Upgrading to 450-500hp

[greensparcs]

ok here is my plan for my Z after i come back from deployment and have money to toss around like im at the strip club, and guys feel free to tell me if i need more stuff to make it more streetable and efficent,i already have 555 injectors JWT ECU performance catback and manny boost adjust

a sport level turbo maybe the Z1 600's5 bolt divorced downpipeZ1 SMIC'sChrome Hardpipes for intake and suchand maybe an oil cooler

my goal is to get around 450-500 hp just enough to not be a complete menace on the streets. so if im missing anything PLEASE tell me what else i would need

mucho graciasgreen

you'll need another ecu chip to match the flowrate of the larger turbo's also at those levels you're gonna need bigger I/C's

the ecu cant be programed for the new turbos? what if i get JWT TURBOS? and ive read on the sites that the sides are fine up to around 550 or 600 if you get the best side mounts , id love a FMIC but i posted earlier about it titled A QUESTION OF COOLING and was steered to SMIC so now im confused.

The SMIC's are the way to go (better efficiency, even thought the FMIC looks cooler [no pun intended]). Since the turbos will require u to drop the engine, you might pay attention to 60k/120k service, new clutch and flywheel, and replace any hoses or electrical harnesses that may have become brittle and prone to go out. also replace o2 sensors that attach to 5bolt downpipes. The combo u have should net you 450-500bhp as opposed to 500rwhp. You will aslo want to tune your ECU.

ya probably north of 400whp with a good tune maybe more.
