what do u all tihnk of the idea of just droping a V10 or a V8 in the coupe insteadof turbos it would cost about the same?

 

That was a joke, right?

 

no i am not kidding a turrbo will cost like 6-7 grand and a new engine will cost me like the same. so turbos and get about 450hp at the wheels or new engine and get 600-1200 hp with no turbos. My friend has a mustang with a V10 in it he also made it a mid engine car.

 

This is just not something you do to a low mileage, mint condition automobile. You're going to prematurely age it by cutting up the hell out of the engine compartment and then the interior to fit in the transmission. Not to mention that you'll be getting an engine that likely has much more mileage than your own.

Engine swaps do sound like fun, but I highly recommend you pick up a badly abused used car for that. Anything with a totalled engine can be had for short change, since you're swapping in a different one anyway. Look especially for something lightweight.

You don't want to play mad scientist on a pristine condition G35, that's just crazy. I'd hope even the guys currently driving V10s would tell you that.

yeah thanks i need that to snap me back into reality.

 

The idea is kinda good tho bro. Just imagine a G-45! With a lttle tweaking, you could prolly get some 400 hp or so. Hmmmmmmmmmm

Anything can be accomplished with money, but I doubt you can find a V10 or a nice V8 for under the price of a turbo installation.

It would be pretty cool to see someone drop a Q45 engine in a G35 and replace the G35 badge with a G45 badge[img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

 

I doubt you could find a V10 that would fit in the engine bay, myself.

But I have to agree...I doubt a V10 would fit.

I think it will fit.. I have seen V12 BMW Engine in those old E30 3 series with Twin Turbo! =D but as for is it worth it? I do not know...

well i could do the instillation for pritty much free cuz i would be doing ti my slef and at about 6 grad for turbos it will be a abit more but more power. My friend who is a legend in race car building and makes funny cars gave me the idea. He thinks that i would be the best way to go but i dont know i think its over kill but i want to explre my options

 

what you have said is wrong in so many ways.
what are you thinking? V10! to even think of putting that in i dont think you should even install an intake yourself.
you might be able to fit a Q45 motor in, maybe.


-moooooo

 

i could fit a V10 in dont worry about that it will fit weather it wants to or not but i i am not going to be doing that so its not a problem. I will go turbos
