was wondering...
seeing as how there seem to be a ton of ppl having issues with the TN kit i was wondering this...
is there any way a TN kit would still be bad to use IF you had a built bottom end or will it still cause heat soak issues regardless and blow ur shyt.
thanks in advance

dude I had great luck with the TN kit... 80k plus miles on the kit on my old 2003 350z and never had 1 issue with it. I used the flash for about 50k miles and then changed to utec after that just to experiment more with dyno numbers. i never blew anything up... Its all luck man with FI. Sometimes with the best tune, theres always the "if"

Winner!!! This is the best reason not to go that route. The TN kit has high AITs, but with the right tune you can drive for a long time on the stock block. TN kits are great for what they are, cheap F/I with limitations, but still much more fun than stock. OP, if you are concerned with slow cooking your motor you could always just add some meth or water injection just for cooling and not HP.
Ya, if you are going to built the motor, why stay with TN. You're limited to power and as you boost more, the more dangerous it gets. I had TN and ran into a million and one problems. SOld that ******** last year and this monday, im pulling my motor to install my greddy twins. OH DAMN I CANT WAIT.

Like its been said, the TN kit out of the box is perfectly fine. People just wanna push it further than it was designed for.
You can keep your AIT's lower by heat wrapping everything and even adding water injection. There;s no reason you cant get a long life outta that kit. You just have to know when to stop turning up that boost controller. And thats a huge problem for most people.

One thing I don't understand is how many people recomed power lab kits over the TN kit. Just looking at the two, they are very simmilar yet TN has this "heat soak" issue. Wouldn't the powerlab have even more problems then? It has a ton of IC piping under the hood, and of all places, most of it is right in front of the radiator.
I don't know the two kits very well, I am just looking at the logic as they are esentially in the same location.

<p><p>^^ Thus why you don't understand. The differences and advantages of the PowerLab kit over the Turbonetics kit have been explained in several threads. The proof is also well documented in the performance of the PowerLab installs thus far, including some on those who had the Turbonetics kit on their car prior.</p></p>
