if money isn't a problem - pull the motor out for a start - throw in a built LSX with twin turbos - I'd suggest some GT35R's. You'll need to upgrade the fuel system anyway so may as well go all out and set it up for E85 flex. That will net you close to 750rwkw or roughly 1000rwhp in the old money. That probably isn't going to be very useful, let alone with the standard 6 speed so I'd suggest a Quaife QBE sequential box to make it nice and snappy for upshifts during power skids. I reckon budget around $150k for this setup

Or you could just realise like the rest of us that an intake, some high flow cats and an exhaust is about where it ends. Cost you about 2k and will get you maybe 15rwkw.

HAhahahahahahha

So i brought a 2003 v35 350gt sports and i was looking to add more power to it, just wondering if anyone knew what is needed to upgrade the engine a bit, money isn't a problem.

With the way you structured that sentence and choice of words, I could almost guarantee you don't intend on entering the 5 figure engine club...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
