Bitching about a 4g in a 3000GT

[AudibleSilence]

Everyone is jumping on this being about being fast. It doesnt have to be fast, it doesnt have to be practical, its about having fun. Just doing something different and having fun doing it. People are always saying there going to do stupid stuff to there base model 3S, but the will NEVER actually do ANYTHING. Personally, I love it when someone does something, anything, just dont go around talking.

Correct me if I am wrong but..didn't he say he was building this in part for drag?

let's let this thread get back on course with what OP wants to do with it; people who want to discuss how much they dislike it should make a new thread or take it to private messaging so as to not pollute this thread

and to clarify/answer the question, OP never said drag, he said "toy"

I didn't jump into (and complete) a full on engine/trans swap without doing a little homework. I'm a member on tuners and link. I have consulted with donniekak on numerous occasions (as well as members running deep into the 9's through dsm forums). Also been in donnie's FP red talon in both 2.0 and 2.3. Manual and auto. Balance shaft deleted.

This is not a DD. It's a toy. My toy, and I am building it to be exactly what I want. DSM heart. 1G VR4 looks and amenities.

Seriously, who would go through the trouble of sourcing everything necessary for a full engine swap, research, measure, research, measure, research, measure, cut/weld, wire and actually successfully start it up without thinking about how it will perform for it's intended use????

People can disagree all they like. I suggest you use the ignore feature if you don't like what people are saying. Either way, stop whining.

Ahhh yes, I reread and he said toy, someone else said drag car.

I didnt mean fun to drive specifically, its the project, the build, the challenge that is fun.

My car with 245/45/17 tires took almost 8500 rpms to do 130.

The important issue here, like some are bringing up, is that Eric had an idea and implemented it. How many hype threads are there? This is a reverse hype thread, and people still bitch. I work on awd turbo mitsus all the time, and my hat goes off to Eric for doing something very different. If it doesn't work right, and he doesn't like it for some odd reason, I'm sure he'll have a built 6g72 back in there before most people in this thread change their oil.

Some of us love doing this car thing.

You put a smaller engine in a heavy car... I appreciate that you made it work, but this is frankly stupid. It just makes zero sense, why would you want a smaller displacement engine with less torque in a heavy car. People swap 6Gs into DSMs not DSM engines into a 3s for a reason. Again, cool that you did it...but what in the actual fuck man?

No torque, but it's a good start...
