Blackie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 A friend of mine is thinking to come from Supras on to 350z's and was wondering how tuneable they are? What sorts of things can you do for what sort of money? What sort of power is possible for not silly money? At the moment he is driving a 400bhp bpu Supra but is tempted to go the way of the Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 search button up to 400 bhp with a turbo or supercharger, 400bhp onwards will require better engine internals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 if you stay NA, you can spend alot of money for very little gain. if you go FI there options are better and the gains considerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 search button up to 400 bhp with a turbo or supercharger, 400bhp onwards will require better engine internals Not quite Pretty sure thats been disproved by Nurrish, Myself & now Sam who have all gone above the "safe" 400 mark. As said before, torque kills these motors - not HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootg Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I just flashed, remapped the ECU then delimited it to result in 325bhp on 95 octane, and it's good for 180mph now. So there's a simple mod to put you right up there with the big boys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Might be possible if its a HR though I doubt it just from a remap. Stock to the wheels is 263. So to meet 325 at the fly....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Is his car stock though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 According to the below calculator, 276 WHP is 325 FHP... 276 at the wheel is possible so maybe it's a calculation thing? http://www.dyno-power-run.com/dynocalc.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's a simple mod to put you right up there with the big boys.. Is the standard ECU even remapable?

Wasso Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Do a search on the forum for Uprev. This is the software which allows you to map the car. 3 licensed outfits in the UK. Abbey Motorsport (Surrey) RS (Leeds) Horsham Developments (Basingstoke way I think) Here a link that maybe useful viewtopic.php?f=114&t=49315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to lose any gadgets, Ive had a Supra for three years and Toyota consider an ashtray light a gadget I guess standalones are okay with supporting mods but the link above (Thank you) sounds perfect and at a good price, The days of spending thousands on mods are long gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 to retro fit FI the cost vary alot dpending on if you buy new kit or 2nd hand and if you fit it or pay for fitting etc. supercharger your looking at between 4.5k to 7.5k for the kit + fitting (i may be a little out, someone like ian could give you more accurate figures as he has run a very nice HKS setup) turbo your looking at between 7k and 15k for a decent twin turbo setup, prices might be less and that i think includes some of the fitting etc, but someone like zmanalex would be able to give you more real world figures as he has run a couple of TT setups.)

Dblock Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 IMO if your wanting a fast car buy one, Im not doubting charged z's are good but owners dont tend to keep them for long. You can get much much more power from a 2jz without spending silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
