I havent seen any thread that goes over this, but correct me if i'm wrong.

Just trying to get some info about Turbo'ing the 350Z.

1. What are the available Turbo / Twin Turbo Kits out there.
2. What sort of power are people getting out of these systems ? (As claimed ?)

I know about the APS (lil exxy), Turbonetics and GReddy Kits, but I want to get an idea of power vs money, spool time etc.

Maybe as well as factoring ease of install.

Anyone care to shed some light ?

Thanks,

Mick.

 

Dood good luck with this thread...i tried awhile back asking for a comparison (made easy) but that's like pulling teeth LOL but ill keep my eye out incase theres a miracle!!! But best bet is to search search and search yet again and gather the info yourself...actually learn a lot that way

I know a bit about them already.
I more so want to know about peoples experiences with them.
whether the kit gave them the power that was claimed, or wanted, and if there were any hassles with installation, pricing etc.

 

it would have been more wise of you to not ask this most broad, most asked question ever in the history of the board, and instead look around, read, and search.

 

It seems people with Turbo's 350s dont want to answer this...
I've done searching, but still not satisfied with my findings.
So if anyone wants to leave their 2 cents or not thats fine either way.

 

The reason why we don't want to anwer "this" is because the thread always turns into a this kit> this kit. Mostly everyone is going to say that whatever kit they have installed on their car is the best. I find it hard to believe that you can't find the information you need. There are 100's of thread about most TT kits.

 

Exactly, and besides that... What's his face had a thread with info on all available kits which used to be sticky'ed... Which are still floating around here in this section somewhere...

Information is here, and you have to search... I do understand there is a lot of crap to go through in order to find the threads that have the info you want. But nature of the forum beast.

Agreed with Gman2004, there are so many threads.

 

Get a Supercharger

I just had to .

 

Do a search man, dont be lazy, and dont take people telling you to search in a bad way. We have all gone through what you are asking and we all made decisions based on our needs/goals, the information is out there. So search. take your time reading and learn some in the process, good luck.

 

 

Anyone thought of getting a Super and Turbo Charged setup ? lol

 

Please no hahaha, I just had a Mini in here someone put together it had the stock supercharger, a GT35R turbo, and a Nitrous kit what a nightmare, just stick with Turbo or superchargers if ya want two go with twin turbos

 

Yep. overZealous1 is doing it now. The reason most people won't answer is because in the journey to find these answers you will gain a better understanding of the whole scope of FI'ing a VQ35. Long and short of it. Best pure plug and play - APS with the Unichip. Best for big power - SFR's twin 60-1 hifi's(although a Greddy kit will a little machining can have twin 60-1). Best Single - There isn't a definitive answer. Most unsafe out of the box - I say a tie between the Procharger and Greddy(on stock boost). Both don't address timing. Although Procharger might now.

 

Thanks for that...this is something like wat I was after.

 

Personally I think the turbonator is the best bang for your buck....too bad nobody told me that when I was shopping for turbo kits....

 

Would also say Tnetics ST is best bang for buck. IMO, once they start using an ems instead of ecu flash it would be a much better kit. APS kits probably the most complete, very good #'s on stock G/Z, make sure your near a unichip tuner. Greddys very good as well, just needs couple more parts to make it safe, a great tuner kit for built motors. I really like the JWT kits, but only offered to couple shops installed only, so once kit is actually offered to public, will see more feedback regarding reliability and #s from different dyno shops. SFR great kits, but its custom built, so it should be installed by SFR or SFR/SSR dealers, also a great tuner kit. Vortech IMO best SC kit bang for buck. Great #'s and very reliable. Stillen SC, most reliable FI kit out, but #'s are only low 300's, and pricey. ATI very good #'s for SC kit, but requires couple parts to make it safe. HKS probably similar to Stillens.

 

i gained 350 whp with the turbonator. i can also go 250 now it is great.

 

KenStyle, I'm getting the SFR kit soon with teh 60-1 hifi and wanted to ask you, since you have the kit, [1] when does the boost kicks in [2] do you have the bb option [3] how much hp did you get of it and at what psi.

Thanks,

Az

PS: You can e-mail (aalzuhair@aol.com) or PM the information if you don't want to post it.

 

honestly...every kit has a positive side making it slightly different from others. honestly, i feel that the reason most dont make a comment on all the kits is because they chose a kit that they researched and found to be just what they were looking for... which is what you will have to do. simply search each kit... read their claims to faim...look at the photos of their kits... see if you like the set up and finally look at the price and make sure the piggy-bank likes it too....

....probly the only way your gonna get the answers you want! any other answer will be opinionated towards what that person likes and possibly not what you may be looking for. another way to see is to attend car shows...look at these kits in person...take a ride in a few buddies cars if u have that option and feel the drive... watch the timing...all that good stuff...

ok the horse has been beat'n...
