Ok so i have a 2006 350z that has 107,000 miles and i want to go forced induction.Now heres the scoop.I lurk the forums 24/7 trying to get as much knowledge i can from here but i got a hook up with a guy locally that is a distributor of performance parts.He is hooking me u with the turbonetics kit with an upgraded ball bearing turbo.Now this is a tuner kit so because i get no injector,no fuel pump,and no reflash.This guy is telling me that i can simply put in this kit with just an upgraded fuel pump fuel pressure regulator and no injectors orreflash.Is this bull**** or is this fine?Ive searched and searched but never found an actually answer to this.He is telling me the car will adjust itself on its own an be fine at 6-8lbs of boost.I came here for help not to get flamed so please help a fellow new guy out.I would just build my block but i want to get use to a forced inducted car before i take a step further.thank you

 

You shoukd get atleast 440cc injectors. No need for a fuel pressure regulator. Also add in a tuning source, like uprev. Worth every penny.

 

This all depends on how much power you are trying to get out of the kit. If your going to stay under 400whp, you can use the stock block, stock injectors, just get a fuel pump like he said and have it tuned and you can run it like that reliably. If your trying to exceed 400whp, you need to rebuild the motor completely with stronger internals and bigger injectors, fuel pressure regulator, ecu tuning sytem to run reliable.

Either way it goes, To be safe if your not going to go too high with power, I would upgrade the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, the injectors bump a size up and definitely have it tuned unless you want your engine blown. but if your looking for lots of power, you have to do all of the above and build the engine.

 

Ok i am just worried about grenading this thing due to this guys advice since i dont know him that well.This is my baby and the last thing i want is to blow the thing.

 

Ok for now i want to be at 400whp not exceed it so from what im gathering if i want it reliable (which yeah i do lol) Injectors,fuel pump,fuel pressure regulator and a tune.Now what size injectors would you use in this setup?

 

Stock injectors will not ve enough. I had rc 440s in my twin set-up and ran out of fuel at 10psi at onky 4800 rpm. Granted there different set-ups, but stock will not be anywhere near enough.

 

so 440s will suffice if i stay at 8psi?Will uprev tuner work good with what im trying to do?

 

Yes the 440s will be enough and the uprev is amazing. I have a sey of rc 440s with ckips if you get the kit.

 

Ckips?pm me a price

 

Pm sent.

 

Talk to Performance Motorsports East or RDZ in CT. for your uprev tuning and installation if needs be. All other points have been covered by previous members.

 

The car is not going to just "adjust itself on its own". Some sort of tuning solution will be required.

 

grenading engine? I did that NA.. no racing.

Osiris for FI?

Fantastic. I mapped a clean 650 to the wheels on mine w osiris.
OP, do yourself a favor and go to google images..
type in " 350z bent piston rod".. and look at what comes up.
Its just good to know what youre boosting on w a stock block.
8 lbs in a stock block.. ur asking for trouble. You want something that will give you ample fuel and timing to be as safe as possible ( notice i did not say reliable), yet sacraficing power in doing so.. this sounds like you.. and that sounds like an Osiris tune.

 

Is it your DD?

 

right. ^ this is the big question.

Im a firm believer that any boosted VQ stock block is ( at one time now or maybe later) simply a built FI engine core waiting to happen.

DOnt make it the car you drive to work.. ask me exactly and in detail how i know what this will do to your life... and your overall happiness as a person lol. .

 

lul.
turbonetics kits suck as proven on this forum over and over.
Unless you're getting it for 1k and are willing to re-work stuff, I wouldn't bother. With your mileage and that kit's issues, you could easily snap a rod.

 

here you go OP.. thank me later.

and this is IF you dont spin a notorious Nissan VQ/RB/Etc etc rod bearing....

oil starvation... we all has it.

 

Curious on what the "hook-up" price hes feeding you? And the shop is doing the install?
440s for sure and just grab a 255 walbro pump.
You can contact treadstone and send ecu for reflash or do the osiris. Like said-is it your daily? Id be on the safe side and keep it at the 5psi mark for sure. Youll still have fun. Transmission?? Clutch etc?? Better read up on all of the supporting mods for any FI--gauges, wideband, clutch/fly, oil pan spacer, oil cooler, bbk(lol jk) etc...

If he tells you stock injectors will be fine along with the fact that he is recommending a turbonetics kit says that your guy is an idiot.
