PowerLab: Stage 5 Turbo Kit/ProEFI ECU/Intense 797WHP **Video**
Apologies for late responses bear with me on the final pricing and the pics going up on the site as PowerLab was reviewing and editing the info and pics of the PowerLab kit for them today. We will have the kit up on Monday at the latest for all of you. Send any requests and questions to my PM.
Thank you for the interest and continued enthusiasm.

Am I the only one disappointed with the pricing? I know this kit is capable of high horsepower but $7k for a single turbo seems steep to me. I am not trying to be a hater but I was expecting about $1k less than what I am seeing.

Like when people buy other turbo kits most usually end up buying the following parts
- Walbro 255LP/H Fuel Pump $99
- 550/650cc Injectors $480 ($80 a piece w/ clips roughly)
- Turbo XS Utec and Map Sensor - $999
- Blow off Valve + Fabrication $100 - $200 + Fabrication (Only in Greddy Kits)
- Oil Pan Spacer so you dont have to tap your block $149
Total = $1927
Add that to the existing cost of any kit out there, and this kit is very competitively priced, especially for the proven power potential.
Granted some kits might come with blow off valves and some might come with the fuel pump, but none of them come with large enough injectors to support anything over 400WHP on a returnless system. Or Engine Management most tuners feel comfortable with over 400WHP.
This kit definitely isn't for everyone, PowerLab's goal isn't to be the cheap alternative. Instead the kit that is compiled of the best components according to the industry, the Best Turbo, Wastegate, EMS, etc

bump an old thread.
what is the actual part # for a 76s turbo. That seems to be a common name with no real link to current model garrett turbos. Is that a gt40, gt42?
I guess pics were never posted of the 3.5" down pipe, or any of the mods for the 76s setup?

The 76s isn't a Garrett turbo. While this 76s turbo is an upgrade to the standard 35R PowerLab kit, it's for the most part a 1-off kit. We are doing it for a local project (Jorge's Z33) as well, but it's only an option if we are doing it as a project. Therefore, the downpipe isn't going to be shown, nor are other parts that go into upgrading the 35R kit to the 76s kit, because it's not an off the shelf kit like the 35R.

its a completly different down pipe... its not easily fittable with the current kit to do the dp upgrade and every thing else needed...the a 76S of green g35 is of the standard gt35r kit...which has already reached 906whp an has more to go.... jsut get the kit the turbo and some custom modding on the DP to get the 76S to fit...or...u could put a gt40r too... gt42r is a lil too big and too much bastardizing of the rad support than you are probbly interested.
The 3.5" Dp wasn't easy but in the end ... hot as hell... and fits with out hammering the firewall...along with a nice set of headers custom fabed ......
id like to go on and post pics of teh build but ill hold up for a lil bit longer, my build is almost done......and there is of course also rudes build in the pipeline 2 for a monster street AT

Thanks Darren,
Do you know the specs of that turbo (wheel sizes, housing etc). The thread were Intense made 900 hp is over a year old, so I guess going big single really never caught on?

well this thread eliminated doubts of what a single turbo could do for power on a vq.
the psicological damage the tn kit and aps kit only casted a cloud over single turbos thats still being overcome by the comunity...
Your just startin got see build vq with pl kit and gt37r....sooner peopel will push for more hp... ..blocks reving to 8000-9000 rpms makes it a whole lot more funner 2...

HOw long has the fabrication taken so far on your kit Jorge? Just looking at the supra and grand national scene, you can tell big singles can make sick power.
I;m just tryin to weigh different options. pretty much 500 hp at 5000 rpms is what I am after and i've seen plenty single and twin kits do that. It seems that the twin kits that make that kinda power are a ton of extra work to install at home and you have to refab a bunch of stuff. So i just want to make sure I fully explore the single route as well.

here are some posts from the thread for reference..
fab time on the dp wasnt that long...under 2 weeks till i saw the polished version that was going to go in my car

As Promised I'd return today and update everyone with pictures and video.. (There's no torque curve because our tach is messed up, it looks like a seisomograph when it's on pegging 1800tq lol)
Here are the dynographs from Fridays endeavor Here's an 897 STD Correction

Here is the same dynograph on SAE (which we use as our standard)

And for comparison sake, here's what a Supra does w/ the same Turbo (different boost pressures) but you can see how much of a difference there is in spool up time.

Here's a video of it after the exhaust leak! (866whp run)

If you watch the 2 videos back to back you'll be able to see how bad the exhaust leak was...
This morning started out well once we got the hardware we needed to bolt the slicks onto our G35.. But as darren posted earlier we would see the end of this clutches short lived life. We were only able to make 891WHP w/ slicks before the clutch started slipping... We're going to be ordering a Tilton clutch, some axles and some other goodies... Here's a picture of what's to come

From my last post "(There's no torque curve because our tach is messed up, it looks like a seisomograph when it's on pegging 1800tq lol)" If your tach is messed up you can't read in RPM you have to dyno in Speed only.

That was a run on friday, with a set of 19'' iForged wheels and 305 series tires.
