350Z's max Horse Power
I have heard that there are 800Hp modified Toyota Supras out there (not sure if it's with the original motor or not).
What is the maximum Hp that the 350z ORIGINAL motor can endure (in theory)? ..... Also, what modifications will it take to get there?

I am not an expert, but based on what I have read here and from some tech sources, I'd estimate that the stock internals could probably handle up to the 450-500 crank HP range without greatly affecting reliability.
That would be pushing the limit, I believe. And while that may be reliable power, the longevity of your motor will suffer the higher you push the horsepower.

Supra Internals in stock form won't take much more over 500 hp.. anything over that is lots more work and $$$.

If I'd have know this obviously factual statement, I would have never sold mine. 500rwhp is pushing the limits of the Supra's stock fuel system, and that's with 104 octane.

uuhh...the fuel system statement was referring to the 500hp figure. Read what i quoted. I then go on to explain that the engine itself will take well over 800hp. And the stock 6-spd will handle every bit of that with an upgraded clutch. Just ask Titan.

Does anyone know what sized injectors the Z has?

It has been my personal experience that Supras can and will handle as much as 700rwhp with stock internals. You mix Greddy T88 single tubo kit, HKS cams, bigger injectors with fuel rail, Vein Pressure, Greddy exhaust, no catalytic converter, greddy intercooler and a triple disk HKS clutch, in your mix of go-fast goodies and you will get huge amounts of HP. There is a catch, you need to run ALWAYS 104+ octane, PURE, no mixes. And the transmission... bullet proof...

Hi!
This is my 1st. post in this forum. I'll be getting my hands on a 350 blue very very soon, I like this forum... very informative!

New question....Optimum Hp :)
Congrats Javi. Welcome to the dark side.
I guess the question is now what's the maximum Hp you can upgrade to without reducing the stock motor's life? I want to make my car faster but not reduce its' lifespan at the same time

Boomer--curious and seeking information about modifying the Z of course. I'm not interested in Supras, just the 350Z.

Since that's the issue here, or might be, where do you stop, and why do you stop?

so you do the math and figure out what could you at least achieve with the 350 engine...

aftermarket tuners such as Greedy, June
350Z should hopefully handle well over 450-500whp--but it being such high compression--that will takes it toll as far as FI goes....you;ll probably have to rip those pistons out for some good ol' lower comp pistons if turbo's which is about the only way to get there unless Crate NISMO race motor!
SO I think you would have to do a few mods to make sure that a 500RWHP 350Z to make it drive and live right! NO doubt--it ain't no Supra motor--but close enough.
OFf Topic (SUPRA)-that ***** will handle it all no prob!Fuel sys is Great and damn motor internals are barley ever touched except maybe cams and cam gears if that?Stock Clutch is awesome if it's brand new but you just might "Crank walk" w/ certain aftermarket Clutches and the TRD one caused that on my Friends MKIV!

There's actually quite a few Supra's upward of 7-800hp on stock internals. Craig Paisly raced one for years before he built a Tacoma (don't remember his website offhand, Google it ;P).
These guys are not far from me and have built some pretty amazing cars. They used to have a video of a red Supra that dynoed at 1035hp on stock internals.
It's really not that uncommon for a 800hp Supra to have a stock bottom end.

I WONDER?
I wonder if somehow we could fit a Supra Turbo transmission in our 350Z, so if some of us want to bore our engine and turbo it, the tranny can hangle it! HMMMMM?
