Default Killer Turbo Setup! AMAZING **PICS**

Check out what's being in the works by Jotech...

2 garrett gt28 bb turbos, custom stainless manifolds, tial wastegates, xs intercooler, and a motec m800.

"it's getting a motec M800 with a conversion harness so it'll plug into the factory wire harness and it'll even control the drive by wire t/b. This also includes injectors, fuel pump, full 3" stainless exhaust, etc." -Tony

But seriously, Larry, Curly & Moe aside, that is some impressive hardware. Where did you get those beautiful pics? Were you there? That looks like some very serious pocket right there. Are they doing some internal engine mods to handle those big turbo's? Nice plumbing!!

Looks like Skidazzle's (sp?) car, and my guess would be Jotech in Garland, TX....

That is SWEET!! Are they going to offer this kit to the public, or is it a one off race piece for themselves? What would something like this cost?

What are the projected (or has it been officially released already) performance increases / new #'s once it's installed?

This is a CUSTOM job for SkiDazzle. I believe it is capable of 400 - 650 rwhp!!!

Can you say "GT2 Hunter!"

Skidazzle has one of the most amazing cars on this site. I can't believe you haven't said anything, man your holding out on us.
With that turbo system, look out everyone else, Greddy, Tops Secret, Power Enterprise, HKS, here he comes.

Hey guys,
I was considering one of these custom setups, but my question was about the electronics, tuning, etc. It seems like these large companies like Greddy, PE, Top secret, etc. go through months of testing, changing parts, tuning. With a custom setup like this how is it possible to get everything right? If it was that easy wouldn't the turbo kits already be on the market? From what I have read it seems the mechanical part of adding the turbos isn't anything new, but getting everything to run smoothly and work the all the electronics in the car is a much more involved process. Can anyone explain this? Also what I concluded was that it was better to wait a couple months install an aftermarket kit and then add parts, increase boost etc, rather than go complete custom. what do you think?
Thanks.

A turbo kit isn't really something special or new... I truely believe with custom kits you can get better results. I had a custom kit on my car before, all you need is the proper guy to tune your car. This car here is using motec800, once the car is tuned its basically a walk in the park. I can't wait till AEM comes out with their EMS (Engine Management System) for the Nissan 350z. But to each their own. Nothing really to be afraid of boys and girls

Tuning.... Tuning.... Tuning

OK, you get the point. Like Marcus said if you got the $, anything is possible. Most people don't want to spend $1000's to dyno tune a car and set up the correct fuel and timing maps, but it is possible with a good tuner. Good tuners are hard to come by and they are not cheap. If done correctly, custom is the way to go. Just think, do you ever see any of the big time racers using an off the shelf turbo? Nope, all custom, because they have the green and the expertise, and that is what it takes.

Dude unless you have a crazy *** race setup, I never heard of anyone paying 1,000 to Dyno tune a street car specially from a "GOOD TUNER". If your good, it shouldn't take but a few hours at the most. I got my car tuned from Harvs Performance (The guy who tune www.venom-racing.com cars and he charged me $300.00 for 2 HOURS! The car was PERFECTLY tune perfect A/f Ratio and all.. Now than if your suck as tunning than you can spend a pretty penny and that's where it gets expensive. The way I see it is anyone who gets in the heavy modifcation range MONEY isn't in an issue... And like I always tell everyone, if you decided to take this route you better have funds or else get out! Cause it isn't cheap. Stick to your intake header and exhaust combo and be happy reliable. Anyhow dont mean to stir things up just giving my .02 cents.

Custom setups are great if you are a serious racer with your own shop and you have all day to screw with it. It takes so much tuning to get it right (along with broke parts) it isn't a very good idea for some guy off the street unless you have lots of $$$, time, and don't care about the condition of the car or reliability as long as it's fast.

IMO, if you're an individual who want to turbo a car that isn't turbo from the factory you should just stick with the kits that are bolt on and have been tested extensively.

The sad thing is the "Bolt on kits" tend to be more dangerous... Your probably not aware, but check out forums like www.clubsi.com ask them in the boost forum. The stock GREDDY "BOLT ON KIT" is very dangerous and have blown up lots of motors with their "blue box" (FMU). Tuning your car is much more reliable. My friend blew his SI with the Greddy kit. See, understand that these "Bolt on kits" come with FMU. Believe it or not Greddy kits are tuned in Japan. What about people that live in Texas/Florida or Chicago... Temparatures is a big thing, detonation plays an important role. Colder temp makes you run richer. Anyway, if I do get the Greddy kit I wont be relying on their BLUE BOX... Why do you think they are including th E-manage?? Because to many people blew their **** up. Don't believe what I say, call Greddy yourself and ask for Kenji... I used to visit them quite often and believe me standalone is the only way to keep your engine with peace of mind stock or fully built...
