KC350Z Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 more about the way the car feels takes retrictions out of 1st 2nd 3rd from factory and makes the car feel how it should have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC350Z Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 still worth uprev map on its own but if moding more cheaper to do the surporting mods first then map if you want more power gains you need to go FI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Just picked up my 276. What can be done to up it's "go" a little? What does a map give? directions? sorry couldn't resist. in simple terms; Zed is very expensive to tune very little out of it if you stay NA; if you want big increase go FI not all 276bhp models actually started with anywhere near that to begin with, lots were found to be under powered. so you may find that after the tune you get alot better but maybe not where you thought you would get. personally i'd do the exhaust and filter, get it remapped and then spend the cash on suspension, decent tyres and advanced driving lessons.

waltzinblack Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 in simple terms; Zed is very expensive to tune very little out of it if you stay NA; if you want big increase go FI not all 276bhp models actually started with anywhere near that to begin with, lots were found to be under powered. so you may find that after the tune you get alot better but maybe not where you thought you would get. personally i'd do the exhaust and filter, get it remapped and then spend the cash on suspension, decent tyres and advanced driving lessons. ^That. However, do we know that all the cars that were 'underpowered' weren't being run on 95 ron? Or possibly damaged from previously being run on 95 ron? Most of the Zeds now that go through that standard mod list seem to be ending up with just under 300bhp, inline with the 20-30bhp increase expected from the mods + Uprev, that would give them about the bhp they should've had from stock. Anyway, the main ways to go faster in the Zed for less are driver training, tyres, suspension, weight loss, brakes and then NA power gains in that order. So unless you want to drag race, do those things first and learn to enjoy its beautiful, controllable handling and rear wheel fun. That said, all of those power mods and the Uprev tune do make the car drive better. The power is delivered better, and its more urgent. All of those mods do really make the car brilliant together. But by the time you've bought all of them you could probably afford FI. Or for pure effortless power, do what myself and RT did, sell it, buy a Jaaaaggg and have change to spare!

Parsnip Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 With a popcharger, Motordyne plenum spacer, Berk HFCs and a Nismo exhaust, my 276 makes 289.5 after a remap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With exactly the same but a Milltek exhaust my 04 on 100k + made 300 it was 284 before the remap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The thing to remember is that every engine is different and son are very low on power.. There was one member years ago who's car was only running 200hp @ the flywheel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzodave Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hi, is there any real reason why there is such a variation on power ? I had lots of cars and they never had such variation from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Not sure why on the variation in power - it does happen though. I've owned two cars with a large ~30bhp difference as standard. Didn't have a chance to find out what was going on though. As mentioned de-cats, spacer and remap give the best gains. HFCs are less hassle come MOT time but don't performance quite as well. My car managed 309bhp with these mods, although thats the highest I've seen so far. We do all the individual parts: Berk HFCs: http://www.h-dev.co....oducts_id=25344 De-cats: http://www.h-dev.co....oducts_id=25343 Spacer: http://www.h-dev.co....oducts_id=25052 Remap: http://www.h-dev.co....ge=350z_mapping And a package deal which saves you money over buying all the bits separately: http://www.h-dev.co....oducts_id=25356 Edited October 24, 2012 by Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 As others have said, if you have a limited budget, mechanical grip is by far the the first & best mod for the 350z There's no point in giving it loads of power if you can't turn it or stop it. 4reLeather can vouch for that. I had my car nearly 4years before I even had an uprev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I had my 54 plate zed uprev done at rs tuning, they told me it dosent get rid of any restrictions in 1 2 or 3. The zed feels a lot better and a lot smoother.. heres mt results If I want more power the only real way is forced induction. But I dont think it need it, now im going to sort out the handling. My mods are. Berk hfc, invidia gemini duel exhaust, plenum spacer, 2006 airbox mod, pannel filter, Edited February 10, 2013 by Niko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 with surporting mods exhaust,panel fillter,penteum spacer,hfc or decat about 307 max more about the way the car feels takes retrictions out of 1st 2nd 3rd from factory and makes the car feel how it should have been still worth uprev map on its own but if moding more cheaper to do the surporting mods first then map if you want more power gains you need to go FI Ive done these and KC350Z has it pretty well dead right - HKS airfilter, plenum spacer, Berks,Japspeed Y pipe and K2 exhaust and Uprev and mines 258 at the hubs so probably just under the 300 at the flywheel Biggest difference is how she feels, much more alert and through the gears way better,and his comment of " . . . . makes the car feel how it should have been" is exactly how I've said it myself Note - I did these mods over a few years, so spent more than doing it all in one go, but there's probably £1.5 to £2k of work here - you may think buying a more up to date model which comes with over 300 as she stands may give you a better deal If you have your 276 and want to keep her - I hope you enjoy buying her all these presents and find it as satisfying as I did - it's like buying your girlfriend jewellery, and she always says "Thank you" by giving you the big smile on you face after each little thing !

jaffers Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) with surporting mods exhaust,panel fillter,penteum spacer,hfc or decat about 307 max Hmmm, i called a dealer who was selling an 04 model and listed it as 300bhp, when i asked him what had been done he said "remap and a stainless steel exhaust" according to what iv'e read, still for a car nearly 10 years old sounds abit OTT. Can someone tell me if that's realistic?? Edited March 15, 2013 by jaffers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaffers Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have a 2004 Zed on 110k with just an exhaust, plenum spacer & uprev on 300bhp WOW!! thats incredible! i remember testing driving one with 93k and it was barely faster than an old school vtec. So those three things are definitely on my TO-DO list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell me if that's realistic?? Ask to see the read out to prove this if its been re-maped, Also for some reson imports some time seem to get 10hp more something to do with diffrent ecu,To be fair you wont notice a big diffrence in power with a re-map it more how the car feels {less retritive in 1st 2nd 3rd standard map} look at the rev-up threads it will tell you or message abbey etc for the facts as they have done alot off 350z and can tell you what is realistic with just map and exhaust also is it just cat back or full system,if no hfc or decats Edited March 15, 2013 by KC350Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was upRev'd on over 90k and had 285bhp before Mark started, I did have a look for my little pony but I couldn't find it My Zed is a magical creature it just goes and goes like a car in its teens and touch wood (fnar fnar) nothing has ever gone wrong.... no doubt one day it will just fall apart though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
