I was kinda waiting for a noob to come in and say that they went under the valve cover on the ends of the valve stems...providing Bling when you do the valves, and oh, adding 2.735 horsepower.
isn't that what they do? they are better than the ford viton stem seals

car's coming along BEAUTIFULLY!
we'll have to meet up sometime, i'm by madison

"very Are" ?

honestly, the gains on either side are not that great. if you are going it for cruising/fuel economy, then you are going to spend WAY more on the tranny swap than you will save if you switch out the tranny. if you go with a decent 5 speed you will get a better result, since if you autoX you won't waste time shifting. IMHO

well, e-racer, the VQ30DET does come turbo from the factory.
as far s the ECU thing, megasquirt the bastard. of course, thats my solution for everything.
yes, but it's not as easily available as the VQ30/35DEs are.... or are they??? if so, where can i get one??
and yes, megasquirt is the way to go

stupid work computer!
on another note, have you seen the rube goldberg accord commercial that they made a few years ago? awesome.....

did you call up a nissan dealer?
edit - google search only popped up this:

excellent write up! thank you so much. i have been apprehensive about doing megasquirt because it's intimidating. this was much needed. :thumbsup:

While there should be no problem with bolting the 350Z transmission to any other VQ block, the ECU could become an issue... Remember, most of these newer engines need a signal from the original auto transmission to operate properly, which means that you'll either need a good piggyback, or a complete standalone management system, which could push the overall cost to a much higher lever than planned.
well, SOME of the VQ blocks (FWD ones from the maxima/I30/I35) would require swapping of the crankshaft of a RWD VQ (J30/G35/F35/350Z) to mate to a RWD tranny

i LOVE the VQ motors. they make great power and are a little lighter than the VG because they are all aluminum. but, like has been said before, unless you plan on fabbing up turbo manifolds yourself (which would be pretty dope), a turbo VQ build is gonna be pricey. they are high comp motors, so you will also be looking at some lower comp pistons. to make good reliable power, it's gonna be a bit pricey.
although the VQ as an NA motor makes some nice power....

It almost seems to haul more ass than it did 3 weeks ago when the video was first posted here...

hahahahaa.... that poor car

i saw a euro style plate on a car yesterday.... it was the short, wide kind and had the same lic plate number as the rear (which was a US plate).
maybe a custom front plate would work for you?
-
^makes sense.... maybe you'd have to run it through a relay or with a diode?

ya, CA is another state where you can't just take it off, too

has to be the vin.

i just used a file since i was painting over it

That's a real can of worms, almost as bad as the dreaded "Q" word... Search MN47, find posts by Mack and 1 fast z. I'd say look for me, but I'm such a post whore that you'll have a hard time finding anything.
here's the link if anyone else was wondering

i would start another thread on this, but it has probably already been discussed. just as a reference point, what's the highest comp we can pull off on pump gas?

wow, awesome fabrication. keep up the good work!
