If you want to make more a lot more power without swapping your engine, forced induction is the way to go. Bolting on a turbo (or two) or a supercharger gives you a big power increase without having to refill a bottle. .
But which is the BEST choice? That's a tough question. To find out, we borrowed two Nissan 370Z Nismos: one fitted with a Rotrex supercharger, the other a pair of turbos. Can we settle this once and for all?

Smoking Tires, do this more often I think people enjoy being able to watch as well as express their thoughts with each other. The interaction, if done in a mature, patient, and understanding way is a great way to create discussion between fans as well as encourage people to become more passionate about their builds. Thumbs up. So I knew even then that my 95 VR6 Jetta wasn't the fastest but it did have the most distinct and coolest exhaust note of the cars in Omaha.(well the uneven header WRX's might of had me beat, I mean I thought they sounded awesome)I stayed N/A and the 15 degree staggered 6's head DOHC/SOHC set up sort of destroyed any attempts to make good N/A power. Yes I had B16A2, B18c1 and B18c5, H22, cylinder head flow envy. Yet what most people don't know about The 12v VR6 engine was that it was originally designed to be a turbo diesel, so it was originally made to take 400 or 500lbs. of torque. VAG at the last minute switched the VR6 to an N/A platform but still retained the way it was built. So if you can get your hands on an older 12v VR6 and put some money into rebuilding it(the miles have to be pretty high by now), you can get a reliable S/C or Turbo build for not a lot of money. My final build for my 95 VR6 Jetta 3.94 Euro Final Drive P&P' Big Valve Head DRC268 Cams Schrick VGI(Hind sight it would have made more power if I had stock intake manifold ported and polished with the neck re worked so the turn corner that blocked air flow would have flowed better. People on VW Vortex did this with good results in power) GIAC Chip Turn2 CAI 3 Race Pulleys(I forget the brand they were pretty popular back in the day) Autotech Fly Wheel Neuspeed exhaust(wish I would have went with Technotics) Intake manifold spacer(surprisingly kept the temps on the Schrick VGI down quite a bit) 2.9 Euro TB(helped a ton with throttle response) Bosal Header(which we all learned later on made no power. I should have had ported/gasket matched the exhaust manifold and lower intake mani for a good 5-7whp) Bilstein shocks and Neuspeed lowering springs(actually helped a ton for handling) Also had Black Forest extreme race motor mounts and transmission mounts which helped too. No. I wasn't the fastest but 200whp+ in a 2900lb. in the middle 90's wasn't that slow compared to other N/A cars around at the time. I won some I lost some, but what I got most from people at car meets was respect b/c people with VR4 Galants, 3000GT's, MKIV Supras, 300Z TT's, even V8's would come up to me and tell me they wished their car's exhaust could sound like that.

There are 600+whp turbo VR6 running around the streets. No reason some jabroni couldn’t do same with a Jetta if they don’t mind the larger chassis and oddly proportioned aesthetics. Would make for a fun sleeper for sure. Sold a lot of them, but many driven until mileage killed them. Look around Southern California with areas that have low commute, maybe find some that need some love for your next project car 😊

1. I'm glad neither car had a fuck boi exhaust. 370s can sound good. 2. I'm also happy you were able to do a higher tuned Fast Intentions car. Yall did that rocket engineer's car and he was not representing. I think he was tuned to 400hp? Like Alfredo, I'm also tuned to 6xxhp E85, 5xxhp 93 flex fuel setup. 3. IIRC GTM isn't in business anymore? The other guy might be better doing a newer supercharger kit. The answer is on the forums. A couple of companies have fixed the 370Z supercharger issues. Oh and the only thing you need to know about the stock LSD is that it is trash. Get a real one. Wavetrac, OS Giken, etc.

I had a similar supercharger kit as him, I had the stage 2. You can for sure make 5xx+ on 93 like I did. Needs to dump that turbosmart BOV since it just provides surge. Proper cooling and supporting mods gets you to 5xx relatively easy. Idk if jumping to stillen with an upgraded A2A kit is worth the money

Why would weight be a rumor? You can literally take it to a scale and weigh it. Also I have a VLSD and it doesn't lock or unlock, the fluid just pulls the other side along if it's spinning at a lower speed. For me it's actually worked quite well, I've been able to drift and autocross with it. It sounds like the supercharged Z needs to change the diff fluid, possibly to a thicker viscosity.

I think a superchargers are good for small to mid size tracks/city/canyon driving....coming from a ss/SC cobalt ss owner. Turbos are really great for drags/rolls/highway pulls and "put back you in your seat" power. My cobalts supercharger has boost come on in relation to load and throttle amount. If you slowly roll on the throttle you can go to redline without going into boost but you press the gas halfway and you're into full boost....which is good for the start of a roll race, but they flatline at the top. Both sound awesome in their own way.

@MrWhitePerson Жыл бұрын

you can also build turbos for canyon/tight roads, i get that in the US it's all about the straight line speed, but you can just have smaller turbos with variable geometry, twin scroll, and tuned for linear power instead of big single turbo tuned for everything at the top and all about the HP numbers, you can do more with a turbo build than just the typical runway racer unusable sketchy power

So what you’re saying is the car that’s been owned and sorted for 10 years was nicer to drive than the Craigslist special from 6 months ago?

I'm like 11 mins into this video, and I have never seen a 370, 350, G whatever nissan on the FM chassis do what this mans car did at random. He REALLY needs to get that looked at. The diffs in those car fade out they do not randomly lock, they do not lock harshly, thats why VLSD are used so much by OE manufactures because they are predictable. He has issues he might have got screwed on that sight-unseen buy or something is in his pumpkin that needs to be adjusted so it works.

I was thinking the same thing. That was an odd wobble for sure almost along the lines of mid corner lift off oversteer. Unpredictability in a sports car is the kiss of death. I had a similar issue in my car where I thought I had a bad diff or bad rack. It made the car very unpredictable the more pronounced the weight transfer was. The culprit? A small bend in one of my front toe arms that could only be seen when laid side to side with an undamaged one. Anecdoatal for sure and perhaps not at all what is going on with that Z, but that wiggle was sketchy and needs to get sorted out whatever it is.

Great video and a big thanks to Jake and Alfredo for sharing their super-nice, souped up Z's! Having owned an unmodified 370Z, the best thing remembered was the engine. Previously in a Civic Si, with all its HP with the engine screaming in the V-tec zone between 5,800 and 8,00 redline rpm, it never felt like it had the power it needed. The NA engine in the Z was so powerful and smooth by comparison, at least for a similarly weighted car. But the handling had issues. Even though it was rear-wheel drive and better than the Honda, it seemed like the computer was confused. Perhaps it was related to what Jack was talking about with the rear differential, but it also seemed be a traction-control computer takeover... at least from the seat of my pains. Because of my fond remembrance of the NA engine, my preference in an update would align with Jake, who seemingly just added a percentage to the NA's normal torque and HP curves. But wow, Alfredo's car is a rocket ship! Not sure another Z would be in my future... Maybe when the new one is offered in a convertible :o) Cheers from Charlotte, NC!

Polyurethane material for the transmission mount and the motor mount is the way to go. I noticed a difference in stiffness and less power loss while maintaining daily drivability.

@nathanchildress5596 Жыл бұрын

I dunno, I think that's a great idea for the trans and diff since you get that shudder even on stock power, but for the engine I'd just put new rubber and maybe a torque damper. Keep your street car feeling like a street car.

Back in 2001/2002 a company called Rob Green Motorsport did a supercharger and, if wanted, NOS conversion on the 350Z, Nissan South Africa got wind of it and tested one, they liked it so much that they did a deal with Rob Green Motorsport to convert new cars so they could sell them from the Nissan dealerships with a full warranty...

The 350/370's look cool and if not japanese I may have had one. Would like to try owning a turbo car one day though. Anyway it is good y'all think this heat soak is a sure thing that ruins the car, makes no power etc. because it keeps used car pricing low for us that know better!
