Because the sad reality is that you need to drop 3k or so to even get + 20-30 hp for this car when a supercharger can be had for a few thousand more. Of course a tt is a only a few thousand more than that...*sigh* slippery slopes

If they let me pay for the TT $300-$1000 at a time while its on my car I would be down.

Soooo back to my question.....is there any true power gainers for bolt ons?

JustNgo

Yes, bolt-ons can give you some power on this car, however, if you want cheap mods, it depends on your definition of "cheap" because intakes usually go around $500, exhaust goes around $1200, and a tune goes for...as much as your tuner wants to charge.

The short answer is, yes, bolt-ons will give you some power (looks like the average for intakes + CBE + tune (sometimes w/ HFC) is around 20 hp with some people going +/- 15) BUT that's for about 3k...

cai,,,,, full exhaust ,,,,,,upREV tune ,,,they say u will feel the power difference. thats about 2500$

Q8y_drifter

he's asking about the bang for the buck mods not what's available for the car :/

For me I'd go with test pipes ($200) and uprev tune (~$500)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and also suggest the Hypertech tuner. Removing the 0-60 throttle restriction really makes this feel like a whole new car.

Plus, you can remove their tune whenever you want... and sell the thing down the road if you ever get another car.

HP gains aren't all that significant according to their own dynos, but when you can fully open up the throttle under 60mph, you honestly won't care.

F/I is only way to go. There is really no alternative for the VQ's. With me in a stock 350z vs. a 350z with every n/a mod available, I pulled on him several times with highway roll runs. The same will be said for the VQ37.

F/I is outta the question for me...I wanna try and stay in the warranty. At least with a few bolt ons most dealers are ok with it.

200 bux for a test pipe...seriously its just a tube with a bung on it for the 02 sensor

Wow those exhaust systems are crazy expensive too. Any good reviews with people making their own with maganaflows?

The Hyper Tech tuner gets rid of that restriction? Looks very promising

thx guys for chiming in

JustNgo

Yeah, mods for this car are relatively expensive with weak gains...Since you're not in California, test pipes/hfc will help you out, but if you don't want to void the warranty, the best you can get is probably get intakes, hfc, cbe, and a tune for some modest to decent gains. Although if you're going to get a tuner and a custom tune, it's usually best to wait until after you've added the other mods otherwise your tune will be wasted.

Q8y_drifter

$200 is too much for test pipes? uh ok...

This made me laugh!!! Lol


Yeah dude, this car is not at all cheap to mod..... Unless you compare it to modding a GTR.

DannyPoopyPants

easy there...
I'm just saying a local pipe shop can make you one for 80bux or so...there's no science to a TP, just a straight pipe with a bung on it.

Thx for all the replies. Sux, I was hoping to hear like aftermarket headers are crazy good for these engines and made big numbers
