eco's are VERY strong motors! stick w/ gm!
Just like a subie has "piston slap" because they lay flat? LOL Ive said it a million times anything can be fast the real question is how deep are your pockets? VQ anything is worthless with out boost pretty much same as anything else thats not big cube NA.
I bet that guy has **** ton of money in the VQ making 320whp. Not saying it cant be done at least a year ago I believe modified magazine had a 400hp VQ in a G35 that was NA. Massive heads, massive cam, and a holden intake I bet an ancient pushrod 3800 could come damn close to those #s. I will say again for the money yes anything small cubes needs boost. I bet easily the money thats into the VQ could have been spent on a turbo or SC setup and it'd make more HP for less. Same with the NA 3800. Also ever drove a massive head/cam NA car on the street? Their worthless. All comes down to what I said in the 1st place anything can be fast and make big HP even NA its a matter of how deep are your pockets??I know guys with the FWD VQ35 block hitting 270whp N/A with just bolt-ons in a 3,100 lbs car and they are running high 12s.
Hell we have a guy on the maxima forums with a stock bottom block, head and cam work up top who just pulled a 10s 1/4 mile pass N/A.
Someone just did a fully built NA VQ35 FWD and is hitting 320whp and he is still getting use to it and tweaking it, but he has pulled a 12.2 1/4 pass.
SO a VQ needs boost to be useful eh?
I love the LS motors and I agree that go big cube or go home, but i'm comparing v6 to v6 for now. I mean if you wanna drop a 4 cylinder in, go for an SR20 or something other than a Mitsu engine or QR25 (garbage POS motor)
How about a 2.0T from a VW, those things love boost? or a Diesel Grand Prix LOL?
Does GM even make a diesel small enough to fit? Dirtyprix lol these things cant handle TQ the way it is a Diesel would go through transmissions like well diesel lol.I'd rock a dirtyprix
Well would you look at that, noobs talkin about crankwalk. HA. It should also be noted that a "4g63" is NOT the same as a "4g63t".well the 7 bolts were more prone to crankwalk it was almost unheard of in the 1G 6 bolts. youre right though bio the 3800 is a stronger block. but i suppose if i ever did want to put a 4 banger in there id stick with the 4g63. best 4 banger ever in my opinion. though i suppose the LNF motor could be its rival.
