Nothing wrong with how the car looks and I'm certainly not complaining about how she looks, but she's in for a rude awakening when that garbage turbonetics kit only pumps out 420 horsepower. But nobody will care anyways because she's hot right
OK I'll admit I am not the most experienced person when it comes to turbos but where do you mount the turbo if you are installing headers? Don't you need an exhaust manifold specifically designed for a turbo unless you are installing a rear mount such as the STS?

That's the way it is though with guys and girls??? She may talk too much about stupid stuff or have the common sense of a peanut but we're willing to forgive all as long as she is hot. Our second brain is the main decision maker.

most single turbo setups on our cars use some kind of y-pipe or collector coming off of both oem style headers where the cats mate up to push exhaust to the turbo. The twin setups usually have a specially designed exhaust manifolds for the turbos.

I am only looking for 500whp for now, maybe next summer i can uprade to a twin turbo setup with fully built heads with cams to go 600whp. but for now im going to use what i got."
It's good to see the "I like to get input but won't take your advice" mentality crosses genders a well...but I guess that is typical for women.
She is using girl math for her pricing. "Well these shoes are 50% off so I can buy 4 pair of them and have more money to buy the shoes I really want at full price later." Save now and do everything at once or just do the turbonetics on the stock block then build later with twins.

All the single turbo kits for the VQ including Turbonetics, PowerLab, BP, Momentum, S & R, STS, etc are designed to connect to the OEM exhaust manifolds. So aftermarket headers are a good mod to improve flow to the turbo on ST setups.
I'm not sure what is going on here lol....what z does she have beceause the one on her Facebook is your z fly350z
Yea I just checked it out fly350z's profile he has pictures of "My wife and toys" and its the same picture and girl as the facebook link so his "friend" is actually his wife maybe?
Lol I wasn't gonna say anything but isn't this Jason's Z? Comming in here hoping for ball swingers was the wrong idea forums are great for information if you need it for ego boost your on your own. This is John w the orange wheels I think those goals may be unrealistic but hopefully you can achieve 500 atleast. Who is doing the build isn't jason deployed? Deff bigger injectors and mayb diff turbo setup if he hasn't already bought it.. But If your building your Z for ragging rights make 400 and tell ppl 600 your call but I can tell you from my stock block before my soon to be built block since my motor just let go 425 is what my setup made and it was more then enough for any Motorsports you may get into. Either way Goodluck enjoy it most importantly research everything and have fun with it. Me n watts ^^ been in the z-g world for a lil time n Lots of research I know speaking for myself if you need any help contact me and I may be able to help either way Goodluck bear/Jason
Ha...I already had a face to face conversation with this dude within 3 minutes he went from Titan swapping his z to throwing greddy twins on it to ls2 swapping it...so who ever is building his car GOOD LUCK lol
