when i open it up and it reaches 5-6 rpm it sounds like its gonna explode or something. lol is that normal? i mean it jus sounds unstable to me and very loud.

 

VQ35DE, If you have an 03-04 MT/AT and 05-07 AT gives off a lot of vibrations and harsh sounds at high rpm.

I'll admit, when I first got the car I was hesitant to take it over 5k lol.

 

^^lol yea it kinda sounds frightening like i hope i didnt break something

 

its a loud engine as long as you dont hear weird noises you should be fine

 

Yes it should feel like it's breaking apart at the seams

 

You have to remember it's a chain driven engine vs a belt drive, which will tend to be louder than most engines. I agree it is kind of harsh sounding but I'd gladly take the extra noise and never have to shell out buku bucks to replace a timing belt. If it really bothers you just slap an exhaust on that bish and it will drown out all engine noise... lol

 

As long as its not knocking!!

 

Anyone have a sound clip? I don't think timing chains are that loud.

 

You might have to shell out buku bucks to replace a timing chain though. They do wear out at some point as well.

 

And when a timing chain snaps you're good an ****ed!

 

Same for a snapped belt.

Chains supposed to be good for like 250,000 miles. I'll take that over a 60,000 mile belt.

 

^ not so much, chains snap and takes a lot with it, belts snap and the car isn't too hurt, you'll replace more when a chain snaps than when a belt goes.

Belts also give you a warning (fraying and noise) chains don't, they just snap.

 

I think it just means you have a lot of powa..

 

i look at it as V6 = mmmmm boomage enjoy the loud boomage instead of the fartcan sound

 

unless you hear chain clatter/rattle or knocking...its normal. make sure your oil level is good then shut up and drive it. lol
