hey man,
glad to hear you got the gtech and have been riding around with the new engine.
quick question...
wouldn't you want to lower your compression some more so that you can add more boost?
what compression are vg30et or vg30dett engines at(stock)?

just curious....

da-max, i feel you, man. i think there will always be the VG v.

well, there's that n/a 300 hp vg30e engine which would easily put a maxima past the 15.3 second mark lol. downside is that engine costs over 8,000 dollars. at least one can be built.

and the reason that people downplay the VG so much is because they only think of them being in heavy *** street driven Maixmas....slap that Heikman(sp?) motor in a stripped down 510 or somehting to that fact and watch what happens

then it'll be worth every bit of $8k(though you could probably find another "mom and pops" nissan builder to do it for little less)

yeah, that would be one sweet car! still, there's no replacement for... boost, lol. forced induction is the the easiest possible way to gain lots of power. plus, forced induction engines make nifty noises
