Default Patrick's Built Motor APS Twin Turbo Z

To share information regarding boosted Z's and G's I am going to post a few pics of some of the incredible vehicles we have worked on recently!

First up is Patrick's built & boosted Z. Pat came to us after having an unsuccessful APS Twin Turbo installation. We fixed many of his problems, including having his turbo's rebuilt, but unfortunately they had damaged his engine.

Pat decided this was the perfect opportunity to go all out... We had Pat's block machined to accept custom AAM Spec/JE Pistons. Carillo H-Beam rods were selected and the rotating assembly was fully balanced. JWT camshafts rounded out the engine build-up. Using Pat's APS Twin Turbo Kit, APS 3 inch Exhaust System, 650cc injectors, and the AAM Spec Fuel Rail System & Fuel Pump Upgrade, Mike wrote a custom AAM Flash Program to get everything to work smoothly with Pat's Unichip fuel computer. We cranked out 567.07whp & 462.02wtq on our dynojet with an extremely smooth power band!

Here are some pics of Pat's bad-*** 350Z

I wouldn't say unsuccessful. My engine just wasn't ready for turbo action at that time. It's a 3 inch APS exhaust before someone calls bs. Thanks.

I'm betting $20-25K+ with the TT kit.

well I think it is inappropriate to ask the person who paid the bill that question, and i don't expect them to answer, at least not on an open forum.

It is also up to the dealer to disclose their prices if they feel it is necessary.

But your bet is low i bet

i dont think its inappropriate. if the owner wants to disclose it, more power to him but if he doesnt i fully respect that too. i do think it would be inappropriate if the person asking the question cries/whines if the owner does not want disclose this information. otherwise, it doesnt hurt anyone just to ask. i personally would pm the guy.

you said what I was trying to say. you just said it better than I did.

but its just like asking how much you just paid for a house, it kinda puts someone in an awkward position, ya know?

If I just spent how much I am sure he did I would not want to say anything, especially to someone over the net.

That was at 10.5-11lbs but right now I'm running 8.5lbs. My wastegates are finicky and I have to think about if I want to do open wastegates.

very very nice work and great looking car!!!
I assume this is with the AAM plenum spacer?

How much boost did it take? I wanted to compare, I did a 515rwhp with a customers APS TT car a few weeks ago and I am curious how much more boost it would take to bring him up to where your car is. He was out of fuel with the APS fuel system at the time which is why we stopped.
