Everyone likes to believe what they hear from the net. I am closing my ears from people who are telling me of something they heard about.

Yeah, what they said... JWT and Mike Kojima for example, who is an engineer at Nissan in addition to being one of the smartest people I know and a friend of mine. You closing your ears about this is exactly what I was alluding to in my previous post. It's not going to help you out any. This isn't internet gossip we're talking about here, this is solid information from people who have taken the engine apart, and know exactly what's in it, and what will work and what won't.

Don't misunderstand me - I want to see a turbocharged Spec V as much as anybody. I just think that if you're prepared to try it, you could probably use some information about the motor beforehand to help you avoid making critical mistakes and blowing up your engine. The QR25DE will not take very much boost at all, at least not in stock form... that's just the way it is with this engine.

If you really want to do it right and NOT blow up your engine, you'd do well to start asking questions rather than assuming people are lying to you. There are people here who can tell you what you need to know to do it right.

and search for turbos..look for a guy named travis....he has complete turbo kits for our cars....$$ though [/QUOTe

I think he is putting SR20DET into those. I don't think he is turboing a QR25. [/b]

look in NPM... last months issue for the feature on Travis.....

and yes he is running a '93 SR20DET not a QR

I have seen a "ventilated" QR25 block though. 8,000 miles.

About that blower that you have seen in Import Tuner, I read the article and they wrote that it was completely custom mounted and developed at Area 51 Fabrications. It resembles the stillen/vortech blower found for the maxima as far as placement in the engine bay and the type of blower (centrifugal) used. I imagine though that it should be out soon. And I do not agree with the way that Nissan built the QR25. They have plenty of applications that they could have borrowed predeveloped know-how. The QR is blown way out of proportion in my opinion, after I saw what SCC dynoed it at, about 142 whp, thats one horrible drivetrain if you ask me. What I was looking forward to, but also knew that Nissan wouldn't do, is drop a DET in and then it could really be a Si killer, it would be able to whipe the pavement with all those overconfident honda's and GS-T's. My opinion though, I don't even own a SPEC-V, I'm just a dreamer.

Greg, what are the details on that ventilated QR? Forced induction related, or just something like oil starvation, or something else? Inquiring minds want to know.
