Anything else i'm missing?????
Whats up guys.... this is what i've got done to my 05 350Z:
Kinetix HFC Greddy E-Manage AAM Spacer Stillen TD Exhaust JWT Pop Filter Stillen Ground Kit Tune at SGP Racing (Houston) On or around Aug. 15th i will be going back to SGP racing for a JWT Clutch & Flywheel along with a Utec Mangement system. However is their anything else i'm missing here performance wise. I want the help of experienced Z owners and although i've tried to search i never get a clear answer on what parts give good hp gains and which of these are safe for my motor. I"m planning to stick N/A for a while but any ideas on this would be appreciated. Thanks (Flame Suit On) |
the reason why you never get a clear answer is because it's been discussed so many times, most people are just too lazy to even bother. get some headers, that should be about your last mod and then get it tuned. You did the tune a bit too early, but won't cost you much for the 2nd one.
ever thought about upgrading your suspension? if so, then i think that should be your next segment of mods. |
You could get some light weight stock size pulleys, or cams?
|
All of those are fine, I would go for a set of light weight rims for better performance all around.
For better acceleration you can get a 3.9 final drive differential, but finding a competent installer could prove to be difficult. |
Also isn't there a Crank Pulley alot of people say helps a good amount?
I read about it in passing I think. JWT Cams if you wanna get crazy with the car.... |
a - do not get lightweight pullies.
b - headers c - suspension :) |
hey man are you the silver Z that i raced a while back on the freeway along with 3 other Z's (i was the red one)???
+1 on 3.9 final drive and headers to squeeze out the little hp that is still in there |
forget the pullies...
IMO |
What's wrong with a lightweight pulley set?
|
If one member makes a suggestion, another will make light of it without any objective data. That’s why open-ended questions such as this are of little help.
|
batman... yeah i'm the one from Harlingen.... haven't seen in a while bro... but yeah just trying to get some ideas... i just recently got all this other stuff but i kinda have some money laying around and want to stick N/A..... but who knows....
anyways guys thanks for the suggestions... i was considering crawford headers but after reviewing things i figured 8-12 whp wouldn't give me what i want. Plus installation seems like a pain in the ass.... i figued the utec and the clutch will work but cams seem drastic. Besides i heard that any upgrade cams on a z require upgraded valve springs and retainers... any thoughts???? |
Cams/pulleys/ign amp/ and, not saying you have to or want to, but FI is the way to go for HP.
|
basically headers and cams are left in any NA upgrades. there was a thread a while back of a member hitting high 12's i think NA...he put a list of all his mods but it was endless (i'll try and find it), other than that its all F/I
btw i heard about those races with danny (s2k), according to him he took you all the times and at the end you where able to keep up with him. did you have all theses mods when you raced him? edit: some of the links i was talking about...don't know if you already saw them buts its something https://my350z.com/forum/na-builds/284761-na-build-inside-soup-to-nuts.html https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/264447-305-hp-na.html also this guy (member) is in the 12's NA sfarrah |
MREV2, Headers, 3.7 or 3.9 FD...
|
Well when i raced danny the first time... all i had was the plenum spacer... i've never lost like that.... to anyone it was instant pull on his car i wanna say about 3 cars in less than a second... but for some reason i always believed he sprayed on me... but who knows... besides you run what you brung.....
the second race was a little better except tires were needed on my part... my neo gens just don't hold up.. the only difference was that i had just gotten my exhaust and pop filter... but that one was a better race.... i was next to him until end of 3rd and he pulled about a fender or so..... nitrous is a ***** but who knows if he's spraying i'll say one thing that car is fast...... damn hondas....... lol.... thanks for the links i just don't know what i want to do now.... like i said my best is a 13.3 but i know i can do better... its just tires and of course going fast is addicting... i can't stop... lol.... any word on having to upgrade valve springs when you upgrade cams???? |
