Gurgle this if you don't choke,

My little blue G35 Sedan will enjoy toying with it's fellow v35 brethren, but soon it will be very unlike any other G35 sedan (except Zimbo's)...

Greddy called me today to bring my sedan in on Monday for the prototype Twin Turbo install for the sedan.

I will have all the details as they happen.

M3 owners will never know what hit them....

I was with you until you got to the "very unlike any other sedan part".

But seriously, I'm excited for you.

I have a question, is greddy using you as a test monkey? What if your motor blows after install of the turbo? Will Greddy replace your motor or what?

GReddy spent well over a year and half with their 350Z with no issues what so ever.

If you keep within the specs that GReddy designed the kit to run at, you will not have issue.

If you allow a banjo playing inbred to hack on your car, you will then have issues. Stay away from those that think they can make it run better. If they truly knew what they were doing, we would all be driving the "Inbred Ted Mobile" and running it on moonshine.

I have all the faith in what GReddy has done so far, and what they will bring to the table in the future.....

No doubt they are good with their product but im just saying what if you know? What if or god forbids the turbo installtion or the parts to run bad leading in a blown motor. Will the replace free of charge or its just a risk you are taking?

Wow. Are you referring to anyone in particular?

Everything on the kit will fit the sedan except the for some of the intercooler piping. The biggest challenge willl be the e-manage for the sedan ecu. Zimbo can testify to the changes that had to be made to make the Splitsecond box work on his sedan.

Thank you. I'm indeed looking forward to it.

It's there so questions not asked on the forum may be answered if needed...

I have been out of the FI news loop for a while, but I sure remember reading that right before a show a long time ago the Greddy 350z blew a motor during tuning. Am I remembering this wrong? If not, then I'd say that qualifies as a problem during the 350z's tuning process that you said didn't happen.
