I hate this, I thought it was going to be a car that can actually turn a corner.....turning a perfectly good car into a tool to go in a straight line fast is such a waste.
SR20's, RB's and 2JZ's are engines of the 90's time to move on the new best things are VQ's if you like V6's and LS engines if you like V8's, even for my 240sx I dont care for those old boosted inline 4's, I going with LS1
@Gred922 I like the turboed v8 in a 350... and I do know the owner of this car... it's a fast car... but I'm a 2JZ man so I would swap a 2JZ into 350... but I did swap a 2JZ into a 240... lighter body than 350 or supra...
@Gred922 More potential? Define potential? I don't know what planet you're from but there is no replacement for displacement. an LS2has twice the the displacement of the inline 6 you referred to
Materials used in engines are actually limit of power potencial not displacement. Engineering is not simple as you think. Also 2JZ BLOCK stoked to 3.4L still holds record for most powerful straight 6 engine (aftermarket built) in Australia made by GAS Motorsport produced 2000 hp at flywheel. LS2 is good, engine but getting into 2000 hp range isnt simple. Also, LS3/LS7 engines are much much better from stock
@2jzgtejza80 STFU dude. you don't know shit if you think an LS3 or LS7 is anything more capable than an LS2. Yeah, i'm sure that it is a lot more SIMPLE to get that inline 6 to make 2000hp, then it is tomake it with an LSX motor!!! not to mention, the LS motor stuff is pleniful and they're cheap to build.
Buddy you are far from engineering, stop making a fool of yourself. LS7 and LS9 are engines totally different from factory (in terms of internal parts). I was talking about stock vs. stock. Even GM engineers claimed 800bhp safe on all stock LS9, stock fuel pumps and injectors are made for that like in LS7 (ZO6). I know what means power up, it's not easily, you need very good tuner to do this safetly and reliable in same time. I suggest you to learn more about this.
Man, I know that the 350Z engine bay isn't that spacious. Good job putting in that gigantic motor inside that thing.
Being a ex-G35 owner and driven many Zs. It tends to understeer pretty easilly as it is, I'm pretty sure that car's going to be used for more of a drag/drift application though.
@Gred922 I think people that are into imports get to hung up on sertion engines. If you want it swap it...who gives a ish if its jdm or dsm...and 2jz vs lsx motors it depends who builds it...2jz is idk 3.4 might be wrong but lsx 6.1...more ci easier to extract power!
Many things depends on high powered applications. Just example: Stock Toyota Supra with Twin Turbo produce 320 bhp, ok, than LS1 produce 350bhp, while LS2 400bhp. OK. LS1 and LS2 coming from GM factory without Turbos. 2JZ coming from factory with 2 turbos. Much easier is change boost on Supra engine to produce 450 bhp, than installing whole turbocharging system on LS2 which cost double more than on 2JZ. There is the difference.
@2jzgtejza80 more wiring to do with a 2jz= more work...you can get more power out of a lsx with out turboing...for instance cam, heads exhaust etc etc....
@2jzgtejza80 what an idot. lol. changing boost 'at' a 2jz is 30min of work? let me guess, no need for a tune, or supporting mods to provide fuelingfor that additional air your moving? you have no idea. And it takes $2000 to get an LS1 to make 450hp? sure. I built fully built my LS2 from oil pan to valve covers for well under $4500 and it will be 1500hp capable.So theres no need to tune a supercharger setup? god, if you don't know what your talking about, just don't even talk.
You dont know nothing from your post. You sounds like teenage kid. I had a Supra, and I know well potencial of my car. Stock Supra (stock fuel pump designed up to v.h.flow up to 450bhp, like stock 450cc injectors, ECU -stock with new fuel map added). Internal can hold up 500bhp safetly. After that 420 bhp was ready. What part you dont understand. Having factory turbo system gives huge advantage over NA. Cheaper power up, and usually faster.
@2jzgtejza80 so according to you, i can just slap a supercharger on my LS2, and no need to tune it huh?... cause that will be cheaper than 'tuning' a naturally aspirated engine. I'd love to know whereyou can find a good centrifugal blower for $1000, lol. first of all, a 'good' centrifugal doesn't exist. they're garbage and make shitty power. you do realize that you cant just bolt the supercharger unit on and make more power, right?
I never said LS1/LS2 are shit engines, but they have 99% cast internals, compared to all-forged in LS7/LS9/LSA(ZL1). Centrifugal SC's are not popular, but they have some good advantages. For smaller engines they are good, and cost little more over 1000$, and can give 200bhp power up without problems. I saw many installed systems and they work fine in Silvia, S2000, Integra, even in Skyline GTT and Pontiac GTO.
lol ok. centrifugals blow even more nut sack on a smaller engine. they have a worse power band than my 91mm turbo on my stock longblock 4.6. I don't know where you get the idea that it will cost anywhere near $1000. It would cost you nearly that much to run a fuel system adequate to keep up with the extra air your moving. so i guess i can take a stock integra making 140hp, and throw a centrifugal on there and make 340hp and never worry about it. sounds about right
Well i see you never worked with C-SC, basic SC (centrifugal), cost 800-1200 $ alone, able press over 10psi of air, Whole kit for Honda Integra and S2000 cost less than 2000$, and you can get 50% power up, on all stock parts. S2000 injectors are designed to handle over 300bhp, while Integra K20A's even more (Ariel Atom example).
Of course kit for V8 like Mustang, Camaro, Corvette cost at least 4000$. Well, that's still cheaper than installing Turbo kit on Corvette.
@reapermca Honestly, my only guess is that man people don't write accurate descriptions on their own videos and just assume others don't as well. Also, I think some people are just lazy too. Either way I wish more people would read the description.
why would you put a 2jz into a z, i know 1 person who did it, and nissan people hated him and toyota people hated him, dont you people know that the supra and z were rivals lol
@Gred922 ls2's are more responsive and twice the displacement of a 2jz. while i love the 2jz, an ls motor is superior. if you want to argue that its iron vs. aluminum, just swap in an lq9 block.
2jz swaps are also much more involving that an ls swap into a 350z. a swap kit is very minimal for the ls vs 2jz. not to mention cost.
@boostin350z When I had just boltsons I hve raced an LS7 was not impressed what so ever. 60k car vs my TT conversion BPU Let me know the LS is over rated
@VQ35S14 This isn't my car so it doesn't really matter what other people say about it but has a hot cam with open headers...just because it sounds this way doesn't mean it's barely holding idle. Currently this car is turbocharged and runs in the low to mid 10's for the quarter mile. I'd say this car is far from being gay.
@VQ35S14 my vq sounded like shit too when i had it off the headers. it needs an exhaust but is an overall much better swap than a vq. im ditching my built tt vq for a built single turbo ls1. ls>vq
@boostin350z Ihve never been impressedby the LS1 depite popular belief they cannot handle more power stock than my VG they need to be rebuilt as well. The lq9 only makes 350hp stock after cam intake exhaust and tune you are only at 425hp ad a sts kit and yes you can get 550 but that is also 9k later and 10psi is the limit until full rebuild. Yes if you are talking abt the extreme limits then a v-8 can extreme great numbers. But in the realm of 400whp to 700whp do not see the point
@DVcustomZ im not really talking about stock here. while a stock ls1 can handle much more abuse than a vq can, when built, ive seen much more success with a built lsx than a built vq. having a built vq myself, i can say i will be relieved to swap in a much more simple motor. ive dumped alot of money into my z, n/a, stock block turbo, and built tt, and im much more impressed with what i've seen out of the ls block. just my opinion.
@boostin350z I guess the big difference is I am talking VG as opposed to VQ. Unlessyour power goal is over 1000whpI do not get the infatuation. The main problem I see with Z33 members R they think spendingmoney and getting performancego hand in hand. My friend has a 14k built Z33 from Z1 motorsports that could not beat me when I had Bolt ons. Most Street cars are less than 800whp which means that no matter the platform a full build is needed.
@VQ35S14 i think you crazy to say something like ' so gay it barely idles' . for someone to say something like that must not know a dam thingg about a good sounding cam in a V8 when they hear one. this car sounds awesome, i cant wait for all may parts get in so i can start my swap.

@VQ35S14 your really asking that? First off american engines=big power STOCK, that paired with a light-weight japanese chassis (350z isnt really lightweight but speaking for other chassis that they swap)= Fast as fuck. As with the "idle issue" it has a high-loped cam in it retard, it idles fine.
American engines are bigger than Japanese or European is term of displacement. Next. American engines doesn't produce big power compared to European or Japanese engines in NA or forced induction trim.
World record book: Most powerful production naturally aspirated GM engine is LS7(500+hp) and VIper ACR(600hp) engine. Most powerful European is from 660-750 all over to 860hp. Japanese is 552hp.
See, American engines = higher torque, good price.
@2jzgtejza80 exactly. big power in stock form. No one is going to buy that engine because itll rape your wallet. An ls motor wont break anything and its a great motor, and easy to find.
In US it's much cheaper, better to maintain and easy to find the GM LS series of engines than in Europe or Japan. From experience, I can tell you, GM engines are expensive compared to European and taxes are very very big. See, used LS1, LS2 is about 8,500-10,000 euros, while Toyota 1UZ V8 is less than 5000 euros, even BMW M3 S60 engine is cheaper. LS7 is 15,000-17,000 euros
@2jzgtejza80 Honestly, at times I think Japanese motors should be left out in terms of power. Considerding Japanese automakers has the "Gentlemen's Rule" which is an agreement between Japanese automakers that they would produce cars within the 280hp range. So they focus more on balance. Of course some cars aren't bound within 280hp, but most of them are.. reason why they don't bother in making big displacement engines.
LS series motors are my favorite American made V8s though.
Not just favorite, LS series are best pushrod (OHV) motors ever made. Using newer technology they improve efficient. Japanese car manufacturers are these days far from performance cars. In 80's and until early years of 21st century they are producing very good high quality cars. Now, Germans and Europa overall are again on top of the world.
@2jzgtejza80 But when you look into formula cars, Acura/Honda does a good job of making high powered engines. And they win, and in terms of handling and balance, it's not as good as Porsche. But S2K, Evo X especially does a good job. Evo X broke 1.1g with stock tires and suspension, and it's rate for .99g on the skippad. Not sure how many front engine application cars can break 1.1g, and AWD is supposed to be notorious for understeer through track use. But with the Xs S-AYC it's been eliminated
EVO X can handle more G, thanks to lots of electronics like Nissan GT-R. I prefer older Jap cars.
You are right, Porsche is 2 leagues over Jap sport cars, like price said. It's obviously that 130,000 euros GT3 RS wins against most powerful EVO X MR FQ400 which cost just 50,000 euros.
@2jzgtejza80 I wouldn't compare the Evo X FQ400 with the GT3 RS, considering that it'll beat the GT-R.. and like you said about how much of a price difference there is. But I'm curious how this year's GT-R will do, the numbers have improved a LOT from the other R35s.
And I enjoy older Japanese cars too. I have a 240SX S14, kind of want a S13 though. If I can find a really good 280Z Fairlady in the market, I'll be looking into that as well.
@DVcustomZ Hey asshole, show me a car that makes 733whp on pump gas, drives to and from the track, runs 10.8@138(on stock suspension) and is daily driven AND gets 33mpg on the highway. Do you even own a car? Or are you just another poor hating douche bag that can't afford anything just feel like hating?
@Gred922 First, this isn't my car. Second, the LS2 has plenty of aftermarket support and the swap into the 350Z is much easier than swapping in a 2JZGTE. As of now this car is turbocharged and there are plenty of videos out there of it.
yeah apples to oranges..3.5l v6 to that double sized v8...what about the chevy v6 engine its 3.8l at 200hp,,compared to 3.5l nissan v6..weak as hell thats apples to apples..
@E5Ridez you mean the BRAND NEW chevy v6 in the NEW 2010 camero... the nissan 3.5 vq motor has been out since 2002 and in the Z as a 2003 model yr..almost 10 years to catch up..back in 2002 chevy had the 200 hp 3.8l v6..now days its about efficient compact low weight engines producing excellent power to displacment ratio..
@trugemini6382 You have to think about it this way tho, chevy never needed to make a performance v6 until now, so it never botherd with it, it's always been a v8 performance car or 4 cylender or v6 Eco car manufacturer, just because they never made a powerful v6 didn't meant that they couldent do it, see what I'm saying, so saying that it's dumb that Nissan has a v6 with 278 bhp and Chevys only makes 200bhp is irrelivent since each engine has a different purpose
For example, the 2002 camaro had a weak, large v6, because anyone in the market for a performance camaro was going to buy the v8, they were afordable and gas was cheap then and there was no ressesion at the time, the v6 existed purely to boost sales for the people that wanted a camaro cuz they liked the car, there was no market for a performance v6 from gm, so why make one
@trugemini6382 Actually you're wrong...the VQ motor came out in 1992....(though not in the US market till 1995, in the maxima. It's first application as a 3.5L was in the 2001 pathfinder...still an amazingly versatile engine...been in production nearly 20 years now.
Today however, v8 performance cars are becomeing less acessable to the average consumer due to finatual constructions like the economy and fuel costs, for gm to stay competitive and not lose sales to the Asian and European companys, they needed to make a performance oriented alternative to their v8 engines to maintain sales, like I said, just because they didn't make big power v6 engines in the past, didn't mean that they couldent
Where is this car from? I saw one EXACTLY like this at Lebanon Valley drag strip. The owner did a very nice job on the motor swap, i believe it was running mid 11's.
and I followed this swap on LS1tech when transam did it and this swap is BY FAR cheap OR easy. You ever heard of a little company called Hinson supercars? You got 20k to drop on a motor and tranny swap and still not have all the bugs ironed out for that amount of cash? I don't think your s/c'd VQ vagina packing Z is worth 20k. You need a life and a real perspective outlook change on LS based motors buddy.
tylerxfire you a dousche and have no fucking idea what your talking about that LS2 makes more power than your 6 cylinder Nismo motor in all rpm bands low or high. You'll need a lot more than your Vortech supercharger to beat a H/C LS1 in a Camaro let alone a lighter 350z. Good day...
@S10sittnonRVM22s Look, Finally someone who has some brains. Thank you. This car with just a cam would tear that car a new asshole. Check the more recent videos with the turbo.
@Ven0m03 With the motor swap it still has less power than most 300z's so that a F on this swap. After you factor in cost of motor, wiring, tune, and all the misc stuff for a swap it wld hve been cheaper to just build the VQ. 10grand in a 500whp w/N02 swap awesome decision that is what my Z32 did stock w/bolt ons
@DVcustomZ Lol, he did this to be different, not like everyone else. and he had the vq with a turbo and it was slower then this stock LS2 with a cam. 10 grand in a vq and make 600 or 10 grand in a ls and make 750 on stock bottom end? do the math.
@Ven0m03 Actually 10k gets you 1000hp VQ you do the math. A stock Ls2 is only 400 crank sell that crap to the honda boys I hve been in or built most variation of import and domestic I am currently doing an LS2 swap into a colorado I know cost of builds so go jerk somebody else off with your internet facts.
@DVcustomZ really? 10k into a vq to get 1000+hp? i think you mean 10k gets you a block that can support 1000+HP. ADD IN ANOTHER 10K for the turbo setup and supporting mods. ask me how i know.
@boostin350z I hve always been a bigger fan of the VG it is stronger in better even with the smaller displacement. If u built it yourself it would not take nearly that much money. For 60k I could hve 3 1000hp Z's
@boostin350z Nothing against the LS but I do not see swapping in a run ofthemill power plant I view it as lack of imagination or ability. If I get my wife a vette then yeah I will build it up but I. I It seems like a cop out (coming from the guy putting a 2JZ in a 240sx) but to each his own. I keep JDM, jdm Domestic, domestic. Although I considered putting an SRT-10 motor in a 280z but that would be different.
@DVcustomZ thats vlads, and he has over 60k in the car. its also on a th400, even though our z's trans is incredibly stout, possibly more so than the t56
@DVcustomZ Hey asshole, show me a car that makes 733whp on pump gas, drives to and from the track, runs 10.8@138(on stock suspension) and is daily driven AND gets 33mpg on the highway. Do you even own a car? Or are you just another poor hating douche bag that can't afford anything just feel like hating?
@TheRealSnyper I would gladly line MY 190 cu in Z up against your swap are you in GA. I hve already lined up against boosted C6's so your car is just another car to me. But you are running close #'s that I am but I hve a total of 10k in my car including cosmetic and buying the car where your swap and build up cost over 15k. You got me by 84 whp but w/4.10 gears that will mke it fun. I doubt 33mpg unless u R counting 6th gear the whole time and you hve really low CR
Fully built auto supra ran 10.2 at 140. Beaten. A built 5.0 procharged 10.8 car. Beaten. car has beaten about 6 10 sec cars by 3-5 cars each. Minimal mods to the ls2.
anybody can say anything beat anything, now prove it by posting vids of these kills! lol @ pulling on 10 second cars by 3-5 cars each, then what the hell does this Z do in the 1/4.
cool, but has been done quite a few times now....im not a fan of it since its not a nissan motor, i would do a titan swap if i were to do a v8, it has potential though and ls2 is such a common motor so there are a ton of parts, but everyone does a ls2
Yeah, I've seen a few online but never in person. Like I said before, I have to give credit where credit is due because if it was me I would have built the Nissan VQ instead of an engine swap.
i hear ya...its cool and all and will def. go very good, but honestly i see no point in going away from the vq..i mean this is the car on here that went 12.1 @113 with the slicks on..my vortech still on stock injectors stock block everything with just a complete vortech kit at 8.5psi ran 12.0@115 with plenty of potential to go, and then look at the tt kits putting up huge numbers and very fast..idk cool and props but why stray from the cars heritage
haha change that to 11.6@117...nothing changed sept the 02s and AFR, My WOT AFR was 10.1 which is why the car was running like shit.. Show me one NA VQ to do this. This is why I strayed away from the weak VQ platform. Intense powers 700+hp G35 went 11.0 FULLY built. Thats sad. Im almost there and will pass that on a stock bottom end/nitrous
the tune is all in the timing as far as 10.1 at wot...vq platform is a 6cyl platform and not exactly weak by any means and u are comparing apples and oranges with a 6 3.5 liter vs. a ls2 8cyl., also 11.0 is not very sad and very different from a 11.6..nitrous on a ls2 in a 350z i would hope it would be as fast as a vq with a little boost in case u havent notice but there are also vq's in the 9's..its all in what u wanna spend and what its for..the z is not a quarter mile car
No it was in the fueling. The PE was too high. And the VQ is pretty weak. 400hp on a stock block VQ...and the 6 speed transmissions are absolute shit. The only upgrade available is 10,000$ and its rated for 400hp. 11.0 is embarrassing at 700+hp levels. Im half a second off with a little more than half the HP. On nitrous the car will go 10s with ease. Yeah there are a hand full of extremely built VQ setups in the 9s but reliability is out the window.
dude its all in how u go about it, i mean if u go with a tt build on a stock block vq u will run 11s all day with a good tire setup and drive it reliably..yea the vq's in the 9's are high horsepower builds for racing as well as a ls2 build would be..its not very weak in the 6cyl department..i spent nowhere near 10k on my build to run high 11's and drive every day reliably on stock block and not even turbo build..like i said apples and oranges with a v8 and v6 and what u wanna do with the car
The reason I built the car was for potential. And with the VQ there just really isnt any without spending big bucks...and no matter how good you build them they are never really that reliable. The LS platform has been tested and proven it self time and time again..and mixed with the 350z platform its the perfect combo. Earlier in your post you were mocking the car for only running a 12...now im showing you a mid 11 with nothing changed parts wise and your saying apples to oranges.
my car is a road course car/drifting with occasional trip to the strip car and daily driven and performs with the best of them everywhere i go and stil stock block vq with just a mild build running respectable times for what it is and not even built for is what im saying and unless theres a blown motor and cheap swap to do i see no point in it..all in what u want like i said but tell me who doesnt do a ls2 i mean dime a dozen swap even though its a good one, i did it on my 2nd gen rx-7
Again, I did it for potential. You cannot beat this setup for the price, reliabilty, and performance it gives you. Im not really sure why you seem to be riding my nuts in every video posted but id be glad to do a side by side comparison of my car N/A vs your car FI...I guess I can show you the point of it all.
and id love to put the two cars on a road course and show u whats up..its just two completely different setups for completely different things and not once did i mock it, yeah its a cheap easy swap but its not a nissan is all im saying and just somethin i wouldnt do is all im saying..good for u for doing it and liking it, its a cool swap and mean for ur street racing and quarter mile runs. id prefer to build the car and stay with the z heritage and tru to the car..if anything a titan swap
Id love to see that too. Cheap and easy? Your joking right? Its not cheap, its not easy..but its different...and it works and works well. This car has more low end than any VQ...supercharged or not.
actually its a faily cheap swap (not expensive to find the motor) and fairly easy swap if u have done one yourself..im not hating on the car dude..its cool ill say that but for u to act like its gods gift to a z ur crazy..more low end than any vq supercharged or not? absolutely not!! a tt vq has tons of low end yeah my vortech makes power up top and doesnt compare to the low end i agree, it is different but not the only one and will run strong and has tons of potential to go fast..
there are alot more upgrades than that, a vias delete, stillen has parts, there are aftermarket blocks... if you know what your doing you can make a power engine reliable as long as you don't wot it everywhere you go.
tons of potential on the ls2 motor though to make very big power with boost and etc...souns like this one is modded pretty good and not just a basic ls2
Instead of talking shit about the car how about some of you VQ nut swingers run this car. See how "over rated" the LS engine is.

Pushrod engines are simple. There are not that many moving parts in the engine compared to a DOHC V8. The VQ series engines is the king of all v6's.
Im only appreciating the work done here to swap in an LS engine.

@Jharp82
Materials used in engines are actually limit of power potencial not displacement. Engineering is not simple as you think. Also 2JZ BLOCK stoked to 3.4L still holds record for most powerful straight 6 engine (aftermarket built) in Australia made by GAS Motorsport produced 2000 hp at flywheel. LS2 is good, engine but getting into 2000 hp range isnt simple. Also, LS3/LS7 engines are much much better from stock

@2jzgtejza80 STFU dude. you don't know shit if you think an LS3 or LS7 is anything more capable than an LS2. Yeah, i'm sure that it is a lot more SIMPLE to get that inline 6 to make 2000hp, then it is tomake it with an LSX motor!!! not to mention, the LS motor stuff is pleniful and they're cheap to build.

Buddy you are far from engineering, stop making a fool of yourself. LS7 and LS9 are engines totally different from factory (in terms of internal parts). I was talking about stock vs. stock. Even GM engineers claimed 800bhp safe on all stock LS9, stock fuel pumps and injectors are made for that like in LS7 (ZO6). I know what means power up, it's not easily, you need very good tuner to do this safetly and reliable in same time. I suggest you to learn more about this.

Man, I know that the 350Z engine bay isn't that spacious. Good job putting in that gigantic motor inside that thing.
Being a ex-G35 owner and driven many Zs. It tends to understeer pretty easilly as it is, I'm pretty sure that car's going to be used for more of a drag/drift application though.

@Gred922 I think people that are into imports get to hung up on sertion engines. If you want it swap it...who gives a ish if its jdm or dsm...and 2jz vs lsx motors it depends who builds it...2jz is idk 3.4 might be wrong but lsx 6.1...more ci easier to extract power!
Denton15501 11 months ago
@Denton15501
Many things depends on high powered applications. Just example: Stock Toyota Supra with Twin Turbo produce 320 bhp, ok, than LS1 produce 350bhp, while LS2 400bhp. OK. LS1 and LS2 coming from GM factory without Turbos. 2JZ coming from factory with 2 turbos. Much easier is change boost on Supra engine to produce 450 bhp, than installing whole turbocharging system on LS2 which cost double more than on 2JZ. There is the difference.
2jzgtejza80 11 months ago
@2jzgtejza80 more wiring to do with a 2jz= more work...you can get more power out of a lsx with out turboing...for instance cam, heads exhaust etc etc....
Denton15501 11 months ago
@Denton15501
Changing only boost at 2JZ needs 30 minutes of work and you are from 320bhp to 420bhp.
To put out 450 bhp from LS1 you need 2000 $ at least and 8-10 hours of work.
In terms of boost, add a supercharger to LS1, it's much cheaper, than tuning of naturally aspirated engine.
You can find good centrifugal supercharger 4 about 1000$ with final power of 500 hp and about 600Nm torque.
2jzgtejza80 11 months ago
@2jzgtejza80 what an idot. lol. changing boost 'at' a 2jz is 30min of work? let me guess, no need for a tune, or supporting mods to provide fuelingfor that additional air your moving? you have no idea. And it takes $2000 to get an LS1 to make 450hp? sure. I built fully built my LS2 from oil pan to valve covers for well under $4500 and it will be 1500hp capable.So theres no need to tune a supercharger setup? god, if you don't know what your talking about, just don't even talk.

You dont know nothing from your post. You sounds like teenage kid. I had a Supra, and I know well potencial of my car. Stock Supra (stock fuel pump designed up to v.h.flow up to 450bhp, like stock 450cc injectors, ECU -stock with new fuel map added). Internal can hold up 500bhp safetly. After that 420 bhp was ready. What part you dont understand. Having factory turbo system gives huge advantage over NA. Cheaper power up, and usually faster.
2jzgtejza80 1 month ago
@2jzgtejza80 so according to you, i can just slap a supercharger on my LS2, and no need to tune it huh?... cause that will be cheaper than 'tuning' a naturally aspirated engine. I'd love to know whereyou can find a good centrifugal blower for $1000, lol. first of all, a 'good' centrifugal doesn't exist. they're garbage and make shitty power. you do realize that you cant just bolt the supercharger unit on and make more power, right?
zx10rcobra 1 month ago
@zx10rcobra
I never said LS1/LS2 are shit engines, but they have 99% cast internals, compared to all-forged in LS7/LS9/LSA(ZL1). Centrifugal SC's are not popular, but they have some good advantages. For smaller engines they are good, and cost little more over 1000$, and can give 200bhp power up without problems. I saw many installed systems and they work fine in Silvia, S2000, Integra, even in Skyline GTT and Pontiac GTO.
2jzgtejza80 1 month ago
lol ok. centrifugals blow even more nut sack on a smaller engine. they have a worse power band than my 91mm turbo on my stock longblock 4.6. I don't know where you get the idea that it will cost anywhere near $1000. It would cost you nearly that much to run a fuel system adequate to keep up with the extra air your moving. so i guess i can take a stock integra making 140hp, and throw a centrifugal on there and make 340hp and never worry about it. sounds about right
zx10rcobra 1 month ago
@zx10rcobra
Well i see you never worked with C-SC, basic SC (centrifugal), cost 800-1200 $ alone, able press over 10psi of air, Whole kit for Honda Integra and S2000 cost less than 2000$, and you can get 50% power up, on all stock parts. S2000 injectors are designed to handle over 300bhp, while Integra K20A's even more (Ariel Atom example).
Of course kit for V8 like Mustang, Camaro, Corvette cost at least 4000$. Well, that's still cheaper than installing Turbo kit on Corvette.

@Gred922 ls2's are more responsive and twice the displacement of a 2jz. while i love the 2jz, an ls motor is superior. if you want to argue that its iron vs. aluminum, just swap in an lq9 block.
2jz swaps are also much more involving that an ls swap into a 350z. a swap kit is very minimal for the ls vs 2jz. not to mention cost.

boostin350z 1 year ago
@boostin350z Ihve never been impressedby the LS1 depite popular belief they cannot handle more power stock than my VG they need to be rebuilt as well. The lq9 only makes 350hp stock after cam intake exhaust and tune you are only at 425hp ad a sts kit and yes you can get 550 but that is also 9k later and 10psi is the limit until full rebuild. Yes if you are talking abt the extreme limits then a v-8 can extreme great numbers. But in the realm of 400whp to 700whp do not see the point
DVcustomZ 1 year ago
@DVcustomZ im not really talking about stock here. while a stock ls1 can handle much more abuse than a vq can, when built, ive seen much more success with a built lsx than a built vq. having a built vq myself, i can say i will be relieved to swap in a much more simple motor. ive dumped alot of money into my z, n/a, stock block turbo, and built tt, and im much more impressed with what i've seen out of the ls block. just my opinion.
boostin350z 1 year ago
@boostin350z I guess the big difference is I am talking VG as opposed to VQ. Unlessyour power goal is over 1000whpI do not get the infatuation. The main problem I see with Z33 members R they think spendingmoney and getting performancego hand in hand. My friend has a 14k built Z33 from Z1 motorsports that could not beat me when I had Bolt ons. Most Street cars are less than 800whp which means that no matter the platform a full build is needed.

American engines are bigger than Japanese or European is term of displacement. Next. American engines doesn't produce big power compared to European or Japanese engines in NA or forced induction trim.
World record book: Most powerful production naturally aspirated GM engine is LS7(500+hp) and VIper ACR(600hp) engine. Most powerful European is from 660-750 all over to 860hp. Japanese is 552hp.
See, American engines = higher torque, good price.

In US it's much cheaper, better to maintain and easy to find the GM LS series of engines than in Europe or Japan. From experience, I can tell you, GM engines are expensive compared to European and taxes are very very big. See, used LS1, LS2 is about 8,500-10,000 euros, while Toyota 1UZ V8 is less than 5000 euros, even BMW M3 S60 engine is cheaper. LS7 is 15,000-17,000 euros

@2jzgtejza80 Honestly, at times I think Japanese motors should be left out in terms of power. Considerding Japanese automakers has the "Gentlemen's Rule" which is an agreement between Japanese automakers that they would produce cars within the 280hp range. So they focus more on balance. Of course some cars aren't bound within 280hp, but most of them are.. reason why they don't bother in making big displacement engines.
LS series motors are my favorite American made V8s though.
JSlShow 11 months ago
@JSlShow
Not just favorite, LS series are best pushrod (OHV) motors ever made. Using newer technology they improve efficient. Japanese car manufacturers are these days far from performance cars. In 80's and until early years of 21st century they are producing very good high quality cars. Now, Germans and Europa overall are again on top of the world.
2jzgtejza80 11 months ago
@2jzgtejza80 But when you look into formula cars, Acura/Honda does a good job of making high powered engines. And they win, and in terms of handling and balance, it's not as good as Porsche. But S2K, Evo X especially does a good job. Evo X broke 1.1g with stock tires and suspension, and it's rate for .99g on the skippad. Not sure how many front engine application cars can break 1.1g, and AWD is supposed to be notorious for understeer through track use. But with the Xs S-AYC it's been eliminated
JSlShow 11 months ago
@JSlShow
EVO X can handle more G, thanks to lots of electronics like Nissan GT-R. I prefer older Jap cars.
You are right, Porsche is 2 leagues over Jap sport cars, like price said. It's obviously that 130,000 euros GT3 RS wins against most powerful EVO X MR FQ400 which cost just 50,000 euros.
2jzgtejza80 11 months ago
@2jzgtejza80 I wouldn't compare the Evo X FQ400 with the GT3 RS, considering that it'll beat the GT-R.. and like you said about how much of a price difference there is. But I'm curious how this year's GT-R will do, the numbers have improved a LOT from the other R35s.
And I enjoy older Japanese cars too. I have a 240SX S14, kind of want a S13 though. If I can find a really good 280Z Fairlady in the market, I'll be looking into that as well.

Japanese problem is, they don't producing anymore sport cars. Older cars are great. GT-R is only hope, since LF-A is exclusive and already sold.

@trugemini6382 You have to think about it this way tho, chevy never needed to make a performance v6 until now, so it never botherd with it, it's always been a v8 performance car or 4 cylender or v6 Eco car manufacturer, just because they never made a powerful v6 didn't meant that they couldent do it, see what I'm saying, so saying that it's dumb that Nissan has a v6 with 278 bhp and Chevys only makes 200bhp is irrelivent since each engine has a different purpose

For example, the 2002 camaro had a weak, large v6, because anyone in the market for a performance camaro was going to buy the v8, they were afordable and gas was cheap then and there was no ressesion at the time, the v6 existed purely to boost sales for the people that wanted a camaro cuz they liked the car, there was no market for a performance v6 from gm, so why make one

the tune is all in the timing as far as 10.1 at wot...vq platform is a 6cyl platform and not exactly weak by any means and u are comparing apples and oranges with a 6 3.5 liter vs. a ls2 8cyl., also 11.0 is not very sad and very different from a 11.6..nitrous on a ls2 in a 350z i would hope it would be as fast as a vq with a little boost in case u havent notice but there are also vq's in the 9's..its all in what u wanna spend and what its for..the z is not a quarter mile car

No it was in the fueling. The PE was too high. And the VQ is pretty weak. 400hp on a stock block VQ...and the 6 speed transmissions are absolute shit. The only upgrade available is 10,000$ and its rated for 400hp. 11.0 is embarrassing at 700+hp levels. Im half a second off with a little more than half the HP. On nitrous the car will go 10s with ease. Yeah there are a hand full of extremely built VQ setups in the 9s but reliability is out the window.

dude its all in how u go about it, i mean if u go with a tt build on a stock block vq u will run 11s all day with a good tire setup and drive it reliably..yea the vq's in the 9's are high horsepower builds for racing as well as a ls2 build would be..its not very weak in the 6cyl department..i spent nowhere near 10k on my build to run high 11's and drive every day reliably on stock block and not even turbo build..like i said apples and oranges with a v8 and v6 and what u wanna do with the car

The reason I built the car was for potential. And with the VQ there just really isnt any without spending big bucks...and no matter how good you build them they are never really that reliable. The LS platform has been tested and proven it self time and time again..and mixed with the 350z platform its the perfect combo. Earlier in your post you were mocking the car for only running a 12...now im showing you a mid 11 with nothing changed parts wise and your saying apples to oranges.

my car is a road course car/drifting with occasional trip to the strip car and daily driven and performs with the best of them everywhere i go and stil stock block vq with just a mild build running respectable times for what it is and not even built for is what im saying and unless theres a blown motor and cheap swap to do i see no point in it..all in what u want like i said but tell me who doesnt do a ls2 i mean dime a dozen swap even though its a good one, i did it on my 2nd gen rx-7

Again, I did it for potential. You cannot beat this setup for the price, reliabilty, and performance it gives you. Im not really sure why you seem to be riding my nuts in every video posted but id be glad to do a side by side comparison of my car N/A vs your car FI...I guess I can show you the point of it all.

and id love to put the two cars on a road course and show u whats up..its just two completely different setups for completely different things and not once did i mock it, yeah its a cheap easy swap but its not a nissan is all im saying and just somethin i wouldnt do is all im saying..good for u for doing it and liking it, its a cool swap and mean for ur street racing and quarter mile runs. id prefer to build the car and stay with the z heritage and tru to the car..if anything a titan swap

Id love to see that too. Cheap and easy? Your joking right? Its not cheap, its not easy..but its different...and it works and works well. This car has more low end than any VQ...supercharged or not.
transam6383 2 years ago
actually its a faily cheap swap (not expensive to find the motor) and fairly easy swap if u have done one yourself..im not hating on the car dude..its cool ill say that but for u to act like its gods gift to a z ur crazy..more low end than any vq supercharged or not? absolutely not!! a tt vq has tons of low end yeah my vortech makes power up top and doesnt compare to the low end i agree, it is different but not the only one and will run strong and has tons of potential to go fast..

wheres the dyno vids and numbers though?
tylerxfire 2 years ago
there are alot more upgrades than that, a vias delete, stillen has parts, there are aftermarket blocks... if you know what your doing you can make a power engine reliable as long as you don't wot it everywhere you go.

tons of potential on the ls2 motor though to make very big power with boost and etc...souns like this one is modded pretty good and not just a basic ls2
tylerxfire 2 years ago
well since nissan motors are junk, that was the BEST mod he could have possibly done to the car...
