Looking to add quick HP - HOW?

Ne14glf · 12-21-2012, 01:34 PM

Ok I've gotten into the whole Z fever.

I wanna go faster now. I have a 2012 370Z Touring - so far all stock. What are the quick easy ways to add HP?

Otherwise I am looking at adding an exhaust and air intake and tuner? Suggestions!

Or if I do all that and want to add a supercharger later is it all for not?

Help?!?!

This post belongs in engine section. Intake, exhaust, and uprev are great first mods and will not interfere with a supercharger later on.

Just slap some NOS stickers and racing stripes to help with the aero dynamics of the car and call it a day.
Or you could research and go from there.

Use the "search" function.

but exhaust is always needed even with a supercharger. tune you can do without especially with just the bolt on stuff. intakes will go away with a supercharger so jsut get drop in filters to save on money for boost.

Test pipe, Exhaust system and Uprev custom tune is all you need for "quick" HP.
For later if you decided to go SC or TT you don't have to chance the modification you have done.

JDM stickers at 5hp each. Get about 10 or so of them

From what I have read and seen. There is not so much that you can do for a big noticable gain in HP beside going into forced induction which runs up your wallet pretty fast with these blocks.

Best way would be an RB26/30 engine swap

Oreillyauto has a great drop in part that will add all the power you need.

RonRizz · 12-24-2012, 08:32 AM

Thats Awesome. Can I get that for a 2011 base/sport??

cheshirecat · 12-24-2012, 05:39 PM

Biggest bang for the buck would be test pipes. Not the easiest install, but whatever- that's your answer.

I got one of these. It's fun, but not real reliable. When it runs low on juice. You might find yourself someplace else. Woke up too many times wanting to do a double coyote ugly.
