Boosted Performance or Custom Turbo Build

jwick · 01-23-2015, 07:01 AM

Last check he had V1.5 left

Joepro · 01-23-2015, 05:38 PM

the only thing I regret with the BP kit is not owning the car longer to enjoy it! You will not be disapointed...the boost comes on fast and string and the TQ curve is really close to the gtm tt kits, comes on way sooner than the VSR, I looked at VSR too, but didn't want to send my car, and after seeing the quality and simplicity of the BP kit the right decision was made.

I have not herd of any issues with Sasha's BP kit. The people who have it love it. You call he picks up the phone. If there is a problem it's addressed.

Vortec/SNR/VSR has a bad track record in Tampa. Desperately trying to clean up there rep. New CNC machine, New benders, hired new fabricators, Jiggs for there kit. Starting to get some consistence from them. 1st few kits i was there for tune and was seriously wanting this kit but welds look like 3 year old made them. 4 years later they have gotten much, much better.

If you do VSR kit call Motion Lab and ask what you will need to make it a solid high quality kit. They have some recommendations. They might have a perfected tune they can send you. They have done magic on that kit. VSR did the hard stuff, Motion Lab takes it to next level and fine tunes it.

My 2cents / I live here and see there kits and talk with guy's at shows that have them in 370z & 350z. Most are happy, more than a few are not.

Quality of BP and Sasha's reputation does it for me, he just needs to build an AT Kit for me

How many times are you planning on posting the same thing over and over regarding vsr? Every turbo kit has things that could be done better or there wouldn't be different versions and that's a good thing. When you compare people who make kits part time and the people who make them full time who do you think will be in for the long haul.. hmm
When Nissan comes out with the next gen z and it is forced induction all of these kits will fade... But hey to each his own...

TopgunZ · 02-01-2015, 05:39 PM

That post is ridiculous. Is the guy talking about a kit for the next gen Z? No. And you can buy kits for cars that are no longer produced all over the place. Sasha doesnt even own a 370z and he is making kits for them. What makes you think he wont jump on a new platform?

COSMO · 02-01-2015, 07:28 PM

Only time will tell on what sasha may do while making kits on the side of his full time job while living in canada. Lets just hope for his customers sake he doesn't decide to stop.. Again to each his own..
But hey the BP Club sounds really cool....

Merv · 02-01-2015, 08:08 PM

Actually it does sound cool. Maybe you should join. You could do with one less headache.

TopgunZ · 02-01-2015, 08:20 PM

Look at the title of the post. Do you think this guy cares if bp would stop producing? Hes talking about custom builds so I think it would be ok. Maybe you should learn how to weld manifolds....

COSMO · 02-01-2015, 08:24 PM

Planning on picking up a gtr next year so highly doubtful...

jdsto · 02-01-2015, 08:53 PM

I don't know how Sasha does his pricing but with the U.S. dollar gaining significantly over the Canadian dollar these days maybe it will make the kit even more affordable for you fellas south of the border.

TopgunZ · 02-01-2015, 11:14 PM

Will do cosmogirl and Im sure the gtr club would love to have you.

Anyways. OP, after having put this kit on once I never had to look at the manual to put it back on and i did it in a weekend.

Ive never heard of anyone installing a different kit easier and cant imagine there would be.

Neil912 · 02-02-2015, 01:35 AM

After considering different shops and prices for a custom build, I have decided to go with the BP kit. As far as the price is concerned it is the best price. Even if Sasha decided to stop making kits I doubt he will give up on helping us if we ever run into problems. I'm going to wait for another round of 2.0 kits, but if only 1.5's are available it isn't a problem. I've talked to Alex with Motion Labs and he gave me some insight on some things that could make the kit better. Nothing over the top or costly. I will get the tuner kit so I can go a different direction with the fuel pump and injectors. Gotta ask Sasha if he will leave the spark plugs off the kit so I can get different ones. I also plan to get an electronic boost control so I don't need to use the included manual controller. I will start making my purchases in March/April so that I can have some DIY fun in July.

So far purchased the RJM clutch pedal. Next up is all new clutch stuff and the GTR start/stop button. Then I will get the BP kit and F.I. non resonated exhaust with Gale's A pillar single. I'm looking at Innovate Motorsports all in one wideband, boost, and controller gauge. Any feedback on that gauge or thoughts are appreciated. After buying tires if the budget allows for it I would like some Volk wheels.

I don't think that is necessarily true. There are so many Z owners that it would be impractical to up and leave the current design to focus on upgrades for the next gen Z. Sure some people will trade in their Z for one of the new ones especially if it is indeed twin turbo or turbo at all. I personally like the engine now and those that want forced induction can go that route. I can imagine the costs of trying to go with more power in a 3.0 engine with tiny turbos compared to what we can do now.

mikey1600 · 02-02-2015, 02:32 AM

for the cost, take the BP kit and spend the extra money on supporting mods.

you've said you will install the kit yourself, there's savings there for you already over the custom build, don't re-invent the wheel, take what's available at a good price for a good setup, and use your money wisely.

if the shop hasn't done VQ single turbo setups previously, I wouldn't bother at all, search the forums for some of the single turbo setups and issues people have had, take something you know that works, and use it.

500rwhp is fine with stock MAF's

if you change anything to do with your clutch, upgrade to the heavy duty CSC at the same time, this is probably one of the most common failures.
