Hey what up guys????

I guess its time for me to post some information here for you. Let first and foremost say that I'm extremely grateful for those of you who have been patiently waiting our stage 1.5 and stage 2 kits.

Unfortunately I cant share any serious details with you here on the boards. But I can tell you that the stage 2 kit is going to be one bad *** kit. Trust me I would love to share some of the exciting details but I have to keep things under wraps for just a little longer until some of the final details are finalized.

The question you might have now is when can you release details on this kit. And my answer to that question is... Please be a little more patient and stay tuned to the boards here. I promise to release the information on this kit to the my350z community first.

I'll continue to check out this thread so if you have any questions that I can answer feel free to post them and I will respond. Please remember there are some questions that I simply will not be able to answer. I hope you guys are understanding.

Reggie..... what up!!!

1. Is there a GT-K that will bolt up and fit the stock kit without any modifications?
2. Will there be any piping changes to fit a GT-K in the stage I kit?

Work it Jet

 

1. Yes and No. The only thing that will need to be done is to have your turbine hsg machined in order to take the F1 turbine wheel.

2. No, all existing piping can be used. You would just need to purchase a gt-k turbo that would be specific for the 350z stage 1 kit. I will have a part number for you next week sommetime. This turbo will have a our new compressor wheel which is better than the current 60-1 wheel and of course our new F1 turbine wheel.

Reggie,

First off thank you for repsonding to our desperate needs.

What will the usable rpm band be on the stage 2 kit? will it be able to take advantage of the "revup" engines extended rpm band?

Like Jet asked, will it bolt up to the stock piping or do you have a more robust Up-pipe in the works? I have seen a few up-pipes where the welded tabs (the ones that go to the A/C compressor) have torn off.

Thanks again,

Andrew

 

Any idea on how much power can be expected from just changing to a GT-K turbo on the stage 1 kit? Will it likely be the GT-K 550? Has a GT-K been installed and tested on a stage 1 kit?

Thanks for the answers!

JET

 

God, when I first saw this thread, I that there was going to be all the news...Very upsetting..hehe
Anyways...Thanks for the replies Reggie.
I would also like to know more about the powerband on Stage II kit. Is it going to be similar to twin turbo setups at this power range?
Will it be worth it to wait for Stage II, or just go with a greddy? Any info at all would be helpful
Also, For us that have stage 1 tuner kit with Fuel return, Injectors, UTEC, will there be an upgrade path? If so, price estimation?
Also, is there any estimated date for release on Stage II upgrades?
Thanks Reggie

 

That's a very important question that no one has been able to answer yet!!!

Will there be a "Stage 2 Tuner Upgrade Kit"

 

Reggie......how long are we looking at in terms of getting details? weeks? months?

 

Man, please dont say months!

 

Me thinks that might be all you are getting from Reggie for now. I asked him this afternoon for info and in the end he said he would post what he could. If thats all he posted thats likely all he has for right now.

 

HAHAHAHA i knew it all you people that posted about restrictive piping thats so funny. so hosed. 2" pipe is more than enough. almost enough to make me buy a tig welder now, actually i think i will order that next week since i dont pay taxes and get pell grants from college. teh guberment owes me.

 

What?

 

Im really drunk, but someone said the piping for the turbonetic stage 1 was restrictive or something. and i orderd cams, i pulled 1200$ out of my ***.
