Default Twin Turbo

I'm just wondering how many people are going to be putting a tt on their z?

Please answer!

I will when I get a Z (oh the wonderful wait ) I have to wait for the warranty to get about 3/4 done before I will do it though.

Not planning on it in the near future. I want to work all motor right now and see how far I can get.
Then I will go ahead and work on the TT setup.

My goal 400+ RWHP on a daily driver

though by that time it won't be a daily driver but I want to be able to do it if I wanted to.

At the price of the TT kits you can get your engine rebuilt to 300KW NA.

Why bother with FI then?

I'll still have the NOS option after the engine is ready... it'll also be almost indestructable with all those titanium parts :P!

300KW is 402HP NA motor...


its gona cost you so much money to rebuild this motor to 402HP you'd be better of doing a custom TT kit...ill be cheaper and you'll come out with a more flexible car

Why don't you just talk to axis007 (I think it is axis007). He owns the car. They better hope they get at least 450 to the wheel's, everyone else is and more. It wouldn't even be a competition anything less than 450 to the wheels.

I think Top Secret has the most, 463 I think, they were in a recent mag, they tell you how much hp. Greddy's is making 417hp to the wheel's, not 350. This is on safe boost, so get new rods and turn the boost up you will be making 450+RWHP. By the way, Greddy has fried a rod, and Top Secret has went through about 3 engine's.

Actually, I would be a little worried if they didn't fry or blow anything. You have to push a motor to the limits to see how much it can take, luckily only one company will have to.
