So you’re saying all of the fuel components I ordered from your company for my supercharged setup won’t stand up to a track day? I kid, I kid! Looking forward to using what you’ve cooked up!

Just found a 2011 soho a2a supercharged nismo
Is this going to be better for me? It's better than 09 twin turbo at least?
The owner said there are 3 maps, 505whp, 475whp, 325whp.
For the beginning, I could use map 325whp.
I know it needs more for cooling - at 34 row oil cooler with thermostat, triple pass radiator, oil pan spacer. Maybe a vented carbon fiber hood as well?
Also it almost has everything that 2015 have for the suspension mods.

2011 370z nismo
-A2A SOHO supercharger
-V3 SCI Blower avec filter boost at 9.5 -10 psi
-fast intentions full cat back exhaust (100mil)
-fast. Intentions long tube header
-CJM fuel return
-450lhp Walbro
-catch can soho motorsports
-clutch dxd stage 3 6 puck
-Exedy flywheel
-CSC delete kit
-admintuning conservative tune by ecutek

Thanks again for any inputs.

Why would you think this is "better" than the TT one?

Honestly, you have zero business buying a boosted Z. None. If you can't work on it yourself then you need a NA Z until you can.

We had one guy who tried to track an A2A supercharged car. Let's just say it didn't work out for him. It was ugly.

Let alone the fact that he's trying to track the car, not just leisure driving.

-Track conditions (heat...and heat....then more heat.....then more heat)
-FI'd by previous owner
-New owner has no track experience
-New owner has no mechanical experience

That's a recipe for disaster. Lucky if the engine lets go first and stop your fun. Unlucky if something blows right before or during a corner, he loses it to the wall and gets hurt.

Ytian9, go with the N/A one. Sounds like you have the money. The cars will always be here for you to buy. Save yourself.

You guys missed this part. Admin tuning. I' would run from this. It's a ticking bomb waiting to go off.

Admin tuning doesn't have a rep on this forum. Most of his tunes are copy and paste.

I'll put up $10 why that car is for sale now that I see Moncef "tuned" it.

thanks .
Looks like n/a fits me better. I will run away from this nismo. I did some research, though the Stella is a ticking bomb not soho. I guess it's all about admin tuning.

I am listening guys. Good thing is I went here before purchase.

I will keep you updated.

thanks again.

Anything tuned by Admin tuning. I would stay away from. The good tuners are Sep, Vince at RT Tuning, SOHO, and Jon at Z1.

What part of that confuses you? I'm just pointing out that someone with no mechanical knowledge buying a used car with aftermarket forced induction is a bad idea. Not being able to handle small issues on your own with a project like that is a recipe for disaster, or a giant money pit if you have to pay labor for every little issue.

Let me guess, you're a "drop it off at the shop and write a check" kinda guy?

Would stay away from forced induction as a track build unless the previous owner was a track rat who would've went through the GRUELING iterative work of making an FI'd car work out at the track.
Heat in all systems (coolant, oil, brakes, diff) get pushed past stable operating limits on an NA car driven hard at the track without proper mods, and 1.5-2x'ing the power makes it that much tougher.

For a track car, the 2015 is by far the best starting point of the ones posted.

LSD, solid bushings and good suspension parts, front bar, lightweight 18 inch wheels.
It's not too far away from being a solid track build.
