Default Amazing swap and turbo set up

So its been brought up in a few threads so I thought I would scan the article and post it up. This is an S14 owned by Johnny **** at Turbonetics with a VQ35DE swap and of course Turbonetics turbo setup... Its currently running a 60-1 compressor and F1 Stage V turbine. AEM EMS is being used for tuning and SFR provided a modified version of their 350Z intake manifold for this... Enjoy..

Ya, I have that issue. Car looks great.

Although I don't remember it saying if it had a built engine or not, but can that car really make 650whp on 'high boost'? It using a bigger turbo than the standard ST kit, correct?

It's currently running a stock motor I believe. There's another motor being built now to drop in for the 650 HP run... They needed to get the AEM EMS running right on it before they were even going to think of going for 650 WHP. It will be running a GT-K 650 in the very near future...

MIA, you know i checked out that issue when i saw it, thats the one i asked you about a while back when you made a reference to another 240. that one is probably one of the best looking/setup 240s ive seen, besides one i saw with an rb26.

i know of another VQ powered S14 running a twin 60-1 setup, all custom headers, turbos are mounted in front near the headlights, custom intake manifold that looks great, i might add, running stock bottom end for now, but probably not for long.

Not necessarily... it doesn't hurt to test the set up on two cars...

Congrats to mista ****! Yeah, I saw the car at SEMA and it's definitely what I'd consider "sick".
