Supercharged 350Z

[IanZ]

I got to the point last year of being in a position to either sell up & buy a R34 GTR or s/c my 350. After failing to sell my z (and not having the heart to strip it) I decided to boost it.

Brief engine spec. HKS supercharger, 600CC injectors, Return fuel system, bigger radiator, cosworth plenum

420hp (380 hubs) 350 ft/lb

A few install pics (It was installed in the middle of march at the side of my house )








And a few pics of it finished

Nice car but shame you messed about with the interior

Great engine conversion - must go very well now!

As above though - what is the reason for the rev counter next to the stock rev counter?

Its kind of important, it tells me how fast im going

If you mean the gauges on the pillar then theres water temp, fuel pressure & in the centre there is boost, oil temp & oil pressure

Lots of gauges? all really needed? however, i think the camera lens makes them look bigger than they actually are..

Careful, you didn't spend £25k on forged internals, so it WILL blow up.

I'm amazed it cost him so much, someone seen him coming (anyone who spends £25k on a built motor & TT kit has been taken for a ride)

Poor Val

What sort of costs are you looking at for that install (including parts)?

My total cost was around 9k i could have done it a lot cheaper by using cheaper brands but i wanted the best

[Diesel Meister]

Bargain. Well, compared to some FI'd 350s at least....

[350zStee]

That leaves you just £16k to spend on a replacement engine when yours blows up

Which it almost certainly will seeing as I built it myself & didnt forge the engine

One with a few other Zeds. (It wasn't a stall btw, For some reason my car cut out approaching the roundabout )

I've been using your vids as reference re a Blitz Nur Spec T!

[russy01]

Nice car, but vids weren't the best!!

[JayK12]

Well nice that Z is.

Can you get a rear diffuser that would kinda finish up the lower bumper / exhaust?

Yeah theres a couple of diffusers that I like but to fit them I'd have untuck the rear bumper & would have the 2nd exhaust cut out on show which might look a bit crap

[Animal]

Ian,

How did you find the Blitz exhaust when you had it? What was the quality like? Was it boomy?
