i'm just trying to make sure like Synth and Sentry you have thought this over fully that you will be absolutely satsified at that power level.. i've been here for a while and i have seen people post that htey wish they had went twins first.. i am just trying to help you out to make sure you won't make that mistake..

my comments are all in your best interest.. they aren't to say i have a twin and you have a single.. you should have never took them personal

 

yeah, some guys are even happy with their V8's, V10's, V12's, W16's, or even I4's

 

I think your taking it to personal. He has no issue with you running a single. He feels that he has been there and done that or knows people who did the same thing you are about to sink 4G's in to only to not like it after a yr. 4G's is a lot of cash imo and to know a yr later you will want more power cuz you got beat by WRX just wont do it for you. Don't take offense to it.

 

I don't take offense to what anyone says, especially off a forum. I do appreciate the words of advice/wisdom, but I think I'll be more than satisfied with a single.

 

I disagree as well. If your motor blows you will build a forged motor and then what. You will bolt the single turbo onto the built motor? I've been there and done that as well as alot of others here, and all of us went to twin turbo's.

Just off the top of my head I can name three people who went from Turbonetics to Greddy. Myself, Quadcam, and Alberto. Quadcam didn't even blow his motor and he switched.

There is a better than good chance you will blow your motor.

Do the Greddy from the begining no matter how much power you want. It's a better kit.

A few extra thousand is really just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of what you're probably gonna spend on your car. Just do it right the first time. Thats what I did, and I don't regret it at all.

 

I know were you are coming form but this forum has been very slow to accept Nitrous. If I get to that point and I build my motor then I'll definitely max my ST to its potential and hit the bottle when I want to have fun. I pretty much know in advance if I'm in the mood to break the law (Just Traffic Law ), then I can just open my bottle and use that. Yes, having a 500whp is awesome but I can live with my 440-450whp on my daily driving and know that I still have something if want to push my car. I can't even find enough space to run my 360whp yet alone a 500whp on the street. Just my .02

 

Which single turbo are you considering?

i did the bottle route.. i got sick of filling my bottle every weekend for 5 to 10 seconds of fun? no thank you.. back then a bottle fill was $36.. don't even know what it is now..

what would be worse is if you didn't get a clean run and you wasted your spray

 

athenG has the STS Kit

Thanks, but where did I ever say F-Con wasn't a "smoother" unit. I actually was agreeing w/ you in the previous post. See where I said I agree? Honestly, that wasn't even part of the discussion. But guess what? There may be actually better EMS systems than the oh so godly F-Con. That could be even "smoother"? Maybe....We were (or atleast I was) talking about a totally other subject, I think you're just so focused on fanning your F-Con that you completely missed it. So I guess nevermind. Back on topic.

Edit: And no its not Alberto. Actually, Im still waiting for a ride in his car.

 

um ok.. some left field comments there .. but ok

 

Wow... Carlos Mencia would have a field day with you.

All the threads you have started, including this one, are rehashing several "Z specific" topics that have been discussed and debated many times over in other threads. That is why you have been advised to use the search function. A thread was started in the Premier Section proposing that you should be banned. Now I understand why.

 

single for my need.

 

When a forum such as my350z.com is 4yrs+ in age everything besides the new HR motor has been rehashed probably 8 million times dont doub that. If everyone on here has such a hard on for the search function I would suggest as I havee done on other forums is to lock out specfic types. Such as anything relating this yr and motor can not be asked or posted. Which for the 350z leaves just the HR. If you want ban me but I have NOT disobeyed any rules set forth on here. I post questions only to be bashed upon. So far this thread actually has helped some people looking and wondering why to pick a single over a dual. Maybe the search funtion from phpbb needs to be revised so searching is more robust. Or maybe people posted things in the wrong catorgory who knows? But bash away at this post I dont care to be honest. Go over to superhonda.com and look at the civic area and see how much stuff has been posted over and over again. That forum is way older then this one and people at least are considerate to members asking a question other then say search.

 

lol i think some people get off on flaming!!!!! lol flame suit on!!

 

If this were a ***** size contest you could just call us Peter North or Ron Jeremy..

 

New single turbo from powerlab from what it looks like on the beta and pre production testing will give a greddy a run for its money, from a stock block to a fully built/sleeved engine.its the intense/powerlab single turbo kit, look it up on the f.i sectiong... 906whp.
so there isnt going to be a need of having a TT kit... i like to be a bit different, so im saving some cash for this powerlab kit after it comes out.. unlike most of the built guys here running 500+whp i will be running in the 380hp/tq untill i can save up for a nice sleeved block. i plan to have this done by 2009/10.

 

Twin turbo still beats all. The Turbo's are mounted on the exhaust manifolds. No power lost from the exhaust gasses. Single turbo's are remote mounted and run 5' or so of snaking piping to get the exhaust gas to the turbine. Lots of potential power loss there. Singles on inline 6 motors is a good deal but on a V6 it is not.
