APS Extreme Twin Turbo.

Look at that, I have one for sale. If Paypal is ready, let me know and we can work something out.

Otherwise good luck building your drag car.

You got more pics of the car bro? Possibly larger pictures? I really like Black Z's.
What year is your car? And Mileage?

Sorry I am just always curious for these things

Moved to the proper forum...

... where you really need to lurk and read for a few month before even considering going turbo and what one you would buy.

BTW - asking which turbo you should buy is like asking who should you vote for president. Everybody has their opinion and no one person is 100% right.

Feedback is here. The issue is when people blow they usually either move on to another platform or are silenced so finding true and proven setups like other platforms will be hard. There is alot of money to be made on parts and kits for Z's so be careful, you have to search for yourself to see what people have and check post dates to current members etc.... The info is here on MY350Z for all to see and read!

Welcome to the F/I forum... I will be your guide. Please take notice of the F/I for noobs thread near the top of your screen, take the time and read that as well as watching the Noobs Must Watch video... much good info in both. Please keep your flame suit handy and as always keep all hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.

There is a wealth of knowledge here and some seriously fast cars. Take the time to do a bit of reading and research, then feel free to ask questions and the regulars will be happy to share advice.

This car is for sale:

It is VERY fast... it runs in the 9's.

There are SEVERAL competent shops and vendors that can offer you a nice single turbo option. Good Luck and welcome to the dark side

Its not my car... it belongs to Hal@Dynosty, PM him for a price. Look at the thread Binder has up, he has a big single too. Like I said... do lots of reading a research and start with the stickies.

Big single turbo here.. ill get back to you on power soon haha.

If i had a dollar every time i said that this year.. fuh.


READ the existing threads, as no one will really take all that info and re write in this one for ya.. just sayin.

If you want a car w 400 whp w a stock block, just make sure when you start into the FI world that the Z is not your only car.

BUILD DELAYS ( ahem) and other things will offer the possibility for it to be sidelined and waiting for work is CERTAINLY there. Take the price of the kit you find and like, multiply it by three and thats your initial investment.

Then take 10-15% a year for maintenace and tune, repairs etc.

WELCOME TO VQ FI... not for the fain t of heart.
Hence the LS swap crowd. Cheaper parts.

+like a 1000 %BOOSTED PERFORMANCE is the easiest by far to install..The least intrusive and proven easy to upgrade....

Soon u will see the true potential of a BP kit that was upgraded and the guy started out jus like u basically!!!

Talk to Hal@Dynosty for engine packages and tuning options!!! Tell him Ray sent u, he's sure to hook u up

Do work then Keith... I usually leave these open for 24hrs for the regulars to check in. I'm not saying be a jacka$$... I'm just saying we ALL went through the same process to be accepted into the F/I forum.

I see my role as welcoming the noobs and letting them know what the proper protocol is... this IS Sparta, if you can't hold your own... we won't hold it for you

Noobs with valid questions or that want to learn are quickly separated from the youtube dreamers that will have F/I after they get their first man hair. I think back to those that were doubted and then showed they were for real and are now respected... Sasha comes to mind.

This. Can't bold on phone, but 2nd to last sentence is the reason why I didn't post a thing about my Z until after it was boosted and won't mention any exterior mods anymore until they are all in my house and going on the car haha. Which happens to be more recently, this weekend will be like christmas : )
