Most modern car technology was derived from a racing program at some point and the same thing is applied here. We are using what we learned and have done on our racecar G35 so the r&d was basically something we were doing anyway. We take everything from that and translated it to this new kit and have made something that we think is really special. Chance are this wont be the only turbo kit platform we make, this is just the beginning but as all succesful companies we are starting with what we know best, and no one knows these cars better then us.
To Suprasam's point, we see a lot of dreamers nowadays (it's one of the reasons I still check FI), so I hope these are real customers.

Good to see people still interested. I still love my car and would have to see a pile of cash way over the value to consider parting with the Z. That won't happen so I guess it'll stick with me longer.

Good luck, interested to see the results

I think all of you have waited long enough. In the next two weeks we will be releasing all of the info on this kit. From photos to videos to price points to kit options to dyno numbers to track reports. But in the meantime enjoy this little sneak peek we posted on fb a few days ago! Who wants to see more!?

I don't see any wires... just 2 hard lines that can easily be wrapped in heat reflective wrap.

Nope no wires near it, everything clear perfect and with almost no modification or trimming required like most forced induction additions.

Looking forward to more updates and dyno numbers.

FYI... According to TiAl's website, their SS V-band turbine housing for the 35R is 1.03 A/R.

We are using the 1.03 housing on the turbo kit and there is a typo on the flyer it is supposed to be a 1.03 on the flyer. Originally when we first started designing the turbo kit, tial had a 1.06 housing that was available, they have since stopped making the 1.06 housing and now only offer the 1.03 for the gt35.
