just like the train lengths a stock IS350 should put on a modded, NA GS300.

maybe it was a V8.

 

Nah, a 'properly' boosted GS300 will put train lengths on a lot of cars. Properly as in 20psi+ and at least 500hp. A guy in a C5 Z06 vette on the highway from last week experienced that first hand

 

did you miss the part where I said NA?

 

I didn't miss it. I was just suggesting
I'll post up a few new videos soon so you guys know what kind of fun I'm having

 

stock GS300 dyno as done yesterday

with light mods i dont see 200RWHP being out of the question but i want 300+ so forced induction it will be, looking at turbo vs s/c applications on the 2JGE at the moment and havent made up my mind what to go for.

having said that a turbo/s/c 2J would have pulled away failry easily if you were driving one of the cars in ur sig.

 

I'm in the same boat...

 

Basic turbo set up, good luck getting 300hp to the wheels, Maybe to the crank.

 

Let me rephrase that. With a low boost turbo or s/c setup, the
2JZ can make 300rwhp.

 

I think it will take a little more than 6-8 psi to make 300whp. There was a guy here that boosted his 2jz with 8psi and only got 260-270whp. You can get without a doubt 300whp out of the 2jz, but it will take more than a low buget kit to do so.

 

....yeah, adding 120+WHP is NO JOKE! You have to have a nice kit, running a good amount of psi and a good tune. I would just get a GS4XX and mod it with bolt-ons if your just happy hitting close to 300whp. For a NICE turbo/supercharger kit w/ install and tune you will be looking at a spending a lot of $$$. IMHO a GS300 is only better than it's V8 brothers if you are planning on doing "the swap" (performance wise); other than that all the 2nd gen GS are the same - obviously.

 

If I could do it over again I would have opted for the 400. Boost is too much of a hassle with maintanence and crazy gas prices nowadays. I would just go 400 and do all the performance mods out there. Reliable, safe, and on demand power at all times. Plus u get that great V8 rumble.

 

Just a swap will put you in the same power range as a 4xx, but a 300 with a swap are much cooler or even a na-t 300. I just want to make sure people understand turbo set ups are more than an ebay kit if you want to get nice gains.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG-3qhrW4Pg he had an exhaust leak, but even with that fixed I doubt he can pull another 100whp without further mods.


wanna trade

I wish I would have reasearch a little more and actually called companies before buying the 400. That way I would have known that all the FI set ups for my car were discontinued

 

it takes 8 psi to make 300 rwhp if you build it properly.

 

did you already finish your project? what are your numbers?

here is another na-t guy.

i don't have numbers, but i pulled on a stock 350z hard. i'm also running 10psi.

so if 8psi is only 260whp then that means 10 psi would only make a slight difference against a 350z., but that was not the case. 8psi on non-vvti ge w/ 1.3mm HG is a bit under 300whp, vvti ge has higher compression so it should be a bit over 300whp.

these engines have poor VE without FI; the lightest boost makes these engines really go.

He's also local to me, so maybe i'll check out his car sometime. Tune makes all the difference.
