I know they are two different engines, and that the VQ is a lot better performance wise, but whats the diff b/t the 2? And i always hear people tlaking about how the VQ is an awsome engine, i can agreee, but why IS it so good? i jus wanna know more about the engine i have (VQ)

 

www.google.com is your friend

 

4 cams compared to 2

 

WHICH VG??? The VG30DE as it came in the Z32 na 300zx was 3.0 liters and 222 horses. 4 valver/twin cam VG.

 

so my maxima is SOHC!?!??!?!

 

Holy cripes. 134 posts and you don't know if your engine has 1 cam per head or 2 cams per head?

Read all the 4 gen faqs and the maxima.org faqs on the main page.

 

wow....nevermind im an idiot, its DOHC. well someone siad one has 4 cams and one has 2, and he said the VG has 4, so i figured the sohc was the VQ, but them i looked and i found out im an idiot

 

haha...all in good fun

 

The VQ is also 108 lbs lighter than the VG...thats why is revs up so much faster and alot smoother than the VG.
