alessandro Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 They sell super chips on ebay might be worth a look. How come you shelled out on a 280bhp car if you want 350ish from it straight a way? Heard before that those things don't really work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 sounds like you need to look at the suoer charger route. save you spending thousands only to make a few bhp to then realsie you should have gone FI right from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLizard Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 phone up abbey, ask them, imo a motordyne full exhaust system and a remap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Welcome to the forum. Its not cheap to get that much extra power from the zed unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Plenum spacer, CAI intake, exhaust with high flow cats and a remap will get you some gains. Unfortunately it will be nowhere near the figures you are looking for (not even close). As said you will need to go SC at least to get what you are looking for.

Gregs Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I'd start looking at making it lighter if I were you, they're heavy cars anyway and just by putting a few carbon parts on it I'm sure weight can be saved. That way you get a better power to weight ratio, breaks won't need to work as hard, be better handling, etc so lots of birds - one stone I wouldn't say the Zed is the most tunable car. I've looked into it sice I got mine and I'd say £ for £ you don't get much power gain on the money you dish out compared to say the old cosworths (cos I see you're a ford man in a past life - good lad btw!).

BulletMagnet Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Bolt on one of these air intake superchargers Goes behind the MAF sensor section, which means you'll have to shorten the intake pipe, Dremel or hacksaw should do it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the bonnet though. Being aluminum, they're quite light stock. Stock is lighter than a carbon version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 For people with no knowledge this has now become the most confusing thread of all time -With your car with some modifications within a reasonable budget of 1.5k? you could get 300bhp out of it possibly. -Or by spending something over 5k? you could supercharge it and comfortably get 350bhp. You cant unlock power in a 350z like you can in a focus st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant unlock power in a 350z like you can in a focus st. or by spedning 5k$ you can get an EMS and midturbo setup and get 400whp+ ftw... as you would say...

Mate has one.... turbo gave trouble and he said it was weird since the sc was pushing away at low rpm, once the turbo was going to kick in it didn't and he had no power! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
