Nissan Nismo 370Z

My guess would be that there is also some changes done to the vvel on the Nismo.

The thing is that Nissan doesnt say anything, if they have different head, or diff cam, etc, is just exactly the same settings.

the only things that are different power wise is the ECU tune and the exhaust.

just wait for an agressive ecu tune and cams and people will be making plenty of power.

pretty much the same as much as a evo X, 335i, or a bolt on 300zx twin turbo

Again with the agressive cams eh? Maybe on the exhaust side . . .

:roflpuke2:

Wrong. You can't compare mods when you're talking three boosted cars and one NA car.

Good luck with the cam thing... :ughdance:

Will you please enlight us, BBOY since you seems to be so smart and rude and the same time. Because like you said right now the Evo been boosted from factory and the Z been NA keeps the battle, so what make u think that with a Ecu Tune and some cams, wont do it?

Ummmm...BBoy is correct. It is Very easy to get BIG gains out of Boosted cars with a tune... a simple 3 psi boost is good for 15-20 hp alone on a Turbo car. Many can add 30-40hp+ with an aggressive tune. The tune on my Audi TT took it from 225 to 265 with no issues whatsoever. It is MUCH harder to get gains out of a N/A engine. 10-15 hp Max is about it..

Manny, one of the reasons you're getting slammed a bit is because there is no traditional intake cam on the 370Z.

Yup and frankly... man up, he wasn't being rude or offensive.

Also what CBRich said...VVEL = no traditional cam swaps. I'm staying out of the ensuing drama.

Lmao :icon18:

I fine making fun of another member because of his lack of knowledge instead of doing what Modshack did, is rude. Cause if a member can't come here and ask the stupid question because his gona be slap in the face, what good is the forum for.

By the way Im not the one who requested hte cams :D

THe comparison I try to make which I dont like from some Evo guys is, they always like to compare their cars to NA cars, and thats like apple to oranges. Yes the Evo is already bossted and modded from factory where an NA car is not, but they make it look like "your never be like an Evo cause our is already modded" my answer to that is "lets get both cars modded the same and then we talk" Even get an AWD to the Z (i know is not possible, but using it as comparison)

Is kinda they make it sound like, No matter what you do to your car, youll never get close to an Evo. Which I know is a very wrong assumption.

But not hating, here just giving my Opinion

Some Equations

NISMO Catback + Stock car = more power

Tune + Stock car = more power

more power + more power = 2(more power)

besides even if you do both you'll only have about 280-290 at the wheels stop worrying about 350hp

Oh and some more Equations

Stillen Exhaust > nismo

stillen Gen3 > all

GTM TT > 400hp at wheels > 370z with $3500 of bolt ons + 100shot of N2O

i was comparing the boosted cars to each other.

of course NA cars make less power per mod.

it's the exhaust cams which can be switched out for more power.
cams from all manufacturers are made for emissions mainly.

go take a look at the BMW and Honda forums and see how much power those guys are making with swapping out the cams.

with FI cars it's not uncommon to see upwards of 60whp increases with cams.

hell with non turbo Z32's cams make a huge difference.
