Help don't want forced induction!!!!!

[Mjthind]

Hey guy I have question which has been disturbing me for the past 2 days. Since my Nismo Z is not arriving till July I have a lot time to plan. I don't want to do down the road of forced induction(any more), I was wondering if what I can do in terms of adding hp to the engine. I was thinking of remapping of the ecu, remapping of the management system(don't know if same as ecu), increasing displacement to 4.0L(custom,),light weight engine internals such as titanium(will have to be done custom) (pistons,piston rods,camshafts,etc.), high-flow exhaust, upgraded exhaust manifolds,,bigger oil cooler,radiator ,and custom heads. How much more hp do you guys thinks these mods will add? Is their anything else I can do or have named every single thing I can do to increase hp without going down the path of forced induction. Can you guys please tell me anything else I can do. It will very helpful with your guys suggestion.
Thanks,
Mjthind

You pretty much nailed all the mods to do without forced induction. How come you want to stay away from forced induction? With all the mods and work you listed it sounds like it would cost just as much if not more then FI and you'll easily put more power down going FI. Sounds like a great starting point for a fast car though.

Not to be a smartypants here but have you set down and added up the cost of all those modifications? They are going to cost quite a bit. You might simply consider a different car.

for 21 grand, you could go twin turbo, body kit, and a hot hooker.

Well I want to stay away form FI because I NEED drivability, reliability, hate turbo lag and want a high and fast revving engine. My uncle told the pro and cons of a FI and NA engine,then he said it my choice I chose NA. I was told by my friend that if I do all the stuff that I want to to do my engine (forgot to list light-weight flywheel) my engine will rev up and come down quicker and I would prefer natural power than FI any day and all any. Oh ya I want my life so f*ck FI.

Learn a little more, read around, because I'm convinced you're just listing things of which you have no clue what they are...

well you're right don't have a clue but my uncle know all kinds of NA power so he helpin me on this

You could have just bought a GT-R, but you probably already thought of that. How about an engine swap since your pretty much changing everything anyways. A V8 would make things interesting, but I don't think it will fit What hp number were you gunning for?

I would keep an eye for this thread for ideas.

I think the only thing you didn't mention was weight reduction. i don't know how long ago it was and i forgot the name of the person who created it but there was a full body carbon fiber skyline in japan that was actually over 900lbs lighter than a it's stock version. would probably cost a lot but it seems that money isn't your problem here. that should help a lot with your NA project.

LS2 Swap. end thread

[1slow370]

LS2? really thats sooo G-word. he said titanium rods and hew wants POWER on thing i can think of is LS7 or Viper V10. Also guy you need to ask your uncle why he didn't tell you about superchargers when you asked him N/a or FI. The centrifugals have come a long way from what they were a few years ago, and the twin-screw (look up kenne bell or whipple or vortech vts series) is still the screaming torque king. That will actually make the abysmally small lowend and midrange torque numbers look better while pulling up to redline and you won't be able to tell it apart from a BIG v8.
