<against the grain>
I wouldnt run a FMU on my $5000 civic, and i wont run one on my 350z. Atleast its got a timing box!
</against the grain>

Look, the kit is great. That intercooler is defaintly all u need. People run way too big coolers these days that do nothing but reduce turbo system efficeny.

 

of course this happens after we buy our PE kit............poopsicles


awesome news tho Sharif

 

I can't find the S2 camshafts listed anywhere, either on your site or JWT's.....

 

I'm very curious about these cams myself. No rough idles and will this make the idle drop? Can u still use these even if u dont upgrade the head? What kind of pw band will these make and the most important question, will these pass emissons?

 

I have to agree with you on this one. I spent months getting the turbo article to come to print. It was difficult to get all the kits together in the same place/time. During the months I worked on the article, I had the opportunity to talk to Jim often and he was always extremely helpful and a wealth of information. It is great to meet a guy that knows so much about Nissan's yet is humble about it.

 

and now the saving begins!!!!!

 

Looks like the Turbonetics will be on sale soon.

 

Can I ask why anybody that doesn't live in CA cares one bit about CARB legality. Seems like they should make a CA Carb kit, and sell it to the rest of the world as a kit that would make more sense.

The problem with passing carb is NOT the injectors, or the fuel pump. It's the cat light time.

 

PM sent!

 

Cat light time is just one issue, although probably the biggest hurdle.

The S2 and C2 cams will be added to the website shortly.

They are all priced the same...S1, S2, or C2.

 

Sharif...anything on the S2 cams? I can't find them on your website or JWT's...

 

Well from my envolvement, it's the only thing really holding back most of the kits (and you'll notice nobody has a legal kit for the same reason). GReddy wouldn't have gone as far as they did with aftermarket injectors. The kit is CARBed as a whole, not just parts, so whatever they need to put in the kit to pass is what is good.

But I keep seeing people mention CARB legal in other states, and I think that really confuses people to think that it matters anywhere but CA.

Other states have strict standards like CA (I'm from CT with the same standards) but it just has to pass the sniffer, which 99% of the time with a low boost kit isn't a problem.

 

That thread in the last week with JWT having an Crashed Car with Quick Lite up O2 Sensors is the "Hey This is a Clue !"

With this change of O2 sensors the JWT is a winner to pass CARB

Sharif please advise us as new information is released

Cheers Amy -

 

S2 has a 256 duration, vis 260 for the S1. From what I have been told, the area on the curve is nearly identical to the higher duration S1 cam, but the cars idle much better, and typically do not require any idle increase tricks.

 

You are correct. As far as I know, all of the FI kits on the market are 49 state legal, and only the Vortech SC and Stillen SC are CARB exempt (CA smog legal)

Because CA is the largest market for aftermarket performance parts, CARB exemption is an important issue, especially since Greddy, JWT, Vortech, Stillen, and TN are all located within the People's Republic of California.

 

The CARB issue is important in most states not just Ca. Because Ca has the only program for approving modifications many other states use the CARB approval as the gold standard. In my state of Az for example your vehicle will either be tail pipe tested or the ECU will be checked for error codes and a visual for cats. If you pass this test your home free unless they find engine has been modtified. If they do the only way your going to get passed is if the mod has CARB approval. The exact requirements for emissions testing state by state can be researched on the net.

 

Congrats Sharif.

 

Awesome. Good to know that you will be installing the JWT kit since your only a state away from me. Do you know when the JWT kit will be out for the 06's?

 

they exist, I have a set of them in my garage, thanks to JWT.

big thing about them is they perform WITHIN a few whp of the S1 cams, but you don't have to worry about decreasing idle quality with the S2's. Very nice cam, great idea for the 04-05 members, some of which don't have the ability to raise stock idle via consult or cipher.

 

nope not sure but i got one on my 06
