5.0

Red__Zed · 09-20-2011, 07:19 PM

No way in hell I'd run the vq37 up to 8000. Nissan set the soft limit at 7 grand for a reason... setting a hard limit at 7800 is probably ok...but no one way I'd stress an internally stock motor that far....especially for the barely noticeable effect on power delivery.
V6's in general aren't really made to rev that high, and the vhr has worse balance than most. If you wanna see 8 grand buy an s2000.

Well it's the truth. You really are stretching it, and you said yourself you are concerned with reliability, so we are trying to help you out.

Guess I need to jump on the 5.0 bandwagon to get promoted to a real car enthusiast

I kinda wanna test drive one now. Not to buy, but just to see how it is.

Yeah but I'm trying to beat my 1/4 mile time too

Want to have it reliable enough for a DD, but also trying to squeeze as much performance out of it as I can without spending tons of money. Makes it more enjoyable for the fun times, which is when I really enjoy the car for what it is.

For the fun factor, you should be more interested in the tune bumping up your low and mid range torque. That will be the biggest difference between stock tune and uprev.

Yeah I just look at the rev limiter bump to be a bonus. Seeing what my other options are with the UpRev and what I can do with it besides the obvious.

mustang will do that

Seriously though...you will probably pick up essentially nothing for most of the reliability trade-offs...

Wanna go faster? buy some drag radials.

Cool, looks like I'll be ok with the 7800 limit.
