ive been dying to ask this question to fellow Z guys around the nation, i need your honest opinion on NA or TT. everyone tells me NA is more reliable daily driven and on track but i was wondering if i can actually manage lets say a greddy TT kit just boosting the 6 psi and dailydrive that thing please give me feedback thanks folks

 

Go with stillen supercharge....street legal and warrantee and most reliable

 

Even though your question is very specific, you still have some more preliminary quesitons that you have to ask yourself. This thread will help you.

IMO, I'll stay with NA unless you are willing to fork out some serious dough and you have to know what you're doing or else you'll be in a really bad situation.

When I first got my Z I too wanted to TT it but after a year and participating in some AutoX and other events, I find that TT is not what I want.

Juding by the amount of your posts, I'm guessing you're a new Z owner. Give it time, let it sink in and just enjoy your Z as it is for now.

 

i actually had the car for about 2 years but i really never did research on performance, im new to this forum thanks for the link

 

Any time. So what is it that you want your Z to be? For me, I enjoy autoX so I necessary don't need the TT. I wanted my Z to be fast but also to handle corners.

I've also heard too many ppl blown their motors with TT and that scares me.

 

I've heard of people choking on chicken bones. That doesn't stop me from chowing down on the colonels chicken !!! Everything in moderation including boost, and tunning, and you will be ok.

You should do some searching of the forum. All the information you need is here.

turbonetics claims their system is reliable and very street drivable. I am currently saving up my money for that one. I don't race or anything but just want some more power under the hood of my daily driver like many other Z owners. I would say that as long as you get it installed and tuned properly you should be safe.

 

single turbo kits are pretty much the last FI kit you want if you do real racing. The power band though "linear" as people might say it is, well it isn't. A TT kit is going to be more linear, but it's a pretty rediculous thing to have for autox. The ATI or vortech kit are going to be more along the lines what this guy is looking for if not full out NA.

Go N/A... so when I roll up on you I can own your @ss.

...on the street

 

F/I ALL THE way!!! If you don't have the funding, then go with the crawford package, that also is alot of power and speed! But nothing close to F/I baby!!!!

 

not really.. put the right tires and suspension, you can do anything with any kind of reasonable power

 

If you want power, FI is far less expensive in the end. Period.

You should be asking yourself what FI kit you want to go with.

 

If I were you I'd go full bolt ons along with engine management. Get that thing tuned and you should get very close to 300whp. The one thing I miss about NA is that I could throw my car around fairly easy and it was a lot of fun, now I'm just afraid to....like I said before its more a straightline machine now.

 

zman, what FI kit do you have?

 

APS ST 400whp/400lb/ft

 

Usually building an N/A car will cost close to the same, or even more than a good FI configuration. It just depends on how far you want to go. If you're talking about basic N/A mods (exhaust, headers) then obviously it will be way cheaper. If you're talking about

As far as reliability, that all depends on the product and installer. Oh, and don't forget maintenance as well.

 

i'm hoping the vortech kit won't kill the confident steering the Z has. So far a lot of reviews seem to back that up. Turbos in general seem to be more oriented for straight line (IMO at least and from what I've read), but I'm sure someone will jump in here and say turbos helped them go through corners faster, bla bla bla

 

Turbo's just good for straight linedriving?

All the competitive cars in IMSA GTP, and Formula 1 (when it was legal) all had turbo's.... blah blah blah.

Yeah... Formula 1 and GTP no turning there.

Not to mention the 911 Turbo. Ferrari F40/50, etc, etc, etc.

well ok, you said

I said
HUGE difference

And I meant that in reference to the 350Z, not every car for all time. Cars built from the ground up with turboing in mind are going to have a lot more provisions for traction and downforce than a 350Z will.

did your turbo make you faster in the corners?
