help improving performance!!!1

[anthonyblue]

yeh i read up on them, they seem good like, am thinkign about gettinig the racing intake, racing exhaust manifold, and a desent intake system....should see some gains with that....hopefully

[Husky]

why are you chasing gains in the zed? Its difficult to get decent hp to cost with these cars.

maybe an evo, supra, 300zx, rx7 etc etc would have been a better idea?

[anthonyblue]

i love zeds, always have....im just more ineterested in how to do things and ways of gettign power without turboing it...lovely dog btw mate

i had £900 worth of exhaust; £300 of intake; £400 of High Flow Cats. thats £1600 roughly and i doubt i made more than about 6bhp; but then i had not been remapped, but again i reckon i could double that figure to about 2 bhp but add on nearly another £400

 

so nearly 2k for not a hugh difference in performance. the noise was good, your half way to a supercharger at that price.

 

if your going to spend then another say 5-7K on a supercharger just have a think about what car you could buy with another 7k which would have the performance.

 

i'm not trying to pi$$ on your chips here, but think seriously before you start modding, if your doing it for the noise then knock yourself out, but if your only doing it to chase BHP, then my advice is

 

get it remapped as it is, maybe with something for the noise, and then go do some driver training and track days. you'll make more gains from the performance already there than by adding 2k in mods.

yer, i love the looks too....a bit lower...wider wheels, but again i cant find wheels i like to put on it...or how much to drop the car :S

i'll push it off a cliff for £200 if that helps

[anthonyblue]

haha could be an idea!

I'll do it for a tank of petrol

[anthonyblue]

half a tank and a big mac burger?

[Ian]

Nooooooo. I'm on a diet & half a tank wont last me long

[Neilp]

Ian I'm saving for a turbo install aswell. Only single turbo though

[Ian]

Which kit?

 

There are not many ST that fit on a RHD car

[Neilp]

I'm not too sure yet. Looking down the custom route and trying to do something totally different. Fed up following the usual and buying kits even though they work. Gonna look at spending about 10k. Thinking bout buying another z and doing it and keep mines the way it is. Wanna buy one that I can track and not worry about it.
