Alright I have had my z for about 3 months now and I am kicking around the idea of a turbo. I want to do something in the next couple weeks, and have been reading up on this kit mostly. I just want some peoples honest opinions about how they like it. Before anyone flames me I did search, I just have a few general questions that I didn't see answers to.

What are the power potentials on a built motor with this kit?

The install doesn't seem like it is too much of a pain in the ars but what are the average times of hardware install?

I haven't seen any real up close pics of under the hood but is it a pretty clean look?

Is there anything I need right away for the install of this kit besides gauges like clutch, fuel or anything?

Is there anyone in Maryland with this kit that can take me for a ride?

Thanks Guys.

 

I have some pretty good pics at http://members.***.net/turbonetics350z

The turbo is good for about 600 RWHP at 20 PSI
The injectors would need to be upgraded but Turobnetics is going to be offering 500 cc injectors and a flash for them soon

Nothing major needed for this kit though IMO gauges are mandatory for any F/I kit

 

Starter of the thread, there is a BOOST section... And you should consider yourself lucky that MIA is such a good member... Most other sites I visit you would have already been flamed for not searching and posting in the correct section.

 

Thanks Guys I really appreciate the help.

Whats a good company to purchase the kit from?

 

AAM, Avalon Racing, Forged Internals.com

 

We are running a special on them for the rest of this month. $4720 shipped to your door. I have one in stock, and several more in about 4-5 weeks.

Great kit...with a solid 380whp out of the box, and a relatively straightforward 10-12 hour install.

 

Damn....How come everyone has one of these in stock but the guys I ordered from

 

Yea I like that "relatively straight forward install" from what I hear if you got a lift and proper tools then a person with general knowledge could install this kit with minimal effort.

 

The HOTNESS!



Green = Turbonetics
Red = 9psi Vortech with AAM Tune
Blue = Stock (need to find a new plot this one is a little low but gives you a general comparison)

 

Please bring on the hotness... No pic.

 

The feedback I have recieved indicates that the kit is very easy to install...on par with a supercharger. The more challenging areas are getting all the piping to fit properly, and dont worry...this is a PITA with all of the forced induction kits as well. The Z engine bay is just so tight, that you have to be patient when lining up the piping. Also, you will need to refill your AC (less than $100), since an AC line needs to be removed and reinstalled.
