Ive heard VII bottom ends cant handle much more then around 250wkw (335whp) is this true? has anyone pushed that limit (or around that figure) and can call it safe and reliable for daily driving? also what are the differences between the VII 4g63 and the VIII's 4g63?

 

Its torque and how quickly it comes you need to worry about

Seen Evo 5-6-7 in Australia with over 450 whp stock block


So why not

 

arent the engines in the 7 and 8 the same bottom end wise? it should be able to handle the same hp as a stock 8 bottom end

 

well im almost certain VIII and VIIs are exactly the same. shops recommend with VII's that u dont exceed 335whp with a stock block but ive seen VIII's with over that figure of power with stock bottom ends.

...or maybe i should look for a thread disscusing the differences?? ha
