That is a good question. Knowone has been able to find out. I emailed and had a few other companies also, but they replied that it is in production at this time just like the killer body kit.

thanks,
Greg

I was talking to jerry at bozz performance. he said that he can get it for you, the price is about 7G roughly. It is a TT setup if i remember correctly. anyway you can call him to verify everything. Their website is www.bozzperformance.com , hope this help.

That has to be a turbo setup. Look at the second airfilter in the engine picture. Not to mention I have never seen a supercharger with a front mount intercooler like that.

Unless Top Secret had a USA spec kit then it will not fit. THE JDM and USA cars have different manifolds due to driving on different sides. Power Enterprise is currently making USA -Spec manifolds and working on tuning the kit. I like the kit also along with the body kit which is called G-Force. The Intake manifold is awesome.

thanks,
Greg

Yes that does have twin turbo fitted.

There is an article with this car in a performance mag in Australia at the moment.

It discusses the HKS kit with 3037S turbo that puts out about 298kw and there is the Top Secret twin turbo kit with twin TD05 with about 300kw.

I will have a read and send through more info

The wheels are the car are Volk TE-37 special edition just for Top Secret. This is what the article and web site say.They are 19 or 18 inch 8.5 in front and 10 inches in the back.

Greg

Are you sure it is a twin turbo?

Everything I had read and seen previously said that the TS kit was single turbo, like the HKS.

I also can't see a second air filter.

It looks like a single turbo setup, but by the size of that manifold and the intake piping (3.5-4"), that should be a big **** of a turbocharger.

The intercooler looks pretty big too, so that should be a serious turbo. Top Secret is know for their wicked cars, so this shouldn't be an exception.

ok in the may 2003 Import Racer that i just picked up because i saw that it had an article on a Turbo 350z...so i look in it and its the Top Secret Z33 Turbo....which i would guess to be a single turbo. Its says 460 kwps @ 7600rpm (not sure if its crank or wheel) usin a converter i think 460 kwps would be 616.87 hp....thats insane...can someone double check me on that to make sure i did the right calculations. The torque was crossed out but i could make the first digit out to a 7. Modifications are said to be Top Secret GT30 Pro S turbo kit including intercooler, piping, and such. claimed top speed at 345 km/h (this was crossed out too?).


The One...the wheels are Rays/Volk Racing TE37 limited editions like Turbo03 said but thyre 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear

THIS IS AWESOME...buying the whole magazine was worth it just to look at those couple pages...

i was just thinking would it be smart to put a single turbo on a v engine i thought it would have to have two so it would have ecual presur on both sides of the engin headers.

The top secret 350z is featured in Modified Mag. If I remember correctly it was putting 567hp out on stock internals.

Heres their website www.modified.com

"567hp out on stock internals"

Please elaborate, if this is true the stock internals are much stronger than anyone has suspected. Can you find the article and copy it to this post??
Thanks

The TopSecret Z33 is in one of the new Option magazines I just received. It states that there is just enough room to add small turbos on both left and right sides of the engine bay. However, they didn’t like the idea of using small turbos on a large displacement engine so the idea was scrapped. In addition, due to cost concerns, they decided not to go with a twin turbo set-up. After much work, they finally were able to fit a larger turbo in the Z33 engine bay. This was accomplished by swapping out the alternator (I think, don’t have the magazine with me right now) for a smaller one that is used in the Y30 and moving some other things around. The most painstaking part was designing a new intake manifold. They found that the stock manifold did not distribute the air evenly under forced induction and therefore had to be replaced. I think they said that total HP was now up to 450, which was also the limit for the stock internals.
