He's also one of the first if not THE first to have a blown engine, so I'm pretty sure he knows full well what this engine can/can not handle.

The s2000 used to eat up 350z's all day long on the tracks that had more turns than straight aways. but going to Roebling Roads or Road Atlanta those long stretches killed the S Yes, Chris your right I blew the first stock motor on the forums but it was due to a factory default rod... thats all. I am in the same bucket as everyone else and strictly going on speculation at this point. I will however, leave the final decision up to sharif at forged since he knows exactly how much the VQ37 can handle in stock form as they have turbo'd the most VQ motors.

Do you have any specs of your build? I wanna see how all us TT guys will compare with different setups... This is much different than the 350z we have much more in terms of turbo options from the start thanks to vendors like GTM and AAM!

I did the same package as you, with some DeFi gauges in the center dash cluster, that's about the only difference. Not sure if you did the HKS BOV"s and have them recirculate?
Haven't decided yet, may try to sell it and see what happens, but it will be at the St. Louis Auto Show. |

What makes an s2k comparable in acceleration to, say, an older 350z is due to the ultra-high redline (ie. you can stay in each gear longer which makes for a faster acceleration) combined with appropriate gear ratios. Just keep in mind to ALWAYS downshift if possible (without going too near redline as you'd have to upshift again in a split sec). A lower gear is ALWAYS faster than a higher gear. The nature of a car's transmission. |
