Crazy ideas you have.

[ffrpwner]

Heres a thread for some crazy ideas you have had for the z's that you never put out there because your afraid of flame. In here you can just throw out your wildest ideas and dumbest questions =)

My first idea I always thought this was cool but would never work on a z and will probably cause problems but it sounds cool.....imo also is it the same as compressor surge?

[zxFarside]

I want to supercharge my Z. I know its near impossible but hell why not.

There was a guy on here that had a supercharged silver Z32. Don't remember what his name was but it was so freakin cool. He basically removed the twin turbos and mounted a centrifugal supercharger in the driver's side position where the turbo used to mount. It was hidden unless you knew what you were looking at. It would be a very neat and unique mod on a VG.

Well that's another way of doing it I guess lol. The dude I was talking about didn't need to modify the hood at all though.

there was a guy on here that bought a z32 that was supercharged cant remember his name he hasnt posted in forever! heres a pic of his engine bay though

[A Paratroopers 300zx]

Don't own a Z, but doing something like this would be cool:Flame away, kids!

Man that has all kinds of bad police attention written all over it if one were to do that to a Z... or any car for that matter! I had a couple of buddies that got locked up for impersonating a police officer by doing exactly that to their cars. Now, if one were to actually be a law enforcement officer and were to do that to a Z... that would be pretty sick! I don't think I'd mind so much getting pulled over by a sweet Z lol.

[A Paratroopers 300zx]

Bingo, ffrpwner!

[ffrpwner]

Ive always liked that intake set up

[es.biggs]

Why would you want your car to sound like Flipper?

Both those superchargers are sweet. I don't know if I dig revving MY car with no air filter though lol.

[ffrpwner]

OPEN WASTEGATES anyone??????????????????????????

I have like 20 bazillion friends that have them and have yet to see them on a z i figured there was a reason just never researched it....it sounds insane

also mopar bovs are loud as crap and not that high pitched annoying loud it just sonds like a loud rush of air i like that

[Initial_Z]

I WILL get this

i wanted to buy a VG30DET from japan and put it in but its not worth it. Cheaper to Twin Turbo.

The guy with the S/c is Cheromanche. I have a zip folder full of his build pics for a rainy day =)

I've been thinking about buying 4 TT 16 x 8.5 rear wheels and putting them on all around on my NA. What do you guys think? Bad idea?

[Z-owned]

He is now getting it swapped to a tt cause he realized supercharged sucks on the vg.

go for it. It's been done many times in the past and it should reduce some of the understeer our z's are notorious for.

I've got a lot of ideas myself.
1. I'd like to reroute the intake pipes. There's just waay too many bends in the stock route. It should be possible to route them straight forward from the tb's at a downward angle. Less bends, around the same end location.
2. Smic sprayers. Shouldn't be too difficult but I'm not at a point where I will be attempting this anytime soon so I thought I'd throw it out there. It would be especially cool to rig them up to be automatic under hard acceleration or stop-and-go traffic.
3. On another note, I'm curious how much the radiator overflow reservoir disrupts flow on the drivers side intercooler and if it would be with the effort to fab/relocate.
4. I've got one other idea up my sleave that I'd like to keep secret until I do it to my own z...more realistic/doable than the ic sprayers

Go for it ! Should stick a lot better on the road when running in some tight corners. You will Notice better Turn in and more grip out of a Corner

My 13" 335/25-20 inch wheels Sticks to the ground like gum ! When i run on my daily map (280 hp) i can barely manage to do a burnout !
Ofc when i run at my Track map (650+ hp) i got like zero traction in 1, 2 and some of 3 unless i use Slicks..

So go all out for tires )

^^ I wanna see some video clips of your car!!

Hi all. My name is Eddie and I am the one that developed the ATI Procharger kit on the silver 92 shown above in the post. If anyone has any questions, I would love to answer them.

Here is how the car looked about a month before I sold it.

Welcome to NICO Eddie.

My name is Mark.

I have an uncle that oh so happens to have a built 1969 400 small block in his barn that put down somewhere close to 6-700 n/a back when he had it in a car that i could possibly get my hands on.. or at least that's what he told me. Just a thought

[Jimmybee1108]

Im new. My z is just a roller as of now with no interior. So my ideas are out there:
1. The paddle shifters (too bad the car is manual tho)
2. Push button start, with the button being one of the buttons on an aftermarket steering wheel
3. I've seen a door kit, now just bare with me, that is a full motion door kit, that is also a full vertical door kit (for when I go to small time meets and wanna wow the little Honda guys)
4. Maybe a custom intake, I like how the Ferrari style stuff looks (if u can't tell my car is more for a cool and wow factor)
5. Also refiguring piping, maybe somehow getting the turbos to be shown.
6. Carpc that also has an app for showing complete car specs e.g. Speedo, tach, etc.
7. Retrofitting projectors on the hi beams leaving quad projectors with HIDs
8. Speaking of quad, dual compound turbocharger system insanity I kno

A lot of othe ridiculous things

I'm going to have them open, about 1' of pipe tops dumping down to the bottom of the engine bay. Won't be done till winter though still building it

[skywhine]

I would like to eliminate the vvt on the intake cam. Make it solid.

Is it possible to use the exhaust cam gears on the intake cam? Or am I stuck buying $500 worth of aftermarket gears?

I'm building a race engine and have no desire for computer controlled vvt. The less variables the better.

It's been done before - I've seen em welded into 1 piece. The low-end power usually takes a huge sacrifice, which I wouldn't recommend. Especially for a "race engine"..

Not a good idea unless you manage to get a hold of or make yourself a clear lens. The fluting on the original lens is gonna ruin the output of any projector you put in there... Yup, I've tried...


Also, screamer pipes have been done, I know there is one here in Norway who imported a modified Z32 from japan with twin screamers, it was outragously loud according to him self

By race i mean drift, which also mean 90% of it new life will be spent above 5,000 rpm.

Its just an idea in my head now. With the money Im looking at spending, id hate for the ecu to over advance/retard the timing at 7,000 rpm and induce failure. If the cam timing is static, i KNOW this wont happen. Not saying it will. Its a '94 which IIRC means its the updated style.

Ive aslo had problems in the past with extreeme retardation of either the cam(s) or the ignition timing directly after doing a "burn out", causing the car to bog extreemely/missfire for roughly 3-4 seconds before it would clear up and run fine. Now i never actually verified what the problem was, but the more variables i can remove the better. Seems to me if the timing is static everything will be easier to tune/ diagnnose when problems arise, also one less device to fail at the track.
