Same here. But I'm turbocharged

 

Looks clean, i think it was mentioned above its still in R&D so let them finish before we start to bash it down, as we know we will be very happy to do that later on lol. Keep up the good work and lets hope this kit gets done.

 

all points aside...the kit looks nice....Garrett is also my favorite turbo manufacturer....bout time!

 

you get 28 mpg? I call BS . My accord got 16 mpg on a good day....I was boosting like 14 psi. And that's a 4 banger. My supra mpg was real bad...not even close to 28 mpg....i never drove it long distances....it was a borderline track car.

 

hey, just because I get 28mpg doesn't mean it goes in boost at all during that time

I did get 25mpg with a passenger and a loaded hatch area on a trip to NC back in May. Blew my mind, was cruising at 80-85 the whole way!

 

wow...impressive....you keep the boost low? 5-6 psi? I would drive my accord like a grandma and still get bad gas mileage (for a honda). But then again, I always had the boost turned up.

 

I call bs on 28mpg turbo, nitrous, even completely stock. The best I could ever get out of my G when it was completely stock was 21mpg and that was all highway driving. Anyways Nissan claims 19mpg city and 25mpg highway for the 350z.

 

Looks like peak torque on this kit is coming in almost 500 RPM later then the other two ST kits on the market with dynos. What size turbine is being run?

 

I keep a log of my gas mileage. I get 28 mpg going to Austin. Consistant everytime. city driving I get 18-20 depending on traffic. Your G has a longer wheel base and is heavier. Location has alot to do with it too (weather, terrain - houston is FLAT, etc.). Miami isn't much different....you might have a heavy foot.

 

Doesn't get any flatter than Miami. The weather in Miami is similar to Houston other than Houston sees colder weather more often than Miami. As far as wheel base Nissan claims 19mpg city and 25mpg hwy for the 350z not the G.

 

Does everything around you get blurry when you hit the NOS button like in Fast and the Furious?

 

only if he is sucking on the NOS himself. LOL

 

i have had experiences with turbo and nitrous... i don't dog my car every day either.. matter of fact she hardly see's boost until i am ready to get on it.. so thats the same situation as nitrous... but i do know it was a PITA with filling the bottle every couple of days.. and when you finally go to run someone worthy and the bottle is empty or the bottle pressure is low.. I ran 100 shot in my maxima for over a year.. and i was filling up bottles faster than i was filling up my gas tank.. spend the turbo money once.. and boom.. the power is on tap when you need it.

yes i have a 170 whp gixxer too i jump on when i feel the urge to go faster than my Z .. but when i am on the road and i see an M5.. i just can't press a button and transform my Z into a gixxer... neither can i press a bottle to fill the Nitrous bottle..

but as you said.. to eaches own..

 

Miami has humidity that houston doesn't.

 

well he's still claiming 3 more mpg than what Nissan claims which I am sure they are claiming the best case scanario. I don't think Old school is lying I just think his math is a little off.

 

gas mileage is dependent on really how you drive.. and that gauge will shoot up.. or shoot down dependent on your habbits..

i have logged 32 mpg on the gauge in the Z driving for 2 hours using no more than 10% throttle ..

i have logged 23 mpg in my 06 Grand Cherokee driving from MD to CT ... just crusing with light throttle..

 

how are you logging the mpg on your Z?

 

i wasn't logging it.. i was looking at the information gauge before i took it out of the center console

 

there's your problem. you've changed out your injectors to 440's so that gauge was not reading properly.

 

here is when it was showing 30.8 mpg
