After buying one of the first 100 production APS TT kits I finally "pulled the trigger" on the install. It's been a long, patient wait with a lot of home work being done on F.I. this past year.
Scott Performance down in Santa Clara did the work. Along with the APS TT kit install I opted for Ted's custom grind cams, 3 " exhaust, APS Test Pipes, APS Plenum / Strut Bar, JWT Clutch and two Defi Gauges (boost and oil temp).
I drove the car home tonight from the bay area to my house with is about two and half hours. Car was great with no over heating. I am very pleased and happy thus far. This is my first turbo car and my previous NA Z was my first sports car. I am learning how to handle this beast. I have asked Ted to email me my Dyno Sheet as he already had another car on the dyno when I retrieved my car. My car made 473 rwhp at Scott Performance's Dastek Load Based Dynometer. I forgot exactly how much torque she made but I was told that I could expect 420 lbs. Once again I will post the dyno as soon as I have it. I will give more of my impressions of the car in time. I will say for now that everyone who has gone for a spin in the thing has had the **** scared out of them...including me!!!! WHAT A BLAST.

 

Congrats!

 

congrats!

 

Nice work.

 

pics?

 

SWEETTT... congrats, Post THOSE PICS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Damn i still dont know what it feels like to turbocharge a Z...

 

Must be a boost of fun. Congrat's & Enjoy!!

Speaking of boost, how much you running?

 

I really do appreciate all the technical support and congrats you guys have given me. I am sure I will be here with all of you still pioneering the way to the safest and most reliable path POSSIBLE to F.I. on the 350Z.
My car is holds 9 lbs. of boost and is a sheer animal. Keep in mind people this is my first boosted car. As a matter of fact this is only the second car I've ever owned. I am really learning the car and how to take car of it. I will try and get a vid of me ripping it up in the county here in Norcal. I live way up north where the only thing you need to watch out for is Cows and Cops

 

Where abouts up north do you live? I'm up in Santa Rosa, and would LOVE to check out your setup.

Congrats on the big numbers!

 

Congrats you have waited for this for a while. good shi+

 

Welcome to the club.

 

If your ever up near Chico, California...let me know.

 

Congrad man, did you see my bro car there too? It's the only z there with a CF hood. He's getting the greddy put in by Ted. How long did it take before you got your car back? Anyway maybe we'll catch each other at SP. My little bro is so lucky. I wish I never sold him the car. LOL! But at least I will still get to drive it. He's hoping for some big number too.

 

Congrats bro....those are just about my same #'s before my water injection...I had 470whp and 416wtq... I have same exact parts... Saw you car there silver right?? We should meet up and make some vids where you at?

 

Yeah...sure did. I liked the CF hood. My car looks totally stock in appearance except for some Toyo tires and window tint. I have a sleeper Silver Stone Z for now...sure does not sound stock though!
Bigbri I am near Chico and I am going to try and get my first practice vid this afternoon. I will have to figure out how to post it after that.

 

Cool you can mail it to me and I can put it up...If you ever in roseville... sac area hit me up....when you taking that bad boy to the track lets set up a day where all the z guys go together...

 

Are talk to calimarc or me? LOL! I got a very cool video idea. I made a few video in the past and post it on this form. But the location of the file gotten deleted. But your intrested i can email you those vid. I'll PM with the idea. Kinda dont' want people suprise. Let me know if your intrested in it.

 

Hey calimarc Do u like the stock BOV that comes with the APS kit? or do u plan on changing it ? if yea to which one and btw.. does ur intercooler have the APS logo in front? and how much was for everything?

 

This being my first turbo car I have to say I like the APS BOV. I assume your asking because most BOVs are louder? My car is sleeper and that is what I perfer. When I get on the gas everyone knows whats up. I don't need my car to be any louder. Thats just what I like. The intercooler does not have the APS logo on it and it is hidden behind a mesh screen.
