4 quarts of Redline 75w90 (or 75w90ns) with a friction modifier
I'll get the part number for you when I get home tonight. It seems to be a little quieter with the 75w90. And don't forget the infamous mod on the ecu for the best traction

Could you shed some light on this "mod" for the VDC?
Or are you talking about the "leave VDC off mod"? Which I have.
thanks

Just wondering, what's the deal with the cats? Is it that they are going to be selling cats as an option or what?

They will be selling a kit with a cat downstream of the turbo. In most states this should allow you to pass smog... I know they have been talking about Carb exemption. Not sure what they are going to do there though. G35 kit should be started as early as Friday probably Monday for the G owners. R&D time will obviously be MUCH less considering the similarities to the Z...

) Is Turbonetics going to make the cats or are they made by someone else?

I'm facing the same issue with the EVO2. I'm thinking about just modifying my X pipe (which is really a double Y-pipe) by cutting it off at the front where the pipes coming from the headers join into the single pipe and having the necessary flange welded on. Guess I'd leave that up to the shop to come up with an appropriate solution. It's a little discouraging that they're producing the piping for this to fit the stock exhaust system flange when 90% of the people who buy this are or will be using aftermarket, and mostly dual exhausts. It would be nice if there was an option for piping to meet up to an aftermarket system where these systems join upto the cats. But that's just me whining like a girl...

Mia, it may be overkill for 4 quarts..but here's the product # for the friction modifier
083522803014 Redline LSD friction mod $6
Any word on recommendations for spark plugs and headers...It'd be great if Crawfords fit..

Then again, i've heard from one of my friend's that swears by Turbonetics said that Turbonetics is all about making each kit custom for the consumer.
So mia, these are the options for the kit right?
Turbonetics single turbocharger kit - $4750 - includes ECU reflash, 440cc injectors, ss fuel lines, Walbro fuel pump.
Turbonetics single turbocharger kit - ~$4000 - tuner version - does not include ECU reflash, fuel pump, fuel lines, or fuel injectors.
What's the deal with the exhaust? Will there be a kit WITH high-flow cats and one WITHOUT?
Just trying to get everything clear.
Once the kit comes out, and everything is set...I would start a new thread with the facts so everyone knows, this thread has gotten too long.
