Default Jim Wolf Turbo Kit

I just got my car back after having a JWT turbo kit installed. I have only 5 words...

Holy Mary Mother Of God

No offense to Stillen Supercharger owners (what I had on prior) but this makes that kit look silly ... period. I will however say I miss that sound my SC made

Now I just need to learn how to keep my 315's in the rear to stop spinning in 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

From VRT. So you have this kit on a stock bottom end or did I miss where you said you built the motor?

The tires fit on the Nismo wheels or Volk TE-37's. No need to even roll the fenders. I'm not sure what the offset is but I'm sure it'll be easy for you to find out.

I have a stock engine except for Cams. I cannot believe the f'ing power this kit puts out. It'll be at Jim Wolf's Dyno tomorrow (for a few days while he tunes it) and I will post dyno charts as soon as I get them.

As to why I am able to get a JWT kit when they are not available; my kit is considered a "prototype" kit. It's for testing purposes. But let me tell you guys, no BS, this kit is NO JOKE. It's the real deal. I mean I'm literally scaring myself. I'm up to 120mph in a matter of seconds. No BS. I don't work for Jim or VRT and have NO commitment/sponsorship to either company, just saying it like it is. There is NO turbo lag and I just smoke the tires from 1st through 3rd. (still need to learn how to drive it … LOL). And just think, I'm only at 6 lbs of boost! I haven't even gotten into turning up the boost and tuning the damn car!!!!!!! I can't wait to go there.

It's a sweet/sorrow goodbye to the Eaton blower. I do miss the whine of that blower.

FYI, anyone waiting to buy turbo kit, trust me, it's worth the wait.

PM me if you are seriously interested and can't wait for CARB approval.

As if you needed more power for you to spin the wheels from light to light!! I can only guess at how much you will scare the $hit out of all your passengers now! Congrats you finally got where you wanted to be via a very long and drawn out road. Can't wait for a ride in it after the tune.

Has VRT installed this kit on an 06 yet? Any problems with the 06 ECU? I saw your car at the last LA/San Diego meet, sweet ride btw. Hope to see you again soon at another meet to see that beast.

You should get in touch with USN HM 350Z. He just moved out to Virginia. Not sure how far from you?? He is selling his car with a built JWT TT kit. You might just be able to see it first hand?

Congrats on the kit. I think I figured out how you got those 315's to fit. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the offsets on those Nismo wheels are in the 30's, rather than the more common 22offset TE37. The 30'something offset pushes the wheel deeper into the fender well, so you dont rub the fender.

I can tell you for certain, that if a car is lowered more than 1 inch, a 315 will definately rub on a typical 22offset TE37...I have some.

Congrats on the JWT kit....and post some dyno results when you get a chance.
