Suggestions from experienced FI'ers
So I have been on the fence for long enough now and have decided to start small and see where it goes. Only issue is I am having trouble deciding on the Best TT kit for what I am looking for.
Looking for 350-400hp minimum to start. Kits in mind... Greddy tt kit(non tuner) JWT TT kit I am in Canada and there is not much as far as tuner action in the city I am in so I was hoping to get some insight. I currently have Stock motor (DE) with EVO2 trul dual exhast. Other parts I am looking at.. • Profec E01 Boost Controller • 1 Step Colder Copper Spark Plugs • WB Sensor • (2) E01 External Hanesses • E-Manage Pressure Sensor Harness • Crawford Plenum • Crawford Strut Bar • Walbro 255 • Aeromotive 1:1 FPR • Fuel Return Lines • Turbonetics Waste Gate Gaskets • JWT Clutch • JWT Flywheel • JWT Oil Pan Spacer • E-Manage Timing Harness and rectifier diodes • Greddy Type S BOV These are items I saw that another member suggested but would like feedback on what is nesc. and what is not required or really needed. Thanks In advance guys. |
Why not single turbo ?? Boosted performance is in Canada and he makes a very good single turbo kit. His work is superb. If you get the 6265 turbo kit you will spool a little slower than a twin turbo kit and make good power. Also it will be much cheaper to buy it and install it since you don't have to pull out the engine.
As far as the extra parts, I would go with utec over the e-manage , you can find one cheap in the marketplace, you can get the utec boost controller $100. You won't need no wastegate gaskets or type s BOV if you go with the BP kit. Also for 350-400 whp you don't need a fuel return or FPR, |
agreed, id stay away from utec as its discontinued and transitioning btween its cycles is rough for some ppl..its kind of a WOT, on or off system.. go Osiris.
BP is a great way to start, and he is a very active forum member and will happily talk to you about what you need if you PM him or look for HIS thread. do that, and read all the FI stickies please. |
The people have spoken...:thumbup:

Thanks for the responses guys..pm sent to BP.

You lost me at Emanage

I would recommend now worrying about the crawford plenum either. For your current goals just put that money else where.
|
Where would you suggest?
Basically im looking for all the different options that people are using or have used and gotten the best results from that set up, I have read the stickies on FI for newbs but it doesnt give you real peoples actually success with the different set ups...great info but I am looking for info on actual set ups on stock motors that have satisfied the 350-400hp mark with reliability:))

Buy a plenum spacer. Same result and less money than the Crawford...
|
with a BP single you will make 400 whp easy @ 8psi

I have before and after dyno sheets with a spacer... no gains at all in F/I. Pressurized air flows much differently than in a vacuum.

I'm not quite experienced yet with my z actually being boosted, but if I could do it all over again, I'd either stay stock block with twins or supercharger and call it a day, OR have gone straight to dynosty to build my block... no fuxing around with local people. OR I would have gone 2j. Not a huge fan of v-8's... Don't get me wrong, they are awesome for power and all that, just not my style... |
If i did it again it would have been an RB 26 or RB30 or I might have tried something really cool and did a nissan TB48.
I still think the RBs are smaller displacement and old technology but the money have spent on my set up :o at least with the RB I would have something different making a "reliable" 550whp :thumbup: |
