OK guys....how much dough have you put into your Z's engine to make more power? I'm talking about just performance upgrades, not maintenance.

 

i got an NA, not much to do performance wise.
and i'm not spending much more for it lol.

 

Just NGK plugs, it has a more powerful coil than stock. I think it is a Acell or something like that. I plan on getting NGK plug wires sometime soon. Putting my headers on in a week or so. And also getting a K & N filter for my stock airbox. And basically taking apart my driver side of the engine, cleaning it up. And repainting the fuel rail, and such a Aluminum high temp paint. Also probably might get a new dizzy with new cap and rotor. That is all for now, will do more as I go. Just at the moment, I am trying to get my '82 to run better, it is all process of elimination.

 

intake, catback, test pipes, clutch is all i bought. and i am done till the TT comes

 

I've spent nothing, I'm more concerned about getting it running first, lol.

 

R and R on the SUs
N36 intake
'79 dizzy, rebuilt it myself
MSA header (pos)
2 1/4 pipe
SuperTrap muffler
8 blade fan and double row radiator
I don't think the head has ever been off so I'm leaving it alone.

 

I think I've spent about $1500-1700 in performance parts, some of the stuff I put on came from previous cars I owned or got from friends to hack up and use. I've added a new turbo, i/c, coil, ignition box, bigger throttle body, z31 ecu/maf, intake, boost controller, and catback exhaust.

SIKE!!!!!!

My '79 is mostly stock

 

Triple Weber carbs, Mallor dual dizzy, tuned header, 2 1/2 inch to flowmaster 40 series, 280ZX alternator and starter.

Putting another head and cam in soon. Head will have some work done to it by me.

I did not put more than 200 into the engine so far. haha

Bought it from the junk yard like that.

 

bought my AE for 3k, put 4k into it just making her run, took off the mods that were added----returned her to rock stock---she runs so well....selling her for 5k..........
