OK...I've been watching this and other treads regarding JWT TT setups.

I did some cursory searches to determine if this has already been covered. I didn't see it. Sorry if it's out there.

In as general of terms as possible, could someone, preferably a VRT guy or customer, explain to me why I should go with the JWT TT and not with the Greddy TT this spring?

And what are your thoughts about 3.9FD and FI? I'm considering this, but I'm being told, RATHER LOUDLY, to not buy these new gears if I plan to go FI.

I've been around on another site, but have been following this site very closely, particularly posts involving the JWT TT.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

 

BobbyRitz,

Please Excuse the Length. Honestly - All systems are excellent including JWT, Greddy, Turbonetics, APS, SFR, and more. Yet you must ask what you are looking for? I have had numerous turbos on numerous cars and had multiple SCs on numerous cars. No lies....

However, NOW, I use JWT. Not to Hate or seem Cocky, I prefer JWT and exclusively install this system and our VRT/JWT customers are happy and growing in numbers. JWT has 30 years of experience and just because they haven't released their kit full blown to the public, YET, it is still IMO the best. NO LAG PLEASE....

Confidently I can say the JWT kit will create lil' to no lag. Not just me saying this, I love to race and being LAG FREE IS CRUCIAL to my cars being un-fad-able on a track. This system is absolutely the closest kit if Nissan itself sent the Z and G35 out as TT. Don’t take my word, read SportZ or Speed Magazine. See the graphic below.

NOW: The Greddy kit can be boosted higher and definitely make higher numbers on a Built motor because it simply flows more air. People are doing great things with Greddy so I won't hate. Although, the highest WHP isn't the most important thing to my VRT customers or myself.

IMPORTANT: At VRT we design and tune the cars for the best set-up for the road and track. We don't just tune the car on a dyno and say it has power because the dyno says so. We take them to the track and dominate all classes of streetcars we encounter even monsters like 996 Twin Turbos and New Corvette ZO6's. No BS. Watch our Video. When is the last time you saw any of my competition squaring off with new ZO6's on road racetracks and PASSING A NEW CORVETTE ZO6?

NOTE: The JWT system isn't best if you are trying to make 550 plus WHP or desiring a drag car. I would then prefer a huge single turbo, rev and boost the hell out of the car on 110 octane, launch and slide it between 3500-5000 rpm and hope that the drive-train stays together. We want our cars to be very fast on the 1/4 mile, but we do not set-up our car's: suspension, tires, boost, camber, and weight to be drag cars. Use a huge single turbo, soft suspension, and drag radials if this is the goal.

In contrast, we like to see our cars with huge torque numbers; usually the torque is significantly larger than the WHP by up to 15%. Crazy, but as if you were driving a Viper or Corvette. The WHP is always much lower than the torque in these cars, although please remember it is that torque that will keep you ahead of your competition on a road racetrack exiting corners.

Why? We believe the best use of your cars power is between RPMs 2500-5500, not just a huge peak power number after 5000 rpm. Most of the time on a dyno we only run the car to 5500 rpms because at this number we can see the peak torque. Higher or peak WHP numbers at 6000 plus rpms aren't necessary for our VRT set-ups.

Not hating on any other systems or tuners, just know what I like my car to feel like - No Lag and extreme power with awesome torque. I like to smash the throttle and feel the power instantly. You get this with smaller ball bearing turbos, instant power and lil to NO LAG. Just My 2 cents and my clients seem to agree as they are killing it on the racetracks.

Now, please believe me when I say this, personally I have had turbo systems using T3 turbos that are similar to the older 18Gs Greddy uses. They are definitely larger than the Garrett GT28 the JWT kit uses. TRUELY - The larger the turbo, the more lag. They can make more power. But, I hate lag because it makes for a disadvantage when exiting corners on a track. JMO.

If you want lil to No Lag, JWT and a VRT build is the way.

Would love to discuss. Please PM anytime and provide a phone number and or visit our violentracing website. we can also discuss gearing...

Warmly,

Michael

 

do we know what this kit will run $$$$$ wise ?

 

Please PM or visit and register at violentracing. I don't want to get banned or deleted talking about $$$.

Thanks.

Michael-

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm not necessarily look for big WHP numbers. I don't plan to build my engine...for now.

Here in MD, the tracks are only of the 1/4 mile variety. I want to see my 1/4 times before and after FI, but it really isn't a concern of mine to create a drag car.

What I want is a very streetable FI setup. My research on the Greddy TT (prior to hearing about the JWT TT) suggested that the Greddy TT was both reliable, very streetable and provided a lot of growth potential if I decide to build the engine.

I'll PM you my contact info, I'd like to hear more about this setup.

Again, thanks for the response.

Rob

 

Bobby, the best thing to do is to hit our website and read all the sections. If you have any more questions, you can always call me direct....PM sent with my number

 

Bobby, if you find yourself down in the Virginia Beach area you can swing by and see the JWT TT VRT 350Z for yourself and I can take you for a drive.

 

Thanks Bobby and Prescience,

We can get you the answers you need and we are happy to assists your interest in FI.

Warmly,

Michael

 

You go Mike - vision619.

Want to square off at Willow and Laguna Seca...

With the JWT TT, Nismo rear end, and JIC coilovers added since his last track time he will be spending a few track days figuring out that beast's tendencies. Then then give him the run down at the big tracks...that 4mile track in Parump might be a good one to push him on???

 

Way to go on becoming a My350Z.com Sponsor Mr. A

 

Took some time.

Will send some sick photos your way.

Thanks

 

Appreciate the +1

 

What I like about the JWT kit is what VRT keeps alluding to... the first rule of efficient FI is using turbos that are just big enough for your goals, but not bigger. Many other twin turbo kits use bigger turbos, and have the ability (overhead) to run 800 hp...

But unless you really want to eventually get 800 hp, there is no use. You'll just be carting around bigger turbos with overhead that you don't need. That bigger turbo will spin up slower and cause lag. The power will shift to the upper ends of the RPM band, with more lag down below. The power comes on so fast, it's difficult to manage.

Truth is, 800+ hp is mostly going to go to waste in a G35/350z without massive, super sticky tires and AWD.

I'm not looking for a 1/4 mile monster... wrong car, for one thing. I want a very streetable and trackable setup with even delivery of power (therefore predictable and manageable).

Sure, there are all kinds of street cars with 800+ hp... but you won't see them making good time around a track. For instance, Hennessey Motorsports got a lot of attention when they brought out their 1000+ hp TT Viper... but any time they were part of a comparo in C&D or Motor Trend, or One Lap of America, they weren't taking that package to the tracks. They were using lesser HP cars with nice torque curves. Wonder why?

VRT - what's your experience as to the weaknesses/limits of the drivetrain? Especially the rear end and 6MT tranny? Aftermarket solutions? Torque tends to make things "snap".

 

The company might say it can provide 800 hp worth, but trust me, it cannot

All the kits are actually using turbos with approximately the same overal efficiency range
