AdvancedME goes for 1kbhp with the Z

With our good friend Mr 420Z we are now preparing to get 1000bhp from the VQ engine!

 

This thread will be following us as we go from 656bhp @ the hubs

( http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/vide ... 8&comments ) to a target of 900bhp @ the hubs

 

656bhp was achieved at 17psi on Shell Vpower without NOs. After the refresher rebuild we plan to run 27psi with race fuel and then "top up" the rest with Nos as Mr 420Z has requested :-)

 

So far we have baselined the car on the Dynapacks and have now stripped the whole powertrain out to get her ready for 1kbhp!

 

On the cards is

 

Ceramic coated manifolds & Turbo

Turbo blankets

Cosworth 290deg Camshafts with upgraded DLC tappet shims

All new Bearings (mains & Big ends, thrusts)

Cylinder head rebuilds seats, valves etc

Block preparations

Wizards of Nos full wet system

Remap of the AEM/GEMS Hybrid engine management system

 

So far we have found:

 

Brian Crower Crankshaft = Perfect

Brian Crower Connecting Rods = Perfect

CP 100mm pistons = Perfect

Main bearings = 55% wear

Big ends = 65% wear

Thrusts = Severly damaged

Tomei Camshafts and Nissan Tappets = 90% perfect rear cam lobes damaged on nose slightly

Turbos = Perfect

 

We are putting the bearing wear down to an occasion when the car suffered low oil/starvation and the cam wear to the Non DLC tappets and oil starvation.

 

Even so it shows that with sufficient cooling the VQ block will handle power in excess of 750bhp without issue.

 

Photos to follow :-)

A few photos for starters.

 

He has indeed gone for the Racepak digital logging GPS dash along with a full range of AEM gauges which will all be logged by the Racepak.

 

The car is sporting one of our custom 85mm Radiators for cooling along with special coolant mix, extra bleeding points and mahoosive SPAL fans. Mr 420Z is not a numbers man! He drives the car like he stole it so it will certainly see some anger. We would never recommend this set-up for a track day car however he will definatly be going to Santa Pod to see what times it pulls. Should easily be in the 10s but only time will tell!

 

We cant wait either!

I am sure a few on here would like to see that, if you/Mr420Z would care to share the date ;)
