Cost of Building a 600+ WHP Turbo 370z 

just make racing videos

@@stevinnissan8355 I like where your head is at!

Make a video on the drivability, how much of a better driver do you have to be? Or do a quarter mile run or just show it off on a montage video running down a mountain....

You got the best build I’ve seen!!!!

@@dominantmonarch48 ohhh I like those. I will remember those.

Hell yeah brother!

Right and the car payments are ridiculous

DemigodQ60 ! Man two best options are 5.0 stang an 370z all the way!

TURBO the 5.0 is pretty trash ngl. I’ve been nothing but disappointed since I bought mine. I envy my brothers Z it’s so much more fun and reliable

Din Miftari hmm... I wondered if you’re right! What issues have you had?

I've noticed. I see no reason to hide it.

Cuz it's embarrassing

DuncanL7979 How?

Because it is expensive as crap. High HP build of 900hp, 70k.

Exactly and I dont know why

Thank you :D

thanks g

Thank you! You the mvp

Lol it was more than I thought. Thank you!

Dang brother! You get it.

Must be nice to shit out money like that

beanX21 I bet you this guys does even have a car

+Itchy Hope. Do you even have a job or any source of income? You can’t just shit out money like that, unless your rich

What is rich it’s all relative to where you are at in life

Thanks you! I think my next video will help a lot too :)

Thank you!! It is a blast.

Well congrats on the z! Thank you! Exhaust and intakes best route to start with i think. If you go intake get the 3 inch from admin.

Check out the Beluga Racing resonated tails. I love the deep tone. I have a cold start and warm start video on my channel.

Procharged c6 nothing to mess around with. Thank you!

I'm working on it! Competing with freshkiicks and some others is difficult. Lol

FreshKiicks pushing 800 whp

Lol oh yeah much much cheaper route. But could get pricy easy. Bags. Wheels. Carbon. That's almost 10k there depending on wheels and carbon pieces you get.

But it's slow though.

Dean BKK who cares? Driving slow cars are still fun regardless

@@DeanBKK how is a 370z slow? Have you never drove a brz/frs?

@@romariosmith422 you can easily Google 370z specs. And yea I've driven an FRS and more fun cars like S2000, Civic Type R, etc... depends on what u wanna do with the car. Auto-X and street driving under 300hp is ok... it wont be fast but will be "fun" to drive. Fun, but slow.

Thank you!!!

Lol I might have to turn it up for my buddies boosted camaro ss.

@@ShayHarambe Say when. I got that revision in the chamber...

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

I didnt even think about that. The few times I have showed it off people are so shocked.

BoostedVQ yeah man just leave the hood open and let the go-pro run. You will get an honest opinion of what people think about your car

That does sound cool. Next car show it happening.

Agreed! I cant tell you how many times I've been questioned is that truly the power you make? You really make over 600?

@@ShayHarambe yeah I am more of a V8 dude myself but I still love fast imports or big power vq's 4g's and big turbo hondas

@@texasstreetproductions9041 lol I think all car people have a secret soft spot for big turbo Hondas lol

@@ShayHarambe yup, I wish my lightning wasn't so expensive to build one day I want to go balls to the wall and try to fit the twin turbo kit that goes on the terminators that works with the supercharger

@@texasstreetproductions9041 thats sounds like crazy money and go crazy fast

Ah yea, admin. That's where I saw you BTW I wanna get a South Bend flywheel, the 12 lb one. If you know where I can find a 12 lb flywheel hit me up man.

@@Lofi.z34 yeah admin posted my dyno stuff. I've thought about spacers but just haven't done it. I bought my set up through zspeed.

@@ShayHarambe Thank you 🔥

Oh yeah! Brother I would pull up to the races and I would call people out and they would go “naw your just z” or something alone those lines. I went “ehhh not just a z, bolt ons making over 600.” I’m sure you can imagine there thoughts lol. Normally the r888rs gave it away.

Good plan though. Pay it off first!

Hell yeah brother!!!!!

There you go! I personally love going with cheaper cars building them to be wayyyy faster than people who spend big money on cars that think they are fast from factory. Just something about people going what?????? Your 20k car beat my 60k car? 🙃

Idk what state you’re in but a 2010 to 2012 camaro ss here in Illinois are well under 20k. That’s crazy

Ohhhh I know a lot about that platform! Just sucks how they dont handle a whole lot of power stock block. Which dont get me wrong they hold quite a bit but going to a built block its so pricy for a ej. Its crazy.

@@ShayHarambe yea dude! im on a conservative 380whp tune. didnt wanna blow up my stock block! really think of getting a 370 or maybe even see how the 400z is gonna be!

I actually sold my 2018 subi for the z lol. I was making 363 wheel. That car just cost so much to make little power.

@@ShayHarambe thats nice man! i have a baby boy so i need the sedan haha. but maybe ill splurge and buy a z! check your dm's on instagram.

Yes! This is one of my current problems. I want to get a carbon fiber vented hood. That would help so much.

Ohh good question. I would say the switchback kit still. Or boosted performance kit. I made 580 something on 93. I'm not a 350 obviously but just for reference. Ultimatly comes down to where do you want the turbo. And piping size. Bp kit just from watching fresh kicks i believe he has 2 inch piping or 2.5 where as switchback is full 3 inch. So eventually your gonna be restricted. I would go switchback.

So I didnt watch his video fully but I know his build video he didn't include everything like I did. He did just the turbo kit. I included full suspension, full supporting mods, and other things here and there. But if I made a video like him then yeah just my turbo kit alone cost 9k something. Not much more than his and mine has more potential.

Ahhhh okay makes sense... not sure what work he had done on his suspension wise since I know he has the nismo. But I know he didn’t throw on a few supporting mods to the overall price. Hopefully one day I’ll have my Z at the 500+ hp mark.

@@akoolz if I where to do it again I would have just went with the supercharger kit and a2a. Making the same power on e85 and cost way less to build.

Who did the install?

Yeah I loved just the stock look. I wanted to do a nismo exterior and do like a OEM plus but you know?…. I would get roasted but wgaf 😂😂 switchback did the full turbo and fuel system install. Being that they where still a relatively new company getting their name out they was doing free installations. Then sense they was all up in there anyways I paid $100 for them to install the full CJM fuel system.

@@ShayHarambe WOW, you got an excellent deal. Wish I would have known they we're doing that, I might have jumped at the chance to do it then. I love the look of the build and it's exactly how I would do my own. I don't like changing the stock look of the vehicle, but definitely want to add the power bits!

Yeah once I get it back the videos will continue. Currently they are fixing that small oil leak i had mentioned a few videos ago.

And congrats on buying a z!

Thanks man! I was glad to find your channel because it seems like there isn't very many 370 specific channels around. Hope you get your car sorted easy enough!

@Andrew Baker yeah man! Seems like most 370 channels out there are click bait or just pointless videos. I wanna to put out quality content on useful stuff even if it means very few videos.

To build your content up you could dive into specifics on small parts like your flex fuel, oil catch etc. Just an idea man, lookin forward to what you put out!

Yeah i would have had to swap the turbo and build the engine for sure.

Hey! Thank you! Uhh if you wanna go twin turbo I would recommend the Fast Intentions Kit. The quality of there products are crazy. But you don't really need a twin turbo. The turbo kit im running spools like a twin turbo kit. Then boosted performance kit is a twim scroll turbo so also spools real fast. There was no labor cost. Switchback racing was doing a deal to install the kit with no labor price. The whole thing from start to finish was probably 6 months or so.

@@ShayHarambe yeah I saw how many single turbo kits are insane for the 370s...I always thought of replicating the GTR with the twins and love the thought of having twins haha. Ill definitely checkout the FI kit. I wonder how much they would be to fully install -__-

@@arvindsaxena8307 so admintuning just tuned a 370z running tbe gtr twin turbo set up. And he said it was cool and all but not worth it. Fast Intentions makes a killer turbo set up and i was stuck on getting there kit for a long time but I didn't like how just to install it you gotta remove the engine. I wanted something a little more easy to work on.

@@ShayHarambe oh I saw that!! Are you referring to nismo frank? Ive worked with admintuning before for my NA 370z but I totaled it :( looking towards building a Nismo 370z now. Btw I really appreciate you reaching out back to me! Definitely will take your advice and do more research man. Btw on WOT does your car slip? I thought 295 wouldnt be enough for the meat on the back with close to 750hp

@@arvindsaxena8307 yeah man! I'm all about trying to help! I have 0 problems with these. I as well as you thought 295 wouldn't be fat enough. But with the r888r tire when they are warm I have no problems. 10/10 recommended. Downside they suck in the rain.

Well mac solenoid was required to go over wastegate pressure. As well was the 4 bar map sensor. But to tune without e85 was 800.

gtr is over rated. imagine getting spanked by a z? lol

i got a 13 speed3 right now. thinking of trading for a 335i or a 350z 😂

I’m boosting my 1990 miata right now with clutch and diff so I feel yah haha but my miata was only $2500 so it’s easy to justify buying more

@@riiotmonkey6748 avoid that 335i like the plague . That thing would be breaking all the time .

Thank you! I really do love it being a sleeper but at the same time man I want some carbon.

Thank you lol good luck with your build. It can get pricy really quick.

@@ShayHarambe I plan on doing most of the labor myself and attempting to get some deals on parts looool

Lol cause I kinda ran out of money on the build at the moment. But yes 600 Is safe on stock block. 700 is where things get iffy. At least that is what the tuner says.

@@ShayHarambe lol watched your video twice forgetting i commented and said both times I'd drop that kind of money all day and im by no means rich. Empty my bank account now and finance the car and I could go there but just barely. Ive been looking at a 2015+ gt stang or a 370. I cant find the 370 around me tho it sucks. Test drove 1 and it was a soft top so I was out.

Thank you!

Sheesh lots of stuff going on here. My exhaust is heat wrapped. Only the down pipe and up pipe to the turbo though. Uhhh right now on stage 3 southbend clutch it is driving just like stock. Now at this moment I am upgrading to a 6 puck clutch so that will be aggressive. Very on off. That will be my next video btw. Thermostat is still in and yeah i drive in the winter. We don't get any snow so not worried about it. Best thing I can say is tires and suspension make a world of a difference. I dont really have any intentions of upgrading my radiator at the moment. Ive had no cooling problems. Only thing I would like to do further with cooling is a vented hood and maybe run 2 small nozzles of water injection post intercooler.

@@ShayHarambe Lmfao yeah, that comment was a bit scattered, wasn't it? 😂 Where in FL are you? Roughly.

@@kevin_delaney shoot i didn't see the last part of the comment there. The car feels completely different. It feels the same in a sense like still feels like the z but with the turbo and suspension and tires it just feel wayyyyy more evolved. Central Florida area.

Congrats! I loved the 370z platform. It handles so well and makes good power.

You’re not bolting on 600whp

In my opinion any car could be a beginner car. Just do a bunch of research and learn how everything works together. The only bad part I see with the 350 or 370 is its exspensive to mod. More than other cars I've owned maybe except a subaru.

I didn't think about it that way lol, thanks man I appreciate the perspective

Should have went that route to begin with. Sounds wayyyyy better.

@@ShayHarambe I know. I was part of the engineering process with Hendo😉. I'm the tuner he was bouncing ideas off with. So glad you went that route. ❤️ It sounds so sick

@@erik_cruz heyyyy!!!! Thats super dope

hahaha

Thank you! I agree lol

Twins would be nasty. That top mount kit I think royalty made?? Sheesh.

Eventually imma get wider wheels. Really want some te37s. HAAAAA! A dig. What is this dig race you speak of?

Sheesh sounds dumb fast!

I heard they are ehh. Need the flex plate but then after that they handle more power but you gotta build it still. But I could be wrong idk. But flex plate is needed.

Thats awesome! Definitely worth saving up to pay it straight up if you can than having a loan paying interest on.

Better cut some more lawns

Yeah for sure. A free install on a kit like this with all the labor on welding and install. Crazyyyyy good deal. The entire fuel system with pump and top hat install was $100. With a lot of stuff around the enginr coming out it is super easy to install all those lines and stuff.

Supercharge/ turbo the world my dude

15% all around and 50% on the windshield.

Thank you! I feel like im to boring for vlogs.

BoostedVQ car is what keeps people watching bro most solid people I watch are pretty boring either way car cruising pulling on people ect make it fun to watch especially sounds as well as mods it all has its purposed lol your car sick af to so shouldn’t be hard at all most people wish they had turbo kit still making content 😂😂

i have a video going over everything on the build

Dang thats crazy! What all is done to the ms3 for that price?

BoostedVQ I got the car really cheap from a neighbor because it was rebuilt. So far it’s got the basics like a 3 inch down pipe with upgraded fuel pump and internals. It’s got a performance short ram air intake, upgraded turbo inlet pipes with a cts4 turbo from cork sport with a mishimoto fmic and a decent computer tune. Other than that small things like upgraded motor mounts and a deep performance exhaust (that sounds like heaven) I believe that’s about it. I’m saving to get a better tune on the dyno because I know I could be making more power with the setup. It’s on 93 pump so next step is E85 or Methanol but I just wanted a daily that’s a little bit of a sleeper. It’s on about 18psi boost on a 3.5 bar Map sensor

True true.

Yeah that part idk if people understood. The price of the z plus the 22000 I could have bought a used older gtr. You can find a gtr for like 45k. But yeah find a cheap 370z plus all those mods and the weight of the z its the way to go. A lot of dudes are actually running high 600s and low 700s. I just don't wanna blow it till i got money to build it. To mod a gtr though im sure is big money. On top of the 45 to 50k car. But 600 to 700 on stock block on a z. Then Adam lz upgraded the bottom end of his engine and i think he's making 900 on his 370z. To build the bottom end is 2k for rods and pistons. Idk that's how I look at it. Price of car plus mods whats the best car/ route or power to weight ratio. Obviously other things come into play too. To me a 370z is the perfect route to build a racecar :)

Good points! I'm curious how much that swap does cost. I know noir.tm the RU-vidr is doing that swap. And the 435i is definitely a awesome car. I love how those look. I know they weight quite a bit though. With the z its not like it was a dream car of mine. That would be a gt3rs in white :) but ultimately it came down to finding a cheaper car used where the block can handle decent power and the car being light weight where its rear wheel drive. And a 370z basically fit the profile easiest.

I think most people putting a turbo in a car aren't worried about the cash cuz they ain't cheap

@@kenwu7lol that’s a lie, 22k is a entire car. That’s just too much in my opinion

No sir. I got front window tinted too. Front window alone anywhere you go is 100 cause it has to be ceramic. Plus all my windows are ceramic 15%. Sounds like wherever you went you got crappy tint.

I dont really daily the z. But I could do like a week or so of daily driving it and show how it is to daily.

❤️

Oh yeah i believe so if you don't mind bad gas mileage.

Haha thanks!

@@ShayHarambe I come from the Honda world.. Integras.. Civics.. Accord...TSX... But my first car was a 1983 280ZX Automatic... In 1997! Haha. I'm old. Had a 2010 G37 Convertible Manual but it was like 4100 pounds- fuck that! Sold my G35 Manual immaculate in 2018 with 85k miles for under $6k because I couldn't do 2 car payments. Have a 2014 Q50S tuned by Moncef at 327 WHP and 277 WTQ... Buying a 370Z next--- planning to turbo. Wondering if I should go with my gut and get Max 70k miles or get something cheaper around 100k miles. I know they're "bulletproof" engines. VQ37VHR for Lyfe! LMAO. Can't bring myself to get a 3.0tt which sounds like shit No--- GTR would NOT be this car. It's big and heavy 3800+ pounds... DCT is nice, but manual is a man's car. 370Z is one of the sexiest cars of our lifetime. I am a bit torn between 2015 M3/M4... But... again--- whiny baby noises from 3.0 3.7 boosted is where it's at. Tried and true. I'm following and will watch more vids when I can. I like how you're not "without further ado, let's dive into the video" AND SHIT.. Most RU-vidrs are Bullshit. Lol.

Shoot probably! I cant imagine what labor would cost for all this.

Lol for sure! Love it and hate it at the same time lol

Thank you!!!

I am running speed density

@@ShayHarambe thanks for your fast response, so you probably do have an aftermarket ECU, right?

@@lukassvoboda3759 stock ecu. Tuning through ecutek

Heck yeah! I ust to have a mustang. I love mustangs. 14 5.0 Oxford white 6 speed :)

@@ShayHarambe yeah, you have to make a lot of $ to swap cars that often. for me, I only have 30k miles on mine so it's going to last way longer than anyone would have ever expected.

Oh yeah! I have a few buddies that just tune to wastegate (8psi) and have been running that for years.

Dang that would be super amazing! How many cars I've had windows tinted on in my life I would have saved so much money.

You should see the new build I’m working on 👀

600hp is great but what I really want to know is the amount of torque at that horsepower level on that VQ

Couldn't tell you. As far as I can tell the same when normal driving. You don't get on it at low rpm with a bigger turbo. You can bog the engine and turbo. Basically didnt give the turbo enough time to spool.

@@ShayHarambe Thanks for the quick response. I was just concerned with the response/feedback with the acceleration/torque for normal street driving due to a turbo add in. Since turbos are for higher rpm anyway, does the response time and torque down low get affected I guess.

Normal street driving is basically normal. If you gotta speed up downshift

I had stock block stock trans

@@ShayHarambe the only thing I keep hearing is that to get a lot of power it would be wise to upgrade the rods. I hear the pistons and crank are already pretty strong from the factory. Like I said I want around 5-600 whp

Stock block

It's my dream car, thanks for the response

You could beat a modified gtr.

There is no LBWK kit for the 370Z .

If only 👀

You ever build one?

Wooooowwwwwwww! Your the dude to spoil movies and TV shows I bet.

@@ShayHarambe not really, I hate spoilers! However I do like to get to the point sometimes. Great video though! It was interesting to see hear and see most parts.

@@jamesgarza5270 yeah I mean that was the whole point of the video. Parts and prices. Unless you want a 5 second video this is my 636 whp z and I spent 22k on it.
