VQ20DE - low to Mid Power range

[honggas]

Hi Guys,

I got a question on increasing low to mid power range for my beloved car.

I go up Cameron a lot, and in the winding uphill road, top speed seems kinda useless.

I don't feel like going down the Supercharger/Turbocharger path quite yet and an engine transplant doesn't really seem a feasible option when I should be concentrating to pay off my car.

Somebody suggested an adjustable cam pulley, do we have such thing for our car?

Thanks :cyclops:

cam pulley won't help much just doing correction, and I don't even know if there is any adjustable cam pulley in the market for the engine.

You have no other choice, you best option is to get the 3L.

Do it the illegal way, dump in the 3L and nobody will even know it is a replacement anyway, cause the engine all looked the same. And no cops would even want to pull a Cefiro over.

Either that or dump in a Manual gearbox ...

But ... KL .. jam .... wouldn't wanna walk around with left leg bigger than the right .. hehe

But the thought is ...... quite intriguing .. and i thought I saw a posting somewhere here about the manual conversion for 1.8K ....

Illegal 3.0 is nice, but not when i still owe the bank ...

if it is actually an option .... VQ35DE from Teana seems a nicer option ..

problem getting the VQ30 is hard...the VQ35 FF its even harder..

Agreed .... I guess improving handling and braking is the way to go for now

Btw, I read somewhere today JPJ was doing some operasi at one of the Highway rest area ... got some pic of the officer looking into the engine bay ... :confused_smile:

There are time I wish that engine number are not that easily viewable. My friend dumped a 2.8 (or was it a 2.5) engine into his E30 beemer replacing the stock 2.0 cause it seems the engine number is under the engine, they have to lift the engine then can oni see the number :emoticon_U:

Thanks Cheong, was thinking about it, had been asking around and was quoted 700 for 2.5" piping + the mugen replica twin loop muffler (supposedly better for automatic as less restriction than S-Flow, don't know how far true it is though)

Dunno much abt the mods for intake other than the drop in filter though. Anyone heard about wire mesh air filter? Better performance?

power don't come cheap leh.. so add turbo which cause your lots of grand.. or change to 3L and you get to have better mileage vs he 2L only pay 2k extra per year
