Hi,

I am a Z driver from Belgium and I want to tune my car. Engine bay. I want to buy an APS twin turbo kit . I have been told that this turbo kit can put out 420horsepower on the wheels (540hp on the engine). And they say without changes in the motor. Is this true? And can the motor handle the power? Wont it blow up after a year? Its for drag racing.

Regards
ps: sorry for my english

 

its true, and the engine isn't too strong for FI. It all depends on the tune. Some people on the forum have gone for 40k+ miles on FI, while others have barely gone 2k.

 

What does FI means?

 

go to the forced induction (FI) forum, it's all about turbos and such. read and search all about the different systems, but if you are sold on APS, make sure they have an authorized dealer/installer in your area.

 

Forced Induction forum

 

Yes, make sure you get a tuner in your area who knows what they're doing. F/I means "forced induction", like turbochargers or superchargers which force air into your car. 420whp sounds about right; it all depends on how you tune it as well.

 

He told me that if I bought the kit and the test pipes from APS, that it would be enough to obtain those hp numbers. But I think that the engine must be changed on the inside to stay whole. I dont wanna blow up my car, to expensive. Can anyone give me some details on how much hp a stock engine can handle without blowing up.

 

Depends on the tune really, you could easily get your 420rwhp, but if your tune is off, your motor wont last very long....

 

If you run the "out-of-the-box" tune on the unichip (which is the piggy back engine management), ... you should be fine. You just have to Make Sure that the tune on the unichip is appropriate for the gas you will be using where you live...

 

+1. My car runs perfectly on the out of box tune albeit at 7 psi with a manual boost controller.

 

FYI- 420whp is NOT equal to 540bhp on the Z33.

 

its more like close to 500
