Did someone say high output NA VQ37? :hello:

Loshak AM Performance 370Z Laguna Seca Grand AM Qual laps - YouTube

Plus it cost a hell of a lot more than 50k.

It's possible to make 500hp NA. Just look at Porsche. Been making high HP na flat six engines for years.
It's just a matter of $ and how far are you willing to go.

Then again they are making that hp with a race engine pretty much.

Yeah, he would be better off putting a nice V8 in there.

I'm still of the opinion that it would be fun to build the motor up for more revs :D

Fun yes, worth it money wise no.

who cares about the money. im not rich so dont get the wrong idea, but there is one reason i didnt hop on the bandwagon and get a camaro, mustang, or challenger. because when im driving down the road what do i see comming the other way? about 50 of those cars every single day, over and over. what do i NOT see? a bunch of 370s, ESPECIALLY a nismo like mine, ive yet to see one since ive been back in ohio AND pennsylvania.

Im trying to achieve originality, uniqueness, there are already so many TT and SC 370/nismo's out there its retarded, about 1/3 of all of them are already FI. well how many are NA builds? BESIDES all out race cars..... probably enough to barely need 2 hands to count in the country.

If you get it you get it, if you dont you dont. this route isnt for everyone, and to be perfectly honest i really dont care whether or not people think its financially sound. Is it your money being spent? no? well STFU and wait it out lol maybe im just trying to break off from the herd a little bit. After reading a lot of this i believe you that 500 is a little over zealous, so i will just go into it with a 100% open mind and not expect any one particular result, if i get 375whp cool, if i manage 500 somehow, awesome. ether way im doing it. who knows, maybe after i build the engine up, i might pro charge it. if a pro charger even exists for a 370. point? to be different, dont care about the scrutiny, dont care about the arguments that it seems stupid. Because if you wanted MY opinion i would say that anyone that put a SC on a small displacement V6 is retarded, but you know what? its there decision and im no one to say its not the right one.

If you dont have anything constructive to say, dont let the thread door hit you on the *** on the way out. No troll food here. But if you have a genuine interest to see how this eventually turns out or have any random new found information about a breakthrough in manufacturing parts i might need by all means speak up and stick around.

Good Luck! Who needs money when we have credit cards!

Ok do it stop talking about it and good luck to you.

You Know for lack of better words, your attitude ******* sucks. First off in your first post you start calling people with TT and SC tards with other posts following by you calling us other things. There are alot of people here that are trying to help you but you continue to be ignorant to the facts they are giving you. This is not a american V8 engine in this car. I love how you call us tards but when it comes to HP verse price, we clearly went the more practical way. Go rip your motor out your car and ******* build, and then come back because IMO I can't believe people are still willing to help you with your ignorant attitude.

if it would fit w/o mods i would take it lol. VQ doesnt seem to be a very user friendly engine thus far. its not that it wouldnt make me happy. i just dont want just a turbo. i want an engine that makes no less then a certain amount at any given time.... aka NA. even SC has a power curve, not as delayed as turbos but its still there. turbos are a nightmare when they get older. they dont last nearly as long as the engine. i had a 1984 datson 300zx turbo and then a 1992 300zx after they start to get old, and get miles the tubro is usually the first thing that gives you problems far before the engine decides to take a ****. i have nothing against them, but ive just had bad experience with it. so when my Z hits 150k i dont want to be swaping in another turbine, or any other pricy part on a kit. SC are the same way, the compressor is NOT DESIGNED to last 150, 200, 300k, i think they are actually rated. my guess would be about 60-70k. these parts are designed for a car thats not going to be someones only driving vehicle for 10 years lol. one could argue that a NA build wont last that long ether. not entirely true. most people that build an engine do what to it??? beat it, all the time. at the track and on the street. have you ever tryed building an engine up to TAKE abuse and then not abusing it? except on very rare occasion? like 4-6 times a year at a track? i would love to just slam a turbo on there and get it over with, trust me. its a LOT of power, and its easy. but from my past experience they just dont last even under normal driving conditions, even the little bitty *** thing that came on that 84.

Why are you okay with building a complex N/A car and not ok with swapping a Turbo or Super Charger? :confused:
