AET turbos seem to have at least some idea of what they are doing in this respect (I have already had speaks with them about Haltech installation) - never heard of Dyno Demon. There are other options too...

wait a few weeks

really not a good time of year to sell a convertible!

the closest guess wins the car, right?

On that bombshell..

 

Could you re-mount your air con cooler to work with your intake?

 

Please let this make me my millions!!

 

It only gets better!!

actually this has been tried quite a few times - even by Ford I believe! However that darn 2nd law of thermodynamics seems to be quite persistent!

jeez, my bid was way over then! If it goes for those figures I wish I was in the market for a zed!

well it certainly won't go for over 15 grand - I believe there is something called "a recession"

relativity!

everyone else is driving slower!

10800

well he IS greek - lucky it wasn't like..

will we be seeing your mate Q along too?

you cant remap the ecu - at least nowhere in UK can - you can get a piggyback ECU though eg UTEC/Haltech

induction kit shouldnt make for rough idle

exhaust system shouldnt light CEL - unless the o2 sensors are positioned wrongly

as I say - get a progressive controller if going NOS and it can be safely done

Good responses guys.

 

I have looked into the superchargers/turbos and understand perfectly how they work, yet can't justify the cost at the mo as I've only had the car for five months, and my piggy bank is still recuperating!

 

I've tried several places to get a re-map but can't find anyone with the capabilities.

I have been told that an induction kit will make my car idle roughly.

And I have also been told that an exhaust system will bring a fault light up on the dash??

 

Any of these true?

 

I have had turbo cars before, the quickest being a 324bhp Evo, yet every time I 'had a go' it fell to bits, even though it was two years old.

I decided to opt for a sexy to look at but naturally aspirated car for the reliability, and he ho I bought my zed.

I hate cack like fast and the furious, don't modify my cars at all, and just want more power. (been on bikes since I was 14)

I enjoy learning new things and taking advice from people who have previous experience, also hoping that their mistakes can save me some money!!

 

From all your great responses I'm going to divulge as much info as I can regarding Nos, but dubious on where to get 'genuine' information as a lot of people bend the truth regarding power gains etc. I'm pretty satisfied with the acceleration and torque, but reckon a greater mid range punch would improve things (similar to when a turbo kicks in and gets on one).

 

Is there anyone on here who is using nos at the mo and had no problems as of yet?

I knew a lad who ran his Audi on it and ruined his engine (not sure what power or damage to what extent).

Thanks for all of your help, I'll get some more info and then fire some questions.

 

And finally I'm near Driffield.

 

Cheers, Badger.

hated the bridgestones that my car came with and swapped them fast even though they had plenty of tread - they just had so little grip compared to the toyos I have now

ask Daron about struggling to keep up when he had his bridgestones!

NOS is cheaper and can be perfectly safe if done right..

mmm nice

Not sure about modding yet, there might be one or two little things but nothing on the scale i was on with the MR2.

 

might add a pop charger, better tyres, new gear knob, not much more.

 

as from what people say most power mods are negligable on the Z as the ECU cancels them out. so i can't see the point in spending thousands for 1 or 2 bhp.

 

and to be honest its a pretty good car as standard.

if its got bridgestone re040 on then swap them immediately!

now I'm not an expert ...

it's generally acceted that you can run up to 400hp without changing conrods/pistons etc - the manifold and head gasket can handle more than the conrods! if fitting NOS I would say to start with 50hp boost and see how you get on - I wouldnt fit any NOS without a progressive controller

you dont really NEED to change the exhaust for a basic supercharger or NOS install but it will help

hmm thought this was where I posted it in the first place!

as a fan of both cats and heavy metal I have to post this!

hmm just run it , press "g" and type "www.350z-uk.com" - when it asks to accept cookies press "a" - works for me as you can see!

mmmmm retro!

welcome to 1988!

the rate we are going you will be getting a Z free with your breakfast cereal by next week...

anyway it sounds plausible to me
