The past six months for them has been nothing but hardwork, testing and research and development. Just for the Z and G they have come out with the following parts:
  • - 5/16 Plenum Spacer
  • - 3 Single Turbo Kits (GT35R, 37R, 76S)
  • - Twin Intank Fuel Pump System
  • - Billet Fuel Rails and Spacers (capable of using 1600CC Injectors)
  • - G35/350z Specific Vacuum Distribution Block
  • - 4'' Single Exit Exhaust System w/ a very trick muffler (which is serviceable)
  • - Intake Manifold Spacer (1/4'' +)
  • - Twin GT37R Turbo Kit (which is almost complete and running will be dyno'ing very shortly)

And many other things are in the work

Here's something you can see..

Here's a few pictures of another pre-production PowerLab Stage 1 Kit on a Convertible 350z.







It's just at spring pressure for now, stock engine we'll have a seperate thread for it here in a couple of days So for those of you waiting for this kit to be released, hold on and be patient... It won't be long until these kits are in stock and are ready to be shipped out!!!

Speaking of pics, where's the pics of your kit and or dyno's

Hey guys, here's some pictures of the Blowzilla Turbo just so you can erase the thought of it being a turbo that was built in the 80's lol.

This is a PowerLab production Blowzilla Turbo, as you see it here, is how you would receive it in the end.

It has a PowerLab Modified Compressor cover (Polishing is standard) Which allows the outlet to clear the headlight bracket on Z's...


Fully Billet CNC'd Compressor Backplate and 360 degree rotational Center Section


Compressor wheel, it's a GT35R wheel, with a custom Bullet Nut!


And another full shot of the Polished Compressor housing!



Here's a picture of one of the replacement A/C Lines..


Here's the Blowzilla Downpipe (Since this is a prototype piece it was unpolished)
The T3/T61 AKA Blowzilla uses a Standard Garrett P Trim T3 Turbine housing which has a 2.5'' Discharge, which makes this downpipe start at 2.5'' and expand to 3'' As soon as possible.. With it installed the clearance is amazing, it almost looks like it was meant to be in there from the Factory! Also the fabrication/welding on it was top-notch, every weld nearly looked robotic!

i wonder how much difference would it be between the blowzilla and the gt35r in spool time/performance/reliability... cheaper isnt always the way to go. i also wonder how much in price difference.... 200$-1500$??? this all indicates on wich kit i might be going with. but if the blowzilla can spool under 3500rpm and still manage near 550whp on a built block. i wouldnt hesitate to take that jump.. well i hav 4k saved up maybe it will be near or just enough for a tuner kit.

will see .....there is a lil too much hype in trubos that are overpriced compared to what some other turbos can do ...as they are mainly debadged, but wie will see.
I am not sure what ill be ultimantly going but thie 78-gtsDBB aint that bad..spools liek the 76-gts, specs are: T4 .81 tangental turbine housing V-band (or your choice of .96 ar), H-compressor cover (.75ar), capable of over 1200hp...which gives you possibility of hitting 1000whp+

No hype, as most people dont even know about them, and all their prices are in line with precision stuff. Check it out.

You seem to be pretty adamant about trying Bullseye Power Turbos. Which is ok and everything, but what have you seen or done with Bullseye Power tested directly against Garrett or Turbonetics to warrant it being better? I mean besides what you read and all..

They have come along way over the years, and they do have a good line of turbos. the lack of major stocking distributors/support really kill it for us. More then likely we'd have to wait 3-5 days for a turbo to arrive, and who knows how long it would take if we ever had to have one serviced.

For example we can get any turbo we want either the same day or next day (anything from a GT12 to a GT55) and not only that but if we ever need any warranty work thats also a 1 to 2 day turnaround.

What testing have you dont to prove their not? I never said garrett was bad, as I do love their turbos, just like what I have seen and heard about BW turbos. Ill give you some testing in the next few months. The majority of big drag racers where I live use Bullseye/BW turbos.

I already said I was not trying to be a nut swinger, but wanted to see if you have tested them at all. If you dont have any desire to, then no skin off my back.
