Yep, all the holes do is show you where the cracks will start.

LOL this thread is awesome.
I guess to help the OP, I would go with what chuck said as far as making cooling a priority. I've never been to Qatar, but I imagine the heat is as bad, if not worse than Texas. An oil cooler is a must with any VQ37 in my opinion. I'm running the stock radiator and haven't had any issues on track and dailying the car for nearly 90,000 miles. However, I'm running the Stillen bumper which has generous cooling. To comment on the other hilarity in this thread, the reason most boosted Zs are not seen on track is because of the amount of supporting modifications needed to keep the car running healthy at extreme heat. High efficiency radiators, extra oil coolers, using E85, and modifying body panels are used to combat that issue. On top of that, running boost in a motor that is not designed for boost causes extra stress on the motor, so alot of guys will look into using a "built" motor to support the boost pressure. All of this can cost $$$$$, but if you build it right the first time, you will have less problems in the future. At the end of the day it's your ride! |

Thanks abm for the inputs
Yup, I understand the importance of cooling, I have FI 34 row oil cooler, better brake\clutch fluid with SS lines, also will upgrade brakes with two piece rotors and may go to more aggressive pads, I researched its main issues on track at first As I have upgraded exhaust and I am going to tune, I want to sort my setup and I think I already know what I will go with

Not at all, dumbass. Factory FI cars are designed to accomodate the heat and stress, while aftermarket FI cars have to be reengineered to handle it. Now go suck off a shotgun. To completion.

Good job. It only took you half a dozen posts to come to that conclusion. You've come a long way. Keep it up, and soon you'll be allowed outside without wearing a helmet. Small steps, Corky.

Whats going on in here, and why am I getting reports in the tech?
maidinjapan If you want to keep posting in this forum especially in the tech section? Please post specific questions or elaborate on what specific answers your giving. If you're not sure note that and STOP replying with incorrect info from either what you read or no experience And leave such topics to people who actually know what they're talking about. Im a NA guy so guess what? I rarely comment in here as I know my knowledge is pretty weak in FI and I suggest you do the same from what I see of you're posting history is here. Chuck Please drop the attacks on maidinjapan as thats not acceptable either. Let keep tech to just that and not make it personal. Back on Topic!! Last edited by Trips; 08-08-2016 at 05:15 PM. |
