We call that a "Tease" in the deep south! please i need 500whp thats the looks of the car mine screams stock :P |
carbon fiber cutout
What kind of carbon fiber cut out is that on the from bumper? Nice!
|
Its an air duct for the supercharger filter it helps bring cold air from the front you can get it off ebay very common

i found it hard to work on the VQ engine when i had my g35 and its sucks that they cant handle higher PSI on FI setups... the most ive seen on a stock block is no more than 12psi turbo or SC running around 400whp...and thats with moderate driving... i was always scared to push my car to the limit even with just a few bolt ons... but yeah.. cool ride my friend!!! greetings from Syria :D
|
Well the issue is the fueling system the car will lean out at 400whp you need 550cc injectors with return fuel system and walbro 255 pump or 800cc injector ecu scaling and walbro pump should be good
|
The big issue with the DE engine past 400whp is connecting rods. Even if you continue to feed it fuel and have a good tune you are running on borrowed time. There is a very good reason many of the big guns in the Z world move to an LS engine.
If you really plan to go to bigger boost you might as well wait and build the bottom end and do it right the first time. |
I understand but waiting because i ran out of funds so opted to do so later on in the year hopefully
|
I had a G35 and yes, the rods cannot handle much boost. I thoroughly researched an engine build w/ a turbo kit and it made more sense to get a car already built for boost (my GT2).
Take it from me, enjoy the car as a very nice DD w/ a fun 400 hp. If you really want to go big power you will want a different platform (GTR, 996/7TT, etc). |
I couldnt agree more but given my financial situation ill have to make due with 420 whp and take care of the car and hopefully in due a GTR is in the horizon i am only 26 so hard work better things are def in the horizon
