Advise and comments

Hello I wanted to hear some advise. I´am upgrading my 300ZXTT auto, by putting in it

nismo 555cc injectors
Z1 upgrated ECU
Front mounted intercooler
Down pipes
Double 2,5" pipes with turbo mufflers
Boost controler.

I´am also taking the rear diff and replacing the stock 3.69 to 4.38

Is the stock fuel pump good for the 555´s.?
How much boost is safe and on what timing.?

Does those mods work?

Hello Gunnar and welcome to Zdriver

Good list of mods so far but I think you're next mod should be one of great importance. Especially since you'll be wanting to 'turn up the boost.'

An upgraded clutch will be necessary if you want to hold onto all that new power you'll be getting. You've gotten off to a good start with the mods you've listed.
I'm assuming you'll still be using the stock turbos, so boosting beyond 16 psi is not recommended. To go beyond that you'll have to upgrade your turbos.
The stock fuel pump will be sufficient until you go with much larger turbos and much larger hp. You should consider upgrading the ignition with HKS's twin ignition amplifier.
Since you're changing the diff's ratio, are you also incorporating a different limited slip?
Your mods will work out great. I think you should also invest in some better brakes as well. Going fast is great, but won't do you much good if you can't stop.

Oh I'm sorry

There's my old age catching up to me.

How about this for an alternative to a clutch then?

This should help you and your automatic transmission out quite nicely.

since you have an automatic i suggest the HKS ALC so the shifting will be quicker and more positive. Also a precision industries torque converter will also help with the holeshot

You'll want a popcharger to make that stage three complete. 2nd on ignition and brakes. And start saving up for upgraded turbos...that's where the real power's at since your motor will be ready for it with upgraded injectors and a fmic. you're a lucky one to be able to make a list of stuff to buy for your Z and gladly add on to it....if only I had extra money........
