Hey whats up guys, i have question.....im about to buy my 350Z and i was looking at the forums about the greddy turbo, ok this is a twin turbo, intercooled, and a lot more mods and only goes for 350 hp?!?!?!?! I know its not that bad but take a look at this i have 98 eclipse gs, with a star perfomance turbo intercooled kit and went from 140 hp to 285....with a single turbo and a lot more old engine....so i want to know whats happening???

 

buy my rims, thats whats happening.

 

ok?

 

350 (actually I think it's a little less) is the rwhp. Greddy is selling the kit at 5.6 psi, but that doesn't mean you can't increase the boost. The real question is how high?

 

The Real question is when? I have talked to Greddy and they have told me not to expect to see a kit out until then end of year because they are going to go for CARB approval.

thanks,
Greg

 

Do you have a dyno to prove you have 285hp in your RS? Is that to the wheels or is that calculated at the crank? Also, are you on stk bottom end? 145 crank hp gain is a lot for a stk bottom end.

Also, the latest Turbo mag says 334RWHP. That's close to 390 crank hp.

 

Exactly 99AllTurbo - there is no way a simple bolt on kit took your car to 285 HP at the wheels...maybe at the crank.

Different motors respond differently to forced induction add ons. I think you will all be pretty impressed at what a boosted Z33 can do....

As another 9283493 threads must say... the Greddy TT got 345 @ .45bar boost, which translates to roughly 7psi. If the set up is good, and they don't do any stupid crazy shi* to it, the should handle a lot more, I would guess around 14psi. If you decided later that isn't enough, new pistons and convert compression to 9.0:1, and you just unlocked a lot more boost.
