Near identical modifications, same tuner. The VG has over 300 ib/ft MORE torque !

interesting replies too:

 

No need to raise the BS flag- I'll show you one as proof.

411 rwhp, 452 rw torque.

 

-Stock engine

-Stock turbos

-Stock injectors

 

On an engine with 120,000 miles.

 

He's not the only one who has done it, there have been others. Ash, for instance, put down 413 hp to the wheels on stock turbos.

 

The 2530 turbos are much, much larger turbos- one guy posted his dyno of 597 rwhp with them.

good find! impressed when i saw this for the vg> (746 rwhp @ 6550 rpm)

Yep, its a pretty decent figure. Not many VG30 experienced tuners in the UK, or people spending the money on them in comparison to RB26 fans in the UK though.

the rb and the vg are both very capable.

But they are different types, one is a revver, the other is a torque monster :hyper:

I love the RB engine, the ease of access comnpared to the vg, it took me an hour just to put on a rubber hose on my 300 :wack:

Further down the thread they mention that the 350z has had a VQ engine so there must be a good reason why Nissan used it.

 

Just look at the new gtr, no straight six in sight!

The vg30dett looks more attractive and symmetrical than any other jap lump ive seen so far.

yea but i think that was just an emissions problem.

 

or maybe the development?

 

the RB26 is just a legend of an engine, wasnt asif they had to change, performance wise.

 

VQ38DETT in the new GTR is awsome, just dont know if it has the potential of the RB26.

 

 

In regards to VG30 vs RB26, id have to go for the RB26,

 

easier to work on, more performace bits, etc etc.

 

im not sure performance wise how an R32 GTR would be against a Z (both stock)

 

think the GTR is a little quicker?? (weight etc)

I used to think that r32's looked old and crap

 

But now I think they look the nuts when kitted up!

i think the r32 is beautifull, i like them in black with orange indicators (strangely)

they are classic JDM car :bow:

 

and the Z is for that matter.

 

love that whole japanese eara, early 90s....
