Re: No 300ZX for me. :(

My buddy has a TT, full 3" exhuast, chip to run 18lbs new manifolds and downpipes and a dual pop charger(turbo air inlet for us normal people) and my hatch running 10lbs beats it all day long. There slow as ---- whether there stock or built and way over priced IMO.

And they aren't over priced now. Boost found a good one around 2000 that he showed to scottsi. The car that over pirced to me is the supra.

And Frank we were talking about the tt 300zx not na. Yeah i know those one are slow.

Dont qoute me on this, but i think they run 12psi stock, so a 6 psi jump on those lil turbos isnt an incredible power gain. And yes, my 2L on 10lbs smokes it.

WRONG they run 9.5psi stock a car that is pushin 18psi is in deep 12's with those supporting mods, tuned it would be in high 11's, but many Z owners do not tune their cars. what does your car have before i call bs or say the driver cant drive worth ----.

Yeah, I've seen plenty of those cars pushing 400-500whp with minor mods on a stock block.

Re: No 300ZX for me. :(

it should have been a close race then, you probably smoked him from a stop, from a rol or on the freeway it would have been different.stock block is very strong, just put some bigger capable turbos and pushing 500+whp is doable although not recomended but who needs to go with what is recomended =P 750hp stock block record with nitrous so i think 500hp daily driver is reliable, but we will find out when i get my new Z

Re: No 300ZX for me. :(

Dont get me wrong, i know that they can be fast. I just dont like the fact the the intake has to come off to do any work on the engine and the car isnt exactly light either. But with money anything is possible. I worked at a honda/nissan dealer and basically any work on the 3's was 5hours+ to do anything because there such a pain in the *** to work on. Doesnt mean it took that long, but thats what they call for.
