Hey guys im wondering what i should do next to my 06 base z, i have a few bolt ons including nismo exaust, nismo CAI, stillin HFC, kinetix V+ plenum, i am waiting for headers cause im undecided if i wanna turbo or supercharge it, so what im asking for advice on what to do next and if i decide to add some forced induction what road would i be better off on, thanks

 

Twin charge it .... In all honesty figure out HP goals and budget and read on the fi threads more than enough info to help with your decision

 

Any suspension mods yet? If not, I'd do that before going FI. I recommend starting off with sway bars (I like Cusco) and end links (I recommend PowerGrid). Then consider aftermarket suspension arms and coilovers down the road when you are ready or can afford it.

As for FI... I recommend you read this thread first and educate yourself on the basics contained in that thread before seeking opinions from the peanut gallery.

Think about your powerband! For me the decision was easy, how fast do you want the power to come on? A turbo has to spool therefore the power takes time to come on and your biggest gains are high rpm's. A supercharger on the other hand has an even powerband across your rpm's and no need to spool!

 

^ Case in point.

I suggest you also read the thread I recommended to the OP.


OP,
I recommend that you post any FI related questions in the FI section. The members who regularly post in that section tend to be more informed and experienced with FI than a lot of the guys who hang out here in the general Z section. Just make sure to do your research and try to educate yourself the best you can first, so that you don't get flamed for asking a NOOB question that's already been asked and answered thousands of times.

 

Limited Slip Differential. I need one with a retuned NA HR on 285 rear tires. If you go FI without one you will hate yourself. I hear quaife is great, that's what i'll be getting come spring.

 

^ Good point. That would be a good mod prior to going FI and quite frankly, a good mod even if staying NA. I have the stock VLSD for now, but plan to upgrade to the OS Giken LSD.

 

Great advice and needed for FI, you can also start with cooling mods.

 

no suspension upgrades, i was thinking of doin that next but was curious about any other little things i could do to gain a littl more hp, i know with bolt ons you wont gain much, and i think im gonna hold off on FI and see how far i can go with just NA

 

I can tell you how far, haha, not far at all... Us fully built NA guys are hanging around the 300rwhp mark. Your best bet is to set your car up to get ready for FI (suspension, brakes, diff) and by then you will have a better informed decision to go with turbo or supercharger, there is a huge wealth of info on this site. Don't be afraid to search

 

sell me your nismo muffler and midpipe and get a real exhaust

 

for headers i would adivse u the stillens! i love mine

 

rimmed up with killers system

 

I'd go with suspension mods or start with FI accessories since you already have a lot of the basic bolt ons.

 

LSD, suspension, then save for boost
