whats the compression ratio's for all the FWD VQ's?

i think in the 2.0's its 10, and in the 3.0's its 9.5

that isnt very high, but it is still high compared o some other engines.

np will never consistently sell the advertised octane ratings........so i just put the best they selling and then throw in some red line now and then.

no scene.........but this damn J31 so flkn low......my latest "scraping off the bitumen" ended up breaking off the front air deflector shield, which is some shield that is bolted behind the lower transmission mount and connects with the exhaust.......so now I'm getting an annoying resonance at 1500 rpm and over 2500 rpm which is felt through the steering wheel........had to order the part from japan.......

And ah nearly cry when I saw the condition of my front cradles.......so scraped up.......man I gonna have to go with 17's and ah 60 profile tyre yes...55 for the lowest.....

i never really thought of it, but those cars really are quite low......
why not just go 18?
17 lost on those cars........18 or 19........dont some of them come with 17's?

^^^right now is 16's steelies with 205/65 profile.....but the tyres nearly done so I lorse about 1/2 inch.......don't really want to go 18's because I'd have to go with less rubber on the road.......the roads on my side sux arse and with the price of shocks man is better I keep it chunky.......and a 55 or 60 on 18's/19's go look doltish plus it may touch fender.......that's why I say 17's

^^^^what exactly happened to your tranny?
cuz thins morning i thinking about what u said.....u running 255hp through the VQ20's tranny right??????

thats more than a 60% increase in power , and about 60% more torque through that tranny.....i would only expect the clutches to burn out and the oil to heat up.....were u using and external oil cooler?.....

it just amazes me at how much power u put through that without shredding it to pieces. Razz
