either way, for more horsepower...
1./Intake
2./Exhaust
3./ECU
4./Test Pipes(+downpipes if TT, +headers if N/A)
5./Pulley Kit
6./Clutch/Flywheel

the rest depends on if it is a TT or not

a few other things you can upgrade to get maximum performance are
one-piece driveshaft
suspension upgrades
brake upgrades
....the list goes on

heres a link where you can find just about everything you will need to know about your z....

the order i would do things in is:

1 - exhaust/intake (hard pipe intake kit) ($700)
2 - clutch/rps lightweight flywheel ($750)
3 - downpipes/testpipes ($750)
4 - ECU ($300)
5 - underdrive pully kit ($210)
6 - boost controller and up to 13 psi or so ($500...get the greddy E-01....so pimp!)
7 - 555cc nismo injectors ($925)
8 - stage 1 turbo upgrade (see z1motorsports.com) ($1850)
9 - Z1 or Stillen Side Mount Intercoolers ($850 to $950)
10 - motor build (pistons, rods, cams, etc...) ($2700)
11 - more boost...now you're ready for maybe 18psi ($free, you already have boost controller)


no prices include labor...and all are estimated using z1motorsports.com as reference...ask and you shall receive...this is how to give your beauty more power and make it damn faster!

there ya go, that should keep ya busy for a while, and give ya an easy 500 to the wheels...not too bad for a daily driver car if ya ask me. Now go make me proud and do all this at once like a real baller would! lol

instead of referring your car as non-tt(im assuming for not twin turbo) just say your car is NA for (Naturally Aspirated). Its easier for us to understand what you mean this way. I personally would stick to intake/exhaust/ecu on an NA.

^^^ headers, mid-pipes and cat-back for the exhaust. I'd look into underdrive pullies, a 1 piece drive shaft and a lightened flywheel. Once you get beyond this, you'll have to start forking out the big bucks.

Except for the few bolt-ons listed here, you'll either be flamed or get the infamous cough cough tt swap. There just aren't many people building high h.p. n/a vg30's. imho, if you want low $ n/a h.p. drop in a chevy motor.

In all honesty, most mods on an N/A are a waste of $. A TT swap is the most bang for the buck, but I'm tired of hearing people ask about swaps, but never do it.

Have you ever tried to put a set of headers on?

The Price + The Labor for only 5hp tops?

Waste of money
