4 YEARS of owning a Q50 3.7

[@zips.]

been watching you every since i got my q50, your the reason i got a 3.7 instead of a 3.0t

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Awesome man!

[@GODiscomingsoonagain]

Power and tuning 3.0t the way to go reliable 3.7 gas saving go hybrid even do the hybrid is faster than 3.7 and save gas. Hybrid have more torque than the redsport 400

[@jeanca0426]

I had the 3.7, now I have the 3.0 redsport. I will tell you, I am having a lot of fun Right now with this car. 3.7 take too much money to make it fast, but is really reliable.

Nice to see a im out here in Orlando myself, dont have a Q50 i got a G37 sedan.

You were the reason I bought my q50 and then I ended up selling it about a year later. I still have my 350z so I got rid of it and bought a 2022 tacoma. I plan on buying a 370z nismo eventually but buying a house is now #1 on my list. lol Sadly it's almost impossible to buy a house in my area thanks to the way things are right now. Sucks...

Had my 3.7 Q50s for a year now, just about to go FBO E85 and saving up for the carb legal TT kit by EAC. It ain’t cheap but I want to keep my Q since the aftermarket is huge and boost it for that torque. Just needa do a vr trans swap down the road if I want more torque but this is my only option b/c CA sucks for mods

[@masonrockenstein620]

Looking at maybe getting a Q50 3.7 or G37. Are the Q50’s more reliable than the G37’s or are they about the same?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I would say generally the same but the Q is likely lower miles and certainly not as old obviously. The Q also does not have the gallery gaskets issue the Gs can have.

Hi Speed Cultures, I recently got a 2015 Q50 3.7 for my first car I just turned 16 and with that being said I want to have your custom SCS catback on my car but do you know if it will pass emissions and inspection because as a young kid it cab get expensive having to pay the shop to swap out your exhaust 😂😂😂

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It depends on your state laws. It is just a catback system, but is technically designed for test pipes to sound like it does in the video. Test pipes will not pass emissions

[@chucknas2420]

@@SpeedCultureStudios awesome but I wasn’t planning on test pipes just the cat back since it should pass in MA they have strict laws lol thank you for your help.

[@markhadden353]

I’ve been thinking about getting a Q50 for my next vehicle. Is it make a difference to buy the 3.7 rather then the 3.0T? Which one is better in your opinion for someone who never owned one before? Myself I’m not really looking to make a ton of power, whatever it can get me with a couple bolt-ons and a tune

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Look at my 3.0t vs 3.7 videos. There’s a lot to that question

[@markhadden353]

@@SpeedCultureStudios okay I watched some of those videos after watching this video and asking this question. And I think I’m gonna look into a 2015 3.7 as I’m not looking to make a ton of power. Only thing I would like is maybe like you said intake, test pipes, exhaust, a tune, lowered suspension, & wheels & tires. I do like the 2019 sport 3.0t but I’ll probably just start with the 2015 3.7 and maybe a couple years down the road if I want more power then I’ll upgrade. As I said I’ve never really owned cars before I’m more of a pickup truck type guy but would like a bigger car then my current 2011 Mazda3. Sorry to ramble on thank you for answering my question and I like your videos & channel keep of the great work and have a great day

Man.. why didnt you go turbo when you had your q? Would have been GREAT content

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Was not worth the headache. Rear mount was really the only option and very few to choose from-and everyone was really struggling to make them work. 10k+, super long wait times, and a trans that couldn’t hold it anyway. Wasn’t willing to put $15,000+ and over a year of waiting into it.

Vr30 transmission for the win🤣

[@CforClairvoyant]

3.0t is better for easy power. 450tq on a tune with 3.0t is crazy tbh. That's almost 3x the amount of 3.7. I think if you care mostly about reliability, sound, and just the cheaper option, VQ all day. But VR30 is for people who actually wanna have a fast car with minimal amount of money spent imo.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I think your math is a little off-3x a 3.7 would be over 1,000 hp but yes, easier to make more power in any turbo car.
