Alright guys. New to Z ownership but not new to the world of boost :)

 

just wondering what rwhp people have reached with this kind of setup on a 92 TT LWB

 

aftermarket intake

japspeed/catback exhaust

Stage 1 chip

Boost controller/EBC & at what psi/bar.

 

I was running 300hp on my RX7 with a similar-ish setup @ 11-9psi (staged sequential boost pattern)

 

I'm hoping the sturdy V6 will be up for more than my ****el :)

nobody runing similar setup to this? :glare:

assuming a well running and serviced engine of course, and a controller set up for 14.5psi (which most people agree is roughly the safe limit before you need to start other mods like uprated intercoolers, rad, pistons, etc.) you would get approx. 360 at the fly, so roughly 310-325rwhp depending on transmission type/loss. all finger in the air stuff of course! :)

also worth noting that the stock clutch is at its limit on this kind of whp especialy om cars of this age and will most probably slip ...if you are going for a boost upgrade then a clutch is worth budgeting for and dont forget the brake overhaul...excellent results can be had from the standard discs by doing a brake caliper service and uprating the pads to DS2500 and changing the fluid...its great going fast but if you cant stop......!!! a good alternative if its acceleration increase you want is changing the TT diff to a NA one......pound for pound a brilliant mod as others will testify to

and so it begins LOL! the clutch will slip so you need an uprated on - while you are there you might as well get a lightweight flywheel. If you are fitting a lightweight flywheel then a lightweight underdrive pulley is a nice upgrade to go with this....

 

brake - yea, a nice set of pads & caliper rebuild will be a worthwhile addition - but then if you are spending out on this then hey - lets get a bigger brake upgrade. Time for suspension mods too etc etc etc!

 

keep it stock or prepare for lots of spending LOL! :D

in it for the long haul guys! gotta replace some bits n bobs anyway. Not looking for crazy hp at the mo but the EBC + stage 1 chip looked like a good place to start, and certainly not looking to crank it up on silly boost on the stock twins. and yes, would go for a full manual conversion + uprated clutch/fly if running over that.

 

been eyeing some reasonable looking drilled/vented discs and EBC pads too. wont go as far as big pot conversion just yet. got to get to know her first and hope she doesnt throw me any surprises! gotta get round her with a few essentials first. that wont stop me scheming ;) did a lot with the RX7 while i owned her. took a bit of head scratching to achieve 300bhp without blowing it up. free revving but a bit fragile imo!

 

Just want the same level of performance in the long run. the 300 is a good 200-300kg heavier than the rex, so she needs beefing up :D

Dont forget while the flywheel is off etc get a one piece prop :lol:

this is more commonly known as "while i'm here" syndrome. i hear many forum members have it.. :D

ohh yes. and some spark plugs will do nicely :biggrin:
