if money isn't a problem - pull the motor out for a start - throw in a built LSX with twin turbos - I'd suggest some GT35R's. You'll need to upgrade the fuel system anyway so may as well go all out and set it up for E85 flex. That will net you close to 750rwkw or roughly 1000rwhp in the old money. That probably isn't going to be very useful, let alone with the standard 6 speed so I'd suggest a Quaife QBE sequential box to make it nice and snappy for upshifts during power skids. I reckon budget around $150k for this setup

Or you could just realise like the rest of us that an intake, some high flow cats and an exhaust is about where it ends. Cost you about 2k and will get you maybe 15rwkw.

HAhahahahahahha

So i brought a 2003 v35 350gt sports and i was looking to add more power to it, just wondering if anyone knew what is needed to upgrade the engine a bit, money isn't a problem.

With the way you structured that sentence and choice of words, I could almost guarantee you don't intend on entering the 5 figure engine club...

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
