I've had my 04 G35 Coupe 6MT for almost a year now and am trying to put together a plan of attack for raising real horsepower. My last car was a 97 Eclipse GS-T. I put over $7,000 into modifications and achieved 287 horses
at the wheels. I got most of my information from MachV.com on what worked best for the car. I've been reading and listening and have put together a list for my G. Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

350 intake pipe, KN cold air intake, Unorthodox Racing Pulley Combo, Borla
Catback exhaust, Strup headers, and Technosquare ECU upgrade.

From the manufacturer's claims, I'm hoping for a HP gain of 60+. Is that
realistic or am I dreaming?

Thanks

 

You are dreaming.....

Stock you are putting down 233ish hp.

With all the NA mods in the world (including cams and head work) NO ONE has hit 300 rwhp yet. With your small mod list you are expecting to hit 293ish? You realalitically may hit 260rwhp, and I think that is being generous.

If you want REAL power FI is the only way to go. But, that $7,000 figure won't even put a dent in a good FI setup, unless you plan on adding a 1 out in front of it!

Please keep us updated with your project.

 

I would go with an Injen CAI, i love mine.........look sbetter than the z-tube and factory air box anyways, there are so many baffles in the stock intake

 

Thanks KP. Actually, when I mentioned the 60+ HP I was refering to the addition in
terms of over the stock. ( 280 at the crank) So if I do all of the math in changing
crank HP into wheel HP, I'm thinking 260 wheel HP might be close.

One more quicky. How much is Technosquare going to be able to help me?

Thanks again!

If you have 2004.5 they have not got the flash quite right yet. I would wait on that. There a member on my350z who is having problem with the flash on his 2004.5.
