What would be the best combo to make power to 8000 rpm? What cams at what lift/duration? What sprockets? What turbo? I'd like to make 270-300 whp. I don't care if it doesn't make power until 4000. I like some lag to stay out of boost while cruising. But a 3500-4000 rpm pull range would be nice. If your wondering what I'll use if for that would be fun. Just something to beat on and raise general hell. Thanks

You won't need cams to make power up to 8,000rpm

You will need a bigger turbo, injectors, engine management, fuel pump, exhaust, intercooler and tune

Turbo wise something like a HKS2535 would be good if your looking for around 300rwhp and its not that laggy either

ive got the KKR480 turbo... runs about 17psi. bit laggy, full boost by about 4.5k but turbo is still new so gotta let it settle a bit.. but apart from that.. car revs happily to 8500rpm with out so much as a tune yet

i got intercooler, exhaust, gtr fuel pump, remapped ecu and electronic boost controller...

Meh to valve springs and all that. Just get a nice turbo rated at around 400hp, something like a TD06, 3071 etc and get it well tuned with adjustable cam gears. I run a TD06 on a std motor and on plenty of occassions have ran it to a 8,800rpm rev limit with 18psi or so jammed into it. Though i tend to try and run either high revs or high boost, not normally both.

I know what supporting mods are necessary just needed some advice on good combos to utilize. Thanks.

I really have no good reason other than "just because" or the sound and to do it often. At least hit 8k in neutral, 2nd, or 3rd every day till/if it pops(I know I'm a ricer). If it does it can be rebuild. I love the power/sound/revs/price of the rb20. Its perfect for me.

Who here can mod the stock mani to use an ext wastegate? How much? Isn't the 20g what some dsms have stock but uses 3 bolt flange or what ever?

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
