What makes a 5th gen a 5.5 Gen?

 

a 3.5 engine (02/03) instead of 3.0 (00/02)

 

Told ya it was a dumb qustion...

thanks

 

Grille/tails/rims

 

but the ".5" comes from the engine. thats what he was talking about

 

Jason do you mean 00/01?

If not I want a 02 with the 3.0

 

In all honesty, I wouldn't mind one too.... 02 with all the options and a VQ30 that can be SCed...

 

I thought the ".5" referred to the sum of all changes made to the Max for 2002, including engine, 6spd manual, and all interior/exterior cosmetic changes.

 

Why would you want the VQ30 instead of the 35? I'm serious here, not just being a smartass. I really want to know.

 

Cuz ya can't SC a 3.5.... I know SSR is working on a TC kit for us... but turbo stuff is a little beyond me....

 

Huh. I didn't know that. Why can't you SC a 3.5? Just how it's laid out and such?

 

Well I guess technically, ya could, if ya knew how to build a custom one and squeeze it in there... I doubt anyone has tried it and there's gotta be a good reason... I know pimpjuice had a custom TC set-up...

Anyways, I shoulda mentioned that I was talking about pre-fabbed kits... the Stillen one won't work with a 3.5.... and I don't have the time or money to look into anything custom at this point... might just wait for the SSR turbo kit, if I can learn how those things work by then... big "IF" though.... cuz its definitely not plug n play... plus if the car is a daily driver, SCs are a better way to go....

 

I think just because no company makes a SC kit for 3.5

Edit: Quick fingers Puppetmaster

 

Yep, turbo would be sweet.

Stop editing..

Yeah, I would prefer a SC though.........then get another one and turbo it.

 

Not exactly... just quick DSL...

 

Haha... me too... maybe I'll save up some cash now for a SCed 5th Gen and get the SSR kit down the road when I finally get the know-how on turbos...

Dream on...

I think I'll just follow the yellow brick road down to NC sometime to see the VQ Wizard and learn a thing or 2 about N/A applications.... there's much I can do there w/o getting into the whole FI thing...

 

I think my heated steering wheel is all that makes the difference to me. I use that thing religiously...

 

Yeah Matt's cool. We hang out on a regular basis, him and blubyu2k2....and I can definately say I learn alot. I haven't even started ringing out the rag yet NA. On my way, just takes time + money.

 

quick cable...not DSL...

 

I know what ya mean... I'm not saying I know much N/A yet either... just getting hp greedy...

I have a long way to go too...

At least ya have rims...

 

.....

 

Thanks, I'm gonna have to wrap diapers around them cause they cost me to much to get scratched up.

 

I guess since there were sublte changes, besides the engine we could call the 97-99 the 4.5g.

T1 . . .

 

Makes sense to me.

 

thats what i thought too...
