Blackie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 to retro fit FI the cost vary alot dpending on if you buy new kit or 2nd hand and if you fit it or pay for fitting etc. supercharger your looking at between 4.5k to 7.5k for the kit + fitting (i may be a little out, someone like ian could give you more accurate figures as he has run a very nice HKS setup) turbo your looking at between 7k and 15k for a decent twin turbo setup, prices might be less and that i think includes some of the fitting etc, but someone like zmanalex would be able to give you more real world figures as he has run a couple of TT setups.) Tbh it would be cheaper to buy one done as mentioned before. I dont really trust after thought chargers/turbos as you can never really be 100% sure on its reliability, I have seen a few disasters because of bad fitting or poor kits IMO if your wanting a fast car buy one, Im not doubting charged z's are good but owners dont tend to keep them for long. You can get much much more power from a 2jz without spending silly money. He's trying to get away from the Supra area as hes had it a long time, But saying that it was only about £500 in secondhand BPU parts for 400bhp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have to agree with biscuit on this one. If you want a VERY fast car either get something other than a Zed or spend a fortune on FI'ing the Zed. The Zed owns it's looks very well, it's a GT car not a racer unless you strip it out. For a medium to high budget I'd do the SC but if your budget is low you can always go for NOS. although, NOS won't give you 400bhp unless you forge the internals, then you're looking at £5k+'ish I'm contemplating a Stroker kit for next year, this will give you a great platform for 400bhp++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 As above. If you want something quick buy something else. Been there done that Having said that, I would go through it all again and I would go FI on another Z if I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 As mentioned before its not actually for me but a friend, im more than happy with the Zed as im a poser , I will point him somewhere else as if he bought one he would join this site and he's a bit of pain in the a$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootg Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Wow, I probably should have checked back. Yes I went to RS tuning in Leeds, with my HR Engine and they used to be Uprev system - the stock engine is 313 BHP on those I was led to believe.
