Probably a dumb and old question, but what can be done to a sadan to reach the coupe level hp?

 

trade it in for a coupe. ha just kidding.

 

anybody catch the typeo? Honestly, I have another play car, so this is my daily driver. It is an auto, and it feels VERY slow compared to my other car! What can I do

 

force induction? BTW whats ur other car.

A 94 Supra turbo. That is the problem, if I really start playing with the G35 I'll end up divorced. My wife hates the Supra!

 

Had the same issue, ZarG...Wife hated when I watched SCCA, modded rides, discussed cars...Oh yeah- I'm divorced now

Funny thing is, now she wants to reconcile and likes cars...Funny how that happens...No thanks!

you won't gain much unless you go with either the supercharger or FI. The only thing i can think of are crawford, exhaust, intake, header, and ecu if you plan to stay with NA.

btw, that is one fast car you had there. Love that supra and what it can do.

I run 500whp on the street, i can turn it up to 600+whp by changing my aem ecu allowing it to boost past 18psi. It will run 10's all day; I have to keep drag radials to hook up though. BTW anybody who claim to put down those numbers as if it is easy is FOS. When that amount of hp is on the road it is very dangerous for inexperienced drivers ( kids). I laugh when I read certain posts claiming high hp out of Honda'd etc from 17 year olds!

 

"... what can be done to a sadan to reach the coupe level hp?"

1 - TechnoSquare ECU upgrade.
2 - Resonator and muffler replacement. (or dyno proven catback exhaust system)
3 - Mechanical fan replacement.
4 - 350Z Air Duct (for good measure).

I have an SP63 Turbo setup from Sound Performance. But I also changed the Intercooler to a 4-row Greddy, upgraded the fuel rail and added 760cc injectors along with an AEM stand alone ECU and of course proper tuning. I would highly recommend anybody who is modifying a car to ensure they have a good tuner that access to a dyno. I have seen many people add bolt-on parts that are useless because they are clueless!

 

Zland in NC is putting a Vortech on his G35 Coupe as we speak, dynos and pics tommorrow.
