ok guys...ive finally got most of my parts for my Turbonetics build up so far i have:

Wiseco Racing Pistons
Walbro fuel pump
Eagle Rods
Cometic Gaskets
APR studs
AMM Stage 2 fuel system
RC 550 injectors

Im just wondering if i have enough to be able to handle 500whp...i know i need more things such as a new exhaust, upgraded tranny(i have an auto ), tuning, maybe a bigger oil pan, and radiator.

Let me know if im missing anything...i want the install to go as smoothly as as fast as possible. Im gonna do everything at once sometime in November/December when i stop driving my Z.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Preston

 

ARP main studs, ARP L19 head studs, (Utec ecu if you buy the tuner kit) upgraded Clutch, I got my pistons ceramic coated just a thought though, axles stage 2, boost controler, check out this site there is everything could ever need!

Oh you should invest in an upgraded cooling system, I'm very happy with koyo

also, ive herd of heating issues...is a new radiator a must? ive also seen man people put new hoses on that can withstand a lot more pressure. Ive been reading up on many many build ups and now its finaly time to start mine!

 

look up pi-thone grip hose clamps I bought them and will use samco hoses together they will look sexy.
You can order the clamps specifically for the samco hoses.

thanks! they are sexy

 

Ouch talk about robbery from Stillen on the Pithons. http://www.zeetoyz.com/Chrome2-Ring-Kit.html

 

there is also the custom cooling mod, search on here and you will find it

 

Consider a valve body upgrade for your tranny.

Why spend $2000 on an AAM stage 2 fuel system, when the TN Stage 1 maxes out at around 500whp and the AAM stage 1 ($1000) is good to 600-630whp?

Also Id do HKS headgaskets over Cometic headgaskets, spend $100-120 more now while its all apart

HKS[ may not be needed for 500 whp..but then again 200 bucks is nothing at this stage...

as someone already said the koyo radiator + stillen oil cooler woudl be nice too link+ oil pan spacer + utec or unichip(cheaper option since you can control boost with this) =]

clutch+flywheellink0( or auto valve body upgrade link1)....

all gauges link2

..... ... with the TN kit its hard to reach 500 whp, so consider cams link3 and plenum spacer link4 ...


also what exhaust are you running... the JIC works very well with teh tn kit

 

I bet with cams and some good head work you can get a little more than 500whp out of the TN kit.. JET got about 450 with no cams..Although the power drop at 5400 suckzors

 

And thats why Stage 2 is being done I can't wait to release the info for it. Some of the stuff I have heard rumors of is going to blow some peoples minds.

 

Soooo... your telling us there are rumors but you refuse to say what they are?

NICE !!!!!! I thought you were one of us !!!!!

What is the market price of a Greddy TT with intercooler go for? I heard the Garrett oil seals last more than 150mi. Is that true Alberto?

There is rebellion brewing among our ranks!!! Turbonetics mutiny I smell?

06 Rev up oil pump
New water pump (might as well do it while your in there)
Nissan engine rebuild gasket set
Headers (Alphawerks)
Possibly a new wastegate (you may have issues)
HKS head gaskets
SVRT head support mod
SVRT solid engine mounts
UR pulley set
Remove thermostat
Deatschwerks 550 injectors

And you still will not get near 500whp. I have all of the above. I have 460whp and my engine stops making power at 5400 RPM

If you want an honest 500whp you will need the GT-K turbo (if one ever actually ends up a customers hands. Extreme Patience seems to be a virtue here concerning this subject.)

Don't bother with cams and head work. You should be able make 500whp with the elusive GT-K turbo and other mystery mods.)

you'll find the Greddy kit for around 6200 with the intercooler....

Just take it easy Jet, you will be able to get things going here soon... GTK out for sale next week, and stage 2 details out next week as welll per Robert... twins are nice but they are not the pure solution to your problem, plus you might end up spending a hell of a lot more.
AS you might have already looked at the piping but if you have also looked at the piping in custom single turbo kits out there, there are a few pipes that need to be bigger, and others to go in a better direction for better flow.

 

I was just kidding. I am a nut buster!

JET

 

lol i thought you were about to drop a "bomb" there for a minute

 

I am one of you but until I get word that is final from the R&D guys there not really any reason to post stuff. I wish I had the info (final info that is) but I don't run the R&D team at Turbonetics. As for the Greddy kit I'm sure you'll find that they use conventional sleeve bearings there are by no means a Garrett cartridge.

 

ok i just ordered a stillen radiator and a Power Enterprise oil pan...now im looking into the valve body upgrade.

After seeing that the TN kit wont make the power i want, ive decided to go with twins so im gonna be selling my kit and going with a greddy twin turbo.

(anyone want a TN turbo kit?)
