Trade your car in for a stock or lightly modded Z then put a turbo on that it will be cheaper in the long run.

I have a feeling your going to buy this car. Let us know what was wrong if you do.

 

- OP, ignore all the F/I members that are telling you to stay away. They are all just haters that don't want anymore F/I VQs on the streets. Buy this car and just have fun with it.

In for the youtube/streetfire links of OP crushing unsupecting V8s .

 

Pretty sure that you don't want this car. But 7-13k later when your broke and have to sell because you way upside down. Recall these postings...

 

no!!!..bad kit and u would most likely need a motor, might as well buy a stock one with good motor and do it right the first time and save yourself headaches

 

Well I could not get in touch with who I think was the owner. What I did find out was the car was fine when it was traded in. Someone took it home and when it came back the issue occured. From what I was told the boost controller was set @ 18psi when it was set to 8psi at first. So I think this will be helpful.

 

haha, stock block with a turbonetics kit set at 18psi, lmao..do not buy this car like i said u will need a motor and ur still stuck with a shitty kit that prolly has a bad turbo also to go along..

 

Well it was @ 8psi until someone took it home

 

Do i detect sarcasm?

 

- just laughing at the OP starting this thread and every F/I regular has told him to just walk away from this car, but the OP is still trying to justify why its a good deal.

OP just wants someone to tell him to buy this car, since he will probably do it anyway and put a rod through the block on the way home. Since the OP knows so much more than everyone else, we should just give him the green light and let him enjoy the car for the 5 minutes it runs before BOOM.

+1, issue affirmed in Cass007 Favor

 

How did the 350Z turbo work out?

 

i never got it. but it did eventualy sell to some guy.

 

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! There is a God. j/k j/k

Seriously, Currin you did the best thing. I can only imagine the headache the buyer now has to go through to correct the potential dangers that await

You're probably going to luck out even better afterall. How's your Z search coming along?

 

run..........

 

Count your blessings. If you had bought that car, you would have been getting into way more money than you think, even if you're uncle did the work at a discount.

Always remember, performance parts for Nissan VQ motors cost a whole lot more than performance parts for Chevy V8's. Sad, but true.

As others have said, take a look at some of the cars being sold in the forum. Better yet, buy a new 370Z and twin turbo it. You could get well north of 400 rwhp if properly done, depending on how hard you want to push it (and what dyno it's being measured on).

Another option, dare I say in this forum, is the Camaro SS. Twin turbo that puppy and you could get even more power to the ground (and probably with less cash).
