More Greddy info.
In the New Turbo magazine there is an article about the Greddy TT kit. I read it during lunch but I didn't think to write down the numbers letter for letter. I am going to go buy a copy later.
334 rwhp @5.6 psi and something like 328 rw ft/lbs. Blah blah we know the rest except there were these four interesting bits of infro: They ran a 12.9 for Road and Track (or motortrend, I can't remember), they are awaiting the CARB exemption, price will be less than 6000, and it will be on sale this summer. They also said that they may move to smaller turbos. Anywase I am sure someone here subsribes and can scan it.

Just how are those numbers weak? This system has a lot of room for more power. Just turn up the boost. Simple as that. How do you think other companies will put down more power to the ground with a similar system. Simple, more boost. I don't understand why people get so upset when greddy gets a 90-100 rwhp increase from a measily 5.6 psi. Think about it. As soon as you crank up the boost there is limitless power (until you break something).

If you want to dial it up all you need are forged connecting rods and low compression pistons right or do I need more to have a bullet proof engine.
Greddy is selling this kit with carb certify and it has to be RELIABLE for MASS market. They don't want to dial it up too much, then the engine goes boom... who will still buy the kit if you hear ppl that has the kit keeps blowing their engine?
12.9 in the 1/4miles is VERy respectable. You can beat or hang with most cars on the street today! put on a set of slick tires, you may be in the mid to low 12's!!

That the $64K question. No one really knows what the weak points of this motor are. Connecting rods are aleged to be a weak point, but until people start blowing these things up we won't really know.
In that case, all of you who have your Z's now start screwing around with everything and post what breaks. That way when I get my Z I'll know what not to do! Thanks in advance.

Greddy 350Z Kit
Guy's this kit is going to be awesome. The 18G turbos they are using on the car NOW are capable of 400 or so HP a piece. That is an endless amount of Capability to take the kit anywhere you want to go in the future. I have been told ( Grape Vine ) that the car has made 439 RWHP @ 12.8 PSI, that is nothing. Now the rods are VERY small compared to the Z32, not to sure about how much more they will take but, pistons and rods from SGP 
and you can run around on 550 RWHP just like the Z32s. Our piston and rod kit will be done in days, and we have even designed a 11.5 : 1 just for you N/A guy's. I would say with all of the support that the Z is getting, the future looks very bright. It is going to be a good next 10 years for NISSAN and its people.

How about some 8.5:1
8.5:1 are what we started out to make. This is what we are making now should be ready in about a week or so.
8.5:1 Piston set w Extreme duty rings, pins, locks
11.5:1 Piston set w Extreme duty rings, pins, locks
Forged Rods
Valve Guides
Titanium Retainers
This should just about cover the engine hard parts, throw in a set of springs, and cams, and you are complete.
As different cam sets are released, we will look at Oversized valve combinations along with seats.
We will post up pics when we recieve our first order. Although I believe that a crazy man with a Boosted Maxima is getting a set of the 8.5:1s first! ;-)

Guess what kit is available in Oz in another couple of weeks
I saw a Greddy dealer and we discussed it. I am trying to get him to bring it down and fit it to my car as he does not have a Z and will not have a Z to work on.
I will keep all posted as to any developments.
