Sorry if people have previously discussed this, but saw a TT setup for the Z advertised by a WA outfit called Xspeed ...link

FYI I sent them an email asking for estimated cost and got a quick reply, but was in same $$ ballpark as Nizpro in Melbourne ...

"For the twin turbo set up (stock engine), you are looking around the $35-40K mark. This includes the twin turbo set up, twin exhaust system, front mounted intercooler, fuel system, ignition system, HKS FCon VPro ECU (installed and dyno tuned), clutch, and all necessary parts (ie lines, hoses etc). For the engine internals, you are looking at about the $10K mark."

Nice. So, group buy anyone?

frosty

So is that $45 - $50 all-up?

Even if its not - it would be far better to await godzilla at those prices!

Anything would be better than paying $45K for a turbo setup.

ypwpat

yeah i'll wait for the GT-R35 to come
THe car in the link looks kinda dodgy. Not my style. Compare to Full VS v3 (full as in with the whole veilside package) is much better.

dixonbn

Agree - fingers crossed for the R35 ...

ottonove

50k for a TT setup!!

ypwpat:
saw your sig, you're removing the nismo flywheel as well?!

ypwpat

yes i'm. ottonove. i Guess my hearing is super sensitive for it

ottonove

yes i know, its quite annoying is it.....
but I think i've already trained to ignor those sound

ypwpat

well i have one person in my place that hasn't had his ear trained yet. IT'S DAD I'll get in trouble if he founds out about it making noise

At least they took plenty of pics of the install. Hopefully APS won't take a cue from Nizpro and these guys and set a realistic price on their kit. PE is quickly becoming the only real choice.

The dials in the middle look pretty crap considering your paying $50K.

ypwpat

Yeah seems all the setup is kinda crappy. I think PE is the way to go. Jap Quality and Cheap

Well the gauges didnt seem too bad, but how they were installed was crap for $50K.

Seriously though I really think you need to think about this logically and decide how much power you want up front, figure out your options on how to get there then make your decision on which avenue is best for you.

Im coming from a car which had the same amount of hp @ 6200rpm as ours has at idle. As a result this power level isnt bad for me and I think i'd be happy sitting on 206rwkw.

P.S. Did anyone see the 4.3L stoker kit post?

apsilon

I did. Imagine that and a PE TT kit. That'd be fun and in fact both could be done for around AUD$25k + install. I'd rather that than either the Nizpro or Xspeed offerings.

That would be insane.

So how much power do you feel you need to be happy?

apsilon

How much can I get? To be honest it's limited by funds but I want, no need, at least 200rwkw.

As the saying goes "Too much power is just enough"

mchapman

Need was probabally the wrong choice of word, I meant need as in want. No one could really explain that they 'need' X amount of power.

I hold the same way of thinking and agree in reality which is governed by funds, warranty, insurance etc im influenced to choose a more realistic number which I would be happy with. For me its 206rwkw.

How much does the stroker give you? I couldnt see a straight answer.

apsilon

I don't think there are any answers on the stroker power output yet, just estimates.

I wonder if the check engine warning light would come on with it? LOL
