The AMS junk is a cheap knock off of the msp mani's
To elaborate on Nolimit's #4 some known issues include pin holes in the maniofolds, ports not located properly to match up to the block, and un level mating surfaces
Eagle Rods for 400-450whp goal or stay Stock?
Stock intercooler vs eBay $234 SMIC
Got my hands on eBay SMIC which I think is same stuff as Godspeed and any other 300zx TT SMIC knockoff on eBay. No I am not using these on my car.
Significant difference is the size of the intercooler and about 1.2" wider than stock cores. Inlet/Outlet are 2" O.D and 1.7" I.D. on both (very restrictive).
Stock plastic inlet/outlet are actually better than aluminum ones with perfect round and transition to the core.

For what it's worth. I called SZ and spoke with Greg about my whp goal (500-550whp) and he never mentioned anything about touching the bottem end... so you shouldn't have to change anything in the bottom end if 450whp is your goal.spec1sef wrote:Should I buy Eagle H-beam Rods for 450whp goal? I am on budget but if stock rods are not reliable for 450whp then I would spend the money and upgrade them now.
I know our stock motors have made that much but I have my motor out of the car and was thinking this might be the best time to upgrade.
Parts I have bought:
- Stock turbo with upgraded GT28r compressor side.
- 2.5" exhaust and downpipe.
- 575cc JECS injectors.
- Pistons and Rods (stock)
- Z1 chip
I just don't know how stock pistons and rods would hold up at 450whp daily driving in the long run.

I agree with you. I haven't updated my thread lately but I ended up buying Wiseco and Eagle combination just to be safe since I will be running GT2860rs and running high boost on track days.Valdis wrote:For what it's worth.

This one Z recently spun a bearing at 600hp on stock TT motor with GT2860s and e85 tune. I guess all engines are different but that's impressive power out of stock motor with only bolt-on upgrades. I would say 500-550whp is pushing the stock motor.
