thanks

first off welcome to nico, but if serious gain turboing it is your best bet as for the little things mayb an upgraded ecu, headers, and stuff of that nature. turboing it gives a great deal of gain an flexibility to how much power you really want.

i shouldve just went tt,,but didnt have the money!suxxxIf i turbo it i gotta change alot of parts.., pistons,etc....

Post by **Weber3211** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:04 pm

you need a huge spoiler, spinners, fire extinguisher, gauges, stickers, rimz, and a body kit.

or you could buy a TT. NA's are slow. I know, i have one.

Post by **simmode1** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:06 pm

You could swap in a V8. VH45DE or LSx. About the same price as a TT swap, I believe...

Post by **andrez** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:12 pm

welcome to the forum....... there is not that much horse power to gain in an n/a z versus the monies that you would have to put out ....try removing some weight like a pulley kit , junk in the trunk etc....is this a daily driver or did you buy it for hauling-a**

Post by **RJTHEGENERAL** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 2:22 pm

underdrive pulley right?

Post by **jedijeff123** » Sun Oct 04, 2009 3:53 pm

Z1 Motorsports and CPZ are the best places for Z32 parts.

Not sure on pricing, I know that they are pretty similar in price, but not positive. But I do know that the LSx engines are quite powerful and extremely reliable.

I plan on LS swapping my 2+2 eventually. Can't wait

Well you have a na z correct.. and you are looking for more POWER..... hhhhmmmmmm well first you could use the search cause this is the most frequently asked question. Then you will realize modding a na will get you to about 220hp max after spending about over 3grand. read honads thread.. zer...age=1

Post by **sethhatfield** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 12:48 am

Why don't you put a wet nitrous oxide kit on it? It doesn't have to be more than a 50 shot. You could install it in an afternoon.

dont flame me for this as i have never driven my car before. is an N/A really that slow? i mean it is a v6. i dont under stand why everyone says they are slow. a slow car to me would be a honda civic or something or that sort that people think are fast but obv arent at all. (unless heavily modded)

Post by **franklin93zx** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 5:45 am

The reason I am flaming you is because this question is asked atleast 3 times a week and it's not hard to just read through some threads to see what are the correct things to do and i did help you by giving you the link to honads thread. He has all the bolt-on mods except the drive shaft so start reading.

Post by **evildky** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 5:49 am

read honads thread, if thats nto enough, sell ti and buy a TT

A B16 CRX will SMOKE a stock NA Z, been there, by the time I hit 3rd he was like 5 cars ahead. Yes NAs are that slow.

now i have a hard time believing that, i have owned a crx and they are really slow. maybe its drivers ability just my opinion (praying my cars not that slow after all the work and money i put into it)

You must be joking. A stock 91hp CRX is a far cry from a b16 swapped 160hp CRX(which would be bound to have additional power adders as well). It wieghs like... almost 1200lbs less than a Z32. Power to wieight ratio is a strong weapon, my friend.

If your comparing a stock CRX to a B16 CRX (as in Si B16 swap) then you really really need to do your research, I'm not the best driver but I know how to launch and shift my cars.

Stock 1999 Civic Si 0-60mph 7.2 secondsStock 1993 300zx 0-60mph (can't find exact but as far as I know its mid to low 7 sec)

Now take the B16 out of a 2600lb car and stick it in a half gutted CRX, it'll be faster

as far as pulling me, I'm sure he had some bolt-ons but the fact of the matter is that when that happened I firmly decided that my Z would become TT.

The NA is an awsome car and every time you step on it you know that 2 NAs could rip a CRX in two halves if you did a tractorpull but its just a pig @ 3300lbs.

To get back on topic, believe me when I and everyone else says, if you want NA power you need a VQ or a V8, but if you want easily swapable power go for the TT.

by the way a crx stock comes with a sohc 1.5 liter as someone said maybe 91hp if your lucky

1. I think he was addressing you because we assume your CRX wasn't B16 swapped, so it's not quite the same thing as what the other guy was talking about.

2. V6 3000GT? I'd like to see one that isn't lol. You must've meant "NA".

Post by **NolimitZ32** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 9:33 am

1) My original post says "B16 CRX" that is the only statement I was making.2) A stock 300zx NA 0-60 is 7.5 as far as I have found.

and xclusivez32: a NA 300zx is a little faster then a NA 3000gt, my buddy had one and we lined up more then a few times, that thing couldn't keep up they weigh a little more (a couple hundred pounds) but I guess the FWD just blows goats. In short, you remember driving that 3000gt, well the 300zx is gonna be world better.

Precisely what I was saying.

Can we get a mod in here

Post by **pablo2983** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 11:47 am

I have a 1990 300zx na. Theres not much power there, u'll have to spend as Ived come to find out at least 4k to bring it to a decent performance. Im saving to buy a tt cause the stock na is 7.2sec in 0-60 as reported on da speed channel. Hooking up a na is just to much money and work with little boost

Post by **andrez** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 1:16 pm

theres a z with a vette engine for sale in this forum ............i think theres all the power you need

Post by **dozug** » Mon Oct 05, 2009 4:39 pm

wow, i didnt know everyone thought NA is slow.. I thought it is good enough for just cruising... haha anyways, i have TT, and if you want more power, just get a TT.

Yeah, its slow. Not as slow as a stock KA, though

They are slow because they weigh so much. 222hp isn't too shabby in a lighter car. That's probably the biggest reason.
