Stock block reliability Turbocharged
First off hello to everyone! I am interested in getting into a turbocharged 350z, preferably single. However, I have a few questions that need clarification. The car will be my Daily driver, but I would like to achieve 400whp+. How does the stock block perform with a single turbo as far as reliability is concerned? I am trying to sell my e46 m3 to purchase a 350, but want to make sure this is the right decision. Does the transmission in the Z last long with 400hp? Any information will be appreciated.

Depends on what type of Z your getting. If you get one with the HR motor your looking at about 500hp on a stock block, but if you get a DE your looking at about 400hp. Be sure to change the clutch though if you turbo charge your car though. If you get the HR I highly recommend that you get the ATS clutch kit because of the clutch problems the HR's are getting.

Stock block DE with 463hp/415tq (mustang Dyno) over here.. **** load of 1/4mile passes and just finished a full day of 4 sessions 25-30min each road course at homestead speedway! Been boosted about 2 years. 1 of the few that actually use the car and not just wash/garage it..
