True very true, I am just getting ready for turbo but some parts must go and I will lose some $$ on them but oh well that is life. I want to build the engine 1st then buy turbo kit, I dont want to go boom.NA is fun but you always want more after you get the bug, just my opinion.

Doh! didn't think of that, thank you.


I'd rather go NA mods first til they run out since it's reliable and there's no turbo lag. When the time comes and I have more money than I know what to do with, IT's TURBO TIME!

If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't have dropped $36K+ on a New ZR. I would have Dropped about $15-$20K on a Decent Used coupe one and Threw an SC or ST on it.

Remember this....you will NEVER get money back on mods. If you plan on turning this into a totally different car (turbo, etc), plan on keeping it for a long time. Also plan on always having to fix or tweak something. Remember, also, that modding is a hobby. The PROCESS of searching, shopping, installing, driving, etc are ALL part of the enjoyment. If you saved for an FI system, you would have missed out on much of the process for all that other time. Even with FI, you would eventually get used to the power level, then want more. It never stops.

I hear you.... theres no such thing as too much power!... I want FI because I havent done it before... but you can only have soo much power, then what? The max speed limit on the freeway is only 70mph

That is what the track is for.

I got my popcharger at $1K miles lol.. Ive been driving so fast lately because I just want to hear it scream. I do notice an increase acceleration. Not much though.

If you want a track car, FI is not the way to go. Max out your NA mods, add an oil cooler, lighten everything as much as you can. You will have a phenomenal track car. Bottom line is that the Z just isn't the best platform for really high power. To really have that much power and have it useable, you need all-wheel-drive and a bullet proof engine (e.g. the Supra 2JZ or Audi 2.7TT) What an FI Z is good for is for a killer rush when you drop from 4th to 3rd and nail the throttle. That's fast enough not to lose traction. But to do it right, you will need to build almost a whole new car, and one that will need constant attention, fixing, tweaking. If that's what you want to do, by all means, go for it and have fun with your project, but know what you are getting yourself into.

Personally, I believe the Z represents a perfectly balanced sports car of MODERATION. It isn't the best at any one thing, but does everything very well at a reasonable price. Enjoy it for what it is. Don't upset the balance. Just my opinion.
