for the guys running 500bhp can you give me a run down of parts and whats in volved to get that kind of power thanks

All the internals (pistons, rods and that).

Turbos,

Injectors,

Exhaust,

Right spark plugs,

Air filters

Decent remap

Or if your budget doesn't stretch that far see Turbonoz. He could tune a potato to about 400bhp. It's still bloody fast. I want half a thousand one day too but till then the car is great as it is now.

can of worms this one !!

1) Turbos - GT2560R

2) 750cc Injectors

3) Apexi AVC-R

4) Big FMIC

5) 2.5" free flow exhaust

6) Dual Intake

 

and basicly thats it ;)

I have to be honest, getting big numbers out of a normal engine worries me. Not saying there's anything wrong with it but wonder if your pushing something to the lit, how long it'll last.

There are many ways one can achieve, post mortem. Way more Americans running those numbers than over here, http://www.300zxclub.com. It really depends what you want, as they say cheap, reliable, fast you can only pick two.

I see what you guys are saying . so far the car has cat back system, cone intake, boost is 14psi and chip stock turbos . I want to do intercoolers next. but after this what is the next step. the car deffo need more power that's for sure

You need a bigger rad, stage 3 clutch to handle it, to reach your goal your turbos need replacing, I am lucky enough to of hit 500 without doing internals, my spec list is in 'my garage', if you care to peruse :yes:.

next logical steps are:

underdrive pulley

2.5" intake piping with preferably 2.5" in/out to your ICs

downpipes and decat(3" is better) - however, if you're going to bigger turbos later, i would suggest you wait and just get 5bolt ones with bigger tubs

 

you'll want bigger injectors or to run higher fuel pressure

 

But most importantly, stop using a generic chip and go see TurboNoz

that is a crazy long list indeed

Just had a look at your garage, I thought phutumsch was a dump valve noise lol as in

 

"Grrrrrrr-phtumsch!":lol:

A common misconception - I like to think that a bit more thought as gone into it than that :sad:.

Agreed, lots in there of my lighting mods but amongst it there as been some engine work :cool3:.

Sorry would it make you feel better if I changed my username to "honk" :biggrin:

does changing to 2.5 really help has any one dynode it to see ? also does the 300 respond well to decat? I know from the past with other cars that some do and some don't like decat

so you can run 500 on stock pistons ect..

yes if they're in good condition and it's a good tune - see my note on a proper remap.

i give you a list what you need for 500bhp...

yes, it does make a significant difference, especially to the mid range/spool up.

 

The main thing about the vg30 is to allow it to breathe. reduce the bottleneck on the intake and exhaust side, then open up the heads ...

wonder then should I decat it .does the intercool inlets outlets need to be 2.5 aswell is that a must

only if you're going for the 2.5 piping.

 

decating helps too, some people say it causes tubs to smoke, but in reality they must be on the way out already and cats were masking it

According to some you only need some of this........................

 

If you want 500hp and don't want to rebuild the engine the first thing I would do is a compression test just to give you an idea of the health of the engine then

 

Full 3in exhaust including elbows no cats

2.5in intake piping

I'd personally go for something like the dual pop intake

Intercoolers or front mount

Spark plugs

At least 550cc injectors

Turbo upgrade

Bigger rad

And proper Remap

 

Also other things to consider are things like deleting a few things, cambelt if not been done, then just general service items like fuel filter ect,

 

If your not doing the work yourself I'd budget a good few grand

PMSL... are you sying theres a few fairies on here... :wub:

I wouldn't be surprised if your generic chip was providing you with more than 350fwhp so, many will tell you it's good for 370 odd, in reality most seen to produce 330-350... A proper tube would more than likely net you circa 400hp
