Septic Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hey guys. I just wanted to ask a possibly noobish question about the VQ35DE. Featured in this month's Banzai issue is an Infinity sporting over 900bhp and the feature specifically mentions the fact that the VQ engine is non-sleeved. I was just wondering what that meant. Cheers for the help Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djtimo Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 A sleeved block mate has the stock nissan cylinder wall machined out and a steel liner "sleeve" inserted. A company called Darton. Running high BHP normally means running high boost pressure. A sleeved block can take alot more boost pressure than the stock item but most sleeved engines run into cooling problems due to the reduced cooling around the cylinder walls. The stock sleeves will take not far off 1000WHP where as a few years ago people thought is would only hold 600Whp and the stock sleeves would fail.
