VikesFan 300ZX TT Update Thread

[vulcanrush]

To cut down on cost and make something special I have decided on going for the Holy Grail. I am going to try and reach 400rwhp. I see no reason I can't reach that with the mods I am planning. It will really help to save that few grand on turbos and if I decided to in the future I could slap on some upgraded turbos that will still fit a 4 bolt DP.
Anyways I think it would be kinda special and fun to say I have 400rwhp with stock turbos.
Here is where I am starting and here are my plans...
I have a stage 3 95 300zx TT
Upgrades-
Popcharger
Stillen 2.5 inch Catback Exhaust
JWT ECU Upgrade

at 13.5 psi I am making 305rwhp

since then I have had the cats cut out...
Downstairs I have
-RPS Max Street Clutch
-Fidanza Nissan Lightweight Flywheel
-Unorthodox 4 peice underdrive pulley set
-H.I. Overdrive Water Pump Pulley
and have SZ 3 inch 4 bolt Downpipes in the mail
They will be installed in the next week or 2

They say ud pulley gives 10-18 hp but I have the set and od pulley. Doing the math with the weight I could not imagine I would not get 20 or even as much as 30rwhp from that.

the other ud pulleys don't give you hp, most of it comes from the ud crank pulley, from what i understand. the od pulley is to spin the water pump accessory back to normal speeds, you won't see too many hp gains from that either.

Not sure what kind of rwhp the DPs will give me with cut out cats.

After that here is what I plan to do, in order:
-3 inch test pipes
-1 piece Aluminium Drive Shaft-they have been dyno'd for 18rwhp
-Upgraded intercoolers with 2.5 inch piping and Throttle Bodies-This combined with test pipes and down pipes have produced 35rwhp
-Water Injection
-Fuel Injectors
-Selin Dual Pop with MAF Translator-Dyno proven 30rwhp gain on cars that already had a popcharger.
-Boost Controler-Not sure how much hp is gained when you up the boost but I would like to push 15-15.5
-Exhaust Manifold...will do this whenever it seems to make the most sense.

This is my math
305rwhp
35rwph-DPs, TPs, Intercooler/piping/throttle bodies.
20-30rwhp-pulleys
15rwhp-driveshaft
30rwhp-dual popcharger
10? for upping the boost? It might be more?

415-425rwhp...That should hit the Holy Grail of 400rwhp on stock turbos.

first, 305rwhp is very impressive, that's like 360hp to the crank? very impressive, great car.

i'm not sure how much money you would save by not going with upgraded turbo's, though.

the 2.5'' piping's aren't cheap, easily 1k, maybe 900. tb's are on sale right now at 3zc.com/store for like 275, but normally they're like 345-350?

the selin set-up is another 600 (with an extra jwt pop charger and a 2nd maf).

i'm not an expert like greg or seb over at specialty-z.com or anything, but i think it would just be easier (and cheaper) to get upgraded turbo's, maybe jwt530's, to achieve 400rwhp than to get the other supporting mods.

Well that is just BigTDogg's opinion. Don't just go by one person's statement.

Oh, and it says right there in the name of the product. Cast Iron.
http://amszstore.com/main/product_info. ... ucts_id=55

Cast iron is like saying your connecting rods are made of steel, versus 4130 ChroMoly . Or your bike frame is made out of aluminum, versus a 6061 T6 aluminum alloy. Wood screws are made of steel, and beer cans are made from aluminum, see where I'm going with this?

The MSP manifolds are made out of high silicon moly ductile iron, the same exact material Garrett uses in their turbine housings. They're cast in the same foundries that Garrett casts their turbine housings. Can't really get much better than that.

AMS manifolds are made in China from who knows what material. Do you want to know what AMS' cost is for these manifolds? $45. Not a misprint, that's $5 less than fifty bucks. A PAIR. Vuk (AMS founder) blabbed this to a friend of mine at ZCON last year. They're shipped with gaskets that don't match the exhaust port size on the head, and fasteners not made from Inconel (as the OEM fasteners and the ones included with the MSP kit are).

I'll stop preaching, but as with so many things, you get what you pay for here. There's only one reason to buy the AMS manifolds, and that's cost. But since they've popped up on eBay for $200, there is no reason to buy the AMS ones any more. There aren't any on there now, but they'll be back.

So it's not my opinion, I'm stating facts. The MSP manifolds are far superior to the AMS knock-offs. I bought mine when they were still a grand, now that they're below $700, they're a steal. That's an opinion. My other opinions I'll keep to my self so I don't get banned here too

It is saving me money because I was going to do all of that PLUS turbos lol. I don't see any sense in just throwing bigger turbos on there and not doing all of that stuff. Plus with all of that stuff done I can just throw on bigger turbos in the future if I want.

[vikesfankevin1986]

Just got my Nismo studs tires and rims will be on tomorrow.

i'm sorry, i didn't explain myself properly, i apologize.

i'm not saying just throw bigger turbo's on there without doing all that stuff, because then you'll see lag, etc. in fact, i have 2.5'' piping's with small turbo's...which aren't that laggy to begin with.

i guess what i'm trying to say is, if your goal, Kevin, is 400rwhp...it's easier and cheaper just to get...jwt530's, etc.

you won't see the full benefits of 2.5'' piping's, z1 tb's, etc. with stock turbo's --- that's what i was trying to say.

also, there was a pretty good article on importtuner.com/magazine where Eric Hsu from Cosworth was taking questions, and one of them is...how much hp/boost can a nissan 350z run on stock internals?

and the point Eric is trying to make is that ppl pay too much attention to dyno numbers instead of real, reliable, daily-driven numbers.

you can get 400rwhp on a dyno, Kevin, but that's pushing your turbo's to the max. to each his/her own, but i generally don't like to push my car to the limit of what it can handle --- parts wear out faster, and there's more maintenance.

also, before looking into 2.5'' piping's, tp's, please look into upgrading your radiator and oil cooler. you'll be generating more heat.

Agreed, a solid foundation is critical in any upgrade path.

Thanks for the tip with the radiator and oil cooler. I will look into that. Origionally my goal was like 11.9 in the quarter and 450-500 rwhp. Next summer I have a 7500 dollar bonus and I was planning to do everything. However I think that would barely cover parts and I'm not sure if I even have someone to do the work. So after reading a few things I saw the power that is possible with stock turbos. I know there is aleast 1 person on here running mid 12's with stock turbos and not even all the upgrades I would have and honestly that might be enough for me. After reading some more I decided I wanted to try and hit that number of 400rwhp on stock turbos. That is one goal. If I decide in the future, or when I need new turbos from running 15 pounds of boost, that I want to hit that 450-500 I can just slap some turbos on then and already have everything done.
Thanks for your imput though. I do appreciate it.
Oh on a final note, after this summer this car WILL NOT be a daily driver.

You'll definitely notice the benefits of the 2.5" charge path with stock turbos. Yes, you'll notice more with bigger turbos, but that's true for all uprades. Dual MAF/Dual POPs will increase performance on stockers, and upgraded turbos alike. So if he has plans for larger turbos in the future, this is the most economical way to do it; less money to spend when he does upgrade turbos.

I would say, IMO, that upgrading your radiator and oil cooler before the 2.5" plumbing is a good idea. But you can get test pipes now, those are too fun to wait for :-)

[vikesfankevin1986]

I will think about the radiator and oil cooler. I won't be doing the big mods until next summer. I do live in Minnesota, so it usually isn't that hot out.

[vikesfankevin1986]

Got the SZ 3" Downpipes in the mail today pics tomorrow!

[vikesfankevin1986]

Aren't these pretty little things

[vulcanrush]

is that the 4-bolt, Kevin?

[vikesfankevin1986]

yes it is

[vulcanrush]

why 4-bolt instead of 5-bolt?

what turbo's were you thinking of going with?

[vikesfankevin1986]

Decided to try and make 400rwhp with stock turbos. If I want to upgrade in the future I can put something small in.

[ztommyx]

nice little shiney things...

so what's that smaller pipe for and what does it do?

[vikesfankevin1986]

ztommyx, you're kidding right? My sarcasm detector is out of batteries.

[legion]

haha best reason ever!

ztommyx, you're kidding right? My sarcasm detector is out of batteries.

yes he is kidding, that's just Tommy's weird sense of humor lol

[vikesfankevin1986]

Got my new tires put on today. And yes that means I got my rims put back on. I know you guys don't like them but seriously my car got more looks today than it has the entire time I had the stock rims on there. People driving were looking over. Guys at the gas station were looking over and 3 kids on skateboards couldn't look away. They must ball be thinking "wow those are some crappy rims on that car" and "gearhead wanna be" right guys Oh well. crappy or not I like the rims better than the stock ones. Also I got a comment about the age. I was talking to this guy at the garage and he said he likes the way my exhaust sounds and thats how he wanted his car to sound. He came outside and was looking at it and of course, asked what it was...
"a Nissan 300ZX"
"oh...so what year is it?"
"its a 95"
"what year?" with a puzzled look on his face
"a 95"
"well no s***" and walked around the car once

I can't wait to get the car dynod after the next upgrades. I think it has a lot more power than people think. I got on my car once and sure enough broke the tires loose with the boost kicked in. Granted it is 45 degrees out but that is 20 inches of rubber on some pretty sticky tires that just let go.

[vikesfankevin1986]

sorry this doesn't have anything to do with anything and I know i have a rep on here already but I need to rant. I am furious and of course my wife thinks I'm over reacting. Ok so I'm trying to spend time with her before she goes to work. There are 4 different things on that I want to watch but I decide to watch what she wants to to be nice. So we watched Law and Order SVU. The last time I watched this show I got pissed but thought I would stick it out.
Ok real brief overview of the episode.
1 girl claims she got raped.
2 guy claims it was rough sex
SVU is devided on who was telling the truth.
Key points of her
1 She goes over to her teachers place to talk about her project wearing sexy clothes.
2 Has several glasses of wine and kisses him.
3 After the rape she throws a wine bottle at the taxi window.
4 Forgets to mention she has sex with her b/f on a regular basis.
5 Accuses the cop with a flawless 12 year record of working with rape victims of touching her Inappropriately because he gave her a ride home and helped her up the stairs but she fell backwards and he caught her.
6 They find her in her tube passed out from a pill overdose.
7 She did have marks on her neck and arm

Points about the guy
1 He claims she wanted it rough.
2 He does not have a violent past.
3 He admits he made a bad decision but broke no laws.
4 His wife is suing him for full custody of the kid, he loses his job, loses his home, life ruined.
So the case goes to trial and here is how it ends

In the case of blah blah blah we fine the defendant...END OF SHOW
WTF!?!?! Why would you making a f*** show with no f*** ending? My wife is trying to tell me they are making a point. Yea they are making a point....THERE IS NOT NEED TO WATCH THIS SHOW. An hour of my life gone. If they wern't going to make an ending why not just end the show 5 minutes in? What if we are all tied up on pass time and the show ended just before the last race crosses the finish line? What if during the World Series of p0ker they just ended it on the river card on the final hand. What if we ended the Super Bowl with 1 second to go, all tied up, team kicking a field goal? This is the worst ending to anything I have seen since the third matrix movie. At least by the end of the matrix I wasn't excited to see how it end. WTF do not watch this show.

[Initial_Z]

^ Give me back two minutes of my life lol

[vikesfankevin1986]

On a note related to my car...
I called up the guy that will be pulling my transmission and all that other good stuff to see when he thinks he can do it and it doesn't sound like it will be any time soon...I'm starting to get annoyed. He said first week of may before...I hope I can get it done before I park it for the winter at this rate...My wifes saturn is more fun to drive than my car right now. I had her car doing 85 on the highway. My car can't go over 80...

[vikesfankevin1986]

Ok I made of list of things done to the car and things I want done to it. I listed everything i could think of or remember. I listed brands and prices. I have a couple of questions through out. If you guys could help answer them that would be great. If you have any suggestions or corrections that would be great too. Any imput or things I could add would be great

i think the mike smith performance manifolds are a pretty cool upgrade, i would get them before i get the upgraded intercoolers and piping's. esp for stock turbo's.

if i had a dime for everyone who calls brakes "breaks"

since your car is a 95tt, i don't think you need the 300degrees stuff as that's for newer-style injectors into older-style engines.

Correct on the fuel rails. But I would definitely get new insulators and o-rings.

If I were to be a grammar nazi over here I'd have no time to get anything done

hey, weren't you the guy who said my replies weren't sentences since i was in a hurry to type?

BigTDogg Thanks for all the pointers. Those will help a lot. The only thing about the exhaust manifold is the motor has to be pulled and I would like to stay away from that if possible. No upgraded cams is great for me. It will save me a nice chuck of cash. Ok for now on I will refer to them as wheels and not rims...happy? I know my grammer wasn't great on this. I was just throwing things together. I feels stupid about the brake thing lol. I was typing a lot of this up last night when I was finishing off the wifes alcohol...Maybe I should have proof read it today. Oh and the KingZ nose, I like it because you can see the intakes and I felt a noticeable difference when I drove around with my nose panel completely off. I think it will add performance.

[vikesfankevin1986]

Oh and what is the deal with Ultimate Z?
