APS published power VS Actual dyno # in USA
Hi,
I am going to be installing an APS tt kit on my 350Z within the next week.
I was just wondering howcome APS have dyno tested the kit at 378 Rwhp at about 8psi but the numbers that the owners in the USA are getting is closer to +420 Rwhp (should this be flywheel power).
The local agent here in South Africa have done a few and they also generally dyno at about 320kw flywheel ( +-6000 Ft above sea level).
can I hope to get 400+ Rwhp from the kit ( will be installing a cooling mist WI kit as well with the tall boy plenum and the 3.5" down pipes and 3" exhaust).
350 Z have a hard time here and generally trap at about 15.2qm with exit speed of about 165kph and a 1km exit speed of 202.

400+ rwhp is more than do-able with the APS kit. Find the right shop to tune it though... Also, you may want to look into an alternative for the internal wg's that they use. The extreme kit seals the flange and diverts to external wg's. Forged Performance also sells actuator springs that help with boost fluctuation. It takes some "tweaking," but the APS kits are very stout out of the box.
Good luck.

APS recommends boosted VQ owners with stock block to stay below 380whp, thats why you see this number on thier website. 440+whp is very doable with the TT kit. for me I wouldnt go anything higher than 420whp / 9 psi on stock block.
make sure to tell your tuner to scale down your boost pressure coz with this exhaust setup you'll be overboosting to 11 psi, mine reached 11.5. and keep your stock rev limiter, dont raise it.

Thanks for the reply's
will keep you guys psoted with the numbers and pics in the next 2 weeks or so.
@ maximum Z- your videos are partly the reason why I went with this set up.
with the use of the water injection we should be able to advance timing at the 9psi boost setting for some decent numbers.

So no cams so far with all of your videos? Just straight APS TT and that's it?
I'm not comparing your numbers with mine since my was tuned conservatively - both psi wise and everything else (and running very very not lean).
