Hey guys, I just picked up an '03 (six speed, cruise and diff, i think thats the enthusiast model? idk) and i already want more power haha. I've already got some tein coils in the mail and i'm getting some 19's (hopefully vmr) but i really want the power. I thought about just doing a cat-back (invidia N1) and the a new intake and maybe a new intake manifold, Read about some intake manifold, but i think it was just for the rev up motor. anyway, now i'm sorta ranting on so lets cut to the chase- I want to make right around 300 wheel. What should i do. (looking to stay NA and dont say "spray it dude")

Not going to happen with bolt on mods.

I feel like thats such a reasonable goal though, it makes what like 270 stock? i feel like 30 hp isn't that much to ask at all. If not just bolt ons what do you suggest?

No chance there's 270 at the wheels, not even on an HR. Sorry, bur that's a fact. Lots of threads here showing dyno numbers. Search.

Not going to happen without "spray dude". Best bet would be to do full bolt-ons and get a tune for mid / high 200's.

- filter
- test pipes
- plenum spacer
- exhaust
- osiris or similar
- headers are nice but the gains aren't really worth the costs
- etc, etc

What is the plenum spacer and osiris? I come from a back ground of e30's and miatas haha

and stock numbers are like 280 (according to wikipedia haha)

280 is absurd. If you got a baseline on your car it would be around 230-240.

280 at the crank which is a guestimated 230-240 at the wheels. 300whp on an N/A setup is going to require a lot more than bolt-ons.

thanks, and thats what this is saying http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_350Z and the rev-up is supposed to make 300. But yeah so then if i just want to add like 30 hp? do you have any actual experience with this?

Nope my Z is completely stock.

willshaffer

ahhh, **** thats a lot lost there. ok but adding 30 hp shouldnt be that hard to do. anything i should watch out for? any weak points?

People have been trying to squeeze power out of the VQ35 for over a decade now, if it was easy to do you wouldn't be getting these responses. Research

willshaffer

I have been. well thanks for nothing guys. guess i'll stick with just an exhaust and wheel's and lows.

nothing? you sound like an azz by saying that, members gave you great advice but i guess your still stuck on your pipe dream of making 300hp with bolt ons
