Worlds first closed deck VQ35
#16
#17
EDIT: The honda guys that have used studs that are tapped/screwed into the lower-mid portion of the block to support the cylinders, find small studs, that are the same alloy as the block, and use the strongest locktite available (green?) putting only 2ft lb tq, on the stud. I dont recommend anyone try it without extensive research first. Just seems like any extra support, when making high HP, or a high revving motor, would help.
Andrei: Let me know how it works out for you. I am building a vq40de and will be doing a similar procedure to the block, but my guards will be custom..
BTW, great find there, I appriciate the picture comparison..

Got a block today. I'm going to weld it shut probably this year and take it to a machine shop to have it decked and bored 0.20 over for some Wiseco pistons. Rest is Manley rods or Pauter. Want Manley because they are forged in the US. Stock crank. ACL bearings. GTM billet main girdle with billet C caps. L19 head studs. Nismo 8000RPM oil pump with the steel gear should hold 9000RPM without breaking the gear off like the SP 350z did with a Revup pump. Revup pump was never intended to support 9k RPM. Heads will have to be done by Head Games most likely. All for another thread.

Good to hear. It's definitely something I will do also.
Do you think it would be a good idea to weld in the VQ35DE block guards made by Supertech since they already have holes drilled for coolant? http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-252955.aspx Or maybe drill them out some more?
Or would it be better to close the deck completely and then drill coolant passages? How do you know where to drill to make coolant passages? Is that something that is determined by the head gaskets used?

We laid the gasket over the block and traced out the coolant passages

How did the shop measure the exact dept of the block guards they used compared to the gasket surface on the block? I suppose there is a really small margin of error and they cant be too high compared to the gasket surface or too low even if the surface gets decked to make it even.

You have to close the deck before you bore.
