Building a twin-charged, Nissan Z-car takes vision, planning, a healthy pocketbook, and healthy dose of both time and talent. Plus, it doesn’t
hurt if you are stationed in Germany near one of the greatest test tracks known to man—the Autobahn.

All of this was factored into Aaron Eddington’s original build plan… read full article

 

Old news

 

+1^ IIRC was he going to part out the car? It is good to see that (per the article) he is going to keep it and build the motor for more power.

 

And he is putting all that "power" to 245's stretched on 11" rims

 

Unique? Yes

Fast? Fawk no. That thing is a dog and would get stomped by most of the sites "standard" builds.

 

All that money spent and it only made 360 on the dyno, but still i think its a nice set-up.

 

Which dessert did he deploy to? Pecan pie, hot fudge sundae, or black forest cake?

Also when they mentioned the greatest test track known to man in Germany was the Nurburgring.

 

Welcome to last year OP. Someone needs to clean the cobwebs from your internetz.

 

This is funny. He sold the car a month ago. I wonder why he is doing interviews on it...? And no he is not building the engine. He was trying to sell me the parts.

 

Alberto. How do you know its a dog? Have you had a ride in it?

Would you consider an S4 pushing 18lbs and running race gas a dog? Cause I just stomped my buddies.

410 torque and 250 whp at 3200 rpms is nothing to turn your nose up at.

Fast? Yes. Unique? Yes. Look and sound cool? Yes. Practical? No. Would I do it again? No.

 

You probably could’ve done that with just the single turbo though, lol :P

 

I was complimenting it by calling it a dog. In the FI scheme of things that thing is utter trash.

I don't have to ride in it to know its slow, lol @ 250/3200rpms oh $hit look out.

 

LMAO

 

You have zero proof of anything you say.

Show me a dyno that has 410 torque and 250hp by 3200 on a stock block 350. Oh and you cant steal mine out of my album.

 

 

Yeah, to some members negativity is their way of contributing to the forum.

 

I totally agree here. Im not backing the twin charge up by saying its superior to any other build. I agree that a twin-turbo or single can put down just as much and more power much more efficiently.

But is the twin charge slow? No it isnt. Havent met a car on the street that has beat me yet.

Is it fun to drive? Hell yeah it is.

 

When you race do you ask opponents to go from idle to 3200rpms only?

 

In FI world,
Twin turbos or single turbo setup, use waste energy exhaust gas pressure to rotate turbos to compress and force more air into the engine, with more fuel, it able to produce more power to the engine. Small twin turbos setup is less lag. Larger single turbo has more lag.

Supercharger, use energy from the engine that produce through pulleys to rotate supercharge to compress air to engine to make more power.

So how does Supercharge and Turbocharger setup work? Is the supercharger pulls the turbo to make more power? Or the turbo rotates the supercharger? Or do they both work instantaneously to push air into the engine to make more power?

Someone, please enlighten me in this kind of subject.

 

No, I go from idle to 7000rpms with peak torque at 3200 which remains flat across the range from there on out and peaking hp at 430 due to the limitations of the rods.

Again, can you show me a dyno of a stock block 350 that can perform like a large displacement V8?

It is doing what it was designed to do. Have instant boost (roots) and not fall flat on its face after 4.5k (turbo).

Honestly, the roots becomes a bottleneck for the turbo. You can feel it transition and its not smooth. However, it is doing what it was designed to do and slams you into the seat with a jab of the throttle at 2k and pulls hard to redline.

Alberto, How is it you know more about this car than I do even though Ive built it and driven it for a whole year and youve never even seen one? Interesting.
