Ive heard of a few people having hot start issues with various FI kits. Seems like the conclusions were tuning issues. Anyone else with this kit have this problem?
|
GTM's kit has the filters behind the bumper in front of the tire. It costs you the washer fluid reservoir but it'll work. Not sure you'd be able to snake a 4" thru there but definitely worth a try.

TAKING ORDERS for winter 2017 turbo kits
Quote:
The V1 kit had the charge piping routed on the passenger side and it was a ************ to install. That piping was only 2.5" and it barely cleared. A single 2.5" pipe is not going to be enough air to feed the turbo. |
Can't wait until these units are up again. I want one
|
I am thinking about maybe an aluminum box to go around the turbski filter that shields upper manifold heated air and ground / dirty water air from getting into it. I guess it would be pulling sideways from where the stock fuel lines come up into the bay.
On a side note I have one other point to discuss. Does anyone else have issues with the driver side charge pipe hitting the little nub on the wishbone and also the nub on the steering rack pinion? I have rub marks like a B. |

Apparently they're have been 2 comp turbo failures with less than 10 miles on each. Don't know if I want this kit anymore....
|
The pipe should have had a round "dent " in that spot for the nub for clearance ....I added a rubber cover over the area as well to protect it from rubbing

Has anyone heard from Sasha? I tried to see when will he be taking orders again. I've finally got the money and I'm tying to get it before i leave for this deployment. With that being said anyone have a rough estimate of how long it takes to get the whole kit shipped?

I sent him a PM a few days ago. Nothing yet.

Gentlemen, I will get back to all that sent PM's in the next few days.
As for the COMP turbos, the come with a full 1 year warranty, and turn around on any warranty work has been nothing but superbly fast, with two-day air reruns to customers. I have honestly never dealt with a manufacturer that has better service than COMP. There are about 30 of them out there on Z cars, without a single issue. As for a heat shield, I'd like to get my hands on a passenger side OEM exhaust manifold so I can see what can be done ... I have some ideas floating around. |
Did anyone ever provide you information/pictures for the CMAK kits to see if the piping could be modified to fit?
|
Bump

If I was to place an order and put a deposit down today for a Tuner kit, what sort of timeframe am I looking at before receiving the kit?
Also, does anyone running one of these kits with a Motordyne system have a video somewhere? Cheers! |

Yes I am very aware of the RHD thing. But from all the material I've been reading both on the forums and in his manuals, the consensus seems that the only thing stopping this is the air filter possibly fouling on the steering knuckle. But from going back and looking at a number of photos when I dropped my clutch and seeing the available space in that nook, I can't help but feel there is still significant room there, even if it's just an inch or two less, surely another filter may fit or modified to fit, or some other frabrication to assist.
Everything else I've seen won't foul on a RHD. So I'm keen to give this a serious attempt. |

"Thank you very much for the pictures, these are great. It is so hard to say if it will fit. I think with a bit of ball pin hammer work on the IC pipe, it will work. This is not a big deal, as the pipes are full 2mm thickness, so there is no worries with massaging the pipe a bit for clearance. I could probably also make that full first section of pipe out of 2.25" tubing, instead of the 2.5". This would also help with creating clearance." Unfortunately I pulled mine off and replaced it with the OS Giken delete, but they are give or take the same size. In this image its hard to see but you can kind of see how to delete kit gets in the way on the bottom left there. http://www.the370z.com/members/zashb...ure98277-a.jpg Tuesday we plan to be cutting back on the second piece of piping a bit & fabricating a small section to fit from there to the first full section after the turbine. As you can see there is plenty of space. So the answer is yes it can be done, with some modification. |
Anyone know if Sasha is on vacation? Saw some mention of that earlier in the thread. Can't seem to get a hold of him.

Yes I'm aware of the differences in V1 to V2 overall design with the charge pipe. I don't think V1 has a snowballs chance for RHD, but the V2 seems plausible to me. But then with the change of Turbos from Precision to Comp, has that affected the mounting position and dimensions? (i.e Turbo Inlet now sits 1/2 inch back or forward, 1/4 inch higher, etc) I can't seem to find any hard facts. Yes I could look up the Turbo dimensions themselves, but I don't know yet if Sasha has altered the flange position to affect Turbo position. Just a lot of questions... I know a couple of local members who are aware of the kit but never gave it a second look because they 'heard it wouldn't fit', but when asked why exactly, I get no response. |

Only one way to find out. Pony up the money for the kit and give it a shot. That's what I did. Nobody knew if it would fit a G37 so I took a gamble. The answer was yes, with a little modification. |
Quote:
Selling my current SC kit with A2A should cover most of the cost. Want to start a thread detailing it all when/if I ever get my hands on a kit, seems Sasha is a busy man lol. |
I'll start taking orders for about 6 kits by the end of September.

Quote:
You said taking orders though, after orders taken, what sort of timeframe is it till delivey? |

|
I'll let you guys know when I officially open the door for deposits.

Is this kit emissions inspection friendly?
