Spe-V vs WRX

[nismo_pilot]

makes just as much sense to throw a turbo on a motor that was not built for boost and then count the days until your rods snap and send your pistons to the moon, its a truck motor anyways (frontier), granted you CAN build a qr25 to handle boost, its not practical, cost of custom rods and pistons, block sleeving, crankshaft, cams and valve springs along with any other miscellaneous work plus the turbo kit and youve spent well over what you would have on a nice vq35 swap PLUS quite a few mods, if you have a need for speed, v6 swap is teh way to go

lol damn slideways, i dont think "owned" is even the word for that one

DUDE!!! that pic is nassstty... if I want to see a monkey doing it I would go to the ZOO......

Now how much abuse will that Spec tranny take with the VQ tuned? will it shread it ? Has this been proven .Is this going to be another SE-R problem with boosted engines? and has travis done R&D on the side of boosting the VQ and having the tranny stay together?? just some thought I had about this hybrid.. thanks..

can't argue with ignorant children. chances are your not going to rebuild a Vq for boost so why not save the cash for the new engine, buy a turbo kit and run faster times then you would with your Vq. I mean you can run 275whp on a qr25 with stock internals. thats more then you'll know how to handle. it's just that what you wanna do seems far fetched considering theres like one kid that did the swap so there isn't much experience with it. i mean shit if you got money to blow hell yea go build a Vq and dump it in there that is deffinatly the better set up. i never said a boosted Vq wasn't better. just unlikley. i mean i don't even know why i keep arguing with you go build it then tell me what its like i almost garantee i'll check this thread a yr from now and you won't have shit done.

riiiight, ill probably just trade it in on a knock off version of a real muscle car......

[nismo_pilot]

and b12, im not too familiar with the transmissions power threshold, as with any transmission youre probably going to want to shotpeen and cryo treat the internals to beef it up, if for nothing else just to keep it from crapping on you down the road, an NA vq35 probably shouldnt generate enough to wring off your input shaft or anything, but im sure it can handle 400 at least. And dave, chances are you never turboed your spec so why are you arguing theoretical points, just because im not going to do it means its not as good? that makes a lot of sense, how about instead of being mad that someone proved you wrong, try contributing something useful, like an idea for another swap maybe? or would being useful be too much for you? fact is that if you knew ANYTHING about the qr25 motor, you would know that nissan designed a sub-par crate engine that could be used cheaply in a bunch of different applications, if things would have went the way they SHOULD have gone we would have had the sr20ve...... swap DET rods and pistons and turbo it and you have a monster 4 cyl, if you want a turbo project, instead of fighting an uphill battle (qr25det) get a motor that will handle it (sr20 anything, vq35)

[nismo_pilot]

and you still refuse to believe that a turbo is more expensive per horsepower than the vq35 swap which makes you a noob, throw some slicks on that firebird and drift it in some snow somewhere where trees are abundant
