Nissan 350Z Power Pages
Who says the 350Z doesn't respond to bolt-on parts?The Nissan 350Z, with its unique styling and potent VQ35DE powerplant, has attracted consumers from each end of the spectrum from old to young alike. Drivers such as Daijiro Inada of Option, flogging his Streamline Z down the Nevada Highway, to Vinny Ten and his 1000 hp VQ drag monster, tearing up the quarter-mile in a mere 8 seconds. The potential is limitless for the 3.5-liter motor and only now we have begun to see a glimpse of promise for this engine. It's been noted and proven that the VQ engine has a distaste for bolt-on products, often loosing horsepower in the process. Testing numerous 350Z's on the dyno, we also have witnessed a disappointing gain of anywhere from 1 to 2 hp with the typical bolt-on components. Since the debut of the 350Z, manufacturers have acknowledged that in order to create horsepower, it was no longer a simple "mock up and bolt-on" process. Many of the newer products developed for today's cars required long R&D sessions and multiple testing to ensure they were indeed creating horsepower. If horsepower is what you crave, we might have found a pretty good combination for you speed junkies out there.
