Sorry for the OT, btw.

Polished upper plenum, Greddy Tower Strut bar, Carbon fiber engine cover, Greddy oil filler and radiator caps, and they are fixing a few things for me as well. They ran diagnostics on it all day and found that it wasn't getting fuel and the boost solenoid was installed incorrectly.
Sorry for the OT, btw.

I'm sure the additional checking will be worth it in the end.

If you want to run more then 420hp do you have to go with a built engine or can you just replace the internals like cams, rods, etc? How much Hp can the stock block hold if you replace the internals?

A) I personally don't know that much about the kit. So if someone would care to PM me the information I'll learn something new.
B) You will notice there are a few other kits that are not listed as well (SP TT, SFR TT, etc).
C) This list wasn't to inform people of every product out there. This was just to give noobs some base information on Forced Induction. Which kit they go with is up to them.

ok, thats fair enough. Now that i look back, i do see that you didn't list some of the other kits so I appologize for my comments. This thread is awesome, just want to see all the options listed.... I'll try to get some infor together to contribute.

To help you a little with the STS Kit it comes as a Tuner or they offer all of the components for it so you have some options. For now it is only a single. The complete Kit comes with Turbo Xs Utec, 440cc Injectors, Front mount Air to Air Intercooler, TiAL Blow Off Valve and External Wastegate, Garrett/STS Journal style and Ball Bearing Turbos. I know they have Guys making over 400 rwhp on stock motors @ under 9 psi and Guys on built motors over 600whp so far with upgraded Turbo and Intercooler. It is one of the best priced kits out there for the components and power you get. some of the downsides are that it is new and different enough that people don't think it works and are skeptical about the turbos location because it so new to the import scene. Hopefully this helps. I have been looking into this Kit a lot because these Guys are about an hour and a half away from me and I have been doing my research on them.

Well folks, due to the new owners of this forum I/we can no longer update old posts after a certain period of time. I had the S/C info finally put together, but I can not update it. Sorry everyone. I hope the information that is posted can help. Thanks for supporting this thread everyone!

Oreally? That's... lame. So, something that has a natural evolution (like aftermarket car parts for a certain platform...) cannot be updated? Progress! I suppose, with that way of thinking, whoever has the quickest/fastest VQ35de 6MT 350z today will also have it in say 2020?

Back on topic...Intense and Pro-EFI are working hard to get my car ready for the 28th. I'll let you know how the Greddy TT, SGP longblock, SGP racing tranny, and Pro-EFI do next week (hopefully )!
