My old 350z had the same amount of oil to the drop for 7 years of me changing the oil yet this motor eats up oil.
I'm not hating the VQ as this is my 3rd Z in 12 Years but it's time for a refresh. The Z also needs to go on a serious diet and lose at least 300 pounds

i just dont see 300+BHP out of a 4cyl turbo coming in a Z. i would love it since it would probably be a pretty strong block where you could do a turbo swap and bump the HP a bunch without having to do a full bottom end forging. so it could work in the long run i guess.
