@@red-bd3mc I think you’re referring to the VQDE the DE is safe at 450 but reaching 500 whp I think it would only be a matter of time before it blows, I know the VHR is known to handle 600 reliably since this is a VHR block in the video, but many times people have blown their VHR block when they get cocky and wanna pass 700 whp.
@@DEATHWISHVQ nah man... im referring to the vhr. sure u can do 500-600whp... but it will eventually let go. its just a matter of time. its not really the whp its the trq. the rods are tiny on the vqs. also they are open deck block. and they are N/A from the factory which means the ring gaps are set for an N/A motor... which need to have more of a gap on a boosted motor as they run hotter. trust me... youre not having a vhr 600whp last more than 20k miles. unles u drive it like a .... wooss.
@@red-bd3mc hmm yeah that makes more sense. Because I know dyno queen cars make a lot of power at the dyno ofc and it’s impressive and all but there’s never an update video 10k 20k 30k miles later. How does an NA setting ring gap affect the engine when under boost? I’m not an expert on what ring gaps do or how certain things may affect it.
@@DEATHWISHVQ the gaps on the N/A cars are smaller versus turbo cars. The turbo cars get much hotter inside the combustion cylinder. Hence having an n/a gap ring on a turbo car could cause them to bind up. End of the day... if these motors handled 600whp taking a beating .... and never skipped a beat... ppl would swap them into e36s and other builds ... rx8s... just how they do the 2jz. But clearly the vq isn't build to last at such power levels.
