To dowel or not to dowel
When does it become necessary to put in extra dowels?
i am going single with a GT35R and a streetport with all the supporting mods. hoping for 400-450rwhp. the car will be used for street and track use mainly with the occasional drag or two. |
No need to dowel...

^^i disagree
isnt dowel pinning necessary if making more then 250bhp per rotor. it definetly isnt gonna hurt to pin your motor with the numbers you are after i am putting down similar numbers and opted to getter pinned |

unless your going for 700+ it's un neccessary IMO. and even then you can do without, but it's a little extra security haha.

if the car is not tuned properly it will still break. i've seen pinned engines break before. if a plate doesn't crack you will flatten springs or break seals depending on which apex seals you use. just my 2 cents

exactly. i do mine on a cnc machine and even then only add two extra dowel points.. so a total of 4 extra dowells in the block. BUT this alone does nothing without clearancing and balancing; and then ofcourse PROPER FUEL AND TUNING! haha

exactly... the thing i recommend over anything else is clearancing the rotors and balancing the rotating assembly.
|
^ How exactly do you go about clearancing a rotor?
|
^^^With a feeler gauge :lol2:
|
Ah! of course, I thought you were talking about cutting material off of the rotors or something...
|
Just to beat the dead horse, absolutely no reason to dowel pin the OPs motor with that setup.
