Hi, everyone, I am new in this forum and I am interested in SC a 350z
I am sorry about my poor English as I am an international student from Hong Kong.

Lets start my story.
I got a s2000 and keep it till now.
And I feel I am enough with the wind noise of s2000 and wanna get a 100k+ miles 350z again.( probably stock or just some bolt on)

my plan is making a 400-450 whp 350z, and I hope to hear some suggestions from u guys
All I learnt is from the vortech thread and ZCG blogs

My set up in plan:
vortech tuner kit
DW 600cc Injectors
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
2.87 pulley
colder spark plug

Koyo Radiator V-Core 36mm
Stillen Oil Cooler

which one I need or all? because I have no idea about if a 36mm radiator is enough cooling for daily drive

others ( those are I dun know should I have it
stage0 FRS
water/ meth injection
UPrev maf gt

At the end, I have read 53 pages of the vortech thread
And I have no idea wt ECU I should go for?
AEM? unichip? HKS Fcon? uprev tuner?

Thank you very much.
Should I order part from vendor directly or through ZCG??
Thank you everyone gonna give me some comments and suggestions.

 

36mm is fine . buy everything listed then comeback . also uprev

/thread?

lol

 

thank you.
That helps me on how much I need for a budget on this plan.
So, I just need the 36mm for cooling, not necessary for oil cooler?

the thread :https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...questions.html

Thank you very much 2004black350z

 

If you just go to a few vendors sites. You can get all the pricing there. Why do we have to do that work for you? Idk if 9k will be enough. Look up the price of a used Z. I highly doubt it. Good luck

 

oh sorry,,,I dun mean to want u guys to work for me.
I just wanna ask about how to make a 400-450 whp setup.

I really didtnt mean to want u guys to work for me.

 

For daily driving and a non-tracked car you don't really NEED an oil cooler or larger radiator. I used stock radiator up to 507hp with no cooling issues at the drag strip.

If you have the money to spend they are nice things to have but not needed for the build.

For ecu/tuning you need to find a local tuner and use what he recommends since he will be the one tuning it. Uprev works great. You will need an upgraded MAF (such as GT maf) if you want 400hp with the uprev.

All the other parts look good.

 

100k mi Z isn't going to last very long at >400whp. Make sure you get one without any oil burning issues, it'll only be 10x worse with the blower.

 

Thank you very much.
Which mean those FRS, water/meth injection, MAF are necessary for making 400+ whp?

Do you guys should I add some more for making 400+?
except some bolt since I think I would get them.

I see, so what mileage u would prefer?
since I was just thinking to hv a less expensive one and have more budget to build.

BTW, for intake, u guys would prefer a Kinetix Plenum or a spacer?
the plenum http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix...t_package.aspx

I am sincere to hear from you guys.
Thank you very much.

 

50kmi or less but that's just me...it depends on the past life and condition of the motor.

Intake spacers / manifolds don't do much if anything for stock block boost. When you're in the 600+whp range then you can worry about the intake manifold.

 

Maf is only needed if you use Uprev.

Meth injection is not needed.

return fuel system isn't needed but a simple CJM stage 0 will make smaller injectors work to their full potential. A single walbro 255 fuel pump and DW 600cc injectors will be enough for 400hp though.

 

however, I think it is not that easy to find a 50k less miles z for now,
is there any other way to work with it? like rebuilt?
(but, I know nothing about rebuilding )
cause I saw some 03 track ed. with 14X k miles selling at gd price


So, I can keep stock on intake part when making 400+?
no need to upgrade anything to improve the air flow?

Oic, so basically I dun need them unless I use uprev.
btw, isnt it more safe in booting and more power by using meth injection?
( known in aem chip, Lowers Inlet Temps, Decreases Chance of Detonation)

Thank you, you two are very kind and nice
