Someone bent your block!

Its in some weird "V" type shape! :eek:


:lol: Just kidding. I know some people have this weird fascination with "non-boxer" motors for some reason. ;)


Good luck with it and I hope you put down the numbers you're looking for!

Haha. I actually love boxer engines. I used to race Subarus back in the day. :)

I want that motor for my S30Z. Great work. Now go teach Supras a lesson.

Re: My built VG30DETT 300ZX engine is completed!
 

This is one of the best engines ever... I wish the new 350Z engines were closed decks :(

Re: My built VG30DETT 300ZX engine is completed!
 

Import Parts Pro does 350Z engines as well.

Re: My built VG30DETT 300ZX engine is completed!
 

Beautiful! Looking forward to hearing about the numbers it puts down.

Closing decks?

And do you care to shed some light on:

"Crank knife edged
Crank center weight tig welded into place"

Curious about the pros of these mods...

300zx's are up there with my favorite 2 door coupes. Make us proud and unleash that monster engine you got!

Can I has for my 300ZX? :D

Re: My built VG30DETT 300ZX engine is completed!
 

He can have anything done. As for the Knife edging, it lightens the rotational weight improving rev-up time, meaning that there is less resistance against the engine. Quicker rev-up makes for quicker spool up, resulting in a wider powerband. It also makes for less resistance against the oil that the counter weights dip into and makes for less aeration of the oil in the pan. Inline and boxer engines can have FULL knife edged cranks which results in even better performance since more can be removed.
The Tig welded weight is, in my best guess, a precautionary measure so that the weight does not back out. The weight they add is to balance the crank at high speeds. My particular engine will have a redline of 9,000 RPM.
Here is a link to a specific package that he offers for the 350Z engine. Notice the 1200 WHP capability on it.

I know I am pushing with this, but might you have some pics about the tig welded weight? Because I cannot notice it in the pics you posted
