Ford 302 1987-1993 5.0L blocks handle 500hp STOCK INTERNAL
WITH or WITH OUT boost .The small block Ford, the darling of the 5.0 crowd, in stock form, suffers from rod bolts thinner than an anorexic chick’s waist, weak connecting rods, flexy blocks and even more flexy head decks. The Ford 5.0 is also power bound by a poor flowing cylinder head.
I dont recall japan ever getting a DSM. Uh what?
Most compact car import motors are extremely robust compared to the stuff that the domestics have been putting out for years. This comment will draw hate e-mail from the lurking domestic fans but it is quite true. The truth hurts. Some motors like Toyota’s old school 2T and 3T motors and also the 3SG, 2JZ, 20R and 22R, Mitsubishis 4G63 as well as Nissan SR20DE, VG30DETT and L-Series motors are notoriously strong. The SR20DE for example can be reliably turbocharged in its bone stock form to nearly 2.5 times its stock rated power without internal modifications. In fact all of these motors can do it given the proper tuning and setup. Up to 20 psi and sometimes more pounds per square inch of turbo boost have been run through these motors in stock form, with the motors pumping as much as and even more than 500 hp to the wheels. Of course this is with careful fuel and spark management as detonation will kill a mega boosted stock motor almost instantly but it is all still very possible and even safe if you know what you are doing. This is equivalent to a stock small block Chevy or Ford pumping out over 1000 hp! Try sticking 20 psi through your Chevy LS1 or Ford small block and see what happens! I cannot imagine a bone stock small block doing that for more than a few seconds before blowing at least a head gasket
I have always battled dsm's with my 92 sentra se-r sr20det.The 4g63 is one hell of a motor. I'll leave it at that.Shaggy why you always have negative stuff to say..I've read alot of your posts and seems like you hate on everything. Dude do you need to get laid or something.. no offense just my observations.
Peace
