Getting more power out of a 370Z Nismo

elm_tx · 10-23-2010, 07:40 PM

Hey All,

I've never been one to "tune" on a car.
However I'm wondering what I can do with my Nismo to get a bit more acceleration out of it. I don't have a ton of money to throw at it, so I'm interested in the most bang for the buck.

K&N cold air induction? Would I see much difference or is the a better brand in that price range?

What is the advantage / difference between twin turbos vs. super charger? That is probably more then I will do, just curious.

I don't want to turn it into a track car, however an Escalade sat on my @ss far longer then I thought it should be able to. That needs to change...

Thanks
Eddie

I would go with Berk HFC (hi-flo cats) first (~$450), followed by exhaust...

Exhaust will really depend on your budget, but I got the Invidia Gemini for ~$850

I believe K&N only do a short ram intake, and the long tube intake will give you more gains. (~$500)

Although there are several brands, only the Injen Intake will fit the Nismo without modification.

The K&N are HAI's

They claim 14wrhp, I got like 6 on a bad day.

I would get a FI CBE and a CAI and a tune.
