Looks good^

What are you guys thoughts on ceramic coating the hot side piping and DEI wrap. I'm Las Vegas and it's EXTREMELY hot

Yo do it! Heat management is always a plus

That's not a true comparison as you are still routing the lines back into the intake. The BP intakes don't have that plumbed back in but vented to atmosphere. You can't simply route it back in post turbo. The majority of the discussion we had a few years back was to try and eliminate the idle drop when coming to a stop. Most of us believe the reasoning for it is either turbo location or the fact that the ECU is expecting the crankcase vent to be plumbed in and it causes issues since it's vented to atmosphere. Getting a workable solution to route that back in is where we all got stumped and far as I know there is still not a solution.

My catch can is not recirculated though. All four vented to atmosphere. No caps on the inner ones. Similar to a breather filters which come with the kit, just collecting the oil valors into a can.

also there is no inlet on my intake piping.

Didn't catch that in the photo. How much oil do you collect?

Haven't drained the can since installation. But I doubt it's a lot. Barely been getting on it lately

How do you get air to flow through the separators? I might be confused about the routing.. not much experience with this.

Will this BP kit work with Zspeed CMAK slave delete ?? If not could you make an adjustment to the piping not dealing with that slave again??

My vote is no but I'm not positive anyone has actually tried it. Looking at the pictures I'm positive it won't work on my BP setup but I have a V1.0 manifold.

I wouldn't recommend modifying the piping to accommodate it.

Any Z BP owners running an exhaust other than fast intentions? I bought a new kit 2nd hand and the exhaust connection was left open. Just looking to see if there any other options I may like while I have the opportunity.

I'm running the motordyne exhaust and i love it.

Got any videos? I'd love to hear it

Did it quiet it down a whole lot..? Or is it just as loud with turbo noises mine's going on in mid july and definitely don't wanna lose the motordyne sound.

looking at this and the z fever kit, and where I'd rather not have all that heat right in the bay I also need the intake higher than where the BP kit's filter ends up.

Is there any way in hell to fit a 3" intake tube up the passenger side to get the filter some where in the engine bay? I live where when it rains it RAINS and there is alot of standing water since the island is flat and at sea level.

You could probably fabricate an intake pipe and route the filter wherever you want but I don't think it's required. You would have to drive thru water deeper than the center of your axel hubs before you would get water on the filter. Driving through a puddle won't matter cuz there's enough heat to evaporate it away.

What most people don't realize is some of the TT lots have he filter just as low. The GTM kit route the filter to the bumper where the washer fluid reservoir used to be and it's about the same elevation as my BP filter.

Let me know how to Z fever kit works out for you.:inoutroflpuke:

It's kind of hard to tell looking at the underside pics of the BP kits but it seemed like the filter was just above the subframe. looks like I should be ok if it's above the hub center. Thanks

I'll let you know which ever route I take :ughdance:

Any differences in the kit if its going on a G37?

For those who are running a Motordyne Exhaust, are you running the 2.5 inch or 3 inch turbo version?

Z Fever in Tampa? Do some research first. They do not have the greatest reputation and have put out some hackjobs in the past.

Thanks for clarifying, so far my single turbo search results came up with BP, Z fever and STS.

My main hesitation was the oil less turbo part. I would LOVE to get an BW S362 or EFR8374 in place of the COMP turbo but the COMP's seem pretty damned reliable once the service instructions are followed.

I'll get my self in a position to join in on the BP kit on the next round or 2. :tup:

No problem. Would hate to see you get jobbed by someone.... I DO wish they were reputable as they are local to me... FYI I don't think Z Fever ships their kit- I think you have to ship them your car so they can hack it on themselves. If that is something you are interested in, there are some great shops that will do a custom top-mount style single turbo job for you - I believe JTRAN in Houston has done it and they have a great rep. Incidentally, they also tuned my car and are great/honest people who have gone above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction.

STS also has a poor reputation, and if you go read a book about turbocharging you will start to realize the flaws inherent to their design.

For our platform, and in kit form, the only real choice for single turbo is the BP kit which has a great reputation. Had I not gotten such a great deal on my TT setup, I'd probably be a BP user myself. Good luck and do a lot of reading in this subforum - there is a ton of knowledge stored here.

JTran is no longer open to the public.

I've heard that elsewhere too... Though it seems they are still taking care of previous customers to some extent. Glad to be "grandfathered" in there.... but sad for the community to lose such an awesome shop.

Coincidentally, I happened to exchange facebook messages with Johnny today. I scored an Ecutek tuning cable/dongle not long ago and he is going to touch my tune up for a few things dating back to when I got tuned 1.5 years ago.. they never got addressed since I pretty much got tuned and then drove 1000 miles away immediately. Great service still, too bad they aren't taking on new work.

JTran is no longer open to the public.

Its emission time for me.....i installed mini cats and the P0430 and P0420 has not appeared but i keep getting the P2A00 pending and evantually throwing the CEL.

"o2 sensor circuit range/ performance bank 1 sensor 1"

Anybody else had the issue?

Sensor 1 is the fuel trim sensor. If I recall properly it's the passenger side that sits directly over the turbo. Mine gave me issues after install. I replaced it and code went away. I also wrapped the sensor wiring and harness with thermo-etc heat sleeve.

It's the air fuel o2 sensor correct?

It's the one the ECU uses to control AFR. Sensor 2 is the one post cat.

Ill be starting my install in a couple of weeks. Anyone have specifics or links to what they bought for sizing on heat sleeves and turbo bag Ive read about the transmission harness getting crispy so I'm paranoid about that. I saw some stuff by DEI on summits website but I'm not sure what I need.

TAKING ORDERS for winter 2017 turbo kits
 

DEI Titanium is what you want for header wrap and turbo bag. I went with Therm-tec heat sleeve for all wires and hoses. I bought it all on Summit.

Don't buy the bs ties for the header wrap. Invest in a good set of safety tie pliers and learn how to safety tie.

I have my k-member/motor out and I figured it's a good time as any to go ahead and change out the air filter. Has anyone come up with a direct replacement air filter for the kit? My air filter has become very brittle and appears burnt/melted. Has anyone come up with a way to extend the filter into a more accessible and arguably cooler area up front?

For future ref. the filter for our kits is the custom 4" 20* filter from Buschur racing. I paid 89.00 for it and I've already been through 2. The first one was my fault, the second one bubbled and deformed on the compressor. I gold wrapped the base of #3 to mitigate heat and we'll see how that one goes when I upgrade my turbo.

Are y'all not running a turbo bag?

I'm running my kit with no heat guards in place. 13k miles later no real issue except a hot start issue. Replaced starter and gold wrapped starter and haven't had a problem since. My starter was also 4 years old so maybe it was on its way out.

Starter on the driver or passenger side of tranny?

What were your final numbers?

My filter was bubbled and crumbling when I took my kit off for engine repairs. I really want to look into aluminum 3" or 4" to the front bumper/fender well. AAM TT kit has an intake pipe right through that area so I would imagine it can work.

I also have a hot start issue but its only on 93 pump gas after some thrashing so I think it is a tune issue, on E85 I have no issues.
