Hey everyone, im new to the forum and new owner of a Z. 03 six speed enthusiast. Iv been looking for easy mods and seen the ram air duct. It looks like it should have some results at highway speed. I was just wondering if anyone had any proven results like in 1/4 mile time or just butt dyno. I know nothing will be shown on a real dyno unless you hook up a leaf blower up to the duct lol.
Anyway i have the plenum spacer coming, anything else i should be doing less then few hunderd dollars hopefully.

 

this will barely do anything along with most n/a mods

 

yeah i would like to go with a turbo. Only probelm is this is a daily driver. Boosting a N/A car is going to cause problems wether you like it or not. The car has a lot of power, but i would like 25-30 more hp

 

for 25-30 more hp, plan on spending a lot of money

 

plenum spacer
test pipes
cams
+ Utec and tune

should get you 25hp and only cost around 3K+ in parts and labor LOL

 

Here you go, I will help get you started

Yes. See: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840...ons-stock.html

 

test pipes (or high flow cats), exhaust, spacer, tune - will easily net you 25 whp - cams certainly not required

most DE engines will start off in the 225-235 whp range (Dynojet) when stock and with the above, should put you in the 255-270 whp range. Top that off with a shorter ring and pinion, and you've got a nice, fun daily driver with 0 reliability issues. Going higher than that starts getting very expensive, very quickly

 

^^^ Amen to that!!! I was perfectly fine with intake, plenum and TB spacer, modified upper and lower collector, HFC, Exhaust, 3.7 FD + Osiris (TS was good too).... then decided to take a chance with cams & headers = not worth the expense (in fact so far, not worth it at all but I'm still tweaking – as of now I wish I hadn’t bothered)...

so op - for N/A those moderate bolt-ons and a tune will make your car notably faster and more fun to drive... other than that full build and plan for lots of $$$$($)

Or go the easy route and slap a SC on it.

 

Or go the easier route than sc, nitrous, lol

 

Or go the easier easier route of a built stroked motor, fi, and nitrous.

 

lol only if we all could bro!

 

Always happy to help. If you have other questions please don't hesitate to waste my time.
