Ok guys I've been gathering pieces for my build for the past year. I will post a list of my mods and I would like to get a suggestion to what to do or if my setup be a good. So far I've collected:
-Eagle rods
-Arias pistons .20 over
-TN kit (but threw the turbo,bov,and waste gate out and added pte 6266,tial q bov ,and pte 38mm wastegate.)
-ferrera valve train kit +1mm
-Brian crower 272 cams
-revup oil pump
-haltech ecu
-aam oil spacer
-blox plenum spacer
- aam fuel return
- 1000cc fuel injectors
Ok I may have forgotten some of the upgrades but will as later the only thing I still need is a clutch and that's because I'm still debating on what to get. Now I know people like to talk bad about the TN kit, but I'm really hoping for some good number out of my upgrades that I have listed. I'd like to see what some of you guys have to say/suggest what I should do next or what route to go. Thanks for your time

 

add an oil cooler, a return-fuel system and a walbro 255 pump, possibly a catch-can, look into the ARP stud kit, what are your plans for your exhaust? What are your power goals? Is this your only vehicle?

take a bunch of pictures and post your progress -

 

I was looking into oil coolers is the z1 one good? im using the aeromotive 300 fuel pump and already have a perrin catch can and arp stud kit and for exhaust I was going to do straight pipe into quad tip (using the burnt tips off a gtr). My power goals? ehhh I would love to get around 600 but after reading about people with the same kit hitting 450 I don't know what to expect now. This is not my only vehicle my DD is a nismo juke

 

I don't know much about Z1 but I think they have a pretty good reputation - someone will chime in.

I don't know what to think about your exhaust but I would consider reading Corky Bell's Maximum Boost before you really get going on your build - it's a great resource and will either reiterate your design or make you think twice.

 

Bearings
Head gaskets ...Prob hKS or cosworth
Good luck w the build

 

I got bearings but don't know what gaskets to use but a guy off here told me I'd be lucky to hit 550 with TN kit

 

Hope in one and hand **** in the other... see what you end up with; a POS TN

In all seriousness I know what goes into a build. time wise. money wise. done it more than once on more than one car. NO F^CKING WAY I would do it if I was running a TN kit.

it's like the guy doing a manual swap... just sell the damn kit and buy one that is worthwhile doing a build around

 

Owned several kits over the years... TN is at the bottom (I'd rather be NA than run a TN kit again upgraded or not), greddy 18G is by far at the top of my list.

 

Lucky or lied to.

 

From my knowledge ... TN kit is small in diameter , the pipping is very restrictive ... So with that big turbo u have, it will still hold it back... But good luck tho

With the cams and e/b/c ... You might clear 500

 

I have had my TN kit for 40k miles or so and zero issues at all.

If/when I finally build my spare block, I wouldn't expect anything over 5 for sure. That's what I really want for the moment tho.

 

dynosty also has a good head gasket that is built like the hks ones but cheaper.

 

Ok so I guess I'll sell the TN kit and what do you guys think of the jwt twin turbo kit? Because I'm looking at that one now

 

+1

IMO, which equates to ALMOST, and I mean almost nothing, if your headgasket fails it's a resultant of a bigger problem, no headgasket will save you from a bad tune...old boy Corky might agree...

 

Never been a huge fan of the JWT kits... 530 is too limiting in general, and the 700 has a lopsided power band that is flow limited up top, expensive to rebuild BB turbos, pull thru MAF which is hard to tune (unless you ditch the MAF and go full standalone)... The greddy 18G is just perfect all around -- amazing power band from 3k rpm all the way to redline, huge flow potential that works equally well on stock or built engines, cheap to rebuild the turbos, and you can even rebuild the turbos to 20G if you want to shoot for 800whp+

 

Ok because there's a guy in my city that's been trying to sell the greedy kit for 3 years now for 3k so I'll go check it out.

 

offer him $2000, spend the other $1000 to have the blowers rebuilt

 

Another downside of JWT, unless your buying it used it has to be installed by a authorized dealer. Greedy TT FTW....

 

I love my greddy 18g kit. I would have to agree with DJAMPS and say that the power band is really strong from 3k up. What are your plans with your car though ? Drag racing/road racing? I was eyeing a few single turbo kits like powerlab but I'm really happy with the choice I made due to the availability of the power at midrange.

 

just road race really and the kit that the guy was selling wasn't a greedy it ended up be a power enterprise twin turbo kit
