Ok, so I have had my Z about 2 months now. It came with an aftermarket intake and I'll be putting an exhaust on it within the next few weeks. Beyond that though I have a few questions. I want more power, and I was looking at getting the motordyne plenum spacer and mrev2, and then purchasing the uprev reflash. I've done the research an found that these are the best bang for your buck mods. My question though is...I plan on going twin turbo in the next couple years (whenever I get the money). So would it be foolish to buy these things that will only add at most 20-30 hp. Should I just resist the urge and wait to go full out with twin turbo...or would these mods still be beneficial after going TT? Basically it comes down to I don't want to buy anything that I will be "undoing" later. So which should I go for and which should I skip on?

well look, NA mods are a waste, save up and FI...

put an exhaust on, its good fun till u get ur TT and the intake u already have should suffice till u upgrade... on the other hand, u can put on some nice wheels or a sound system, cause these add to the enjoyment of ur car, and still can stay after u upgrade, Good Luck,,,

Wheels are a definate need. I plan on upgrading those next spring. I originally had the mind set of:
I'll do exhaust, spacer and mrev, and reflash this summer.
Wheels next spring. And then Twin turbo probably the summer after next...once I get some of my debts paid off. But I started to think that maybe the mods planned for this summer would just be a waste. I'm thinking maybe I should go with just some things for the interior and exterior instead. Getting it looking sharp, rather than just marginally bumping up the hp. Just wanted some second opinions as I'm still unsure.

FI = more power, but less reliability.
NA = less power, but more reliability.
Both cost about the same when all is said and done.

Take your pick.

A spacer and exhaust will add power to a tt setup so why not add those now.

For anyone that really wants to feel the effects of N/A mods and see how much HP they are really putting out, you need to invest in this

Go turbo or go home man. I started off with NA mods and once I get my car paid off next October, Im going FI.. If you do NA mods just do something that will be beneficial when you go turbo ie Exhaust, Test pipes, spacer etc.

NA mods FTL
Don't even get an exhaust unless you plan on running a high flow FI exhaust and loose power in the mean time.
I recommend just buying some test pipes for now to get some sound. Exhaust later for when you go FI.
Better yet for now you should focus on things you will keep. Body kit, and the most important mod of all, rims. Also, don't forget suspension isn't very cheap depending on what you want out of it. Big brakes for your TT would be good to buy in advance.

Also you can get a utec and tinker with the tuning and then use it once you go FI. Maybe get test pipes to compliment your utec tuning.

You are talking about couple years later, let's talk about FI later. Just do it whatever you want to put go ahead and feel it. If you stay on my350z forum, you can not stop mods on your car lol.

If you want a good balance of power and reliability, you can look at supercharging it.
