Kevin and Alex installed the turbonetics kit on Alex's car.

I'm gonna install my Powerlab on mine with some help from Kevin and Alex. Tuning will take place in Austin at Protech more than likely unless you guys recommend another shop somewhere.

Yeah, those are very pricey. Well, it'll be a while before I'll be ready for some new shoes so, keep me in mind D.

Stock internals for now, but hopefully will be building up sometime down the road. I hope the engine lasts till sometime next year. 400 rwhp is about as much as you want to go with an 03 DE stock block for reliability issues. But, since I don't drive my car much, I may push it a bit more. I hate driving on stock wheels

Thanks Mike, I'll look into UpRev. So far I have Protech, Engine Logics in Houston, and Jotech but I don't think they tune UTECS.


My car will be in pieces starting today (state holiday). Going to remove hood, bumper, headlights (need a polish), exhaust, and we'll se what else I can get to. Won't be able to make the meet. let me know how it pans out. Someone take some pics.

Took your advice:

Been looking into Engine Logics but truthfully, I don't think the person I dealt with knows anything about FI 350z.

1. He didn't even know what whp the engines can handle or would handle.

2. He ask me if I new what the engines were capable of.

3. I told him I wanted 400rwhp and will be using 600cc injectors and he replies that I'd be just short of maxing out my injectors for that much power. Then he said that Alex would not get there with his 440s. Please, Forget them. I gave them a chance and they (he) blew it.

I won't disclose names but maybe if I called in person, I might speak to someone more knowledgeable. So much for emails.


Who did you deal with over there?

I only speak to the owner. His name is Chris. His voice sounds like he's from England when he is from South Africa. He is a white person, fyi. He and his wife live at his shop. It has been over a year since I've spoken with him since I'm no longer in the Houston area nor do I have the G35.
