Thoughts on Engine Sound at High RPM's (kinda long)

Red__Zed · 05-31-2011, 05:30 PM

I'd actually love to see something from all the people who don't think the engine is rough--what engines are you coming from?

I came from an LS1 before this car.

VQ35DE

I remember the first few weeks driving it [after breakin] it feeling rough at 5,000+ RPM's. I must have got used to it after a while because it doesn't seem too bad anymore.

I usually have other things running through my mind when I'm approaching redline.

Coming from an 02 maxima 6mt with the vq35, the new 3.7 feels better. Smoother and faster revving i guess I would say, but it sounds worse. The new engine doesn't sound as good as the 3.5 especially when bolt ons are added.

I know this post is old but when my z was stock it did feel like the motor hated being revved pass 5k
But then I added the supercharger and it sounded like a total different animal up top it sounded much more refined pass 5k
Now that I have the turbo on it that I hate revving pass 5k sound is back
