na mods... intake and exhaust thread finished :)
I think I already covered the basic barrier of N/A mods for the 4G64. You can cam it sure for more power up top, but you're not going to be able to rev safely above 7000 IMO. Piston velocity is getting dangerous past that point without a fully forged, lightened, balanced lower end. It's really a platform made for boost.Quote:

oh god this guy again...J/K i know a little about NA mods just because i've been capitalizing on an NA motor build for about the past year. of course NA is fun and its awesome to say you kept up with something that came from the factory much faster but all in all the 64 just doesnt have it. even a stout NA motor like the nissan QR25DE does really rev much higher than my 3.5 but it makes very good low end for a 2.5L 4cyl motor. ive seen those guys get 210 personally to the wheels but thats with everything short of itbs and increasing the CR. and even in the midst of that motor the turbo guys are spending as much or less and are eclipsing that power by at least 100whp on low boost (8-9psi on the stock block).Quote:

i wanna see a boosted 3.5L :)
I don't think the 4G64 is THAT weak, but pretty close.Quote:

once upon a time there was a 13 sec N/A 7th gen... cam,headers... you name it it had it
bottom line as it was said already it's alot cheaper to boost it and the gains are much better.
my 7th gen 129hp:146tq > 8th gen 108hp
well no shit a lighter car with more hp will win aginst a stock 8g.... 8g is heavy as a mothaQuote:

thats what you just said in other words
OK I got it so go turbo, or don't do mods at all.... well hwo about droping another engine in, I was thinking of buying a crashed old Viper with the 7 litre 400 hp engine or the 7 litre GM engine from the Corvette ZO6... I have to money to do it I just want to know if it is possible... also I want to know if I could make it rear wheel drive, the Galant that is. You see I really like the way a Galant looks, I just want to suprise a few people at the lights thats all. And no one will suspect a Galant to have a v10 under the hood lol
Oooh, crazy engine swaps. DO IT! :lol: 8)Quote:

will it also be possible to put it in the back seat area to make it mid engined... hmmm well I saw once a LS! engine from a covrette being dropped in an evo, so I know there will be enough space, but I think I will need to learn how to weld ect ect
Haha, if it's not your DD and you want to make something special out of it, I'm not holding you back. I've seen all kinds of small cars turned into mid-engined monsters. Just takes a lot of work and know-how.
to bad that engine in the evo was in the front, i wouldnt do it or even try to do it, if you try it and you fuck up your totaly screwed, plus i like the sounds of the smaller engine, over untuned muscle, im a tuner guy, but i know what both can do
plus you can get over 400 hp with the 4g64 engine lol
In before the inevitable lock.....

You prefer the farty exhaust note of an inline four over V8 muscle. God, Aaron, you're hopeless. :?Quote:

If you can make the motor sustain revs of about 8k you might reach the airflow required to make 100 hp per liter, in this case 240 at the crank. A small displacement motor in a car that weighs over 2k lbs is just not worth doing. If you want an n/a car go with a V6, and even then your just trying to keep up with Evo's and STI's. Of course an 8G V6 optioned right weighs less than either of the afformentioned cars, so 300 crank hp with a lighter car is going to go faster. Then you can add some nitrous and really have fun.
