370z, a better bargain than some think!

Redglare · 05-11-2017, 11:40 PM

if nissan only kept updating the 370..... direct injection w/ side port inj. would be a sweet mid cycle refresh ~would easily squeeze out another 20-30ponies. ( I can already picture a 370hp 370z lol)

aside that a headunit refresh with apple carplay would do wonders to this platform.

shoulda woulda coulda... ahh, it's still a great platform,

I don't care for direct injection gas engines due to all the carbon build up issues that come over time.

Hate direct injection also....it is a PITA to clean and for the benefits which are questionable at best...give me port all day long.

At least that's how toyota went about solving the carbon build up and the refreshed mustang 5.0, port injection is still there to keep the carbon from accumulating.

I agree on the radio, they should've added more soft touch on the radio. There's other types of tuning they could've done to get that extra HP, like the manifold would've been 10 extra right there and more aggressive cam tuning.
