I most likely won't bump displacement considering the fact it's getting boosted down the road. I understand what you're saying in terms of spinning the engine. My goal isn't to just spin it to the moon arbitrarily. I don't remember the formula, but you can determine your torque multiplication factor from one gear to the next to see at what rpm it's best to shift. I'm certain that whatever rpm that is will be higher than before. Martin is a great tuner in my back yard, so he will most likely be handling the tuning aspect. I just dont like running in blind and run around ignorant during the process :) Headers and retune are next as I plan how best to take the follow on steps. All the intake, exhaust, ported manifolds and TB's are already installed, just need retuned after Elmo and I get them on. |

Alright, I know I'm missing something; things I still need to buy, minus small things...
Arp L19 head studs New head gaskets (OEM?) Call Phunk for fueling (E85 compatible rated at 600-700whp [future F.I. req]) Spend $$$ for install (I can hear my wallet crying) ... it just hit me, but I'm most likely going to need a new flywheel unless I want to see it self destruct. Might as well do the clutch at that point. I didn't plan on tinkering with the bottom end unless absolutely necessary... Just concerned about the main bearings. It's a street car, so it's life will mostly be spent in traffic with some spirited driving. She will see the occasional drag strip and track day. I have everything else covered. ATI damper, oil pump gears, Z1 headers, ported TB's and manifolds, normal bolt ons, tuning... The perfectionist in me wants to port the heads, but my wallet tells me it's foolish, considering they're all put together and won't be worth much more than a few hp lol. And that leads to a slippery slope of financial pain. Because then I'm going to want the EPS TB's, port them, upgrade the intakes to 2.75"-3", and more dumb, expensive stuff that's just a tiny bit better than what I have. I'll update my journal when I get back stateside next month and have actual pictures to post. |

Turbos on this platform have gotten to a point where it's mature and a reliable way to make power. To do the same with a supercharged kit, it's unknown territory at over 580whp. The Z doesn't need 500lbft of torque and centrifugal superchargers did great at keeping torque from reaching stupid levels. I would seriously consider supercharging again if it could take this car to turbo hp levels (600-650whp). Idk, honestly, it might be the better way to go. I'll cross that bridge when I get there lol. |
