Can't wait, thanks for the info. I am eagerly waiting because this is EXACTLY what I want. The Eclipse I sold because of the BS that went on with the Belt. I would go through like 3 a year because they would start slipping no matter how tight I had it. And when it slipped REALLY bad it would buck hard and feel like fuel cut off at like 3500 rpm. I have always wanted a turbo car.
I'm so excited just to get the car, let alone eventually turboing it.
If I get this it will probably be around next year, because I always buy mods that would require some downtime over the summer and then install them when it is garaged for the winter so I have like 6 months to do the install. And I have heard nothing but great things about turbonetics.

I was planning on saving up the ~$10,000 it would cost to get a TT kit on the car with everything needed to run(including guages). Now I want this and the extra money between the two I could get new pistons, rods, valve springs, and retainers and STILL be cheaper than the TT kits. This is the direction I will be going if the price and reliablity holds true.

Good news!!!! I don’t know if Miaplaya released this info but if everything goes correctly the first kits are due out in February. My local installer has a good connection with Turbonetics. I'm putting my preorder in next week.

Hope I didn't miss this info as I lead this loooooong thread, but do you guys/gals think the Turbonetics engine managment system adequately addresses the timing retard aspect of running boost.
And does this setup have an EVC type setup to modify boost levels on the fly.
I have been reading so much in this thread and the APS threads and didn't think about it till after I'd read these long threads so I apologise if I missed these 2 questions for the Turbonetics setup as I went throught it.

Thanks for the info. Does the Turbonetics setup have an EVC or similar controller that lets you change boost level on the fly? I can get the Sunoco racing unleaded at the drag strip that should let you up the boost a little bit at the track. Say from the 7.5 to maybe the 8.3 PSI figures that have been kicked around in this thread. Changing boost level in real time is one of the neato torpedo advantages of turbos over superchargers IMHO. I had the HKS EVC with my'90 Mitsu Eclipse turbo and it was almost more fun than I could endure, ha.

Thanks for the info. This single turbo setup is just growing on me the more I learn and think about it. I had sort of given up on anyone coming up with a great single turbo for our 350Zs considering the lack of space underhood and plumbing issues. A stock 350Z with sticky tires and good driving technique should get into 12 sec. qtr. miles right out of the box with this setup don't ya think? Might be just the ticket. I'm gonna stay tuned to this baby bigtime...I love the APS setup but price and complexity including installation costs are a factor in Turbonetics favor. Hope the quality and reliability over time of this kit comes out as good as we hope.
