And whats wrong with a chevy engine in a 240? Im also a diehard nissan fan, but I wouldnt mine an LS-1 in my 240...with minimal mods, youll hit low 11s or even tens Fight muscle, with muscle, get it?

 

There is nothing wrong with a chevy okay. And no I'm not running no drag racing. Just hillclimbs and autocross. ALot of people have chevys and I'm just a nissan fan. What makes you think I can not beat a chevy? Thats my goal is to beat a chevy and ford to. Did I pick the wrong car for that. I don't think so. The 240 are alot lighter. Yes they came under powered from Japan but alot can be done to make them vary fast. So go Nissan.

 

To beat a chevy or ford is easy, if your not drag racing.

Focus on making your car light weight and beef up the suspension.

 

Listen to him hes making a valid point...

 

power to weight ratio is what's going to win autocross in addition to a good driver. you don'
t need a lot of horse power so i suggest build you KA for all motor and have a responsive beast. if you want boost then the SR is going to be your best bet for auto cross.

 

Are you kidding me? VQ is weak!?!? where the hell are you getting your info from? They already have a Z running low 8's with a VQ, people making over 400whp on a bone stock motor with a bolt on turbo kit. VQ is a damn good motor, you should go do some more research.

 

^ i did.

Yes VQ is weak. low 8 Z maybe with a VG or a built to hell VQ. Then its no longer stock, ***.

Guys you use greddy turbo kit often buy pistons and rod right after because they pop there engine.

Wait you live in oregon so you must be right.

Reading sport compact car doesnt make you a genius.

 

VQ is not meant for boost. that doesn't mean it's weak. last time i checked it kept up with ls1's with only a chip and tuning.

 

HA, no reading sport compact car doesn't make anyone a genuis, but since I have an 05 G35 coupe sitting in my garage, worked at a Nissan performance shop for a over a year and half, been working on and around nissans since I was 14, and have talked with plenty of people building/tuning VQ's, does make me a bit more inclined to be able to call BS and tell you, you're wrong. The Z was running a built VQ. Go over to G35driver.com and my350z and go make your claim on how weak the VQ is, see what kind of responses you get, ***.

one more thing, wtf does my location have anything to do with how much I may or may not know about cars? Does it make it any different being that I grew up in AZ? Or that I was born in Minnesota? Does that make it easier for you to judge my knowledge on cars dick head?

 

Its weak mechanically....sure it has horsepower but if you push it with FI or Nitrous...it will blow. Same with every engine...its just the VQ is prone to do it more.

 

So weak that stock VQ's have done up to 525whp on stock motors, SR's have been tuned for YEARS and they've maxxed out at just over 560whp. Hmm, man the VQ just screams weak. Bigger displacement, has gone faster already than any SR powered car that resembles in any way a street car, it just blows.

 

525WHP for how long buddy? A few runs and that things done...thats a promise. And why the hell are your comparing an SR to a VQ? Stupid...Those are two different displacements and the VQ has two more cylinders...Lets compare RB to VQ shall we?

 

I'm comparing SR to VQ because he's talking about swapping it into a 240. Who's stupid here, you're saying that for a motor that has been out for no more than 5 years, making over 500whp on stock internals, is weak? How long did it take SR's to do that, RB's, even 2JZ's. You saying it's weak is an ignorant statement and you know it is. You want to tell the motor will blow after a few runs at 525whp? Prove it, have you done one, has it blown up after a few runs? What setup did you use to make that power and what gave out? It'll last just fine at 525whp, how often do you think a person will be railing the **** out of their car making that much power, how much boost do you think it'll take for it to make that power, on how conservative of a tune? My guess is you dont' know **** nor have you been around enough performance cars that actually make big HP to know how ignorant that statement was.

 

Ummm....where in this thread does it say he was thining of swapping an SR? YOUR making yourself look like a dumbass for argueing with me on the net. And have YOU ran over 500 horsepower in a VQ? Ok then...Dont talk either cause you havent. Prove me wrong, dont touch the internals and run a TT on your G35...Bump the boost up and we'll see how long it lasts. Im done with you...Theres no convincing your ignorant ***...peace.

 

No, you're running away because you have no basis for your argument other than what you might have heard. No I haven't made that much power but I'm not making a claim that it'll blow am I, unfortunately the person making the claim has the burden of proof, you have no proof therefor you have no sound argument, and you look like an ***. So who's ignorant? I again say you, you can't see why I would mention an SR? He's asking about swapping a VQ into a 240, what other motors coudl I compare it to that might be swapped into a 240? Hmmm, lets see, an SR, no that'd just be stupid
