I never used the gauge even stock, as I'm sure it can't tell how much gas you put in, etc.

I measure from when I fill up to when I fill up, miles vs. gallons.

I measure tank to tank as well. Even stock I only got 325 miles to the tank. I am getting 260 miles now. The reason I asked is because a lot of people go off their navi systems or gauges then you see them post I got 42mpg with my TT kit.

Yeah the b15 sentra guys are doing that now, since TN made a kit for them. I got to the point where I don't even post there anymore because they make claims like "i get 35mpg on my turbo spec v according to the log!" Okay, idiot...believe it when you put in 10 gallons after 180 miles, lol.

Sorry to interrupt the interesting MPG disussion, lol, but to answer this guys question:

The install on the other hand looks like it would be a *****. from this picture it looks like you would have to remove the compressor side of the trub to install it (welded pipe on the compressor)


What is the pricing like and will they produce these for the G sedan?
Easy....just unbolt the rad support and pull it out enough to slip the turbo in. The rest of the front end will be off anyway. You can keep the radiator and AC condenser still bolted on.

As I mentioned before, it's still in the development. They installed it on two vehicles so far. G35 sedan and 350z for testing. For those of you saying this kit is a copy of several other kits... I should tell you that they don't even know Injected turbo kit exists. Although they saw my APS ST, they never saw the turbonetics kit. Why? because they don't have to. This shop is an official Gemballa Porsche tuning shop. Just the other day they were tearing down the brand new Gemballa Avalanche Porsche for turbo upgrade! They make turbo kits for many different cars.. I think this shop is going to test the water in Korean Infiniti market first..(No Nissan dealer is in Korea) We'll see what will come out of this shop... I'll keep you guys posted if there is any new development with this kit.

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..
you said yourself, you're hardly ever in the boost. I've put nitrous on my Z about a month ago....guess how many bottles I've been through....ZERO. Sprayed a couple times to make sure everything functioned....that should tell you how often I go fast. SGP has sprayed on my Z more than I have (tuning it on the dyno). My bottle is never empty. I have another one at home. I filled up the civic (when I had spray on that) about once every 3-4 months. So nitrous is right up my alley. If you're filling up every other day, then you should have turbos. But then again, you'll end up in the shop more than I will filling up my bottle. Need proof?

Not knocking turbos....god knows I loved my turbo cars....but I just couldn't justify the cost and the headache for how often I speed....which isn't very often.

Better check the weather bub....houston is humid....100% most of the time. Don't forget....I can spit in galveston bay. Most of the gulf coast is humid....I can barely go outside for 5 minutes in 70 degree weather without sweating. It gets that bad.





As for the mileage guys....I take note of exactly how many gallons it takes to fill up...put that in my log and check my trip meter. I do not use the sh*tty gauge for MPG...those things are never right. Good for ballpark, but not exact numbers. So yea, I get 28mpg going to Austin all the time. My math is right on....either that or Microsoft Excel doesn't work.

Our kit was a one off deal. There are no jigs or anything else for the kit that is available other than what is on our shop car. Kit looks very similar to ours, but we opted to fit a GT42R instead of the GT35R. GT35R is rated at 510-600 flywheel horsepower as the 42R is rated at 1200 flywheel horsepower. GT42R is physically bigger and that is the main reason you cannot run the stock radiator support.

Kit does look very nice for the initial stages. Do you know if the it runs the stock headers?

what injected is saying to get a gt42r in a kit is not so feasable to sell it as a kit...
powerlabs kit uses a gt35r/gt37r

It's so old I don't even remember what you're referring to.

I just looked back and found the reference to the gt35r that was made. I guess it depends on the sizing of the gt35r in particular, but yeah I agree it should be possible. I still want to see someone do it.
