I'm going forced induction! I've got a 2012 Nismo PW with about 48k miles on it right now. Its my second Z that I've bought off the forums. This particular one was previously had a Stillen Supercharger, so I have some mods on it already.
I've been debating going turbo for awhile. I've previously had a turbocharged car, Eclipse GSX. I don't remember the numbers exactly but I believe around 350awhp boosting around 10-12psi I think. I've also considered few different vehicles.
- Lexus RCF - Too heavy even with the 500hp V8 powerplant
- Nissan GTR - Z looks better imo, interior is blah for 100k car
- Porsche Cayman GT4 - Finding this car is a challenge then at MSRP is another
- BMW i8 - More interested in the second generation based on rumors and roadster edition
Anyways, I realized boosting my Z will be the best bang for my buck and I will happy with the power (At least for the next year or two.
)
What I have
- GTM Stage 2 Twin Turbo Kit
- Z1 34 Row Oil Cooler with thermostatic sandwich plate
- DW 600cc Injectors (Planning on upgrading this later)
- Stage 2 Clutch (Previous owner said he left the performance clutch in from supercharger install)
- Uprev License and Cable
What I Need- Exhaust Manifolds (This kit came with a cracked manifold)
- Boost Controller (Picking up a cheap manual until I figure what I wanna do)
- Boost Gauge
Round 2 of mods- Fuel return system
- Bigger injectors
- Electronic Boost controller (I love the Greddy OLED Profec, but not sure where I'll put it in the Z that's clean)
- GTR Intake Manifold (I think there's two vendors that have this. Gamma and someone else. Not sure which one yet)
I'm planning the install for mid June/early July. I still have a few pieces to come in and who knows how long that will take. I'd like to shoot for 500rwhp, but I may need to wait till the second round of mods to get there. Excited about joining forced induction crew.
