just wondering if anyone has seen any 0-60 mph times for the 350z after it has been turbo charged or super charged with say a greddy, hks , vortech or others ????? thanks

have a friend that has tt z...the z has NO traction whatsoever=/..maybe with some drag radials..but we havent done his yet

Brandon@Forged

This is a very good thread. Never seen anyone post 0-60 times before. I'd be interested in seeing what some of the F/I guys have to say.

You need slicks to get that type of power to the ground effectively. My gues would be about stock on stock tires....now 1/4 mile and rolling start is a different story.

so 0-60 time would not improve with a turbo or a supercharger if you dont actually have slick tires or drag radials?

JThrilla

I don't know a ton about turbos and superchargers, but it's my understanding that a supercharger will kick in before a turbo. A twin turbo might work better for the 0-60 time since the turbo itself is smaller and takes less energy to get it spinning.

I guess my question is if 5-6 seconds is enough time for a turbo or SC to kick in or not?

dude a good driver can pull 6 stock....initial d on here did it on his gtech...i'll ask him and i'll correct myself if im wrong..

I have seen stock going 5.4 secs, I think hes talking about the turbo or supercharger begining to give power before 5 secs. No that I know im just explaining what Jthrilla is saying.

JThrilla

^^Yea, that's what I meant. Can a turbo or SC give power in that amount of time? I would hope that a stock Z could get 0-60 in under 6 seconds. I wouldn't even think it'd take that good of a driver.

A turbo/SC would definitely help 0-60 times if it there is proper traction. You would most like launch the car around, what 4500 rpms? The turbo would definitely be spooled upon launch.

With the proper traction and depending on RWP, I would guess, some would be able to get 5 seconds or under easily. those running the APS TT, with 400+ whp, should be able to nail a 5 sec or under 0-60 (depending on driving skills)

so same question with say toyo tires, a supercharger or a turbocharger would not improve acceleration from 0-60, because of traction?

Zivman

Depend on driver. The car would be more powerfull and yes, your 0-60 times would improve unless you sat and spun the tires.

If you took the time to learn at what RPM to launch and if you learned how to shift into second without losing traction then yes....but it is an art that will take practice.

Your approach will have to change every once in a while depending on how much traction is left on your rubber. (Kind of like sex after an hour with a condom on) sorry just had to.....

Can someone explain what Toyo tires are?

Will the Z let you spin your tires?

Is there any way to find out what the 0-60 time is on an automatic transmission?

EnthuZiast

Listen I know your new BUT its not all about 0-60.

1. 1/4 mile is a much more significant number
2. If all you want is a car that goes 0-60 super fast why are you on a Z website?

Toyo is a tire maker.
Yes you can spin your tires but you may want to take traction control off first Even a V-6 Mustang can spin its tires

Automatic Zs get less power to the wheels so I wouldnt count on it and launching an auto effectively with require manipulation of the brakes/gas pedal.

put the camer 0 degree's on the rear and then you will get better 0-60 times even NA

Please PM me your FI Kits with INSTALLED price. I would be driving down to you guys.

Im leaning towards STillen Stage 2 w/warranty.

Thanks in advance,

from what i understand, vipers get 0-60 times of 3.5-3.8sec but they have 345 tires on the rear. It also has a 3.07 final drive gear ratio which is quite a bit lower than the Z's stock 3.5

315 seems to be the absolute widest you can put on the Z without either major body work or having the tires stick out of the body

i think with similar hp to a viper, wide tires, and the auto's 3.2 final drive, you can get 0-60 times close to a viper, but still not quite as fast.

As long as my future (modded) Z could keep up with an '05 Vette, I'd be happy
