Why draw the line at only V8's vs turbo cars ? Why not include V12's , rotaries, Diesels....Hell why not include a Jet engine as well........Really mate what is the point of this thread ?

its just like arguing Religion or Politics

There is no right or wrong - only personal preference

what about vtec motors?

Both types of engine have aspects that shit me, but I think a V8 turbo would be my choice something torquey to kick in before the boost through the top end :happy:

This is why the Typoons are good cars, torquey large capacity 6 + turbo

yeah for sure Dan mad combo

oh yeah, and fark that v8/turbo debate poo, honestly i've heard this argument so many times its annoying. both applications are effective in what they do.

ok dude ino that's been done to death but the main debate was that my cousin was sayin that turbo's have/make fake power compared to a v8, wats ur reply to that? is there any truth behind this?

tell your cousin he's talking out of his ass, wtf does fake power mean??

whats he trying to say? 300rwkw out of a turbo motor is fake compared to 300rwkw out of a NA v8??? dyno's dont lie, 300rwkw is 300rwkw.

he probably thinks just because a v8 sounds like its "making a whole" 300rwkw then a "hissing" jap motor mustn't be because it doesnt sound like it is.

mate all i can put it down too is ignorance of your cousin, he's one sided, always will be, because he's never known any better

be the better man and say to him "yeah v8's are decent" (coz they are) "but jap engines are also good and thats what floats my boat"

in my opinion im glad he's into 8's, one less dickhead to give us a bad name. lol (in all respect)

couldnt have said it better if i said it myself.

man i cant stand these debates, and wat i even hate more is the arrogance and ignorance of the common V8 driver.

i like V8s aswell but id take an SR or RB anyday, shit id even consider a CA ova a V8 these days LOL

Morpheus: what is real? how do you define real?

Neo: A v8 is real, ill take the blue pill

Anyways, this fake debate; what about breast implants? they are real.....well technically they take up space and time, they feel great n look great and if they fell down in a forest they's make a sound lolz.

Weird comment from me, well so is the whole v8/turbo real/fake power lolz.

Is there actually any power serious benifit from arrangement of cylinders? I mean, is a 4L V8 magically going to make more power than a 4L v6?

The v8 should theoretically rev better due to smaller/lighter reciprocating components.

Yeah well he use to have a vlt back in the day, I love both v8's and turbo's at the start I hated turbo's but in time they grew on me and now I couldn't live without 1 lol, spose his point is with a turbo it's fake cos u got a turbo bolted on where with an 8 it's pure power and hp, doesn't realise how tuff the jap cars are anyway i'm over it lol long live the nissans :down: especially skylines!!

I think you should both check out ;

The only true power is NINJA . everything else is fake.

This thread is sooo cool I saw a ninja totally flip out and kill twenty moderators !!!

I feel like my brain capacity and IQ has just increased by 200% by reading this thread. I have never been so enlightened by internet wisdom before.

couldnt have said it better if i said it myself.

Let's not forget the ignorance/arrogance of the common turbo driver...both sides have their f***ing morons who seem to think that their particular application is better than the other.

eh this debate will go on forever....

V8s are cool, I like turbo's just cause i like the feeling of hitting boost and I've always had an RB and just enjoy the way the whole setup of them is.

Theres those on both sides that will sit there and go 'this is better then that' but nether are better. you have to go to an individual engine setup. E.G. My engine setup vs a VL 5 litre holden motor.... mine is probably better yes. My engine vs a lamborghini V8, probably not better

The only way to say which is better is to put them to the test but like i said you cant group all V8s vs all Turbos. If you know wat i mean...

Can't even make that comparison 89CAL, not without specifying the variables that determine "better". Are we talking fuel economy or power or torque or what? Are the engines stock or modified? You need to be very, very specific when comparing engines - pretty much to the point where there's no point comparing them because it will come down to one being more suitable for the purpose it was designed for. This is where things get tricky and threads like this are just one great big moot point.

Better power doesn't mean a faster car, it all depends on the weight. Heck, i imagine the engies out of some of those huge luxury sedans are pretty dam beefy, but the car itself might not be fast around a track.

this thread is the reason why I don't even waste my breath trying to talk to either bogans or one eyed import lovers about cars.

ps rev[200] your links aren't funny, ninjas and maddox are f**king gay like chuck norris jokes, welcome to faggotry from 5 years ago.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
