Did you find out what it made on the dyno.
I assume APS tuned it for ~8 PSI so was curious between the difference of 1.2 PSI was making.

Peter is great and has been a champ with all of his answers but his (APS's) dyno was on his car that was boosted a bit more than yours and probably had different mods.

I believe that after some of the talk of failed con rods in the US that David wanted to start out with a more conservative state of engine tune..................can't blame him for feeling this way as I also have been concerned about the same issue though I suspect there's more to the con rod issue than has been diagnosed to date.

Hey David how's the TT Z car going?
I've not heard boo from you in over a week, maybe you out in the Z more often these days........ sure beats the hell out of sitting behind a computer all day.

Peter, my brother is intending to go TT. What's needed to be done to get his 350z into the twin-turboing process?
What would you also recommend doing just to be that little extra sure the engine doesn't die when twin-turboing and how much would it cost all up roughly?

I'd prefer to leave the engine dead stock (if I were to do anything it would be the con rods) as the partial throttle power/off boost power will always be nicer with the higher static comp ratio.
Thanks

Ok I've had the car now one and half weeks 900km's I'll try and do it justice with the written word, first arriving at anywhere I'm going takes longer, why? because I have to wait for the errection/stiffie to subside before getting out of the car. Jokes aside words don't do this transformation justice, as a daily drive it performs perfect, its easly to drive there's no jerking or sudden surges, it just so smooth in fact I noticed with my normal driving style around town the fuel consumpion has improved, yep my normal around town N/A setup was using 8.9 - 9.4km/ltr at best and just yesterday I noticed it was using 10.4 km/ltr which is a real bonus. Performance wise it just about flies and does use quite and I mean quite a bit more fuel, you can't have performance without using more fuel. I notice just how much at the Sandown track last Sunday I used about 3/4 of a tankfull for aroud 26 laps or 4 sessions of 10mins each, the TT performed faultlessly all day, water temp stayed normal not even the slightless increase, no hot smells of anything getting to hot I just had a great day. I did manage to check my fastest top speed for the day (DavidM) 218km/h up the back straight and maybe faster on the main straight but I was to busy watching for the braking marker for turn one to glance at my speed but I believe it could have been quicker. This was an untimed event but I was circulating around the track at approx the same speed as the the GTR's and much faster than one of the RX7 Turbo's circulating, all in all I was pretty stoked. Am I happy with this setup, what do you think? sh#t YES.

Hi.
Any news on current power figures, drivability issues etc....
I'm sure there are a lot of people keen to know exactly what this package makes at the wheels and how it is travelling now after being run in.
Look forward to your reply.
Thanks.
