350 turbo?

Post by **pcbootleger** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

Some guy told me that the 2004 or 2005 350z's will come with a stock turbo. Is this true? If so can I get some info on it? like psi ratings and stuff, if he isnt lying of course.

ive heard rumors of this, however i doubt nissan will put one in, GREDDY has made one, that boosts at 5.4 psi and makes 335whp, so its def possibly with even low boost ,but it would also drive the factory price throught the roof, as im sure they would put the turbo's on only track models

o and of course ,welcome to NICO, i hope you find everyone here very helpful and informative, sorry for hte late welcome,

I have been hearing that Nissan will offer a supercharger as a dealer installed item from Nismo.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

there have been many rumors about this, some say nissan is planning a twin turbo 35oZ as a production car in o5 or so, all of these are still up in the air of course, if they are real that is, however a supercharger with a warranty would be a rather cool mod for a 35oZ

Power Enterprise has just finished and tested the TT kit for the US-spec Z33.

It will be available for purchase early September.

welcome to NICO powerSR2o, i hope u find everyone here very helpful and informative, also, what kind of numbers is that 35o putting down, and how high is hte boost??, and my final question, what kind of car do u drive, i notice u have 'Power's' banner in your sig, do u work for them or sothing?

I think it was Stillen that was going to offer the Supercharger. It is supposed to be a limited production 350Z. It will come with a supercharger @ 5.6psi (I think..., putting down about 330hp+ @ the wheels), a different aero package and a cowl hood to accomodate the top mount supercharger. It was in "Modified Magazine" a couple of months back.

They said it was going to be called the SMZ (Steve Millen Z). Just like the previous Z that had the same edition, but obviosly with the twin turbos. Remember it was a very limited production car and so will be the "350SMZ".

One more thing. Hello!I rarely post outside the 240sx section, I just decided to explore today... Hope this helps!

i havent hear talks of this going into production, but thanks for the info anyway

Do the TT/SC kits include parts to lower the engine compression?It seems silly just to slap boost on a engine designed for N/A breathing...

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

im not too sure, hte 35oZs compression is 1o.3:1 so im sure they wont turbo it as is, it would be dangerous

Stillen alread offers a Supercharger kit for the 350z/G35. IT produces 354hp and 318ft-lbs of torque at 5.71-lbs of boost. It costs $3,795.00 from stillen. Stillen also clames that joined with a cat-back exaust it will produce over 370hp. They also will be offering upgrade pullies (more boost) and other supercharger upgrades. I dont know about you guys but over 60hp more to the wheels for under $4000 is a good deal in my opinion.

Pstickne, the idea that turbo-charging a normally aspirated engine is wrong strictly because of the idea of compression ratios is totally eroneous. With strong enough internals and proper fuel management even the Z's 10.3 to 1 compression ration could easily handle boost. Admittedly, lower compression is more FAVORABLE to run higher boost levels, but it is by no means a necessity or requirement, or even a roadblock in any instance. It isn't "silly" by any stretch of the imagination, and it is very foolish to say so. There are very nearly hundreds of KAT owners out there with the stock compression ratio that run just fine. There are countless accounts of people going forced induction on an engine that was NA, all with success. The keys are fuel management, proper boost levels, and timing. I suggest you do more research into forced induction in particular to gain more solid and useable information. Your previous statements are spurious and somewhat misinforming.

yes there are stock KAs with boost, however a KAs stock compression is easier to deal with than 1o.3:1. But u are right in a sense to broaden horizons and try boosting on that kind of compression ratio, way to have an open mind though

Post by **Projex240** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

Stock compression is irrelavant if you are talking about tuning. If you can tune well and ensure the timing or lack of fuel to cause any kind of detonation, then higher compression will ultimatley yield more hp compared to low compression turbo motors-that of course is when they are running the same boost levels. Higher compression also helps spool up immensely. and the ka's cr is only .7 less than the z's not too much difference at all. 5.7 lbs can be taken without breaking a sweat. Look at the bolt on turbo kits for the honduh crowd-all of them 10.5:1 or more running 7 to 9lbs of boost and putting some respectable hp numbers down-tq numbvers suck on those cars...but its honda, what else can i say?

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

i was unaware that higher compression helped spooling time, but now that i think about it, it does make sense. Also, wat kind of numbers are u puting down that u 'smoked' a zo6, care to tell the story?

Post by **rbsileighty** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

I can tell you there is testing going on for a vq35dett... whether it is for the 350Z... I can not.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

well from what i hear , the 'skyline' will come as the infinit G45, a v8 powered 'BMW M fighter' with the attessa ETS system

a custom TT 350z.Worth registering if you like 350z's.They have a great gallery also.

hmm, ill hace to do that, thanks for the link

Post by **Tosh** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

a salesman told my freind, that is in the market for a g35 sedan, that a AWD is coming to the G35. whether this is ture or he was pulling his chain is a mystery. if this is true then i have too beleave that tt power is not far behind?

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

It is true about the AWD G35, the first ones have been entering dealers lots these past couple of weeks.

As for a FI 350Z or G35, Nismo/Infinti RSpec were supposed to offer this as a dealer installed option at least one dealer had even taken a deposit for this but timetable had slipped badly and now it looks as if the factory will leave this to teh aftermarket..

One exception a Infiniti Skyline GTR coming to USA for sure.Rumors alternate about a VQ35TT w/ AWD or a VK45de with AWD in a body close to a G35 Coupe.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

so as of right now the AWD is only available in the sedan version, as it is in japan?

Post by **Cap2501** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

If I remember correctly nissan said something when the g35/V35skyline came out that they were going to be marketing the skyline more as a sports sedan(as it has classicaly been, and a format that is coming back in style) and the 350z as their sports coupe. that may explain the attessa only in the sedan, who knows. or maybe they just wanted the GTR to be more special when it is released.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

well hopefully they bring a GTR coupe, as i think it would be cooler than the sedan, but either way its nice to me

Post by **EazyBreazy** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

you should check out http://www.sportzmagazine.com

The issue isnt out yet and they dont have them on their website, but my buddy and i were with this magazine and about 8 z's when they were doing a super charger shoot out. we were there for the autocross and the 1/4 mile. but that issue will have alot of info in it. they had a stillen, vortec, ati cars there. i may have missed one but theyll have alot of information in that rag for you.

How does high compression help spool, I know it would help in off boost driving, but does it really spool the turbo any faster?

Post by **Def** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 12:13 pm

Yes, higher compression does help the turbo spool faster.

Higher compression engines are more efficient at extracting thermal energy from the gas that is combusted. This means higher exhaust gas temps.

Since a turbine(the exhaust portion of a turbo) gets its power primarily from "using" the heat energy from the hot exhaust gases, a high compression engine has more heat energy available sooner in the powerband for the turbo to use.

That's a really simplified version of what's going on, and it takes at least a whole semester of college level thermodynamics to get the "whole picture", but yes - it happens.
