Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Well I have decided that it is officially time to update my build thread. I have spent a little over a year in assessing and purchasing components to put into the long list of parts which are required to allow the 350Z to go FI. When I joined this forum over 2 years ago, I didn't have the intention to modify the zed, however after a number of months trolling around the forum I started to catch 'Zeditus'. I started working through different ways I would want to modify the zed "do I want a show car" or "do I want outright perfomance". Finally after reading some other build threads I came to the decision I wanted to go FI. I began looking into both TT and SC setups and made the decision to go down the SC route. I then posted on the forum to get some advice on going FI, which I can only say I received some sound advice from some of the forums FI gurus. From this point on I will try to keep the build thread as clear and informative as possible, not to add any confusion to what is going on.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Good luck with your build! Where about are you based? Oh, and I still have a brand new Vortech 1 piece intake pipe, rare as hen teeth Suspension wise, forget about Whiteline, go SPL, you'll never regret it! Just keep hunting on My350z forum in US, plenty of deals there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leosille Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) A good old long list I hope your pockets are deep but it will all be worth it. What about brakes, with all that power standards may not be up for the job. Edited May 27, 2014 by Leosille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I am based in Hull. Those SPL bushes seem to be full metal bushes. Do these not give a harsh ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sounds good to me. I think it should be a worth while venture. Hopefully will get to see it next year if you go to the wales meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Wow. And there was me wondering if it was worth spending more than a grand for a exhaust on a 2005 roadster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Still pondering mine - slightly put off by the £13 grand price estimate with supporting mods that my spreadsheet is telling me Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 all depends if your going full out or not can get upto 400whp without engine upgrades and will be a lot less than 13 grand but as stated all depends what your goal is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizurd Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 13k! I was thinking around 6 assuming you're not going above 400 odd bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Very nice Zed and good luck with your plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I would agree that it should cost South of 10k without doing any big brake modifications and engine rebuilds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Looking forward to watching this progress. I've always fancied doing this but haven't got the first clue where to start, every time I try to read up on it I get a headache ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) I have taken some sound advice from various people to help me along, so hopefully if I end up on the beaten track they will put me straight. This forum is full of forced induction wizards who have done this to their zeds and I am pretty sure that they would assist a fellow zed owner, for a fee of some beer tokens and a pizza Edited May 31, 2014 by Mike_89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Still pondering mine - slightly put off by the £13 grand price estimate with supporting mods that my spreadsheet is telling me Good luck How much?! What's on that list? Nothing too special - I like the sound of 400 BHP - just including some already bought and paid for upgraded parts on the list in my figure - brakes, suspension which come first in the sequence, then clutch and exhaust fettling on top of the actual install so, yeah £13k is not just for an SC but my big picture estimate. I prefer to scare myself as to the actual cost I based it in UK sourced parts too. I agree an sc install will be less than £13 grand - sorry for bombing on your thread Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_89 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Haha no worries, no harm done. It doesn't scare me really. I love the car so money is no object really. You can't take it with you and you only live once, so you might as well enjoy it while you can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
