I was wondering if theres any point in doing a remap when the only thing in my car that isint standard is a blitz induction kit.

I was told today that my car is problaly running 200bhp because its 1993 and cars loose power over the years but a remap would problaly bring me back up to 240bhp to be honest I have heard so many dof stories that im confused, can anyone give me an idea about this and also how could i have my 280bhp back?

thanks in advance guys :)

your is tt right? you wont have lost 80bhp mate. 30bhp max loss id say. a good service with your filter and a remap will get you towards 290-300 mate. deffinately worth getting a boost controller though. then you could push 400bhp with a new exhaust at 14ish psi

Most standard 300zx turbos on the dyno seem to make pretty close to the 280 figure.

 

There are many problems that could cause power loss however, but Age/mileage is not a typical reason for any power loss from the VG, they stand up pretty well in old age.

how does the boos controler actually work?

Is it hard to fit one?

would I be doing any damage to my turbos?

To be honest my car seems to pull very well but i have never been in another zed so i dont really know how it should pull.

I done a dam good service on her 2months ago changing oil again in 2weeks time (silkolene 5 40w) and gear box oil as well.

a boost controller controls the actuator valves and lets you controll the amount of boost the turbos provide. you will not do any damage to your turbos as long as you keep it below 18psi but injectors only allow 14.5psi max so your ok. not sure on how easy to fit but i think my mechanic charged 150 to fit mine but mine is a more complex one that had to be plumed into the gearbox and other bits whereas your average boost controller doesn't. your stock intercoolers should be fine but if you want to be over cautios you could uprate your intercoolers. i am running 13psi at the moment and the difference between that and stock is one hell of alot. once you have upped the boost you will not want to revert to stock.

you do need an aftermarket exhaust to up the boost but its worth it. i have a blitz stainless steel exhaust for sale if your looking for one.
