I went out looking for a G35 coupe and after test driving both models I decided on a 2005 Sport/Premium package... 5AT over the 6MT, because this car will be used mostly as a daily driver. In my pre-buying research, however, I overlooked the fact that the 5AT only has 280 flywheel hp to the 298 of the 6MT. Even though this will be a daily driver I would like a little extra kick for mountain driving etc...So I was wondering if I could get up to around 300 fwhp with bolt-on mods. I know that is a pretty big stretch for bolt-ons for most cars, but I don't want to tamper with my car's reliability with forced induction or major internal mods, I have my Mustang for that. Also, where is a good place to look for chips/reflash? There isn't a reliable import tuning shop anywhere near me.

And yes I know there is a search button but out of the 20+ pages of results I can't find a clear answer to this specific question.

 

your car will probably dyno around 220hp with a bunch of bolt ons you still wont be close. its almost impossible to get 300hp N/A and if you do it will be VERRRRRRRRRRRY expensive. just get a s/c or turbo

 

I would agree with you in keeping it naturally aspirated for longevity. However, I think the drivetrain loss from bhp to whp is going to prevent you from getting back to 300hp with out forced induction.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

well if you were going to get 300whp..it would be rwhp..not fwhp..and youd probably spend the same amount trying to get that number from a NA engine than a FI engine..imo go turbo/SC..better bang for your $

 

I'm assuming you mean 220 at the wheels? I'm not looking for 300 at the rear wheels, I just want as close as I can get at the flywheel. Basically I want the same hp as a stock 6MT. I know its not shooting for much but with a 630 rwhp Mustang in my garage I have plenty of horsepower in my life. Once again this will be my daily driver and reliability is a huge factor.


And IROCK...by saying FWHP I was contracting Flywheel Horsepower, sorry for the confusion.

 

dont worry about the reliability aspect,the vq's are built tough and can take a pounding,youre safe with stock internals under 400whp.

Heres some info for ya

I'll definitely consider that, I am a big fan of boost...I noticed you went with an S/C setup, how is it working for you? I have a kenne bell 2.8l on the stang and it does a fantastic job. Did you do all the work yourself, and if so was it difficult? What is a good site to check out FI setups? and if its not recommened as a DIY project, do you know of any good tuning shops in the southeast? Sorry for all the questions but I am brand new at G35 modding and import modding altogether.

 

so far its been working out very well..there was some problems in the begining,but procharger took care of bussiness...seems i had a bad blower and it caused abunch of problems..i have the kit for about 16months...if i had to do it all over again id probably go turbo..only good thing about SC no boost lag..i had it installed in a shop in IN i wouldnt reccommend going there(exotic performance plus) owner is a real d ick. if you decide on diy procharger comes with very detialed install guide..i could have saved myself about 2500.00 and did it myself..as for tuning shops i would google,but "word of ear" is the best way to go..just ask around southeast section

 

Sounds good, I'll definitely do some research...and good threads/sites for FI systems?

 

nice stang

 

Kenne bell rocks.......nice stang btw.

 

If you're interested in going FI check the engine/drivetrain/forced induction section on this site. There is tons of info there about just about every aspect of FI.

 

same power as a 6mt? test pipes, exhaust, plenum spacer, and intake will do all that
