no
thats the logic of it, even the v8 boys know this and seem to use it to their advantage every chance they get. And with that mirage, I think it would be a typo as it is really hot 4's magazine, and they really wouldn't know the difference between a spoon and a cam shaft, but could tell you the difference of the magenta and purple pearl and X racing body kit on that excel.
nah dont think it was a typo in this instance as it was/is a fairly high profile car... and the main bias to the story was the fact that it made so much power... (not sure but I think there were even dyno papers showing this)

i dont understand why people need so much power to have fun in their cars???
i went in a boonger gze last night, that was PLENTY quick for me
and my 4kc still beat it in the hills...
a 4agte should be capable of 14's which is pretty darn quick
you gotta ask the question what are you building the car for? cause my old 100kw 4AGE whooped my mates slightly modded 180sx in the twisties but he was 1-2sec quicker in a straight line, for me im into a car to "tackle the corners!" not a ridiculous 400hp turbo sprinter that smokes them up off the line to 3rd gear and gets beaten by magnas!! LOL but im happy with a midly modified 4AGE 16v that can handle like a go-kart
i like a bit of power and handling too
best of both worlds imho
The best conversion i have seen so far that didnt effet handling was a
4agze with a hks gt25 and cams( dont remenber but boost started at 1700rpm), running a 4age throttle body. Gearbox was running straight gears in first and second. The brakes where only upgrade to JDM spec. The master cylinder has been rebuilt.
response, handling and power all in one
im not going to comment on nissan engines because i dont know much about them,
what susp is it running though
i have more fun in my 4age daily than my 4agte. n/a is a different kind of fun...more addictive
I just re-thought my morals on the topic. I agree with truenosedan.
I would have none. Give me n/a revs and power anyday over a crappy hairdryer.
The n/a part of the car makes it fun to drive. If you want a drag car buy something turbo. windy mountain roads aren't about turbos.
Why put a sr20 in a hachi when you could just buy a silvia. stronger chassis, more aftermarket crap, no rust etc etc.
I like na
