400 hp isnt that impressive...... if were talking crank i made that with just boltons

but no, the 350z will not take a ton of boost on stock internals

 

u made 400 hp with boltons? in what car? im guessing your not talking about a 350z

 

Yeah he drives his silverado (Ford Mechanic driving a Chevy... lol...) unless its sunny and nice out and he will drive the honda occasionally its not riced out, its completely stock in appearance inside and out.

As for not having an older version of an evo engine.. i know that... but they are both 16 valve DOHC 2.0ls no? Thats all i ment..

 

You can put a turbo on a LS1 and get well into the 500s and not change any thing in side of the engine. You can Get over 300 wheel on a TC with just a little tunning and fuel mods to support itl thats up from 150 wheel horses. The 350Z is a fun car to drive but parts are expensive and going forced induction on them is both extreamly expensive and time consuming. The RB26 and even the RB25 are both good for well into the 500s on stock insides and the 2JZ will make it almost to 500 on its stock roting assembly and the list goes on and on. There are a ton more engines i could list but in short just about any engine out there can run boost and make a noticible gain with out internal work. A good example in the GM world is the little known 2.2 Iron Block Cavalier. The little iron block loves boost. I have personaly seen a old iron block 2.2 with a stock bottom end that makes maybe 110 wheel horses on a good day but down 246HP and 254torque with nothing more then a good turbo set up, tuning and fuel mods. This is an extream case on a strong little engine that loves boost. In short just about any engine will gain considerble gains from forced induction depending on the set with out upgrading any internals.

 

LOL yes. They are both rated as 2.0 engines. But that's where the similarties stop. There is a reason people dont just bolt up the turbos off the turbo DSM's on to the NA cars. Or even try to swap them out. It is cheaper buy a DSM strait out then it is to try and swap the two power plants. Every thing from the tranmission not only be totaly diffrent and facing the wrong dirrection to the wirring harness and motor mounts and ecu. Trying to use parts from a 420A on a 4G63 is useless since they have about as much in common as a B16 civic and a LS6 Z06.

 

Oh well yeah. I wanted to get a turbo off a f/i version of my car at the junk yard that was in reasonable running condition but it had been picked apart like no other pretty much a running driving shell.. no seats.. no real interior... I went and looked up the schematics of it all and it was really expensive and not worth the time or money.

 

so how much boost would a 3800 be able to take and what kinda hp would it put down? im not saying that im planning on doing that or anything, but just wondering

 

Take it over to the FI section and we can talk about it .

 

^ good call. I can never understand why the topic goes astray in this thread. I just dont get it. Anyhoo, is there any reason not to believe this story?

 

But in all respect please head over the the FI section and post up. Try i know we have had a few topics in the past that involved boosted 3.8s so you may be able to find some info by doing a search as well.. After that fill free to ask any questions you need.
