Where as the normal people on the forum with FI don't generally have the money to build/replace those things when the pop right away so they tend to not go as crazy.
Most shops don't either.

What do you think the longevity is on a engine with a set like this? Your the expert but it don't seem long to me.
We're prepared for anything at this point.

The turbo kit that's on the car can support another 100WHP if needed.

I kept the car at a power level where I thought it would actually have a chance.

Based on the testing we're doing ( more than 1/4 stuff ) it looks surprisingly good. Two months ago i wouldn't have believed it.

We also have a few customer cars - 270WHP, and another one at 300WHP. (Pumpgas)

So far so good.

Its a different turbo.

9 PSI.

The 300whp lives in long island.

Soon to run on e85 with more boost. 15ish

The car is so light, I bet it's a screamer even at 300hp.

yes but you have to remember the entry price for an frs is much lower vs the Z entry price.

They pay what 24k invoice for a base 6mt?, we have to pay 32k for a base non-sport 6mt.

I wonder how much that turbo set up runs them.

True but I feel a little more confident adding 1-200hp more on our cars then one of them.

I guess the point here is that this car has barely hit the street and the 370Z came out in 2009...derp

Yea, also you don't have to slap a turbo kit on the Z to have fun, it has decent power with regular bolt ons.

Very impressive

Actually a couple years down the road, I wouldn't mind buying a used FRS/BRZ and making it into a nice track toy. Boost would only make it 100x more fun

The amount of hype surrounding this car is probably why it's been so popular to mod.. and so quickly. I would even compare it to the 350Z when itr was introduced. It's the new kid in school, full of potential. The BRZ/FRS is an interesting car because it hits the basics of a sports car really well and already addresses the really difficult stuff out of the box. The main one being weight reduction. Getting the Z to the same weight as a BRZ/FRS is next to impossible. Everything outside of the chassis is the "easy" part. It also seemed like the motor had the basis for future forced induction in mind from what I've read. I don't think the VQ37 shared that notion.

But there wasn't this much buzz around the 370Z in 2008/09. Everyone was kind of holding back because of the economic collapse thing. A lot of shops had to shut their doors around that time. It's only now that we're starting to see more shops open again ...so of course they'll pick the car a lot of people are talking about to bring in business. 4 years also isn't really that long a time span. A lot of tuners also skip the Z altogether and play with it's big brother, the GT-R for pure shock value. Something like a GT-R with an Alpha 12 package, blows away pretty much anything you throw at it. Being overshadowed is primarily why the Z has seen less mega horsepower progress in the mod department than what we would like. THe tuners rationale is, why buy a Nissan that needs a lot of work reaching the low 11's when another member of the family can do that out of the box.

That is extremely impressive.

What was even more impressive was the test that Edmunds did. All they changed were rims and tires (lighter and wider) and the car picked up to 1.0g on the skidpad and over 70mph through the slalom. Those are 370z #'s with just a wheel change!

Yes, i'm hating on my own car. Sorry. I want a BRZ real bad right now and If I wasn't getting married in a year, I'd trade the Z in for one.
