Is flooring it from a roll bad for the engine? And if so, how bad is it; what can happen if I do so often (2-3 times a week)? What can be damaged?

 

no... unless you do it all the time for a long time and never let it rest... or if there is something wrong (oil needs changing, coolant problem, etc...)

 

If it's bad, then my engines hates me to death ....

I do it 4-5x/day..

 

just remember... smooth motions.
don't just stomp the pedal. push the pedal to the floor in a controlled motion

 

Most engine wear occurs when people start their cars in the middle of the winter and immediately proceed to rev the crap out of it.

Flooring it at normal temperature if you maintain it well doesn't seem to have much effect. I have 250 timeslips this year alone and the engine doesn't seem to mind at all. I also love 2nd gear WOT runs.

 

I stomp the holy fark out of my right pedal

Thanks guys (and gals?). I know someone that says he never floors his car because its bad for the engine and I really had no idea. Thanks.

 

once you dont hit the pedal all the way and let go and hit it again, if your auto it could put some wear on the mounts

neways i do it all the time, i love torq steer :;:

 

No further comments needed.

 

hell when i had my GST while cruising at say 30mph and somone pulls up and wants to go from a roll id push in the clutch and either hold it at 7K or sit there holding it to the floor bouncing off the limiter at 7500rpm to build some boost and take off from that 30mph roll in 2nd gear it was great fun!!

 

only if its stone cold

 

At least 4-5 times a day.

Full throttle is just too much fun not to enjoy.

 

That guy sucks.

 

I would argue that it's good for you engine. Keeps her clean. Our engines don't have enough power to self-destruct.

 

unlike Joosdawgs eclipse where you have to becareful not to blow the motor...or turbo...or bottom end...or throw out bearing.... lol

 

a$$hole lol its just as strong as the VQ when treated right and alot faster for cheaper

 

holy crap, Im gonna take full potential of this motor everyday now from the posts Ive read! but again paying for gas is

 

strong?? lol atleast our motors dont blow as fast...btw i think you got some 10w-30 in your turbo housing


lol too bad we dont crank walk or have piston slap...then again 7bolt ows u

 

Going WOT (wide-open throttle) is not bad for your engine. If you want to be nice to your engine, though, let it warm up fully (so the needle in the temperature gauge is in the middle) and then you can take off. I probably go WOT 5-10x a day, it's almost impossible not to..

 

Don't come in here yacking and complaining about how poor your gas mileage is. Going WOT all the time kills it.

 

sounds kinda like that auto you call a transmission lol. at least i have airbags

 

My car loves WOT. He begs for it sometimes. I don't do it that much though because I don't want to attract attention from the fuzz with my loud exhaust. I do love the sound of that intake though

 

lol i got the jdm ones...more weight reduction

 

I think joosdawg is ranting on autos because he spends all his time at autozone fixing his DSM



























just joking

 

dont joke its true...lol

ask him about his gauges

 

hehehe whats up with the gauges

 

they tell time, since dsms dont boost high..there not necessary but he has alot.. he has guages for every time zone

 

yea mechanics got tired of all the TIME they spent fixing the dam car

 

this is great

 

yea wait till we get banned

 

oh yea I totally forgot

 

give me my old 300ZX back and I'd wipe the floor with your DSM... and it would STILL be more reliable! Ha! Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti Forever!

the Z finally died at 296,432 miles, god rest her soul.

 

jesus dude ill give you that one speaking of which anyone want a awsome reliable 4th gen? look in sig hehehe

 

doesnt look to reliable to me..this on the otherhand



is

 

you guys gotta be kidding me!! If you want something reliable then check out my sig.

 

thats not what your mechanic told me yesterday

 

Only bad thing is that the fuel guage goes down.

 

hahaha, I got it back today, and the beast is back alive!!!!!!!!!!once again!!!!!

 

all that was needed was replace the fuel injector with new one, replace oil cuz gas was in there. and replace oil again in a week to clean out system.

 

well thats not to bad then, now u can shuv it in those guys face that said you suck for flooring it to test lol
