JSC Speed 350Z Twin Turbo Install
We began our twin turbo install a week or so back on our 05 touring and have made a lot of progress. We chose the APS Tuner kit and have not been disappointed, the kit is incredibly complete and everything fits great.
The goal for the car for now will be a mid 300whp street car with lower boost levels and a conserative tune. We will be using Deatschwerks 600cc injectors so we will have plenty of fuel for more power in the near future. We also have a built motor almost finished, but have decided to hold out and see what kind of numbers we can make on the stock motor first.
Here is the basic mod list for the car, progress will be updated constantly so keep checking back!!
APS TT Tuner kit w/ external gates (swapped to 4psi springs)
Turbo XS UTEC w/ speed density -- map sensor & boost control solenoid
AEM UEGO wideband
Turbo XS tuner wideband (AEM piped in too)
Altered Atmosphere fuel return line system
Deatschwerks 600cc injectors
Walbro 255lph pump
Defi Link Display- Oil temp, EGT, Oil Pressure, H20 Temp
Defi Link 52mm boost
Koyo rad

that intercooler is bigger than my pillow. nice going. I'm surprise to see the reinforcement bar (for the bumper) will fit. what's biggest difference in going with an external wastegate? just a powerband consistency? is it a lot of work to have an internal swapped to an external?

Thanks for the comments, the external wastegates provide better boost control and do not allow for as much boost creep like an internal wastegate would have. This was very important to us because we are trying to keep this stock motor intact and want to keep the boost levels controlled.
Converting a internal wastegated turbo to an external requires welding the flapper door on the exhaust outlet of the turbo shut. You then need to either change the exhaust manifold or use an adaptor for the external wastegate depending on application.

We have it running, but are fixing a few issues we ran into and then the car has to be tuned. We will be at the SEMA show all week, so once we get back we will have some real updates with pictures.

Just be careful w/ the routing of the oil drains and make sure you have enough clearance when you grind the steering shaft. You will need a round-top bolt to replace the OEM steering shaft bolt, I believe it's 8mm x 1.25 35mm long.

As an update (chart to follow) the Z made 318whp on a dynojet @ 4psi, we started here as a baseline to work out any kinks, will be dynoing again shortly with more boost. Car has about 1000 miles on it now post-turbo.
