i was wondering if anybody knows of cheap or free horsepower freeing mods im kinda limited on cash but just want some more power i used to have an eclipse that u cut the air filter box top off and it freed up extra horsepower and then the maf sensor you could remove two of the honeycombs and it freed up more i was just wondering if there was anything like that for the z im pretty new to working on z so the simplier the better cause these cars are a pain in the butt to work on .

well you can gut the car that will give you alot better acceleration.

Is this a TT or NA?

bardabe

oh if it's TT you can unplug the vacum lines on your wate gate actuator for maximum boost!!!! (then blow your motor)

cheap and free...no such thing.
If you want a cheap fast car. I'm sorry to tell you but you bought the wrong car.
The Z is a cash hog and is very very expensive to mod, not to mention maintain. Just look at 91zxtt's mod thread, perfect example.
Sounds to me like you first need to get the car running well before you can even consider mods. I think you should start there.

You could remove the stock air box and install a cone filter for greater air flow. Not free, but relatively inexpensive.
The only thing you could do for free would be to reduce weight.

I do agree with Rizz...make sure the car is running perfectly well before anything else. Even an N/A running like it should is not slow and a blast to drive.

jfetherl

thanks for the help the car is a tt. i mean the cars not slow by all means its just the fact i rode in a stock twin turbo rx7 and it just through me through the back of the seat if i had to guess id say my twin turbos might only be useing one turbo if thats possible it just doesnt have the pull of other twin turbos ive rode in or drove. i never drove a 300z before i bought this car so it may just be the way this car is. as far as i know the car is running well it doesnt leak or smoke or anything like that. just burns off tires but whos doesnt?i just installed a k@n cone air filter in it is that good enough?

Riz Z Speed

lol
Doesn't matter to us what you put in it.
question is, is it good enough for you?

bardabe

I'll 2nd that

jfetherl

yeah it seems to be good but i keep reading about these pop2 or something like that im really not sure what they are but everybody says there the best whats the difference keep in mind i just bought this car dont know to much about this stuff yet the former owner said he would use this site if he had any questions or problems so i figured id try it and again thanks for the responses

you could go doolz. i forget the ashspec address and im too lazy to look it up. anyone else.

The RX7 is lighter, but the TT should throw you back in in your seat very well if it running properly and boosting as it should be. If it doesn't feel like other TTs you've been in (assuming they were not modded). I would take a look at the online FSM and start getting to know the engine and ensure everything is in good order. A number of things could affect power if in fact is off.
First thing check your timing, if the timing belt hasn't been replaced at 60K / 120K, go that.

jfetherl

my timing belt was replaced at 110k its got 115k on it now it should still be fine i just got the clutch & flywheel replaced with an act stage 2 and a billit aluminim flywheel about 2k mi ago but since ive got that the car just seems like it doesnt want to do anything till after 4gs it has a problem with its idle when its cold is there a sensor maybe on the flywheel that needs to get a new code sent to it because of the wieght diff? could it be throughing off the timing or something?

entropy31

please people, i cannot stress this enough......PUNCTUATE!!!!!

emo236

There's got to be something wrong with your Z. The 7 is fast, but the Z32 is just as fast. Based on 0-60 times I found from a quick google search, they both do it in 5.0 seconds. Exactly the same.

I have alot of extra 300zx parts if you need them like springs ,guages,etc.
