Kizashi tuning help =D

SkyZ · 11-03-2010, 08:33 PM

I know this is a 370z forum but i need some help with my kizashi and its kinda dead over there.

pretty much i got the top spec awd with cvt, but the cvt is sorta disappointing. Feels like i'm starting in second, and doesnt like to rev, or go past 3k revs. I wanted to swap out my tranny for a double clutch system. Anyone have any thoughts opinions, input into how i might do this?

My goal is to have more power off the line, (it does have 185 hp, but feels like 20 with the cvt), and i want better engine response. thanks guys.

keep in mind, not much aftermarket support for these cars. only the basics, intakes, exhausts, thats about it xD

Drive car to Mitsubishi dealer and trade it in for a Evo X MR

i woudln't bother with the money involved for a transmission swap on a car like the kizashi. keep the mods on the 370z (assuming you still have one...i think?) and just use the kizashi as your daily driver. just dont' be in a rush

btw, kizashi is a retarded name. kizashi means 'sign' or 'omen'. omen of what? ur car breaking down soon???

for the price of a tranny swap i guess i could, but depends how much it actually is. if its like 10k, still less than an evo. and still got more luxuries.

+ i can build this like the r&t kiz. over 200 mph, and record holder for salt flats. 2 records, one for turbo and one for n/a. i dont remember the details.

ninja edit ftw.

I drove in my buddies MR, and can affirm it's a beast.

+1 on what Phelan said, just leave it alone since it would most likely be more trouble than it's worth.
