Well i took the big jump to nissan and purchased a used 04 350z. i am coming for the tt supra world and would like to keep this car N/A only. could anyone provide a upgrade path! i have already priced out nismo headers and exhaust! but need more info on other companies and parts. I am not going to FI this car. looking for more of a streetable car which can hold perfomance levels close to a stock 911 porsche. thanx for the help and i look forward to the many of new friends on this for um.

 

I don't think you'll be able to keep up with an 911 NA. Looks like you are going to have to take 1-2 seconds off the 0-60 time.

your right! that was a awsome link. if not keep up at least 9/10 of the preformance! where should i start then!

 

twin turbo is still very streetable I run my car everday about 80 miles round trip

 

i ran my supra tt for a few years! like turbo but wonder what impact my be on engine with n/a compression! what was the cost for twin turbo, install and tune if i could ask?

 

$ depends on what kit you buy and from who you buy it and who installs it. Just start by looking on-line for different turbo manufactures. Everyone has there own preferrence on brands, yet for kits the order I would choose them is:

1. Twin Turbo
2. Single Turbo
3. Supercharger

Note: Turbo must have a bov (love that sound)

As far as impact on your car, that depends on:
1. Boost (can get up to 9psi safely if tuned correctly, can go higher with other mods)
2. The Kit you buy
3. Your tune

Many people - including myself have FI on a NA engine and have no problems. There is a sticky with all of us that have FI on a 350Z. There is also a sticky with blown engines w/ FI on a 350Z. Read them and then decided.

 

THX for the information! What kind of RWHP can i achieve with just bolt-ons and not going FI?

 

One nice tool to use as a baseline is the Stillen Catalog. They tell you how much gain you can expect with each mod. I would just use this as a baseline and once you decided, than look at all the brands out there for mod X. Not saying you shouldn't go with Stillen, just saying keep your options open.

One last thing, not all mods will give you anything. The new Grassroots Mag talks about a chain of mods to a old Nissan. The new $2 fuel filter made better gains than most of the mods that cost over $500! And they talk about how they got burned by buying on EBay (cost of part was cheep - $175 for a cold air intake, yet shipping was more than the part ~$200).

 

u can expect at most 290rwhp w/ full out NA mods. witht he money u'd spend on getting 290rwhp NA, u can get a TT and tuned on stock motor to 450rwhp. W/ a few more grand, get it built w/ cams and fuel return and expect 550rwhp to what ever u can afford

 

It is possible but buy the parts with the best gains... NOT NISMO haha they just ensure the warranty.

TURBO XS UTEC
Crawford Headers
Jim Wolf Cams / or crawford cams
Crawford plenum
Apexi 3in Exhaust
Helix test pipes
Injen Intake
Ur pulleys
Grounding kit

That will put you at 300rwhp + and should easly run mid to high 12's

 

Welcome and congratulations. How about starting here...https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/50429-new-350z-owners-read-this-before-doing-any-modifications-to-your-z.html.

 

thx everyone for the help! look like this is the site for me and my 350z! i will post some pic of my ride tommorw! hehe

 

Welcome g73421!!

I have N/A mods and my last dyno I was at 276 whp.

My mods are:

Cams
Nismo S Tune headers
Resonated test pipes
Borla duel exhaust
JWT Pop Charger
Unichip piggy back

It was all tuned on a load dyno. I used to have a Kinetix plenum but I took it off, I didn't like the sound the plastic plenum made. But with it on we dyno'd @ 288 whp. Stock '03/'04 6 speed 350Z's dyno @ 219 average whp on the load dyno my Z uses.

 

do you know what these mods did for 0-60 and 1/4 times?

 

Never been to the track.

 

Sorry, but that won't get you 300rwhp. I wish it was true, but from what I have seen 290rwhp is the most you should expect on a good dynojet with the listed parts above.

 

Your wrong.... If you go all out on N/a mods then you can easily eclipse 300rwhp! It will cost you a lot of money but it can be done.

 

From what I have seen, to eclipse 300rwhp on the 287hp VQ you need to up the compression ratio. You might find some dyno that will give you 300rwhp or whatever, but this is my experience with the dynojet near my house. I have seen pretty much every bolt-on and more done to an NA VQ and I have not seen 300rwhp yet on my dyno.

 

This is a great! thanx guyz

 

if you're looking for a grounding kit, take a look at mine when comparison shopping
