I know you can put the crank from the 3.5 / 3.6 or so in the J32. So you end up with the best heads and a larger capacity. No idea if it will happen, but it's being discussed. Options, options, as they say. If so... you would likely have the sort of torque levels even the most mad turbo car would make on full boost - but in NA all the time at all revs. Not too shabby  Beyond my budget at the time, but as they say... anything can happen if you throw enough at it. Would certainly be cool. I won't say any more as it is all up in the air. Best to leave it to the new owner to disclose any details as and when, sometime in the future |

I keep coming back to this thread, so much useful information! Currently looking at gear ratios ... looks like I need to swap my 3.9 Torsen for a 3.6 ideally

I am in the process of building a J36 which consists of j32 block CNC ported fully upgraded head capable of 10’000 rpm, 12.1 compression ratio, forged rods and pistons, j37 brand new crank, dry sump set up. Upgraded cams. I am hoping this engine will produce 360 bhp + and 320 ftlb. Rev limit will be 8000 rpm. This should be completed by end of November. |

Sounds ace  I'd suspect it will make even more power than that! 10k RPM... it's going to be a total beast. Good work mate. |

That sounds amazing! Out of interest, who's going to be doing the work on the engine? I'm going to be building a bit of a hybrid with a J35 block, J32 heads and various other bits but I'm still looking into whether I can do it myself or if I'll have to get an engine builder involved
Super interested in how you'll get it to rev that much as I'm hoping to get mine revving a bit more

P2R have done the heads, had the pistons rods made, got me a new crank from Honda and are doing the block machining. I am having some engine components WPC treated too. Once all parts are ready they are getting shipped to basset down re-engineering for them to build up the engine including gapping pistons, blueprinting and balancing the whole rotating assembly. This is how I intent to make it a reliable 8000 rpm engine. I have built engines but on this occasion getting it properly balanced will be a big concern due to rpm. It’s not a cheap build by any means but NA power never is. To get your engine to rev past 7000 rpm. You will need the heads doing. Contact P2R. |

Hey ashbo, have you made progress on your monster engine build? I keep coming back to this thread because memories of V6's engine are seared into my memory cells and come to mind often lol Too much power-to-weight to really use anywhere near all of it regularly on the road  but effortless surge coupled with maniac acceleration when needed is very addictive Not sure I'd have a licence for long, though - reaching and cruising at 90 is like pottering down the shops, it's all so easy, lol. |

Hi. I wish I could say it’s built and it’s in the car but I can’t. Basset down have most of the engine parts now. Just waiting on a ati damper which are only just being released for the j series engines. That should be early Feb. Then the cams which in theory should bump bhp to near the 400 mark. Brian crower has made some which are being tested as we speak so hopefully a few weeks for them. Once they are shipped to me the build will commence. I estimate March for the engine to be built and put in the car. I could just use the stock damper and j32 cams but for a few more weeks it’s seems silly at this point. They are doing a dry sump setup for me too as the sump is really bad design. It’s going to be an absolute animal of a car with no weight gains from stock. Had it on the scales and it’s 960 kg with the v6 engine setup up. 😂😂😂

It's not like we can go out and about to anywhere at the moment anyway... 400bhp will be batprarrie canoe mental lol I don't understand why this engine is not used more, given the weight benefits of it compared to other larger engines! I really wish I could have bought V6's when he sold it but I am not in a good place in monetary terms! |

I've got a gen2 sump from Minitec but my plan is to cut it back to the flange and make something that fits a bit better, fully using the space I have with the tubular subframe Russell |

An long awaited update. This has taken soo much longer than anticipated. In fact two years. So I had to have a custom flywheel due to the j37 crank being longer. Basset down has had it on the dyno and it made 300 hp and 259 ftlb. Obviously no where near where I expected. After doing some steps back we found the vtec was not being activated due to dowels being missing in the heads. It has now got the dowels in and all should be good to go. Back on the dyno Wednesday this week. I am going to do a full new exhaust system including headers as it’s a single two and a half inch exhaust which I know will be a restrictive point. Once this is done I would expect an extra 25 bhp.
