Hi Everyone!

I bought a R33 GT-R with 650 hp (T88 Turbo) and broken engine. I replaced the engine with an N1 Engine (8000 USD) and now I dont know if this engine will survive at this high output. Are the balanced internals of this engine good enough for this spec or should I replace them with Tomei parts?

Does anyone here have experience with this setup and knows how much HP a standard N1 is capable for?

Sorry for this "noob" question, searched the internet and several forums but didnt found an answer.

Stock internalls will handle that power level just fine with a good tune. N1 will be more than fine. Again, it's all in the tune and finding out why the original motor popped.

Rgr that. Get yourself a set of gauges (i.e. oil temp/pressure, water temp, egt, wideband, and knock sensor readout) and a good tune.
