Ive heard in various threads and track times large differences in pretty much the same statistical maxima but different performances were had. My question is taking all variables out of the equation ie. Driver, wind, temp. In theory everything is the same. Do you think both cars would perform the same. Or is there freak vq35de's out there?

Thoughts?

 

there are variable so no two engines will have the EXACT same numbers

 

Theres +1 for a freak vq35.

any other thoughts?

 

i didnt say it would be a freak engine. im saying its normal. but the difference would be very insignificant.

 

I can't imagine you could ever get two motors built even in the same plant one right after another to behave exactly the same, regardless of how strict QC and all are.

 

No you didnt, but you more or less agreed with me that the engines wouldnt be the same. From that you can conclude that there would freak engines that might put out more power then the average.

DUDE! It's true I swear! I measured! My engine isn't a 3.5L at all! it's actually 3.50000000029485L!!!

the extra displacement is good 50 whp. I dust allz YO azzes. yeeeah.

 

Thats cute, did you write that down on paper before you posted?

 

All engines aren't EXACTLY the same, there will be slight differences, but temperature, humidity, elevation, barometric pressure, tires, suspension, driver, track surface, etc. will make the the biggest difference. That's why all the big Supra drag meets are in Houston, it's at sea level, which makes for denser air, which makes for faster times.

 

also...parasitic low from the drivetrain and accessories will be different from car to car

 

are you asking about a complete running engine or 1 of the 1,000's of parts that goes into it?

machining and casting of various parts will vary slightly from time to time...and at rare ocations there with a aligning on the planets and all hte parts will fit so perfectly you might have a few extra horse.

 

There are tight tolerances on all VQ parts (don't have the specs, yes I know, I'm worthless), but...

My 3498cc > your 3500.00000029485cc.

 

I wondered where he pulled that number from.
