Z1 POWER PACKAGE QUESTION
I haven't looked too deep into it, but how're the Z1 power packages, and does it increase performance in your Zs'? About how much power does each of these bring and would this be preferred with a turbo kit? I did see that a lot of people do get more parts when they turbo their car but I wasn't too sure if these are required.

WHAT I'M THINKING RN (I'm very new so please be constructive criticism only, haha)

I was thinking if these do increase the performance of my car, I'll just go for a stance/exhaust build on it rather than going for a turbo build. Thoughts? I'm currently torn between the Vortech kit and the REV9 kit since I heard it was reliable as well. I want to make sure I don't half-*** my build and get **** parts for the turbo, exhaust, and suspension setup.

POSSIBLE BUILD IDEA (Around 10k budget)

Stock parts but proven supercharger kit and tune
1.) Vortech V-3 Supercharger (or used higher end turbo kit) along with Z1 Uprev tune (or another tune, suggestions?) (idk how much over budget if I go for this setup)

Little bit more power along with Exhaust
2.) REV9 Turbo build with an aftermarket Tune along with upgrading the exhaust system, and having a little bit of cash left over. (for this one I have a list of cheap mods that I want to do as well with leftover money)

Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

 

I'm not a fan of Z1 intakes/exhausts. If NA do headers exhaust, intake of choice and manifold of choice.
Tune and cams as necessary.
Boost, just go basic unless you are loaded, once you get into big numbers you need $2000+ in fuel mods.
Just get like a basic bolt-on supercharger or turbo, stay around 350-400whp and be happy with it.

 

Yeah! I’m just planning to get the car around 350-375 horsepower, nothing crazy. Also with excess money (if any) I’m gonna get some fuel mods as well. I’m hoping for the best and maybe hit near 390-400???

 

Vortech. Best bang for the buck with what you're trying to do. Don't bother with a cheap turbo kit like Rev9. More problems than you want to deal with to make right.

 

Not sure if you have a DE or an HR, but look into the kits available from Unknown Performance (https://unknownperformanceusa.com/). I believe they're run by our very own @bealljk here on the forums, and it's what I'm looking into currently for my HR.

 

I ended up leaving UP about a 18months ago. Was having problems balancing my work life / personal life. Reilly really was the driving force behind the company and I was holding it back - I couldnt run the business w/Reilly and maintain my professional career. I also moved and the best place to run the business is down in colorado springs. Reilly is doing really big things and they are a great outfit with a ton of potential. Reilly and I are still buds and we hang out at the track, chat all the time, and help each other.

 

Just call Z1, ask for Jon, their tuner. He'll ask you questions about your budget and goals. He's been there since
they started, sold me my Enkeis back in the day,, tuned my DE in 2020, super-personable.
If I can't/won't do something on my Z they are the only ones that touch it.

thanks so much for the suggestions. I’ll be calling Z1 as soon as I can and I’ll also make sure to check out unknown performance. This means a lot to me. Thanks guys!

 

That rear mounted turbo kit looks insane. Would that work with a supercharger?

 

Rear mounts are a dime a dozen. No, because superchargers require belts.

 

if he wanted to twin charge yes it would.

 

All for $10K? I gotta see this!

 

Wasn't OP who made the comment.

 

This is fair. Yes a twin charge setup would for sure work. In my head I was thinking he was asking about putting a supercharger in the back as the rear mount lol
