I don't think many have bothered to upgrade the UP pipe on the hot side. If you look at how it is designed you would realize that it is probably a bigger issue than the downpipe. On the kit, it has two 2" crossover pipes merging into a single 2" pipe. We took this into consideration on my build and hopefully it will show when we finally get results.

As far as the particular car you're talking about... it wasn't a simple bottleneck. The car actually made less power than a stock turbonetics kit on a stock car. There was something else wrong with that whole picture.

 

Hmmmm. Not sure what was up with that build. I know that they worked on it for a while and last I heard were at a stand still... Hopefully it gets resolved.

Anyway, I'm still eager to see what happens with your car. I know that you and JT took a lot of time and consideration when planning out the build - but that unforeseen issues have come up. It seems that between delays on the release for my project, and hiccups on yours - we're going to be into the late fall/winter months before we can talk about accessible ST setups making big power. Although I do know of another project/build in progress that looks promising Different setup, but still ST.

 

what ever happened to the tn stage 2+ kits??

 

^ that was the biggest joke of a upgrade i have ever hear... its been almost 2 years of "trials"... they didn't do chit.

Take the cosworth plenum+ all of these big projects that have taken several months and they dont even equal the time that the TN stage 2 upgrade has consumed

 

And of course you know all this because you work at Turbonetics...

 

there were rumors of a 1.5 kit i believe and a stage 2 upgrade. i was curious where they stood, but never showed up. kinda a bummer. miaplaya, i know your very knowledgable on tn kits, so if you have any input, id be very appreciative as well

 

Thank god I dont! No company has prolonged development or release of a product for 2+ years on this board. But since your there resident "promoter" I guess you know everything

 

guys, lets not turn this thread into another useless argument. get your panties out of a twist. im asking for help here, and so far you guys have been great. im just rtying to get all the info before i make any choices. d350z10, taurran, and everybody else, youve given me nothing but useful advice, many thanks. adn keep it coming

 

Sorry to barge in but I forgot if I am going to have to upgrade my WG also. I am trying to also hit 500whp. I have everything on my sig already done. I am currently getting fcon, cjm fuel, and hks evc, water cooled turbo, and wanted to know if I should upgrade the wg also.

 

No offsense, but you asking the "beaten like a dead horse" question of "where's stage two?" is just asking for an ensuing argument. If you really want to hear all sides of that, try searching.

 

just seeing if anybody knows any more details than i do. i mean no harm

 

i say sleeve it with darton sleeves that is what i am doing...with eagle rods and je pistons...my tuner said i didnt have to but if you know you are gonna punch it alot of times be cause i know i will...its better to have it...plus if you want more horsepower then just buy a bigger turbo ...at this time you dont have to open your engine up again and put sleeves...because its already done...might as well do it....safer for you and less headache later on...if you have the money do it..if not save...less than $1500 more....do it dude....hit me up bro if your in socal ...near long beach .....my very good friend id doing my g35 coupe....ima use the garrett gt35...tial bov tial wastegate....

gl on the project!!

 

thanks, but i dont think its just a simple slap on a bigger turbo for more power.

 

Right. It's not. Fitting a big turbo is the first problem. There's not much room in there...
