Thanks, I thought about wrapping the motordyne manifold also but with all the crevices it would be tough. The tape isn't very forgiving

dirTy_shoeZ 05-14-2012 01:09 AM

Looks good bro :).

Boost_lee 05-14-2012 02:54 AM

Thanks Mike :D
Jorge will tune me up once I get the funds

Got the car Uprev tuned today. Squeezed out 300hp and 256tq; not as high as others, but they're just numbers :)

Previous numbers were 288hp/251tq at 72 degrees on a COBB basemap. Today was hotter at 93 degrees. Car feels a little more responsive.

I'm not sure why my car isn't making as much power, but if I have time and money we may try again on the stock intake manifold. New plugs might not hurt, though the car is only at 23,xxx miles

Those arnt bad lee if i were you though i wouldnt switch to the stock intake manifold u will only see minimal top end hp gains and probably a loss in torque over the whole curve. Its just numbers. Remember u still have the most badass 370z u have a trophy to prove it haha

Mr.Squeeze 05-21-2012 03:40 PM

Nice good job Boost:tup:

MaDMaXX 05-21-2012 07:50 PM

Though it's nice to have good top numbers, personally, i don't drive up there, i love the gains lower down where i use them all the time :)

Boost_lee 05-22-2012 03:48 AM

Thanks guys

on a side note - Syncro Rev Match + my exhaust + an underpass/bridge = :driving::happydance:

Boost_lee 06-07-2012 02:53 AM

Here I go again with thoughts about selling the car :icon14: I only wonder how much I could get for it, as is?

I am keeping my eye out for some new wheels though...

delusional 06-07-2012 03:03 AM

nooo dont sell it. your car looks so perfect as it is. what would you be looking to buy if you do sell it?

Boost_lee 06-07-2012 03:57 AM

Thanks, hopefully that would help it sell $$ :D

I would just finish up my current project car, reach my track goal, then sell it. Get my truck a few mods, then save for a better project car or purpose built car

sfearl1 06-07-2012 08:08 AM

Why not sell the Accord, get your truck some mods and boost the Z?

Viera 06-07-2012 08:19 AM

I think you and Flushnismo have the nicest blue Z's on here. Just sayin'

Boost_lee 06-07-2012 05:45 PM

thanks guys, not sure what used 09's go for nowadays

Selling the accord is another option, but I know that the funds from the sale would not cover a turbo kit for the z

That Boosted Performance is looking QUITE tempting, sir :tup:

NBZ34 06-08-2012 11:45 AM

Lee, I've been seeing figures in the mid 20's for used '09s.

Boost_lee 06-08-2012 04:54 PM

I've been eyeing Sasha's kit for a while...

Are the 09's stock? If I could get 29 for mine with all the mods, I'd probably take it

Me too... I would love to get my hands on that kit.

It might be kinda hard to sell her at 29k...considering many others can be found for a lot less. But you never know..have you tried putting her on Craigslist yet to see if anyone bites?

chuckd05 06-10-2012 11:28 AM

U can buy a car new at 29k. It's not with it to sell it financially but if you're tired of it it is what it is.

Fwiw I sold all my mods in less than a week because I priced them Right (about half of new) and recooped WAY more than I would of if I sold it as is for a little more money.

Now a year later I regret putting money into the car for Intake, exhaust, tune, headers, gears, etc. blades is a perfect example n/a performance mods are a complete waste of money outside of exhausts for sound. I could of saved all that money and went FI and I woulda still owned the Z.

Esfourteen (nick) just got a turbo kit and the car is now a proper Z
Looks with speed to back it up. Think about going FI before you sell. You'll
Love the car all over again !

Couldn't agree more. If FI is something you plan on having, even if it is way down the road, I would try to resist the mod bug and not buy any NA performance parts. FI will become a reality that much quicker if you do... I would have saved a lot of money if I did that :(

Couldnt agree more with you Chuck.

I Turbo Z is a blast to drive you will love it man its that simple.

Get the BP kit Lee Sasha work is top nouch a close friend of mine with a 350z has his kit. Its great simple easy to install I know I am one of very few on this forum to see one in person.

GET IT LEE

esfourteen 06-11-2012 10:18 AM

I definitely fell in love with the Z all over again, it really is like a new car and it drives completely like stock off boost. I would recommend getting a ride in a boosted Z before you sell if more power is what you're looking for.

Boost_lee 06-11-2012 04:33 PM

Thanks guys. I'll take it into consideration

Been waiting on Ron for the ride :D

Ron 06-11-2012 04:58 PM

maaan I wanted to go to nismo fiesta so bad! car wasn't ready. Just hit me up if you are ever in Houston, I'll make sure you keep that Z!

W.O.W. 370Z 06-11-2012 05:40 PM

Don't sell the Z. Go FI. You won't regret it!

Boost_lee 06-11-2012 06:32 PM

Damn you boost junkies...I'll take you up on that offer Ron

98intrigue 06-11-2012 08:57 PM

Sell it:stirthepot::roflpuke2:

Boost_lee 06-11-2012 09:56 PM

Who knows, I might have the same luck as you with fi...

Unless Lutz Performance gets a hold of your car, you will have much better luck no matter the outcome:tup:

Would hate to see you sell it, been one of my favorite's on the site but back in March i sold my completely stock 09 base auto chicane yellow Z for $25,000 had about 20-21K miles on it.

NBZ34 06-22-2012 11:06 AM

If you do sell it, i call dibs on the ART pipes!

Looks awesome boost. Love the blue effect on the first picture on the cement. Is that just reflection?

Mr.Squeeze 07-10-2012 09:22 PM

^^^^^^ Your car is just Sexy Boost :tup:
