350z Turbo ?

[mico]

does anyone know if the 350z was ever released from factory with a turbo, or twin ?

[Bluprint]

No it wasn't.

Some aftermarket companies may have done their own special turbo model, in addition to the turbo kits that are around.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Nope, which kinda sucks cuz the Z32 was Twin Turbo.

I think this car would have been crazy if from factory with Twin Turbos.

Guess Nissan was saving it for the GTR, LOL!

But as Bluprint said, aftermarket companies have made TT Kits for them. I think HKS was the first in Japan, then other companies did it and APS (Air Power Systems) did it in Melbourne.

what is a z32 mate ? some sort of skyline ?

[Bliksem]

Z32 = 300ZX

Z33 = 350Z

[[200]]

If you buy one put a 20B in it like this mad flamin mongrel did,

[mico]

Z32 = 300ZX

Z33 = 350Z

ah, thanx mate.

LOL!

I should have typed 300ZX (Z32)

Didn't mean to confuse you.

Z32 = 300ZX

Z33 = 350Z

Thanks

GReddy was the first to release theirs.

APS and Power Enterprise released theirs soon after, I'm not sure which was first.

HKS' twin turbo kit is relatively recent. Their released a Rotrex supercharger kit for the car first, then a single turbo, then the twins.

Quite a few US companies have released some (JWT, Turbonetics) which apparently are quite good value if you live over there.

There has never been a twin turbo 350Z. The closest to factory supported you'll find is the Nissan UK developed 350Z GTS, powered by a Novidem supercharger. It never went in to production.

Cool man, thanks for that update!

Yeah I talk to a guy on Fast Autos Forum (FAF) and he is now on my350z.com and he is thinking about the supercharger if not twin turbos.

They are quite the popular car over in the USA.

cheers guys

if i got a 350z (which i did consider but leaned back to the skyline coz my gf has a 350) i would go a plenum spacer and full stroker kit before a turbo conversion. u can get a stroker up to 4.2 litres for the with enough coin lol

i think i might get one later on when they r hell cheap lol

Stroking the VQ35DE will technically only get you 3.8L. You need to resleeve the block and bore it out to get 4.2L (technically 4.15L).

A crate 4.15L motor from GT Motorsports in the US will cost you USD$15,000. I'm not sure if this is the company Carl sourced his engine from, but either way the right build up can handle 500rwkW.

I can't find the URL (BLISTC sent it to me) but there's a normally aspirated 4.15L VQ making around 260rwkW on a US dyno in a V35. That's practically VQ35DE+TT power. I just can't remember how legal it was, exhaust-wise.

I hear the 370Z is even better.
