the 8 questions game!
The goal is to get a no name single turbo kit that I found on the internet (very cheap) and get some power out of it at 8,5 psi. Im willing to go ahead and test this option because:
1. Its cheap
2. Looks an easy project
3. I thing the worst case scenario (having 8,5 psi as max pressure) is to get ridiculous results out if this kit
4. After done that it will be fairly easy to install a proper kit
5. Ive already spoken with 8 people that have installed this no name turbo and have no problem so far (not on a 350z yet though)
6. If I succeed it will be great news for every 350z owner!!!
7. Its cheap!!!
Questions:
1. Is additional fuel management controller needed . (I will use an exhaust gas oxygen sensors for monitoring oxygen content of exhaust gases ,what’s its name?)
2. Where can I find an additional ECU for this application?
3. If don’t use one what’s the safest psi that can I go up to?
4. What’s the worst case scenario.
5. What is the size of the turbine that I need (max torque @ 3,5 to 4 rpm)
6. What other necessary sensors do I have to install to avoid as much trouble as possible?
7. Any other obvious point that I haven’t considered
8. Im I crazy???
If somebody is willing to answer only the 8th question please don’t cause I know his answer already.
And please don’t get into conversations like “you get what you played for” cause China proved this saying wrong many times the past 5 years, at least to me.
Thanks

i think its a great idea. i give u props for trying something most will not due. Turn that **** up to 9psi. make sure u do a DIY install thread and get a dyno sheet to show everyone how this kit will be a beast on the street. How much power those 8 people u spoke too get out of it.. Good luck...

^+1 but here we go....
1. i think that your looking for a wideband O2 sensor. several kits use the stock injectors for FI (Vortech) but they also use an additional computer to monitor and add fuel as needed.
2. do more homework there are lots...
3. ??????
4. catostrophic engine failure and the self distruction of the known universe
5. more homework agian but a quick search of the interwebs gives a ton of results http://www.squirrelpf.com/turbocalc/index.php
6. boost gauge would be a good start... in addition to the exhaust gas oxygen sensors that you will be installing.
7. just doing it right the first time and save your pennies for a name brand kit

The 8 that you've interacted with, how did you find them? They wouldn't happen to be people who have provided glowing reviews of this kit, on ebay, and probably have no other transactions other than buying and giving the feedback?
Have you seen these cars, that have this kit, in person?
Have you seen these cars, that have this kit, in person?
there was a thread a couple years back about a a guy that made customsingle kits using chinese turbos/wastegates/BOV and made over 450whp on the stock block.
I little prep work on the turbo such as cleaning casting flaws/etc and there's no reason why the OP cant make it work.

Nobody tried on a 350z, all they were replacement turbos for stock cars but nobody mentioned any broblems with performance or reliability , yet is too late because nobody have used the kit for more than 6 months
