Exclamation [B]Do I need any other parts for my turbonetics?[/B]

I am new to this forum or any forum for what that is worth, I bought the turbonetics kit for my 350z and should receive it next week sometime. I also bought a autometer boost gauge, egt gauge, and a uego wideband a/f gauge. Is there any other mods you would recommend to make the car run well. I bought the jwt clutch/flywheel as well. Any advice to make the engine healthier would be great, oh yea I bought a nismo low temp thermostat as well.

Well it all depends on you budget, buy if you want to have great numbers... I would addvise getting some type of engine management such as the U-tec, Hks f-con pro, or Emange Ultimate or Emanage Blue. Will give you better tunning and control of your a/f and fuel intake + advanced timing. Its up to you!

Ok, I'm stupid when it comes to upgrades like Emange Ultimate, I know what it is, but what exactly does it do?

the EU is more of a piggy back and not a stand alone engine management, it's a fuel computer which is very advanced in timiing, for more info on that Sharif is the guy to talk to @ ForgedInternals... He is on the forums send him a pm.

Everything baove plus some heat wrap which I just ordered-I went with the new DEI black exhaust wrap(looks great) and metal ties, $40 from summit racing. I also ordered a JWT oil pan spacer so I wouldnt have to tap the block for the oil return($105 shipped). I think the only other thing I personally will be getting not mentioned above is a fuel line tap so I can run my fuel pressure guage to that and make that install easier. If you run your car hard or want the added piece of mind you can look at an oil cooler, and/or a Koyo radiator.

True on the koyo... but it is a VERY TIGHT FIT.... make sure you have a shop do it, it comes real REAL close to the pulley.

Alberto, When are you going to install that kit of yours. You have had it for a long time. At least you will do it right the first time. Good Luck.

If all goes as planned Ill be installing the kit after X-mas but before New Years, maybe shortly after New YEars though, I have soooo many parts waiting to be installed its gonna be a 2 or 3 day mod fest

Tek, HERE is the exhaust wrap I bought, and HERE are the locking ties I bought. I purchased two sets of the locking ties so I made sure I had enough....

If you go to Summitracing.com and do a search on DEI Exhaust Wrap you will see there 50ft kit. I used the Thermo-Tec stuff. I'm sure it is very similar. Make sure you buy more than 50ft. I used about 80ft for the whole TN exhaust section.

Hmm I ordered the 2"x50' roll of Thermotec too. Well I'll wrap all the hard to get to pipes first and if I need more I'll order it later.

I wrapped all of my piping minus my manifolds and intake piping with a 50' roll of Thermotec wrap. It works fine if you aren't wrapping the manifolds or are just leaving them on the car, but you might want to get the 2nd roll if you are wrapping them.

Also, remember that more header wrap isn't a good thing. You want to wrap it evenly and tightly with about a 1/4inch overlap between wraps.

Alberto: That's the same wrap and ties that I have. Be careful with those damn ties, the ends are sharp (I found out the hard way)

I also cut my finger with the ties. I guess 50ft could be enough problem was I wasted some when I messed up in the beginning. Also it is pretty itchy stuff when it gets on you. Good Luck.

Edit in above: 1/4inch overlap, not 14inch.
