Red face Houston Area 350z installers? Simple work looking for help

This car is not the hardest to work on but im looking for someone that can do simple installations. Plenum / Utec. Im mostly concerned about getting a supercharger installed. Im looking to buy one in the next 2 weeks. Im gonna go with vortec I believe. Can somebody help me install it if all the tools are right in front of you? Does anyone have experience with setting up f/i

Does anybody in the area have a supercharged car I can catch a ride in. Ive never been in one just want to see what an extra 100hp will do.

Your best bet is to have SGP tune the car. Even if you put the SC in yourself. The UTEC will need to be dialed in. You can't just install it and go. You'll end up screwing something up. 100hp feels pretty decent. You might consider nitrous if you don't need the power all the time. 150 shot feels just right. gives you about 150whp/195wtq more.

O yeah forsure dude I was just looking for somebody to install it. I would either go to stoopid fast or sgp but they are a bit pricey. I would deff have somebody tune my car ive already blown 3 cats because of tuning. I want real safe reliably fun not looking to race hardcore jus want a lil more power.

stoopid fast....you mean Jason right? One hell of a tuner...but I don't think he works on alot of Zs. I've known the guy for a good 7 years. He can build a honda like no ones business. Built my buddy's 240 (KA-T - 10.80s in the 1/4) and his civic HB ran 10.60s and this was 6 years ago.

SGP tunes alot of Zs. I'd take it to whoever touches them more. What's Jason up to these days anyway? Heard he had a shop...haven't seen him in a minute.

SGP is the only way to go for the best work and tune. Ask for Mark.

They tuned my UTEC (3 different maps) for nitrous. They also installed a few parts my last trip there (clutch, flywheel, plenum spacer, test pipes, headers). Jermaine from TurboXS was there while he tuned it (helping to tweak the maps)....can't get much better than that!


If you see Jason, tell him Robert that had the black 94 HB si (looked like his turbo HB only with RH C2s and spray) says hello...haven't seen him in a couple years. Hope he's doing well.....if you know Jason, you might know my buddy Duy (240sx with a 2JZ and a Supra). I dunno if Jason still builds/tunes his cars or not....but last I heard, Duy's 240 ran 8s in Sealy at the last race. PRetty impressive.

Does Mikey still hang out with Jason? I remember his 96 HB running 11s on a LS turbo (stock block).

That is pretty badass you got hooked up Jermaine must of gave you some good numbers! Duy I do know who he is and know about his cars but not really personally. I met him at judgement day when jason drove his car and ran a 8.7 in his 240. Yea that **** was badass I actually have it on video. Mikey I dont know him.

I did talk to Mark at SGP for a vortec kit base model and its a reasonable price. The labor is killer though thats why im looking for somebody just to install it. Im gonna run utec on it so thats why the basic kit
Im really jus looking for a lil xtra fun not trying to be fast because I know how much these motor suck with f/i
I want it as reliable as can be and punch it winever
