@kacz07 but the HR makes more power cheaper im at 300whp and only spent less then 2g you have like 6 or 7g in parts and labor there and made 293 ? sae ?

@kacz07 Nice, I want to get a 350Z next summer, I plan on doing some mods to possibly hit 450 horsepower. I don't wanna go the twin turbo route so i'll be going with a vortech supercharger with upgraded pulleys and some new pistons to get around 10psi or higher boost. I'll of course do the necssary things such as the plenium spacer upgrade and exhaust etc. I've been looking at Z's between 2003-2005 (These are the only ones I can find in my price range). How much did it cost for your new engine?

If it has wheels or it has tits, it WILL give you problems.

Unibody is better for what 99% of people use pathfinders for. If you want to do serious off-roading, go get a toyota or jeep with the inline 6.
All VQ35DE motors have oil issues, but the rev-up is the worst. A lot of newer engines consume a lot of oil because of the lighter lower-tensile rings. This improves power and reduces friction, but consumes more oil.
On the other hand, I have an F150 with the venerable Essex V6 that I do 10k oil changes on that consumes no oil.

I bored out 0.5mm and put in HR pistons and a thicker head gasket which also gave me an 11.5:1 compression ratio. I have no issues with oil consumption now. The OEM HR pistons and rings are fairly cheap too.
@Jah2070 I bought the spare for like 750 shipped. The new engine, that I pulled and stored right after, was replaced under warranty

Everyone keeps telling me the rev up motor is the worst one to have. Is this true? They say it has the least torque and consumes oil like crazy

@Jah2070 I had my engine replaced, but did so because I engine braked frequently and kept the revs over 4k, but had no problems with the engine. I think MOST engines will consume oil when you do this. Once I got the new engine, I pulled it out immediately (I can use as a spare), bought a rev-up block from SpeedForce Racing, and rebuilt it.
The rev-ups feature intake AND exhaust cam phasing. The DE motor has a HUGE aftermarket compared to HR. It's superior in many ways.

@Jah2070 If you have plans to build it, it's a better blueprint. With new pistons, rings, springs, cams, and a tiune, the car will easily make the same power mine did. I'm prepped for a supercharger, but have been enjoying the power, as is. I still haven't tuned the nitrous yet either, but have already pulled on E60 M5s, E92 M3s, and other high HP cars.
