I, after a long time of thinking extensively, I want an NA build. I've never been an FI guy really. So here's the deal! I want you guys to assist me on the best build I can get for $8000. That's the budget for parts only. My req's are similar to Adam from Z1's build. Something I can drive daily no problems. Looking for 300+ WHP. Nothing crazy though. Would E85 be something I should consider?

Wiseco Pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP bolts
Tomei Cams (I can't find the 268 cams, someone like me in the right direction?)
Tomei Valve Springs (Should this be what I look for here? )
ATI crank pulley (Was thinking Z1 crank pulley also)
RevUP oil pump

The rest of the parts for the build is where I need you guys' help.


I am also in Miami, does anyone know a good shop where I can take this to get done? Thanks for your help guys!

 

Guess I'll be the first...
You seem like a troll to me because

1. You have 7 post talking about a 8k engine build

2. You're asking forum members who mostly do CIA and exhaust about a path that normally is done only to shop cars.

3.You don't even have pics of your car posted

4. 8k for 300whp.... Seriously?

Now if you post pics of you car with the Akebono's installed on it then maybe more people will give you the time of day. Don't forget to have a sign with your screen name on it in all the pictures.

 

find wrecked 370Z removed it's VHR put it in Z33 pay Zfever for harness

 

There you go

WAIT thats all you need to swap in a 370z motor ? besides trans

 

Posts don't mean ****. I lurk around here. I never post because of people like you. The reason I went NA is for reliability. Yes 8k for 300WHP. I don't care about insane power. I want a fast daily that is reliable. FI is just a bomb waiting to explode. There's plenty of people that have gone NA. What is your deal here? If you don't want to help me, don't waste your time posting here. I'm not like everyone else who wants as much power as they can get. I want safe power, and I want it done right.

And thanks for that article Tiago, really helped.

 

Like I said before. Post pics of the Akebono BBk installed on the car with a sign saying youre screen name and more people will probably take you more seriously.

 

That is just ridiculous

 

OP, realize how many times we see stuff like this, and why its 99.9999% BS.
If youre the real deal, so be it, but dont get mad at us becuase it smells of a rat.
Weve been doing this a long time. I aint mad atcha, but yes, this is the stuff flames come from on a regular basis.


Any built ipp, dynosty etc engine w basic forged parts is about 5600 bucks.
if you want cams, bigger fuel, and the actual HP of a stroker internals, double your 8k budget.

300 hp built is doable, but you should message my friend e30cabrio from here and ask him if hed ever do a stroker or NA build again for the money.

 

What year is your z? If you have an HR or even a rev up 300 whp is possible with $8000 with out the need to tear in to the block.

 

ITBs, cams, valve springs, long tubes, exhaust, and a AEM, Haltech, or MoTeC and you're there and then some on a DE or Revup.

 

No problem. See if Grimms post was like yours, I'd understand. Thank you. I guess NA isn't a good path on the VQ.

 

An hr would be good to start w..
If u simply want a fun z, you can do plenum.spacer, drop in k/n..and exhaust u want..test pipes n a good solid Osiris tune and you'll be around 250-270 wheel HP.
This will run.a guy about 2500 tops Inc the tune and maybe even art test pipes..the best IMHO


You can.spend 1200 on great true coils..3-400 on urethane front bushings Inc labor.. get an rjm clutch.pedal bracket for 150.. about the same to install..350-400 on sway bars Inc labor, do a rear bumper tuck for free, get a classy front lip, and you'd still have $ left out of ur 8k budget to but some decent lightweight wheels n ss brake lines.
You'd have a kick *** car that's an absolute joy to drive..maybe add another grand for a jwt clutch n.lwfw combo installed..

This is solid even.if you're starting out bone stock.

 

this post just proves you know nothing about how engines work, 300 hp is 300 hp. it is going to produce the exact same amount of stress on the engine be it NA, super charged, turbo charged or nitrous. f=m*a fi and nitrous provide increases to mass, NA provides a smaller amount of increase to acceleration but also provides a amount of increase to mass via increased breathing mods. end result is the same 300 hp is 300 hp, the only thing your changing is the power band where its made not the total amount of stress.

its not about safe power its about you, like alot of others, thinking by keeping a engine NA they can somehow bypass the laws of physics and then propagating the myth by telling others the same which continues the spread of false information.

its like trying to measure the damage a bullet does by its size and ignoring the damage done from the velocity its traveling and the pressure wave it imparts because of that velocity.
