Default Powerlab Turbo Kit / ProEFI Tunned

Alright so i just got my POWERLAB Turbo Kit installed in my car. I have a 03 Base 350z with the Stock bottom end.

Engine Mods:

- Powerlab GT35R Single Turbo Kit

- PROEFI ECU 48 Pin

- JIC 3" Exhaust

- Powerlab Spacer Kit

- Powerlab Vacuum Block

- Tial Blow Off Valve & Wastegate

- AEM Wide Band & Tru Boost Gauge

- Sparco Hose's

**All the exhaust piping and the exhaust side of the turbo have been jet-hot coated including the JIC Exhaust system.**

***Upgrade coming soon***
Can Gage - 52mm

This car feels like a stock turbo car and it only on .3 bar. This is my daily drive so I can’t afford to have it break down on me, so Jason left my boost at .3 bar.

4PSI - 360whp/ 333TQ
Dyno Sheet will be up a little later

Thanks to the guys at Intense Motorsports, Jason at PROEFI, PowerLab, and Debi at Jet-Hot(azplant@jet-hot.com)

very nice, i appreciate the conservative boost. my only issue is the 333TQ, bad luck. i was planning on going twin turbo but i think that is over kill for my intended purpose... DD. cheers.

it's FAST and i haven't even redlined any of my gears. I've been shifting around 4500 and 5500. still trying to break it in. Think about going to Firebird raceway this Friday.

I bet your excited. So I have a question, for single turbos you pretty much stay out of boost if your shifting under 3200 rpms?

Congrats! I've seen your car at Intense quite a few times. It's look very clean. Let me know when you are going to Firebird. Even if mine isn't done, I may take it with low boost with you. If not, I'll take some video for you.

Any feedback you can give us all on the Pro-EFI? Maybe after driving it for a few more days, you could give some feedback on this thread:

You are like 1 block from my office. I'd love to see your ride now that it's done. i only really saw it from a distance, and never got a good look.

Shar has been able to keep the exterior stock... all the way down to the wheels and tires. I'm trying to get him to lower it and at least put some wheels on. His car truely is a sleeper from apperance.
