Peter,
In the long run it may be beneficial to have different sized injectors to choose from based on hp application. I'm sure there will be a few of us searching for 7xx'cc if not even more. There's always a few psycho's in the bunch
, are you aware of anyone that currently has a 700 cc range injector for the VQ block, I already know of one person searching for such an injector... (Sorry to kinda stray the main purpose of the thread).
What is your ETA for the kit here in the states? Do you have a public version of the compressor map of your turbo for you kit you can share? So I'm assumming these turbo's can support up to 30 psi to redline on the 3.5 litre version from your statement previously?

APS,
Thanks for answering my previous question. I just have a couple more;
- For the FMIC, is the front bumber brace need to be removed? Like the Greddy kit requires..
- Is there any relocation of any items that need to be moved? ie. front airbag sensors..
Thanks!

When I get a chance I will ask our engineering staff to measure the exhaust back pressure (pre cats). If the exhaust B/P pre cats is as high as I suspect there will be some decent gains in power and torque to be had
![Cool](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif)
The only reason I had not removed the factory stock cats is I have been told by people in the states that you can't tamper with the stock cats in the first 3 to 5 years of car life.
![Confused](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
With the second part of your question (if I understand your question correctly) if you remove the stock cats and therefore the turbo pressure rises from say 7 psi to 8.5 psi then the engine would MOST likely require custom tuning to ensure safe air/fuel ratios and ignition timing, otherwise the engine may suffer detonation.

thanx for the info peter!
Now im not an expert of emission laws over the U.S. but i belive most states have a 3-5 year exemption period untill you have to get your emissions done when you purchase the car new.
Now in Colorado we have a 4 year exemption untill we have to do the first emissions test when you purchase the car brand new so in my case i can spend what 180-200 bucks for a set of test pipes and have 4 years untill i would have to bolt the factory cats back in for an e test....Why wouldnt you!
from what ive read is the factory cats are very restrictive in FI applications so from what you are saying it sounds like hi flow cats/test pipes would benifit your system.
Now about your engine management system im not sure if you have covered this or not but will your system be fairly easy to custom tune and will it control both fuel ratios and ignition timing and does it utilize the maf sensor or is it using maps? thinks if you have answered that question b4 just tell me where to look

The problem with such large injectors, it is very difficult to achieve correct air/fuel ratios in a part throttle condition unless you go to a full stand alone engine management system (which is not a problem to do except for the high up front cost) and even then the part throttle engine response is not flash.
There may be a direct bolt in 700cc injector though to be frank I have not looked into the issue as we have not considered utilising such a large injector in the Z engine.
We expect the US release for the APS TT system to be late September 04 if all goes to plan and we dont run into any unforeseen issues.
The final spec on the Garrett DBB turbochargers will be made by APS engineers within the next week or so, though we wont release that information on the compressor flow maps until closer to the product release date.
![Frown](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I will ask the powers to be if i can release that info on the APS web site in the near future (by the end of May) as this is when we plan to have lots of pictures and product information pertaining to the TT system on the website.

The APS front mount intercooler is of bar and plate construction and does retain the front bumper brace. The air bag sensor is relocated (mounted on a new bracket) a few inches away from its original position, and the intercooler is as large as could be packaged within the available space
![Big Grin](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I have no doubt that the APS intercooler package will easily cope with 450 Horsepower applications and does provide very cold charge air temperature at even higher (600 HP) power if required

Yes they are making it for the G35, an APS rep did the measurment for the intercooler on my car on wednesday

Not sure if we will need to design new intercoolers to suit the G35, will let you all know after we have had a thorough look.

Guys, believe me it'll be worth the wait for APS kit. If only i knew how to post pics here i'd show you a sample of their work (if anyone can show me how i can post the pics).
However just like most of you i have question marks about the APS kit. Like the inseperability of the kit. I would prefer something other than unichip and i also would prefer a titanium exhaust system which is lighter etc. Oh and it'd be cool to see a comparison between APS, Greddy and PE to see which one would be better suited to a rebuild motor with lower compression etc.
I guess we'll cross our fingers and wait until september to find out.

Im sold on their system as it is now but of course we would all like to see more dyno info and 1/4 mile times! Twin Garrett bb turbos...sounds like a good choice to me!

I have no doubt that a set of test pipes will FREE UP the exhaust system and provide improved engine response, by the way if the cats are removed does this cause a CEL or not ?
![Confused](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
We can design custom tuning maps within certain parameters (adjust ignition timing and air/fuel ratios) and TT system will retain the Mass Air Flow sensor.

By the way have many of you guys run a TT Z car over the 1/4 mile and what results have you achieved?
I am interested to see the ET and MPH you guys have to date.

I think the components of the kit...except for the proprietary engine management system. It would appear that you are locked into my boost level once everything is installed. I supposed higher boost would require reflash/new chip..or whatever.
