complete engine overhaul questions.

KaienZ34 · 12-24-2011, 07:48 AM

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

Supergoji · 12-25-2011, 10:38 PM

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.

KaienZ34 · 12-25-2011, 10:57 PM

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

Skeeterbop · 12-26-2011, 02:36 AM

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

KaienZ34 · 12-26-2011, 09:36 AM

Fun yes, worth it money wise no.

chii370 · 12-30-2011, 01:13 AM

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.

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.

KaienZ34 · 12-30-2011, 07:29 AM

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

so you want to build up for NA, and then throw a supercharger on? makes sense

But I thought you wanted to supercharge

I'd love to see it done. Build the car and give it all you've got. But don't be surprised when you drop 50K into a motor that can't get out of the way of a supercharged Z, and needs a full teardown in 15k miles.

And good luck tossing a blower on your super high compression N/A build!

Rui Z · 12-30-2011, 04:59 PM

Shhhhhhhh just let the OP do it. It's the only way he will learn based on the type of attitude he has.

Good Luck OP!!!

chii370 · 12-30-2011, 07:00 PM

as expected, it doesn't take much to bait scrutiny. surprised you haven't realized yet that the whole point is that im goin to do what im goin to do. i can say i like whatever, and dislike whatever, regardless theres going to always be someone out there that has an unwanted opinion that will over analyze what i say. this is a fantastic site, but unfortunatly is has far to many people who like to troll, and nit pick. use your brain a second, you just got rolled. as expected if i simply mention that i dont like SC, and mention i might go out of my way to put a SC on it some day someone of course thought they were clever for pointing that out. didnt take much. you take things to literal, i did not say i am GOING to do those things, i used examples to further the point that im going to do w/e the **** i want. Im kinda tired of reading random uneducated posts from people that try to give there unwanted self proclaimed expert advice/opinions. like i said, if its not helpful gtfo. i wont be posting results. i thought that the 370 community might benefit from a few experimental projects, but sorry, not interested in sharing now. thank your local trolls. my advice is you stop feeding them, or it will quickly turn this site into a 4chan 2.0 with a bunch of 40 year old dudes getting there jollies from trolling posts behind a veil of anonymity. and before you ask "mad bro?" nope, just taking my business somewhere else where people take it a little more serious and dont misinterpret every post.

also i mentioned i dont care about cost, i enjoy working on cars. some people ENJOY the building part, so who cares if i have to tear it down after 60k miles. ive seen far to many instant gratification whores that know absolutely nothing about working on cars that ether: buy a fast expensive car just because they can, or buy a car like the Z because its popular and try to SC/TT it. successfully yes, but talking to those people for 5 minutes at a car show and you want to shoot yourself in the face because you find out THEY didnt do any of the work, or even know **** about what they have. i will be honest, not every 370 owner uses this site.... obviously, and 50% of the other owners i have met have been in this category. the worst part about it, is that each person thinks they are the resident expert on the subject and even when proven otherwise have no desire to learn the right way. this thread has went from "anyone know anything about this? how about where to get parts?" to what it is now. not interested. kthxbye

I've built a car before. Based on your plans, it doesn't sound like you have. People here are mostly just trying to help.
