Yeah I know but I'm not about to strip my precious interior... It has around 50-60 hp/liter right? That's about the same as a viper, a lowly 2 valve per cylinder V10 truck engine, now I'd prefer to have a higher power level than a viper, I mean, having a smaller engine should make a difference.

What mods should I go?

 

Oh with a 3 liter putting out 160, that is 53 per liter. Whatever with the hp per liter, I just want more overall output.

 

The thread started about VGs.. so keep this thread VG.. (not that I didn't help on the VE tangent.. )

If you want to talk about VEs, then start another thread.

 

Dude your talking ricer talk again. STFU get out my thread.

To edumacate you, The VG will get a little power from usual bolt ons. Other then that its a $2000-$6000 buildup depending on how crazy you want to get. That includes building a NA VG (look for the 3.4L 250HP VG thead 3-4 pages back) or turboing it. Read the Fing stickies, ALL, yes ALL the info you need is linked in. Dont find what you want? Reread them and search google. Dont post retarted Q's.

As for me, Looks like either option is killed. I gotta pick up this 73 240Z and work on it. Z>Max Turbo max, later.

power per liter is only talk. what matters is power/weight and acceleration numbers.
so what if the viper "only" has 56hp/liter. it also has EIGHT LITERS of displacement and makes 450hp straight from the factory.
the car weighs the same as a Maxima- about 3400lb, yet has almost three times the HP as the Maxima.
0-60 acceleration is 4.0 sec, compared to the VG Maxima's 8.0 seconds
1/4mile is 12.2s for the viper and 16.3s for the VG Maxima.


those are the numbers you need to look at. screw HP/liter, screw redline. screw final drive ratio. screw 'technology replaces displacement'.

 

Plus I will add that if you use the same "technology' on the Viper motor you can get really outrageous. At the Viper/Supra shootout this summer the highest horsepower car was a twin turbo'd Viper, at well over 1300hp.

Like Matt said "screw technology replaces displacement" and use the old cliche'
"there is no replacement for displacement"

 

510 hp 8.5 liters 3380lbs

There is no replacement for displacement

 

I was quoting specs from the original Viper RT/10.

 

figured that, mine are from the current one.

 

I coulda swore the new Viper stayed at 8.3 liters

 

alex, whatever you do, youll probably continue to want more power. my bet is to sink money into a different car. hehe

 

Thats why Im dumping this project and hopefully getting a 240Z.

I'm in the same boat...I want MORE POWER!!! I have begun my research which will result in the purchase of a C4 Corvette next spring. I could do it sooner, but I want to hold on to my Max.

 

I drove past a dealer yesterday with an 84 vette convertible for sale

 

OMG guys, Maxima for life!!!!














Or until I can get a nice RWD G35

 

I know we're getting off topic, but 84 vette=crossfire injection=200hp=teh sucks...85-91=tuned port injection=240hp

 

200hp
it was 205 allegedly.
