And your LS swaps!!! Not only is it mated to a AWD system, but it can be beaten to a pulp and it is always ready for more. Plus, no 2JZ or LS is ever going to sound this good.

People send these thing to ridiculous power levels. Don't know how reliable they are at 1000hp. People say 400hp is about as good as it will get before you have to start changing internals out.

The old inline 5 was based off of a 10v version found in 100s. Then it was turbocharged and they placed the engine in the sedan. Then the Sport Quattro came out with 20v turbocharged fury. It was an alloy block and when used in rally operations made nearly 550hp and up to 600hp for their Pikes Peak car.

Then they placed the 20v engine into the IMSA GTO car(which made 700hp). It was "based" on the production engine which doesn't mean anything cause now it is a race engine. They final decided to mass produce the engine in the early 90s! Hurray! So now us poor folk can buy a somewhat racing related engine.

This was generally knowledge I have. If any Audi aficionados can help point me to a good source of information I would appreciate that!

Only 400 on stock internals? D: I guess that is enough but still :( I'll take that first one and find a way to shove it in my rwd Z33..please....pretty please? with cherries on top!?!? >.<

The rods are usually the first thing to go, but if you do decide to upgrade it, the power output rises to ridiculous levels.

I approve of this sentiment.

Same thing with the VQ35DE in the Z, they hold out till about 500 ish hp, then the rods start to go. And of course, My goal is rigghhttt over that, as I want 600 ish at the rear's at some point -.-

How long does the engine hold up at 500hp? Cause that is quite a lot. I know people have gotten the FA20 up to 350whp no problem. But then some people have rods breaking at 300whp. The engine isn't consistent.

Good question, I've scene videos of a few cars that claim to be tracked and daily'd at 500, but I imagine something would fail at some point. In a way, it isss sort of the reincarnation of the RB series witch are known for holding up pretty good.

Well the RBs were overbuilt from the factory. Doesn't the R35 GTR share some parts that are similar to the VQ35?

I'm not sure, I'd imagine they used what they learn from the VQ35 for the VQ37VHR in the 370Z and the VR38DETT in the GTR, but who knows..well..Nissan engineers know I'm sure, lol

So much win.

Despite my 160hp/160 ft/lb being severely underpowered for the weight of my car, I love my NA 20v I5. Definitely one of the best engines ever IMHO. Easy enough to work on, too.
