    It’s nice to see you know about the Buick V6. It is a criminally underrated engine, along with the GM 60 degree V6. I would probably still be driving my sixth gen Grand Prix (which had the latter) if I hadn’t lost it in an accident five years ago.

    • @Jake_Hamlin
      @Jake_Hamlin 3 года назад +4

      Buick v6 is nothing compared to Barra, fucking 3800 slaps rods at almost half the torque.
      Yes they come supercharged but barra comes turbo factory

    • @TBustah
      @TBustah 3 года назад +2

      @@Jake_Hamlin The Barra is a good engine too, but it’s not as common and we didn’t get it in anything on this side of the Pacific. Both translate to fewer parts available and pretty much no aftermarket support for us. It’s the same reason that RB and JZ swaps are less popular here. For many markets, those are fairly cheap, reliable engines that local mechanics have been wrenching on for decades. For us, the JZ was only seen in our Supras and (less commonly) a couple Lexus models, and the RB wasn’t available in ANYTHING Nissan sold here. While inarguably great engines that can make a lot of power, they’re expensive grey imports that relatively few mechanics know what to do with. When the cars these engines came in started reaching the 25 year mark (the Federally-mandated minimum age for most grey imports), prices shot through the roof. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to build one unless it’s going in the car it came from or a car that can easily accept it. Meanwhile, you’ve got the oft-overlooked supercharged 3.8L that’s still littering junkyards across North America. GM put versions of the 3.8L in everything from minivans, to higher-spec versions of my Grand Prix and the Monte Carlo, to the little Buick Reatta, with a supercharger available on several of them. It even ended up in some Holden models, which I suspect is why you’re familiar with it. Maybe it can’t make as big of power as some of those other engines, but it’s cheap, makes healthy enough numbers, and is compact enough to fit in that Fiero he was looking at and other smaller cars. You don’t even need to make room for an intercooler or anything because it’s supercharged rather than turbo. To fit even a naturally-aspirated Barra in that Fiero (a transverse rather than longitudinal application), you’d probably have to cut a ton of the body away and widen the frame.
      Anyway, it really is a shame, because I love straight sixes in general and I’d like to build a Falcon Ranchero. A Barra would make a lot of sense for that car.

    I cried a little when you was talking about putting the 4.8 in the mustang in the last video. I understand it and all. I know the 302 isnt up to todays standards stock wise but id rather see you guys get another v8 explorer. Swap the motor, use the T5 and get a 8.8 rear and use the ring and diff from the Explorer since the 7.5 rear sucks. Can do a junlkyard 5 lug swap also.Just my opinion but great channel regardless. Keep up the good work

    You should replace the oil main line gsket wich is under the timing cover. Early models od 350 and do on have a lot od problems with those. There is a replacement direct from nissan which is reinforced. Allsow check a guy from poland on YT. His chanell is jagodowy tv. He is collaborating with coobcio garage who is building and modyfiing a lot od VQ. He has his own oil pan spacers and so on. Continue to do what you doing you are great. I'd love to see more projects from M.A. Tv. Greatings from Poland.

    swap a fierro with a 3.5l LX9 or more recent GM 3.6L, the 3.8 are reliable for sure but they lack power. The LX9 is around 200hp 220 lb-ft NA OHV (I have had one with my first car a 04 chevrolet malibu was nice)and the 3.6l LLT if I remember the code, is around 300hp but its a direct injection with vvt and DOHC

      The supercharged 3.8 is bulletproof as it gets and is 260hp stock and smaller supercharger pulley , spacers e85 and few other little things with tune and your making way over anything close you usually find in them.. I have a single turbo grand prix GTP and before this I maxed absolutely everything I could outta the supercharged setup and it was a fun daily now its a little much for everyday use

      Yeah hard to argue with 240/260hp and 280ft/lbs stock (97-03 were 240hp) 04 up made 260. I miss my gtps but what i dont miss is changing 4t65e's in the driveway every couple months. They dont like anything over 300whp when they're stock.

    • @ItsJust2SXTs
      @ItsJust2SXTs 3 года назад

      @@sbcdime1 easy to argue, comparing a NA engine to an already supercharged engine, also the 3.5l a 60 degree unlike the 90 degree of the 3.8. strip the supercharger of the 3.8 and you got 200hp with gen 3. LZ4, is the same has the LX9, goes to 220hp with VVT

    • @sbcdime1
      @sbcdime1 3 года назад

      @@ItsJust2SXTs lets be realistic tho. What real aftermarket is there for the 60 degree v6? Like none. The 60 degree may be more rev happy but the 3.8 either sc or na produces more tq. Remember horsepower is the result of torque and even so you take the na 3.8 and install a zzp intake mani and its making quite a bit more power and tq than the 60 degree. Then for shits and giggles a stage 1 camshaft (yes the smallest aftermarket) and things get downright unfair in this comparison.

    3800 suck, good for 250hp but given rod bolts and very conservative timing with e85 they might make 350hp.
    I know you guys are in the USA but Barras do 400hp happily on petroleum stock.
