I have been driving an 04 350Z since Nov 05 and the only thing I had done with it was some speakers and an AEM cold air filter until now, I'm back in Iraq and have some extra cash. I recently bought a Borla True dual exhaust, Borla headers, downpipe, Clutchmaster Stage 3 clutch kit and Flywheel. I'm trying to get max power without a turbo for now, but I don't know what other parts need to be replaced with these upgrades, HELP!

 

plenum spacer = one of the better power adding mods you can do

 

The title of this thread is remarkably unrelated to its content...

 

Definitely invest in that. May want to look into an intake manifold also. However, I don't know if a reflash of the ECU would be required with the above listed mods including plenum spacer and manifold.

Ooooh, Z parts from Iraq!

Roof-mounted RPG launchers FTMFGDW!

 

lmfao

 

bro, i thought you were going to ask us if we wanted any RPGs, AKs, or SVDs.

booooo!!!

 

negative on reflash being needed, ur sorta new here so dont get pwnd by intrawebz

Baisc N/A mods are plenum spacer, testpipes, exhaust... maybe poop charger, and then ems.... no need to messs around with plugs, pulleys, headers, and stay away from ssv...

 

Return your headers, and focus on some sort of ems.

 

Central20 3.9 gearing!!! Since you're staying N/A.

 

you wasted your money on the borla headers, they add 0 hp. If you didn't install them yet sell them and get something better

 

I wouldn't waste money on any more NA exclusive mods if you might possibly go FI someday. You won't get much hp for your dollar this way.

 

What's N/A? What header do you suggest if I get rid of the Borla? What does EMS do? These sound like dumb questions, but I blow **** up and get blown up for a living, trying to learn something new.

 

how much did your Crawford Headers add? And I've been reading about these Pulse Plugs, did they work out for you? Were they worth it?

 

N/A = naturally aspirated (no turbo, no supercharger)

If your staying N/A, there isn't much of a benefit in getting headers at all. Keep them stock.

 

aww...

 

So what is that headers do? They only work when you have a turbo or supercharger?

 

I'm not speaking from experience here but from what i have read dozens of times in other threads is that there are no substantial gains from headers on a N/A motor, therefore making it not worth the money. Also, Installation is way too much of a hassle for the little amount that it might give you.

 

So either don't waste your time wiyh headers, or get a supercharger?

 

establish a budget for yourself, and goals that you are looking to achieve - from there the parts decisions tend to make themselves

if you have not installed the Borla headers yet sell them on ebay...they are no better than stock for making power
