taffyjason Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Sorry i dont have the answer, but does anyone know what is actually achievable? forgetting cost of course and the usual ' why not go FI ' ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 you'd need to run a full forged build, maybe bored out to 3.7 litres, ported and polished. with ITB's possibly with NOS and a water meth injection setup. that would see your largest numbers NA. or alternatively lift the engine out completely and drop a V8 in there. still NA but will have more torque and BHP (dependant on engine choice) as for numbers for both setups? not a friggin clue?

taffyjason Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 that's cheating, i mean with its original lump! as much as i'd like a v10 zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Probably Adam @ Z1 with 320whp Giles, who was admin over the other place for a while used to have a 350hp N/A z aswell, but I'm sure that was flywheel not wheel power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 well 100bhp / litre must be achievable, i know thats big money, but there's plenty of people like Abby and Horsham that must have the resources and moolah to go for it, Ferrari and BMW do it easily hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez @ H-Dev Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is pretty good, not in a 350 but the same engine: [link removed] EDIT: Not sure why but the link wouldn't show unless I put a space in it after the niss in niss ansportz - are links to Nissan Sportz filtered out or something?

taffyjason Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 any V8's in mind? F430 engine would go nicely in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F430 engine would go nicely in there if you can get hold of one a Vette LS2 the kits already available for a straight swap, well in the states at least, not sure its as straight forward on a UK car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 staying NA is not a cheap option; be it tuning the stock engine, rebuilding the stock engine or changing the engine completely. if you wanted to be NA and special in the UK ITB's are probably the best option, very few have done it but the sound is pure sex wee.

rtbiscuit Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 you can see in the video each cyliner has its own trumpet, below each trumpet is a butterfly valve (the throttle body) one for each cylinder. so each cylinder draws its own air instead of being fed by 1 or 2 air feeds with filters on. these particular ones are also running either water or meth injection as well (this is where a mist of water or meth and water are sprayed as a mist into each cylinder to increase combustion.
