For N/A it has a bit of power quiet impressive i can see this being the 240z of the future.... Does anyone know the max power you can get from a 350z? As in Extractors, High flow cat and a good exhaust and tune anyone here know anyone?

For a 2003-2005 model with the 206kW engine, on a good day you'll see around 180rwkW (depending on the dyno).

Mine pulled 195rwkW on CRD's dyno here in Sydney with practically the mods you've listed, but on APS' dyno in Melbourne I'd be lucky to see 180rwkW. When my car was making 185rwkW on CRD's dyno, it was pulling around 170rwkW at APS.

I've seen stock V35s pull higher numbers than stock Z33s, but at the same time it's a case of "different dynos, different operators" so it's hard to say.

The engine delivers power like a passenger car. As you can see, my torque curve is flat as a tack. It's great in the midrange, but until you do all those breathing mods it'll feel a bit choked up top. It depends on what you want with the car.

I've driven a 350Z with a 221kW engine and it's far nicer. The engine revs cleanly all the way to the limiter stock, where a 206kW engine will start to strain from around 1000-1500RPM from redline. The loss of 10Nm in the midrange can barely be felt, but how much smoother it feels in the top third of the rev range makes it a much nicer experience.

With recent times (years 2002 onwards), would it be fair to assume that the ADM models will be just as powerful as JDM, factoring in thier higher fuel octanes ect..? I know that with the last crop of imports by Nissan Aust, eg 200sx, they have always been detuned for various reason, redering them less potent than the cars that are in the same price bracket. As most will know, the GTR all will have same power output reguardless of country being sold at, but will this apply to all Nissans globally?

yea well how was your tune you said the 221 was good to drive but overall was it good to drive with around 180ish kw?

The tune was checked by a few different outfits. CRD did it, APS has checked it, and I've put the car on the rollers at Unigroup and Autotech here in Sydney and they haven't seen any problems with it.

If I wanted a little more power I should put the factory airbox back on the car and fit a K&N drop-in filter. The OEM airbox is a really good design, and aftermarket intakes generally kill power. I just like the noise of it. :thumbsup:

Yeah, it's going OK. The car makes a proper sports car noise at high RPM but is still really quiet at low RPM. With all the mods I've run a G-Tech measured 13.9 ET on regular street tyres on....erm......a private road in the middle of nowhere :huh: That road wasn't entirely flat so it's not 100% indicative, but then if I did a proper launch on a properly grippy surface with heated tyres it should even out.

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
