Nm35 To M35

[stagea alan]

has anyone gone from a turbo m35 to the n/a m35 what was it like?

[Brick]

Are you talking 2.5 na or 3.5. They are very very different

[stagea alan]

which is better? 2.5 or 3.5 n/a

It made jesus cry

For na displacement if key! So 3.5 if you where thinking of changing to but why would you Alan your vq25det is a stronger motor

Theres a power graph on here somewhere here that shows the 3.5 NA vs the 2.5 Turbo. The 3.5 has more top and bottom end, the 2.5T has more midrange.

I went from NM35 (2.5Lt 250t RS Four) to PNM35 (3.5L N/A 350RX Four).

Yep. Both behave differently, but at stock levels there isn't a ton of difference in straight line performance.

Of course, once intake, HFC and exhaust mods are on the 250t is obviously quicker and the powerband changes but the 3.5 is certainly no slouch.

What I do find interesting is that the whilst the 3.5 is much, much, much more useful putting around under 3000rpm (it really wakes up north of 3500-4000rpm - adding 370z/V36/G37 headers really help build the revs), my 250t was outputting more torque at 3000rpm than my 350rx does.

Performance aside, there is nothing that was inferior on the series 2. Overall, the series 2 is a much nicer car to drive and to own. Also, performance upgrades are incredibly easy to acquire if you are that way inclined.

Of course, if you are referring to going from the VQ25det NM35 to the VQ25dd engine in an M35... you will be disappointed.

lolz Cam!!!!......good stock NM35's with the VQ25det have been know to run low 14's with no mod's whatsoever!!! Never seen a stock PM35 get close to that out of the box....14.8/9 was the number I think for PM's...and by no means do they feel as strong up top as the NM35's. HP is about the same in the peaks....its the torque that push's the NM35's along a little better all the way to about 5,800rpm's...no need to rev em after that when stock.....unlike the PM35!

However the guy above is right in terms of refinement....the PM35 is imo a much better all round car in stock form. It comes around to whether you want to mod or not. If you do then the NM35 is the better choice as the end result is much greater as there "are" more choices in setups for any particular person now.....maybe not in the past....but Def now and moving forward.

thanks lads just that i have seen some nice n/a s3 in japan at the mo but think i will keep the nm35 as there still not many here in the uk & put a few k in to the car.
