great link but when reading down the list all blew around the 450-500 mark.

"that kit is good for 450-500 hp , we installed a GTRS kit, we will be tuning it here in a day or two.


all on a stock motor!! "

That to me sounds like its on a 350z and the turbo kit will do 450-500hp but whats the point if the motor is only good to 400hp on the avg. Still need to build up the motor. Id like to see a post made of people running 450+ HP on an all stock motor with 12,000 miles. If so then thats a good tune of the Z motor. Where did he satte in that "smaller turbos are good for that much power? he just said its good for 450-500hp. There are a lot of turbo trims and mixes that can do that / hybrids.

There have been many such as Phunk and Sharif that had stock blocks with big power.

26. Greddy TT (11.6# wastegate springs) 511whp 512wtq 91 oct Installed & Tuned by TC Performance www.tcperf.com UTEC. Boosted at 80k miles, 96k miles on the ODO when I sold it. Car has been dragged and street raced quite a bit and always driven very hard. The JWT clutch has finally given out with almost 100k on the motor with the new owner.

Make sense yet?

Just stop trying to make yourself sound smart. You are no impressing anyone here.

I am shocked there is 1 car on the list to take the abuse and last. Still not the norm. If 80% of the 350z on here were boosted like that 511whp and last 12K miles I would be impressed. Either a ot of people on here are not tuning the car right like those guys did or something aint right. I wonder if there is a way to get his UTEC information and pass that around. Anyone thought of that. BTW how you know that was a stock motor, it doesnt state that.

Sounds great, you take his tune and copy it into your utec, and then tell how long it lasts.

If I build my motor with the exact same parts, nothing is different besides milage why wouldnt it last the same amount of time?

I think this is the kit my friend tyler (he has the fastest Z in alla TN), is going to get. He said he was going for big power, and HKS is the best in the world, so this kit is the fastest. My friend Tyler going to have the fastest Z in all the forum ...You wait and see.

I saw this kit in person and it looked like a couple really nice manifolds and really nice turbos. That's about it. The rest of it is left up the the creativity of the shop or installer. All of the piping and intercooling is left up to the end user.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs.

the quality is untouchable. what needs to happen with it is someone needs to buy them up from HKS. fab up the intake piping , get the correct oil feed lines, and make the intercooler piping and intercooler setup and sell it as a full kit. then it will be perfect.

at first we were thinking that might have been some sort of fitment issue that we would have to work around to get it all to work, but that was not the case at all. everything fits perfectly. both turbos push air out towards the bottom and the piping has plenty of room. the intake piping is almost a straight shot on both sides so its not a big deal at all.

i have a feeling that you will be seeing these kits out a lot more here in the very near future...

JT, gonna be working on the HKS setup while I'm in town? I'm interested to see this "kit".

Damn, why didn't I think of that? I forgot all cars are the same and all builders use the same clearances.

Our motors are not hand built like a Ferrari. Like I stated if I built my car the same way, or exactly the same way why wouldn't it work?

Built motors are built by people with hands.

I think some of that might be luck. The motor is only as strong as its weakest link and he might have gotten lucky that every rod in that motor exceeded spec. I would never use some one elses program, every car is different and will not produce the same results

phat04350z

That is my point. That because 1-2 people have hit 500 hp on a stock block is not the norm. The 350z is only good up to no more then 400hp on the stock motor, you take it past that point your on your own. That list seems to average out at around 380-400. SOO this turbo kit he stated is 450-500 is too much for the 350z motor.
