350 Z mods and what's the best motor for boosted cars?

Nefarious · #1 01-22-2003, 11:01 PM

Ok what mods would YOU do to a 350 Z? And can anyone tell me what the best motor is for a boosted car. Also can anyone help me with a custom front fascia for the 350 Z cause the stock one looks crappy. I think it looks a little fishy. Picture a fish with his mouth open big I mean really big and thats what I think about when I see it. Try to picture Mick Jagger singing, and there you go! So please any ideas will help

Perhaps you can bodykit it.

Order an R-spec. Done. Should speed it up a bit

Someone said the faster the motor the slower it is unboosted. Like a R-Spec would run like a 1.0 unboosted and run like a 3.8 or higer boosted is this true?

Does anybody have any good suggestions for making a body kit for a bit? Can you use bondo? I don't want a whole shell. I just want to add a front lip, side skirts and rear spoiler.

Thats completely UNtrue and whoever told you that is retarded.

Basically, any motor runs at about 70% unboosted, 115% boosted when compared to a non boosted car.

are you actually gonna body kit the z? I would love to see it done. I don't remember the materials used, but there are a lot of good suggestions if you search for them.

hmmm, i know there is this ''putty'' that is like clay, and when it dries it is like plastic. i am getting some over the weekend so i can begin to put a bodykit on my accord wagon and maybe my s2000. ill tell you how it comes out and ill post pics of how it came out as well.

i would say the motors run at about 50% unboosted, and 110% boosted.
I would get the 3.5 bit mod1 motor

Yea I am going to mod the 350z. I wonder if I will be the first with body kit? Oh well doesn't matter. I wonder if someone can get shypo to come to this thread? I am a little lazy.

I know I can get the R-Spec here but where can I get the Bitmod motor?
