it's beautiful!

 

shame to see the ST kit's ordering has slowed down, I for one would have snapped that TT kit if it had been ready for when I wanted my TT. Looking back cost wise I should have held off and waited for you to sell the finished product (whenver that'll be) but at least I can drive a decently powered Z now Well done on the progress. I know a few people in the UK looking at the ST kit so maybe they'd be interested in a TT. This recession is annoying to say the least! Keep her lit!

 

Yeah, what can you do. The way I look at it is that I am not having to sit on inventory, pay staff, pay rent for shop space..ect. This is the same reason I am able to price my kits that much lower, retaining great quality.

As far as the TT kit goes, I do't know if I will even get back to it. At the moment I am working on the 76mm kit, and that will be more than anybody will ever need (I think). Once that is out of the way, I will focus on a possible bulk buy for 5 ST kits with the 62mm and 67mm turbo options.

 

Wow no TT Shame but you're probably correct in increasing the ST, 76mm

If you could draft one of the Z tuners in the UK I'd say you'd be able to swing 5 kits easy. Could I run a APS TT with a 76mm in parallel

Hope you do ok mate, the work you do is proper.

Maybe when I'm tired of the APS I'll swap it all out for a BP kit

 

If you guys didn't drive on the wrong side of the road, it would be easy

The started and steerking knuckle is the problem, and there is no way I can build something to fit, by guessing where things are on a RHD car. Everything is just so tight with this platform.

 

true that, wouldn't mind driving on the right again *used to it.

Maybe just send one kit over and let a tuning place adapt it? Would probably be a few interested in that...

 

2" flex pipe all the way to the front. modifiable kit

 

Hey Boosted, just wanted to ask you something about the twin vs single mid mounted turbo. I would expect the single turbo setup to be lighter than the twin, is this correct or does all the extra wrap around piping make up the difference and the two end up weighing the same. Second can one use a dual exhaust with your single turbo setup, ie. hks dual or invidia dual, etc. Thx

 

Because the two turbos (in a twin configuration) are smaller, the total weight of the two kits would be comparable. I think the twin kit would be a bit heavier, maybe 10-15lbs at most.

As far as the single kit goes, it is built to utilize any exhaust system that can be bolted up to the OEM Y-pipe. There are a number of exhaust systems out there like this, from single to dual where they split after the Y-pipe.

I have been looking at building an exhaust system to work with this kit out of aluminum. There are a number of plaes now that make aluminum mufflers, and the entire system would wigh about 20lbs. I have seen this on a couple of cars now, and it seems to work great.

I had a borla true dual on mine. I had to make a custom y adapter to make it work. The borla was way too restrictive past 500hp though so I removed it. i still have the borla exhaust if you want it for cheap.

 

Cool, I'll prob end up doing the same with a custom y pipe. I have an invidia true dual that I love the sound of.

 

just know that anythign that is not a straight through type muffler will not be very nice with making horsepower past upper 400 range.

 

I actually found what you said about your true dual surprising. I would have expected all that extra cross sectional area from the second pipe to provide plenty of flow capacity on your borla dual. Didn't realize that the borla mufflers are so restrictive. I really don't know how good/bad the mufflers on the invidia dual are with FI...I guess ill find out in a couple of months

 

The Invidia is fine. I made a custom down pipe for a local customer to work with the BP kit. Here is a thread/build:

Quick pic of the down pipe:

 

thats nice man , I love your fab work,

 

Wow, that looks absolutely excellent , good job

 

Cross sectional area is fine. It's a problem with the muffler. The muffler is a baffled muffler not straight through design. So you could run 5" duals to that muffler and it would still restrict.

2 weeks after dynoing 540hp i changed the exhaust out to a modified exhaust with a SP cutout and i dynoed at 652hp at the same boost pressure. I only stopped there because the clutch slipped.

Also, my 8psi spring always ran around 11psi on spring pressure. It wouldn't ever go down to 8psi. I thought it was strange and a backpressure problem at the wastegate. After i changed the borla exhaust the 8psi spring was exactly 8psi on the money. So backpressure had to be high.

 

Thanks, and really any exhaust shop should be able to do this rather quickly. Once you cut the X pipe right in the middle, all you have to do i put the 3" down pipe in a vice and squeeze it a bit. After that it is a perfect fit, and all you have to do is weld it up.

 

Following... Again Sasha keep up the good work!

 

This project never really went anywhere, although I would be able to make this system as a custom "one-of".
