the best engine?

What does the DE / HR stand for?

 

It's just the Nissan designation.

VQ35DE and VQ35HR

 

Supposedly the DE stands for:

D - Dual Overhead Cam

E - Electronic Fuel Injection

 

and the HR for "High Revolution".

 

Not sure how much truth is in that.

I avoided the revup and went for the HR because:

80% of engine components redesigned and strengthened

Larger crank bearings

Reinforced main bearing caps

Breathes better........blah...blah.....

 

I suppose its how you would define "best" really

Thanks, I figured someone would know.

We all know ;)

 

I'm new here. :shrug:

 

Back on point, I guess 'best' is all down to interpretation. If you're talking about something measurable like reliability or power then there are probably statistics somewhere that would close the discussion and that would be no fun at all.

You lose 6ft/lbs but gain 33bhp AND 1000 revs in the HR.

 

You almost certainly won't feel the loss of 2% of overall torque but you probably will feel an increase of 12% in power, and you'll DEFINITELY know about the extra revs!

 

How anyone can make a case for the DE being the better engine is beyond me.

Opinions are like as*holes, ..everyone has one. ;)

At this stage of the game surely all of this is hypothetical, if an engine has not had regular oil changes with the correct oil and been run on 95 RON fuel then it's a ticking bomb anyway. Dan is right to a point but I wouldn't want that horribly high oil consumption that an HR can give.
