Hello, new to the group. I picked up a twin turbo g35, 2003. I am looking to mod it out to pick up roughly low 500s high 400s. It is fairly stock for the most part as far as the block. What should I start with, internals, FBO, etc? What it has done so far is.. -
Greddy Twin Turbo Kit on 6.5 PSI
HKS SQV4 blow off valve
Berk test pipes with 370z y-pipe
Z1 clutch and midweight flywheel
Turbo XS tuned with Utec for 91 octane
RC 440cc injectors
Walboro 355 fuel pump
Mishimoto radiator
Z1 silicone hose kit
Z1 motor,trans, and differential polyurethane mounts

any tips is helpful, TIA. (:

 

From what Ive read, the connecting rods will only hold up to about 450hp. Some people have pushed it slightly more, and some people have pushed it slightly less before they failed.


Wouldnt you already be pushing about that much hp with your current setup though?

 

No. I just got the car. The guy had it set up like this. He said it’s at about 335HP. He said I can make more boost but what Im asking is what mods i need to do to make more boost as far as internals, FBO, etc. I’m aware I can turn the boost up and run my **** into the ground, but I care about my car and Im looking to build it not just turn boost up till it gives out lol.

 

Do you think an engine rebuild kit is the way to go with FBO to increase boost safely for making power?

 

Yes lol, rods and pistons minimum. Low comp pistons are best for your turbo setup. Call Z1 and give them your ideal whp range and they’ll build you a cart.

 

I was gonna wing it with this kit -

Z1 VQ35DE Basic Engine Rebuild Kit Level 3 from Z1 and FBO from there.
