LOL wow could that have been any bigger, by the time I read that I'd have the damn TT kit installed

I know theres a lot more work involved in a 350zTT kit than my 240sx Sr20 swap, but I took that challenge without ever knowing anything about the thing, since then ive done a few swaps and would LOVE the challenge of the Z

its the last time I went to the gym @ 9pm, dont see that **** @ 5

yea, its probably the tuner kit.. You would need to dish out more to complete it..

MRC/FP, were having huge deals in the Greddy/APS TT kit installed + base tune for $9k-$10k..
but then you would still need an exhaust, plenum, strut and TP's or HFC's.
It adds up quick, which is why I have not pulled the trigger yet...

Edit: greddy would need a FMIC..

Are you volunteering?!

To be honest with you I would love to tackle a custom turbo kit, fabing up all the piping, exhaust, DP, everything except exhaust manifolds, too much time.
I was gonna make an equal length manifold for my KA-T project, before I quit on that.

i watched my mech. do the TT install and it didn't look incredibly complicated (minus ripping the engine out completely). the engine bay is just crammed as hell and requires a lot of patience navigating the parts with a 1 cm clearance on either side.

Doba

yeah I bet youre right, hence those single turbo kits sounded very good to me when I spent that day researching, it might be somthing Ill look into in a few years, nothing anytime soon

Doba

thats the biggest issue, clearance! looking at everything in a Z engin bay and its like how the hell.

First time tackling that SR swap wasnt easy either though, about 90% of the bolts snapped, which was the biggest kick in the a$$, at least I wouldnt have to worry about that in a Z.

Like you said Time, I have the place and tools, and Im positive I have the "know how" for this, but the $$$ and time away from the Z would probably kill me.

Realistically, it's not worth it for me unless it was a hobby. I'm better off to work as a dentist for a few extra hours on the weekend and pay for it to be done professionally.

I did a couple of small things myself, like plenum, tail lights, wiper, lent a hand with the exhaust. But a turbo just goes beyond hobby for me right now. I'd rather be driving, or in the gym, or doing something else like uselessly wasting my time on UECT.

It would be more fun, if like Jenn said, I had a lot of help from knowlegable friends. But none of my friends are mechanics.

Doba

you guys are meeting up with Sasha soon right? at his new shop? Im interested in seeing what he will offer the 350z community, He's been a part of the local 240sx community for a long time now, I should meet you guys at his place.
He had a kick *** S14

Doba

Thats so true, and as much as a hobby it was for me, when I sold my 240sx I said I dont want to do this ever again lol, and here we are I dont even have my Z yet and Im wishing to get underneath for some custom fabing..

Doba

Hey wanna know something cool ?

Doba

LOL

Volunteering to drink yes!

Meh....in all seriousness I probably would volunteer to help engine work if the opportunity came about!

PS I saw a retard in a red rusty 240sx on the 401 driving like a douche with something to prove. I was like, ha, look at that loser.
