Wasn't the TS list price 380,000yen on this? That's ~AUD$4,800

Did you check with Harry @ Hi Octane to see if he can get it?

 

I emailed him, but have not had a response as of yet.

I think ive found a satisfactory solution to insuring a Zed with a turbo on it. The solution is basically dont do it to the 350z and buy a small project car which I can stuff around with and not have to worry about comprehensive insurance. Im looking into getting a RX3 and putting a 13B Turbo in it. You can easily make them 10 second cars. Power to Weight Ratio

 

Murry - I raced a newbie in an RX3 with a swapped 13B RX7 turbo motor on the weekend at WSID. He ran a 13.5 before it spilled fluid and ended it day, but the car had a history of running in the 10s bracket previously with a lot more boost.
I had a look in his engine bay and there was acres of space. Add a desent suspension set up to it and you've got a 1/4 mile and track animal.

 

here is some more info on the TS setup.. the cost i think you were qouted was just for the ex. manifold and the turbo and thats it.. all the other parts IC,EMU, etc.. are not included and they are not cheap. so the cost is about the same as the PE or Greddy system.. actualy the PE system in Japan is an awesome deal here.. about $8,000-$9,000 (including install) for their basic setup

I think you'd be better off calling, I'm not convinced he checks his email despite claims to the contrary.

Very nice, how did you go down the straight?

FYI You can buy a Series 4 13B turbo engine for $1350 or series 5 for $1550.

 

I think the quote would have been for whatever was listed in the photo. The exhaust manifold is the hard part to get, people in the US have tried to make them and failed, so with this kit which includes exhaust manifold you are free to choose all the other parts you want, you could get second hand stuff if your on a budget or whatever the choice is yours.

 

I hear Phoenix's Power (www.phoenixs.co.jp) has a Z33 that generates 530 PS using an HKS GT3037 turbocharger. I believe a moderately-sized single turbo such as a GT3037 may outperform a twin-turbo setup. It depends though. Does anyone know how much boost a VQ35 can handle?

 

Regarding the single turbo vs twin, it would depend on too many factors. Like which single, which twin setup, their state of tunes etc. The twins exhaust manifold will flow better and its boost would come on sooner so the twins would in theory be preferable, but that doesnt take price into the equation.

Regarding the boost I think the most a stock Zed can handle would be around what the non production APS 350z is running, 9.2psi.

 

I remember reading in an article of Speed that one of the HKS branches had a single-turbo 350Z. I think it was running around 14psi, as well, so I'm not sure what internal work it had done.

I don't think it was a kit as much as a custom job, but if I can find the magazine again I'll post the URL of that specific HKS workshop.

 

mate, my friend installed a ts single turbo in his car and the price was around 8000.

Hey welcome to the forum,

Did your friend install it on a 350z? If so got any other details? Like power? Parts involved? Is that price include installation and tuning? Where did he get it done? How long it took etc etc

 

I noticed the single turbo kit from TopSecret published on a website: http://www.turboclub.com/topsecret/products/z33.htm

TS-Z33-TURBO Bolt on Single Turbo Kit $5,510
