko  good luck finding a VG33 block that is within snot for building a hot motor. i tried to get one checked out for a client and the shop said it needed align-boring (main saddles) AND decked back to square. 3 blocks- same story- and no guarantees on any bearing wear. the japanese-made blocks i have used all checked out OK (first time) and thats all i will use and guarantee. boring a VG block (91MM) TO 93MM is risky and a good way to end up with an ash can full of expensive junk. those are cast cranks and can take everything out under failure at high speed- just not worth it to swap used parts unless you know what you are doing. used pistons have to be thoroughly media-blasted, inspected and dye-checked for cracks/trouble spots. new pistons for a VH45DE cost over $740 for 6 pieces- VG pistons much cheaper. why gamble by putting both pistons AND block at risk for failure? the best way to get torque from a VG30 4WD WD21 pathfinder would have been to order JWT's VG30 supercharger kit and bolt the damn thing on. 60 more hp and 100+ more lbs./ft. done.

  3.  @jonathanrigley981  too bad cuz the 88's and 89's are the turbos to have if you care about performance and reliability. the rear-ends in those cars are a 510/610 guy's dream-come-true.

  4.  @josephcottone9613  the engines were NOT the reason for the incident- do your homework
