I never said anything about psi until you brought it up.

I agree. I'm still a Supra/JZ fan but Zs are great as well.

Obviously people use the GTE versions of the 7m, 1j, and, 2J because they are available from the factory. The VQ is not a factory turbo'd motor. Did you really need somebody to point that out to you?

Neither did I. Both motors are great in their own right. One isn't necessarily better than the other and they both have made a lot of power. If I said the 2J is a great motor, I don't think anybody would question why. 306 in NA form for the Z is great. That's almost as much as the...

Lower the compression, up the boost to compensate. It's still able to make match or beat a 2J in hp/tq. *It's called displacement*

No it's still a 3.5L actually. Engine VQ35HR—3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine 306 hp @ 6,800 rpm 268 lb-ft @ 4,800 rpm http://www.nissanusa.com/z/specifications-coupe.html Thanks,

It can also makes more hp/tq in turbo form than a GTE. And it's not like the engine is unreliable. What else do you want me to say?

The '08 Z makes 306hp from its "unqualified" 3.5 V6.

Right. I agree. I never said VQ was superior to 2J. Just that it is a great motor and definately worthy to be used in a sports car.

Ferrari V12 makes more power than a 2J. 2J is not a great engine to me. Neither is LS7.

An example of what? No one is talking about LS7s. :dunno: We're talking about 2Js and VQ. That's it. Again, I never said it was better than the 2J, just that it is a great motor in its own right. I guess the 7M isn't fit for a sports/GT car either. Since, you know..., it needs to be...

Who is talking about LS7s? :stickpoke

random though - 10:29AM I can't wait to get out of here. I get off at 12 and don't have to be back 'til next thursday.

I only work two days this week and two days next week because of holidays! And I get paid still for the holidays. It's fantastic! Glad it's not raining over here! EW!! diaper!!

Lol... you're gonna have your car tuned before me and I've had the parts sitting here for at least a month. I have an AFC2 and a zeitronix wideband but too lazy to put them in the car.

That's only one account though. And he's obviously going to do what he can to make the 2j swap look more appealing than bothering with the VQ because he's the one doing the swap. Not all turbo VQs are running around with 600hp-700hp and need to be fully built either. And not everyone with a...

Been daily driving my Supra(s) for almost 5 years. 2 with 1j.

It will make more power and torque in NA form than a 2JZ-GE and can make more hp/tq with boost than a similar GTE. The VQ has also been on Ward's top 10 since '95.

Good start. A clean body is important. ;)

Supra 7mgte bhglol notacelica or any combination of the above. :biglaugh:
