is it true you cannot boost a qr25de?

[nismo_pilot]

i was reading into mods for my 2005 ser spec v and i ran across a post that says the qr25 doesnt handle boost well. i was wondering if that applied only to the 2002 version or whether i would have problems with my 2005. i know the stroke of the engine requires new rods, but can you find rods that will handle say, 18psi of boost without shattering? and what will a turbo do to the life of a qr25? i thought i did a lot of homework about this car before buying it and now im getting a little nervous. any help would be appreciated


edit-4.10.07- QR25DE handles 8-10psi on stock internals semi-reliably given that the intake butterfly valves are removed to lessen low end torque, destroked versions have produced up to 550whp with custom parts

I think that they're wont be any problem, but im not an expert, for more info go see these sites : www.b15sentra.net, www.specplace.com, and www.serboard.com. They will prbly be a great help fur yur futur project.

qr25 handles mild boost okay. there's been at least one reported case of a stock-boosted motor putting uneven wear on the wrist pins after 20 thousand miles.

there's a couple of ways to go about getting beefier internals. definitly look into a block guard if you're going to tear your motor apart to put in stronger rods/pistons.

hey man i have a 05 and i am boosting 14 and i drive it everyday. i have had no problems but i also have the A.E.M. stand alone sytem [E.M.S.] so its tuned but other than that its my daily driver and i am very happy with it

there's no reason you can't do 8 pounds safely on stock motor....as long as you have good cooling, and you get a good system with fuel upgrades.......if you're looking for internals....importperformanceparts.net has everything you'll be looking for.....
