exactly! then we'll have to see how you do against my other car.

 

Explain this, other car....

 

I'm kind of just messing with you due to the fact that the other car isn't running just yet. It's a very light weight S13 coupe with a jdm VQ30DET in it. Hoping for 600-700 whp...

 

Well gimme a few months and Ill run that in my VQ3*HR-TT 72 510.........

 

 

pics or lie

 

LOL I am picking the car up in June and It is for sure going to happen. I will happily show pics. Anyways...

 

I believe you. I was just messing with you. lol

I've always wanted a 510... I can't wait to see your project!

Back on topic......

 

So with the new power the car has become very difficult to drive in the rain. I can barely get up hills in 4th gear doing 30-35. I know, 3rd is where I would normally be at but it just spins and spins. It still spins in 4th under barely any power. Stopping and starting on a hill? Huge problem. If someone is behind me, they are going to be sitting still for a bit while I try to get going without the tires spinning . I think it's time for a new daily driver

 

Sounds like you need new tires.
30-35? Jus thow much power do you think your making at that speed to cause the tires to spin so much?

 

LMAO!!

BTW, I live VERY close to brandon...

 

Yeah, but he is NOT a moron. The tires aren't to bad Flava, but my alignment is off. The alignment and pulley swap will most likely happen same day.
Zack

 

Well I wasnt stating that they were bad per say, but mainly that maybe they arent rated well for wet weather. What are they?

 

They are Falken tires. It could be the tires.

 

Well, the 3.5 liter finally had all it could take. I am going to have to take it apart to find out the exact problem but I am sure it is one or more rod bearings and or the rods themselves. If I did spin a rod bearing or crack a rod I will just build it up and possibly run nitrous instead of the methanol injection.
Zack

 

Nitrous instead of methanol???

 

Why not push it harder if it is built?

 

Details please. The more I read about the vq35 the more it seems they are sensitive to boost unless they are built. I know they are good engines but they seem to be breaking alot on the org and on my350.com if they see anywhere near double digit boost numbers.

 

true...

 

Basically, I am getting this super loud knocking noise. It gets louder as the motor revs up higher. My air fuel started to go a little lean and I got distracted and missed third after driving the car pretty hard all night and the car was just much slower (I kept going because I couldnt hear the noise at first) before I let off. The car later died on me while I was idleing and I had to get a jump because the battery was dead. Right as I pulled into my neighborhood my battery light starting flickering on. I parked it and tried to start it this morning and it turned right on. Anyways, here are the links to the parts for the engine build:
Concept Z Link 1
Concept Z Link 2
Rod Bearings
Valves And Camshafts
I am curious, I do not know much about aftermarket rod bearings for the VQ35DE's. Can someone tell me if one of those two brands, or another brand, is the best? I must say I have never done this kind of engine work before. Also, I haven't decided yet if I am going to buy the stainless steel valves, springs, and retainers; would these be worth the time and money? As far as the camshafts go, the only camshafts I can find are atleast $1100. It sucks that Debuloz cams aren't available anymore. I was thinking if I bought the valves, springs, and retainers from Brian Crower I may as well buy their brand camshafts since they are all made by the same company, but maybe I am completely wrong. The last question is about the pistons. If I went with the 96mm pistons would it be worth it? I am guessing that would require some boring to fit them. Will I need to get the block honed as well, whether I use the 95.5mm or the 96mm pistons? I am sorry for all theses questions, I am new to major internal work. I am going to try and do a FULL write up for building the VQ35 with the parts I plan on using. Any opinions or answers would be greatly appreciated.
Zack


Oh yeah, I will most likely install a new dynotune nitrous kit once the motor is broken in . Hopefully that will help me reach my 500whp goal for this car.

 

Watch it Zack, you've been called a moron too and usually by better people.

The plasma thing was a joke I started, not something that really happened or is going to happen.

 

Do more research before you start buying parts. $1100 for cams? Crazy unless your going for Cosworth stuff. http://www.injectedperformance.com/e...t.aspx?ID=7512

Great deals out there on everything right now, especially with the economy the way it is. Have patience, and you'll save $$$$.

 

It was only a joke? You know I wouldn't actually talk **** about him. I am truely sorry if I offended either of you. I changed the previous post.

I don't want to spend alot on cams, but I want that savage lope at idle . Maybe the Brian Crower Stage 3 cams with springs and retainers would be a good choice?

 

Hows it going? I drive by your house almost everyday. lol

I totally thought that the plasma thing was just a joke and I also thought that it was funny as hell.....

 

Oh Forrest, you're so silly... ...er wait a sec... - Random postwhoring brought to you by the makers of "Log".

Zack, your alternator quit and your motor is knocking? what the hell did you do?

S

 

I think I have pretty much decided on parts and I have found some good deals. I just can't decide if I should go ahead and buy the Brian Crower stainless steel valves or if I should just use the stock valves. I am going to get the valve springs/retainer set and most likely the stage 2 Brian Crower camshafts. Kzoosho, any news on my350z.com? I could really use their site right about now lol.
Zack

 

Well, I have decided to go a different path with the car. I decided that the supercharger will not yeild enough power to keep me happy. I have a buddy who is going to help me put together the piping for a turbo kit. I will start a new build thread for the engine and turbo build. Thanks to everyone for the help and feedback! I will start the new thread soon.

sell the maxima, and get something rwd and then enjoy ur power

 

I'm not done with her yet Will. You will see why soon.....

 

i wish you luck man, i only put down 330 o the wheels and i slide wideways across 3 lanes of traffic today in light rain and i must say its way more fun then any time i had im my max.

i think you are in need of a c6 vette... zack join me on the dark side of tq

 

I am planning on making plenty of torque. Just wait and see. I don't want to post up a bunch of stuff when I haven't fully decided on the brand/size turbo but it will have to be big.

 

gt35r its the turbo of choice for this application

 

GT3567R Perhaps...

 

Yes. Build that motor!! Rods and Rod Bolts a must
