With all that torque coming in right off the bat, something has to give - be it traction, or parts!

No different than doing it with an RC car....Emaxx's are a heavy beast with a ton of torgue, and thats why you see so many twisted drive shafts on them.

I hear that - My 4Door Diesel weighs in at a little over 7000, 1/4 tank fuel without me in it. Here is little preview what them heavy diesels can do....



Got Torque...

Ah. I think a "huffer" is a supercharger...

[jollyjumper]

put bi-turbo on the G35:D:p

[BP-Revo]

Ahh...I see...thats a good point.

As for Twin Turboing the G35...well, thats costs like 8 grand at least, kills your milage, and kills overall engine life...

I think I'll stick with cams. They are probably the most vehicle/driver friendly of the bunch, since most power is added up top (and is only used when you allow it to rev that high and give it enough gas).

I normally shift at about 3500RPM's. I shift at 2500 if I want to save gas, and if I feel like driving more agressively, I'll shift at like 4500.

dude.. aggresive and 4500 rpms dont go together!! lol.. whats redline on that car, i know its like 8k? now thats aggresive! 4500 isnt even in the power yet, my buddy has one. sounds like you baby that car... why put cams in it if your not gonna wind it out? with aggresive cams itll rev to like 8500rpms!

[BP-Revo]

I meant more agressive than the average driver and still not enough to get pulled over.

Redline and stuff falls under my "drive it like I should" category - which I will do when I'm sure there isn't any cops around (and the environment is right - ei, empty street). Redline is 6500 with the Revlimiter at 6800, but you can rev it to 7k in the first 3 gears because you will have shifted before it would cut off.

Also, at 3k secondary fuel injectors start opening up, and 4k they open, so its in the power. Power is generally 4k+

Secondary fuel injectors? I think you mean secondary intake runners.

Secondary fuel injectors? I think you mean secondary intake runners.

No, its fuel injectors. Dont think secondary intake runners have been invented yet.

Here is the lower half of a nissan QR25 intake manifold. The 4 gold colored plates you see function like throttle bodies, there is a vacuum driven solenoid that opens these valves at about 4500 rpm, allowing the effective runner length to decrease quite a bit. The VQ uses a very similar set up, but I couldnt find a good picture of it. It might help you to research a little before disagreeing with someone.
And VQ35s only have 6 injectors.

that's what i'm talkin' bout! We own a banks'd up diesel. Chip, intercooler, exhaust, turbo housing, downpipe, that's just what comes to mind.

Then here's mine. 460 bored 60 over (472) towing cam (not exactly sure what so don't ask lol) edelbrock performer intake, k & n, glasspacks, overload springs, paint, wheels/tires, billet grille, 800 watt 12's, 6.5's, 1000 watt amp, ummm, that's most of what I've done to it. It's mine, there's none other quite like it, I've put a lot of hard work and time into makin' it MY truck while in school too, and I absolutely love it! (if u can't tell)

My Sunday driver and my sunny day driver.

[squeeforever]

Bdebde, nice cars! What is that? I'm 95% sure its a Ford, but 1. back then, they all looked alot alike, and 2. since I can't see the grill, I can't tell. I'm just gonna guess and say a '32 Ford Model A...

[pinolelst]

Here's my Sunday Ride.I built this from scratch and painted it myself...sorry for the poor pics.I took these before I had a digi-cam.Started with a bare frame and some napkin sketches ,113cu in S&S V-Twin Super G carb 2 1/4'' straight pipes.Soft tail frame stretched 2" with a torsion bar rear suspension ,fat bob tanks stretched 9", glass rear fender with frenched license plate holder and flush led tail lights,FLH front fender welded to brackets and rivets flushed,painted House of Color Black with chameleon flames...to be honest it hasn't seen daylight for some time and right now sits covered in my garage.I was run down in the street by an agry woman :031: in a car a couple years ago and riding is less fun than it used to be :007:
It has a problem with snapping drive belts..too many ponys I guess so the kevlar belted system I'm using now is eventually going to be changed out for a wet chain drive.It's pretty exciting when the belt snaps because you goosed it too much at 80 mph on the freeway and it wraps around the clutch basket :026:

Yep, 32 Ford.
