Nissan VVEL Direct Injection

370Zsteve · 02-11-2010, 10:27 AM

New Infinity M56 with 420-HP VVEL Direct-Injection V8

Looking forward to the same with the V6 in the near future

theDreamer · 02-11-2010, 10:32 AM

Can I have that V8 instead in my Z?

370Zsteve · 02-11-2010, 10:33 AM

I wonder if it would fit, whoa

What a beast that would be.

Would throw off the balance though, wouldn't it?

theDreamer · 02-11-2010, 10:35 AM

It depends on the weight of a V8, V8 does not automatically mean more weight or miss balance.
It might change the left/right weight ratios.

vipor · 02-11-2010, 10:36 AM

It'd be worth it, just add weight in the back

370Zsteve · 02-11-2010, 10:37 AM

Would also love to see these in a new Z

Active Noise Control, which reduces undesirable engine harmonics, providing a quieter cabin

Blind Spot Warning (BSW), which helps alert the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area

WTF? Sounds like it modifies your RPMs to stray away from resonating speeds. Otherwise I don't know how they'd be able to do something like that

If that's the case then it really wouldn't be ideal for a sports car

Nope, it was developed with Bose using noise-cancelling magic. Think Bose headphones............

edit:

"Listening to music or conversation in the M interior is a little easier thanks to the new Active Noise Control system. Standard on all 2011 M models, Active Noise Control uses sound to delete sound – generating “canceling” sound from four door speakers to reduce unpleasant engine harmonics. The cabin noise levels are monitored by two microphones located in the M’s ceiling, with no action needed from the driver and passengers except to enjoy the quiet, comfortable cabin."

theDreamer · 02-11-2010, 10:42 AM

Active noise control may just be more sound control pieces around the engine, specifically designed for certain "undesirable" frequencies.

schrute · 02-11-2010, 10:43 AM

Accords have the noise cancelling feature now too.

nope, see my post above

Haven't you guys seen that Acura commercial about the opposing frequency stuff?

Acura noise canceling?
Can anyone tell me if the Acura noise canceling system is effective? If so what models/years, etc. Thanks!

Yeah, but sadly it doesn't cancel out the noise from your wife.
