this may sound like a dumb question...

Can you hear the turbo spooling better than say a Greddy or APS TT where the turbos are more under the car? Also... how's the power feel in the much higher rpm range closer to redline?

 

I have seen the GReddy Type-S (or is it Type-R, I can't remember) on this kit. It is a direct bolt-on replacement for the raptor, no modification of the kit required.

 

The power pulls from mid 3k all the way to redline. And it pulls HARD. As for hearing it more I'm not sure. But you can definitely hear it...

 

i have riden in an aps twin turbo'ed z, and a 2 different turbonetics z's. i really can't remember which one u can hear spooling up more than the other. i will say that the tq feels much harder to me in the aps twin turbo z than either of the turbonetics z, also the aps twin z i rode in was faster than 1 of the turbonetics z i rode in. i myself have a vortech sc and i have raced 1 of the turbonetic's z's and the aps twin, the aps twin had me by a few car lengths while the turbonetics and i were dead even, i also must say that the aps twin has many many more mods done to the car also, intake plenum, exhaust, and somewhat of a tune. (unichip reflashed) clutch/flywheel.
the turbonetics i raced was turbo only, nothing else done. i have sc with 3.12 pulley, headers, test pipes, and exhaust.

best bang for buck would have to be hands down turbonetics single turbo. but if i were to get rid of the vortech for the turbonetics or aps system i would be 100% sure to get rid of the unichip that aps comes with and get the greddy emanage ultimate. i just can't see myself haveing to ship off my ecu(turbonetics) / unichip (aps) if the car's a/f ratio is off.

 

Why would you need to ship off the Unichip if your A/F is off? You just get it retuned while its still in the car like the EU.

 

Lets see... because not everyone can cruise down the block to an authorized Unichip tuner???

 

Damn u beat me to it. But like he said, there is only 1 or 2 places in the us that can tune a uni-chip , same for ecu reflash, many shops can tune a greddy e manage. hell, anyone can that has a laptop,

Speaking of the reflash. This is what will hurt me due to my work schedule I only have sat-mon off and I heard I have to send my ecu to tnetics for reflash. I know its overnight but If I send out on saturday I might not get it back until mon or tues. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

 

I don't think Fedex delivers on Sundays, right? So, I'm assuming it would be back in your hands on Tuesday morning.

 

Rent a neon for a few bucks.

 

I have my dads truck to drive until its all done. LOL@ renting a neon. I would much rather ride my bike 15miles. Well what if I send it out on a friday? When could I expect it back? I have to install the st kit, jwt clutch and fly combo and a borla exhaust so I have a good 4 days ahead of me. Hope it all works out. I cannot wait to drive the beast.

 

better pics of my t-netics

btw, my cusco strutbar has been modified.

 

Simple beautiful.

 

one more thing i did. currently deployed. more to come soon.



shift **** is from forgedinternals.com. i love it!!

 

Congrats bro!!!! THats one nice Z!!! Are you coming of hte Zdayz cruise this year?

 

Nice install. It is always nice to see someone happy with their new turbo kit. The way you did the photo of the engine bay blended with the exterior of your Z looks sweet.

 

I am very happy with the Z and my new turbo kit. i got to drive it for like 900 miles before deploying overseas. when i return from my deployment, i have plans for the greddy emanage ultimate and AAM return fuel system and/ or do-luck sides and rear plus some minor modifications to my current vizage bumper. i want 400hp to the wheels. i will be satisfied with 400hp until one day i can get my engine forged. i do all the work myself and or with friends but internals are something i won't tackle myslef. Anything i don't do myself i will let CPracing do. my ultimate goal with my Z is for it to be featured in a major magazine. i feel i am pretty much there, just need more horsepower.

thanks for the compliments everyone.

btw, the see through engine pic is a very simple photo chop to do.

 

i just might go this year. i also plan on going to Zfest in orlando. when is Zdayz? i hope to have time to do the things i want prior to these events after returning from overseas.

 

some time in april or may i believe... Kelly knows the date!
