The project is finally on the way!

[racerh03]

hey nice pic for a project car i would say do something not seen much yet, put twin turbos on it, good luck man give us some updated pics.

To low of a Comp is bad.

What are your goals? 1/4, Track, or ?

If you go Twins, what boost level? Its 3.5 V6 right?

[igor@af]

First and foremost goal is track. Hit me up on AIM sometime if you get a chance, I'd love to get your advice on all this.

If from what was posted 10.3:1 with the efficiency of the 80-90% from the heads, you might be able to boost 3-4lbs without any real damage. That is the beauty of having a engine management system, so you can take timing out when need be.

Tuning is an art, but you need a pretty big technological canvas to get all the colors on it to make a painting worth looking at.

hey Igor are you using your own personal 350z??? Yea I'll be IMing you later when I'm out of class, I'm obsessed about 350z's and adamant about owning one in the next couple of years. Nothing is more beautiful than a Daytona blue 350z.

[SkylineUSA]

Igor,

AIM me @ ukstang

I am reading up on 350z.

I thought you were going to something with a GTR drive train, that would have been cool, not to cost effective though

yes, igor is using his own 350

[RomainDeaMarchi]

OOOOOO la la, sounds like you have some big plans for it. Looks sweet Good luck

theres a video of a blue TT 350z out and the car is sick.. i sujest going Turbo all the way, but i think a stand alone fuel managments system is kinda over kill and you really gotta know what you are doing.. My friend has a GSR that we are working on.. We installed a revhard kit.. and he desided to tune it with the AEM EMS and its just crazy.. theres so much shit to do.. i sujest tuning with something simpler.. stand alones are over kill.. Turbo will deffinatly yield the biggest results

[igor@af]

As far as turboing goes... our Vortech Supercharger arrived today, and the results should be just perfect.

Our goal is to make around 450-500rwhp, which will not be too difficult with the planned setup.

I am currently considering keeping the stock compression ratio of 10.3:1 for the forged internals. The desired power should be achieved at around 12 PSI.

Remember, this is going to be a track car, not a dyno queen or a drag racer.

The VE for that engine is too great for that comp ratio, and boost level. IMHO

[daveshapellSVT]

yea 12 psi is a bit much for the cpmpression ratio.. i wouldn't think it could hold more than 8psi safely.. I think at 12 its a hand grenade pretty much.. i'd go at least slightly lower on the compression.. under 10 for sure..

[daveshapellSVT]

i take it the vortech is a centrificle setup.. how would you adjust boost?

[SkylineUSA]

Once the car is set up, and tuned you don't need to control the boost. Just have to use that pedal on the right with a bit of touch

[maartenvanthek]

since it's going to be a track car, suspension is way more important than power, because as soon as you go over like 350 bhp, the rear wheels will spin if there isn't enough grip. supergrippy tires and a well set up suspension are things to focus on, not some louzy bhp-number that will give you half a second on a half mile straight...
