there dyno is one that you take the wheels off and it dosnt put out numbers it was weird.. im sure subzero and i will be hitting a load based dyno around here soon.. i need to check my a/f under WOT after i install my new fuel pump...

most of the tuning sts did was on the street.....

 

..................

 

The only dyno I'm aware of in which the wheels are removed and the hubs get bolted to the dyno is a Dynapack and I'll bet pennies to Franklins it does put out numbers. In fact heres MY dyno sheet from a Dynpack dyno.. http://turboneticsownersclub.com/turbos/350zdyno.pdf Everything that has been posted about this so far has been "weird"

 

I dunno about everyone else but the Z is an enigma to the rednecks(being a redneck myself I can say that) down here in rural Texas. Taking my car to get worked on even at the Nissan dealership is like something out of King of the Hill. I ask about Nismo parts and I get a blank look like "it ain't no mustang/GTO/Transam/corvett so what the hell would you want ta make it go faster for?" I fully expect the same reaction when I go into the nearest STS dealer and ask about the kit.

My question is this: will we be left waiting for the MRC, GRD, SGP, Jotechs of the world to pick up an STS dealership or will we need to start planning on installing these kits on our own and having the tuner shops tune the UTEC alone? I am hardly afraid of installing a turbo kit on my own but warranty work would be a batch as would any trouble shooting.

 

ill try to post the videos from our freeway pulls on the way down to wendover im running the aps tt setup and he kept up nice..

have to wait till i get off work tho.

 

honestly if you can put on a exhaust you can install this kit in about a hour and a half....

its got to be the easiest install of a turbo kit i have ever seen

 

i like your honesty with the redneck thing lol

if you are afraid ahd have som concerns, then go with an already proven kit.

 

Wow, lots of buzz going on over here over the STS 350Z system. Any time you try to get infomation early - you always get leaked bits and pieces which is always frustrating so sorry about that. We are excited about this new system and bringing a another great turbo system onto the market. Marketing is working on putting together all the info on the new Z kit and will have that up on our website soon along with pics, video, dyno graphs, pricing, etc. We'll get back out here and let you know as soon as we have final numbers, pricing and specs. For now, the installation is clean and easy; power is responsive, smooth and predictable; hp per psi boost is very good and the sound is absolutely incredible.

I wondered how long it would be until they showed their face on here with all the bashing going on.

I'm skeptical, as everyone is, of the remote mount turbo. But to address some of hte concerns mentioned earlier, they have been nothing but responsive with any questions i have had for them, even going out of their way to call me up anytime there is an update on their website. The dyno will speak for itself, and at that point, all our questions will be answered. What else really needs to be said.

 

Chuck Norris.....

 

how much is this kit supposed 2 cost?

 

I talked to them this morning and they said 3995 without the intercooler... he said he couldn't tell me if that was with the utec and injectors or not

so whatever that means.

 

I believe not, it was most likely the price of the BASE kit..Tuner kit basically..

 

oh and i just wanted to let you know this kit sounds pissed off! i have never heard a turbo wind like that before sounds like a damn jet plane.. its only under throttle tho. at idle it sounds stock. honestly the power per psi is pretty awesome. for people looking for a great kit tat is easy to maintian and install this is def a nice option.

no joke

 

That remains to be seen. It might be easy to swap oil lines every time they get ripped off, or replace wastegates and turbos everytime they get destroyed by road debris but that doesn't make it easy to maintain as your statement implies cheap as well.

 

dude miaplaya aka turbonetics worker! quit hating on the new kit. if the turbonetics kit is the superior single turbo then you have nothing to worry about. right?

i took a look at the whole set up and its pretty nice.. if you dont plan on going ralley racing then i highly doubt you will mess anything up....

as for the power its there! i know first hand.

i myself own the APS tt and i am an outsider as far as the kit. ive seen all of the turbo setups out there and honestly its a pretty nice kit and has great power potential...


all im trying to do is differ all the hating and crap going on.. lets just wait for sts to put out all the info .. im pretty sure alot of you will be happy with the product.

 

Couldn't agree more. So stop hyping this kit every hour on the hour when you (a) don't own it (b) don't work for them (c) have zero data to back up claims. I'm not the only one doubting this kit. Your fellow APS owners are too. If you haven't figured it out yet this board doesn't accept much without data to back it up. A guesstimated 115-120+ trap with a guesstimated 400 WHP and your approximation of how well he can keep up with your car are pointless and just throws everyone into a frenzy. I'm not hating, I'm asking you to stop posting mis-information about something you obviously have no true data about. Unless you designed the kit and/or have some superior knowledge of turbocharger and turbo systems your claims about it are pointless for the reasons mentioned above. The hatred FROM EVERYONE including the Greddy, APS, Turbonetics, and every other kit owners on this thread will stop when we get hard facts and not half @ss opinions.

 

I still dont see why everyone is so doubtful

 

Because everyone who pays someone to install a generic turbo kit is now a turbo expert...
