What's the price difference between a conversion kit vs a whole new one?

Conversion kit is $2100 shipped.
Tuner kit is $6250 shipped.

Depending on your current setup though you will need additional mods to meet the power of the tuner kit. The tuner kit comes with the upgraded Si head unit, with upgraded pulley setup and belt.

What about the Generation 1 of your kit?

I strongly recommend to open a total new post with all kits, prices and comparisons, so anyone could read directly whiteout all the previous threats of this post.

I have completely stopped producing the Gen 1 kit. I dont see the reason too. Who would want to deal with the headaches it brings, smaller intercooler, gawdy engine bay and less performance?

There should be several used Gen 1 kits going up for sale soon though. ;)

Also, the shop said the straps would be held tight against the cans on the Berk since it sits so low. It's in the shop now. We are removing the rear fenders and side skirts for clearance. Also removing the cans on the exhaust.

Dyno rescheduled for Thursday. Another week of waiting. Sorry guys. Pics for proof.

He was. Right now he has the TurboGuard/FilterWears setup. It can be removed for cleaning as often as necessary and filters out anything that could damage your engine. The problem the way other shops are doing it is that they are using a 3.5" turboguard that goes directly onto the supercharger. That is great if you want to only filter 1/2" rocks from entering the engine. Sand will suck in like a dyson. By placing a sand/dust guard like a filterwears on the 3.5" turboguard it restricts the blower to about 10psi.

My new design places a 6" turboguard over a velocity stack which allows a 6.5" filterwears to be used, creating twice the surface area of intake air.

KN intake makes roughly 12 psi.
This makes 14 psi.

The funny thing is that he had intentions all along to run E85 and we were going to grab those numbers but he said the car is so fast now that he doesnt think he even wants anymore power...Lol. He does/will track the car so he wants to see how/if he can handle the power. I told him he will be back for more..they always are..Lol.

Oh man! This virus needs to go away already so I can go back to work! I need this! Going from your gen 1 to the gen 2! Now eventually I was planning on upgrading to a YSi how do you think that will perform? Will it be a direct bolt to the current set up or I need to modify the bracket to run the YSi

Don't do the Ysi. Do the Jt or Jt-b. Here's a good article explaining why.

Oh, and it's a direct bolt on.

And since this is Topgunz's post and we should stay on topic as much as possible. The Jt or Jt-b will work great with his version 2 system.

Tuner - Eugene Turkov
 
Would also like to mention that I went through Eugene for tuning. Prior to this build, my knowledge around force induction was minimal. Was hesitant with picking a tuner to go with. I'm very satisfied and happy I went with Eugene. Prior to tuning, he took the time to talk to me and explain what he was going to do and explain things I didn't know (pretty much everything lol). His tuning honestly makes the car feel stock but with more power. He explained in detail he was going to tune using speed density. The fail safe that was tuned is awesome as well! Gives me confidence that the motor will be saved if the car start leaning out. His customer service is awesome and he's always responsive when I reach out to him. Definitely happy with the tune and his service.

Forgot to mention the car starts up and sounds normal too! Doesn't have that "cammed" effect others have seen before.

While Eugene didn't tune my car, I've talked to him various times and he's an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guy when it comes to his profession. And on top of that, he's a super nice guy too.

Eugene is a top notch tuner. I work in Dallas and live an a suburb 40 miles away, I daily drive my s/c G mostly in traffic and wanted something that felt stock but when i want to drive it hard it performs as such. I get really good gas mileage too! His tune was SPOT on with my request! Great customer service as well!

so is this the "V2" of your A2A kit? what are the upgraded advantages? it looks like with this set up we are able to utilize the stock manifold and ditch the Stillen manifold.

Animalistic 03-31-2020 08:14 PM

How much of a back log do you have on the V2 upgrade?

When will this kit be ready for sale?
I have questions regarding payment, installation, and parts for this kit.
Thanks

BT370Z 04-15-2020 03:10 PM

Looks epic! Instructional? ETA to market?

TopgunZ 04-16-2020 06:58 AM

There are a few kits out there being installed right now. I owe a few others parts still. The virus is not helping things click along. It has been difficult to get components. For one, I have been waiting on Turboguard to send me the 6" guards for the velocity intake for almost 5 weeks now. I am getting kits built up and sent out and will have a larger inventory in a couple of weeks.

In the mean time I had these intakes and hot pipe anodized. I am thinking about doing this to a few other sets. The cost would be an extra $150. Thoughts?

Or wrinkle black. Imagine some burnt titanium for the piping? Expensive! But well worth it!

G37xMN 04-23-2020 07:48 AM

I would go with the red to match my calipers, looks good!

ABUNAI NISMO 04-24-2020 06:14 PM

Great idea! Looks amazing!
 
Looks great! I would probably go for a gunmetal or black piping! $150 seems more than reasonable too!

I am planning on installing the CJM FRS and Z1 34 row oil cooler this upcoming week. I too, am in preparation for this kit! What is not to love about it and the people behind the build

I already have the 1050X injectors but Aaron has recommended to opt for the 1300CC since I want to use E85 fuel. I have all stock internals and am willing to upgrade where needed. I may just see what happens with installing this kit with the stock TRANS, MOTOR, CLUTCH, LSD

I probably won't use all the power putting out...(I say that now) :excited:

I just passed 500 miles on my motor. I am trying to drive more but it is difficult because of the world now..Keep safe and healthy at home!

Tractionless 04-24-2020 09:20 PM

Any chance at a group buy discount soon?

You'll need to upgrade your clutch. Your 1050's are good for around 600whp on e85. What size fuel pump are you running?

ABUNAI NISMO 04-24-2020 11:11 PM

Pump
 
Walboro 450

I ran 1050's with a walbro 450 up until I got into the mid 600's then I had to upgrade to 1300's and twin pumps.

V8Killers build is going to be a great build to see what this kit can do with the right supporting mods. He wont be able to run E85 but I think there will be a race gas tune in there and some higher boost numbers.

Cant wait to see the results!!!
