That all depends on the size of turbo(s) you use. I could have said the same general statement you did but switched the words single and twins.

Don't be mad at the V6. Nissan GT-R. 480hp V6TT. ;) RBwho? :biglaugh:

Sorry your thread went this way. I just don't understand this guy and why he hates the 350Z so much he doesn't want to acknowledge its accomplishments. It seems like if I don't write him an entire novel about the Z, he won't shut up. But I've already pointed him in the right direction...

Who is we? You're the only one here being stubborn about the Z and the VQ. Nissan's overview was not the only reference I mentioned. But as usual in this thread, you only decide to acknowledge and reply to what you feel like and ignore many other things I say as I've had to repeat them over...

Good to know! (I didn't.)

What about the S2000? Does it have an engine only fit for a family sedan? How about the Elise? Have an engine not fit for a sports car?

I swear you are so dense. I gave you references to a site talking ALL about the VQ. Did you even read it yet? And out of this whole thread you haven't really said anything. Haven't disproved my points about the power they make and haven't even given a reason why it's not a great engine...

The I6 is dead. :biglaugh: Bring on the V6TTs and V10s!!! GT-R and LF-A YEAH!!!

Buy a new pair of shoes. (I've been wearing the same shoes since '03. Not joking.)

Put the haterade down, Kai. You're starting to sound like Syris. ;) That crap OHV engine and leaf springs put the Vette around the 'Ring at a very quick time.

I feel the same way about NA Supras. :) Have you driven the new '08? I haven't. But the power increase is substantial and I bet they're not as boring to drive as the earlier year Zs. I'm sure Nissan could have given it something with more power or turbos but they built it the way they did...

:dunno: All I said was the VQ is a great engine. :dunno: then Mr. Know-it-all got so up in arms in making me do all the work to support it even though he wasn't willing to try himself, actually follow the references I gave, or give any reasons to why it's not. Does anyone else here really...

What about the VQ makes it NOT a great engine? You're just being extremely stubborn. Why? I don't know. What vested interest do you have in not giving credit where its due? Since you're such a smart guy, why don't you tell me what's not to like about it? Please don't say it's a V6 and hard...

This is getting really old. It's obvious to me you have some chip on your shoulder about the Z and its VQ. Maybe you got punked by a few Zs while driving your Supra? I don't know. And at this point, I don't care. Believe what you want. This is wasting time now. I even told you it...

Lower the compression of VQ, raise the boost to compensate, and it still performs as well. People do this with NA-T 7Ms, 2Js, or any other motor that started life as an NA. That's like the 3rd time I've said it.

http://www.nissanusa.com/z/specifications-coupe.html If these aren't specs "worthy" of a sports car in the Zs class, I don't know what else to tell you. I'm not going to explicitly spell everything else out for you. Learn to read and comprehend a little better.

It probably wouldn't sell well I bet considering the release of the GT-R. Plus, they're already getting power levels comparable to the 300Z and other companies sports cars in that price range without turbos. Turboing it would put it in a class the Z isn't really aimed at.

You really should learn to comprehend a little better. I never mentioned a DIFFERENCE in PSI/COMPRESSION for a reason why a VQ could make more power/tq. I said it makes more in Na form and can make more in boosted form. You brought compression up and I said that it will still match a 2J...

You aren't giving the VQ the credit it deserves.

Nissan GT-R!! 480hp 3.8L V6TT.
