Hello everyone ,
I have a 2003 350z and planning on going SC in the next year when I finish paying her off ( Wow Finally ) , with that being said , all the modifications I have done up till now , will benefit me once I go SC. Now what should I do next ?!?! , my modifications are as followed. CAI , Kinetixs V+ , DC Sport headers , 2.5'' Z1 test pipes , custom 2.5'' Y to 3'' single out ( VIbrant Muffler and resonator ) , Light weight pulley set and UpRev ( tuned by john at z1) also getting re-tuned in the next two weeks. I do not need to worry about fuel delivery because the SC kit will come with injectors and fuel pump. What should my next step be ?

any advise or even just your two cents will be GREAT !! Thanks

Advise not sarcasm cux350z lol , as far as cooling goes I may do the pathfinder cooling mod and mishimoto radiator , the vq loves to breath and I was looking at the mrev2 , that plus my V+ plenum I believe would be more efficient then the kinetx s velocity. ?

The VQ also likes to overheat with forced induction, spin tires wildly and fry stock clutches when an extra 150hp is added.

If you plan on going SC quit throwing money at bolt ons. Focus on cooling mods like terrasmak said. We may be sarcastic at times but you got the answer.

Thanks for the info , good point , overheating the vq is one of my biggest worries , the pathfinder cooling mod has shown to be pretty effective in help keeping the ECT down under hard driving ( at least from what my research has shown me ) illl start there and then go with the an aluminum radiator mishimoto or koyo

THIS. Get the radiator if you want, but I don't hear about many SC guys overheating

First step should be to get rid of that light weight crank pulley. It isn't harmonically dampened and can potentially damage your motor, especially when boosted. The stock pulley, ATI, and Fluidampr pulleys are the only crank pulleys available for the VQ that are dampened.

Next, get an oil cooler and an aftermarket radiator. Based on terrasmak's review, I'd go with the Mizu radiator over the Mishimoto.

BTW... Is your trans a 6MT or 5AT?

I would go with the clutch and flywheel that's prob what your gonna need. I have a 2006 350z with vortech and i have never had any issue with overheating. have same mods you have just that my exhaust is dual all the way to the back. what supercharer are you planing on buying?
