yeah, I routinely get GT-R UOA's, typical HP is 1700WHP. lol after a while one thinks about how much money you'd have to spend to go faster and a stock GT-R will still walk on this thing all day, sort of what keeps me from doing the super charger or Novel exhaust. Only thing I will say about the GT-R is that it is much stiffer and very clunky, that trans does not like shifting under 4K.

Only on a dyno run. There's no way in hell you can get 1700 hp for more than a few seconds at a time with the limited cooling these cars have. I have experience with engines producing 1000 hp all day long. The radiators are massive, and an oil change involves a lot more than a barrel. I should have shown you the piston I have from a Mirrlees engine when you were here. 1000 hp all day long without missing a beat. Makes a great shop stool.
edit: HOLY ****!!! Lol that is one big piston alright!!!

Not anymore from what I've seen. The way they're building the 2500-3000WHP GT-R's , 1700 is no longer even considered fast. I'm on a GT R forum where the average guy with 1700WHP is sort of considered "middle of the road" lol. Yeah these guys barely have oil in their engines, about 7-8 quarts. But most on that forum don't care, they like rebuilding every 1-2 years and those are $100,000 build and $25-50,000 engine rebuilds. I will agree they wouldn't hold that power on a road track though. But most those guys drag race only, so 8 seconds or less is all it matters to them.

That piston is one of six, and it weighs 68 pounds. Classic old school diesel generator set. Low RPM, high BMEP, big and very heavy. Really nice piece of high grade scrap aluminum today.

I have been following this company for a while now. To me its all looks and no go. But I will be the first to admit my mistaken opinion if this setup is proven on a track,dyno etc. But I am not holding my breath. This is the only company out of Japan that I dont feel confident with and I have dealt with a bunch. Looks nice but whats the point if thats all it does?

Could not agree more. These pins will almost certainly promote deformation at a critical location in the bore.
