More like a bunch of dousche bags that don't want to help, just make fun of people. I'm done with this site. Almost every post the first couple responses are people just telling you how stupid you are

Just snag a vortech kit and run it on your stock block. Plenty of fun, streetable power to be had with a little room to grow if you want to up the power later on.
Turbo on a built block = $$$ and that's just the engine. What about the rest? Do you have the newer CD009 transmission? Clutch/Flywheel to handle the power? What about suspension and brakes to keep the thing on the road? At LEAST a factory VLSD? Cooling upgrades? Methanol? What about tuning? You on stock wheels and tires?
As you can see, there are tons of variables that come into play when you talk about that kind of power. I'm looking to go for a vortech on my stock block, but I've still got plenty of things in line to get my Z prepared (up to my standards) for the extra power.
Best of luck

I really like the Procharger setup, too. The only bad thing is that the oil for the SC is self-contained and has to be changed out every 6,000 miles. You also have to use Procharger's oil and can't use just any regular oil.

We just make fun of dream builds, rice builds, and people who want to be spoon fed. How hard would it have been for the OP to spend 30 minutes reading info in the Forced Induction section?

I'm in the middle of a GReddy TT build and here's what I've paid so far.
Complete GReddy TT 18g kit with intercooler $6k new
Engine parts (pistons, rods, FRS, injectors, etc.) ~$3k new
Engine machining (including valve job), re-assembly, and balancing $2.7k
Eibach coilovers $600 new
Shopping around does wonders. I've bought all of my parts (besides my injectors) from vendors and they're all name brand and brand new. You don't need $15k for just a built block like other people were saying, but it does take a lot of time, research, and money.

Like I said, people will troll on you or give the response you won't like. Just try to get along. And hopefully at the end you will get your answers. Don't let it bother you man. Good luck!

However, you can be an idiot and still know how to read and comprehend.
If you're too dumb to comprehend the matter at hand, then you shouldn't be doing what you're doing.
Plain and simple.
By the way, its spelled "douche".

I know it's not, but it still isn't anywhere near $15k for a longblock lol. Unless you buy Cosworth shortblock, Cosworth heads, and fully dress it with brand new OEM accessories bought at retail price. I wasn't talking about labor, tuning, etc. :P

go to any forum and ask one of the 1000 questions that are asked 2-3 times a week and you will get the same response. you honestly expect to be spoon fed? why are we going to use OUR time so you dont have to spend 2 minutes searching to find all the information asked? pretty much your saying "**** you guys my time is more important then yours" and you expect to get a warm reception to that? thats a bigger douchebag move then anything we say so yah course we are going to tell you to **** off. if someone came on with something that hasnt been covered a million times they would receive a much better response.
for instance if i started a thread about a secondary nitrous/meth quick spool fuel system engaged with the anti lag i guarantee you there would be a large amount of interest and actual decent responses(i wont though because its not my idea its something i was reading on the turbo forums.)
bottom line is if the op cant help himself theres nothing we can do for him and even if we help him if he cant use a search button then he is getting in WAY over his head.

I don't which one I find more entertaining, the dumb a$$ op who comes on a 350Z forum asking if anyone has a turbo or the idiot who piggybacks on him to say what he has to say about the forum.

OP you won't get help on this subject. You don't have the knowledge to do this. You are severely under estimating the money it takes. You can love your car all you want, it won't pay for $10K rebuilds AFTER your built motor craps out it something happens, and it always will.
Yeah, a very powerful car is fun. It's what you ***** imagine and MORE. It also turns the passion you have into a labor of love, and will dry the wallet quickly. It pushes everyone to the extreme, thats why most FI members are "newer"
My suggestion if you want to keep on loving the car...don't build it.

I am very surprised of the sincere response! Can't believe you didn't tell him to kill himself lol.
