Make sure you take it to a qualified shop when you get it home. Don't just take it out and start romping on it. AAM has had a lot of major issues over the last few years, and the quality of their work has fallen through the floor.

Thanks I'll be careful.

Greddy Twin turbo kit installation
 

Good evening everyone! I have a quick question! who has here installed the Greddy TT kit by themselves!? how long did it take? how hard was the process? I have mechanic experience but I'm just wanting answers before I take my car apart. thank you!

Phunk had one and installed it himself.

If you have mechanical experience shouldn't be a problem as long as you're comfy dropping the motor. Basically a header swap, then adding all the woosh accessories.

Went on the dyno today: 622bhp and 691nm of torque (at the block). 11psi and AAM stg 2 kit on stock engine and 93 octane. Tune by Specialtyz.

Wow, 11psi on stock block and no knock with ordinary dino juice? How?
Impressive!
I am limited to ~6psi due to knock with Shell VPower (98)

You should find a different tuner. I'm runnnig 14psi on a much smaller turbine turbo on 92-93 (R+M)/2 octane which is 96 or 97 Ron (your 98 is 98 ron).

Rene, can it be that you are running a lot of timing? I made a little over 500bhp on 6psi.

You should be easily able to push 10-11 psi and keep a safe margin.

That guy didn't ingest the details of your post. If he did he would've recognized you were tuned by one of the best in the world via remote. Knowing that he would understand that Seb tunes with the interest of safety of the engine and longevity as well as optimal power for what you're working with.
Seb absolutely won't push the limits if he's not hands on with your car on the dyno.......I've tried.

Seb won't, even if it's in his hands unless you really push him to do it.

Lol!! Tell me about it. I've tried all kinds of Jedi tricks and Seb shut me down with logic. The tune may be soft but you know it's safe. And "Soft" is a matter of perspective between people who give a crap and people with 20k in reserve and a builder and block on standby.

Exactly. He explained it real simple for me. Is an extra 30whp worth needing a new motor.:rofl2:

Are you picking on me Al ?

Lol! If I had 5 or 6 puppies laying around I could maybe rock 30psi just to see some sparks.

Maybe, no idea. I make about the same. About 500 bhp at 6psi but that was about the highest before knock would occur at high rpm. Jez at Horsham Development tunes safe and knows a bit about turbo 350Z’s too. My 370Z AAM TT was the first though.
I do realise that our bhp and US whp are about the same. Power is good. I’m just puzzled by the high boost

Forced Induction Finished Builds
 

He probably pulled a bunch of timing. I’m running 11.5-12lbs with the output most get from 9ish. We had to do that to limit the torque it was making. I wanted to keep it under 450wtq and it was a torque making monster.

First pulls were 500/480. We finally got it dialed ‘down’ to 510/440.

Hmm, i already make 435 tq with my tune at around 3700rpm. But at this point boost is up to 8psi instead of mentioned 6psi (at peak power). Hence, i’d acrually not want any more boost anyway, right?

I’m not familiar with tour setup, so I can’t say. I have a BP single kit, which a single makes torque for days. I also have the P6266 turbo and not the new oil less turbo. A TT is a little easier to dial the torque in. Key is to find a good tuner and tell him exactly what you are looking for in your tune. If you trust him, which you should if he is tuning a $15-20 turbo build, then let him work it out and don’t worry about how much boost you are running.

I finished this FI build with the old GTM kit, here are the results! Tuned by me, on 93 octane. Ran out of fuel uptop so unfortunately had to limit rpm.

This is with a returnless fuel system and 700~ cc injectors.

Yeap, more timing creates more cylinder pressure and more TQ.

And heat, can't forget heat. That's when the machine starts to get weak and everything starts to fall backwards like a runaway nuke meltdown.

It is where you place the heat. Less timing, the EGT's are going through the roof and the heat in the turbo is more. More timing, the heat is in the cylinder with more cylinder pressure. It is a trade off and a fine line to walk.

I looking to DIY an ice water intercooler spray utilizing another set of windshield wiper jets and second reservoir in the hatch.. going to test and see what happens :yum:

Looking to get some ABS sheets and make a semi-full body undertray based off the gtr underbody with naca cooling cutouts...

Dif cooler and upgraded dif cover needs to happen at some point... may mount the cooler behind the license plate.

Transcooler also... may haedline it too the dif junction and run a second cooler behind the license plate.

Engine build is a wishlist item... after the stock block starts to get tired.

BC-DS coils after the OE suspension on swifts has had enough :)

And whatever elase comes to mind :happydance:

Anyone in here over the 1k whp mark?

No, very few have ever made it (4) and only one is still running.

Do you know who the one person is that's still alive and running?

SOHO's shop car Nismobae. That's it at the moment.

And what's your excuse? :stirthepot:

989.5whp is not 1000whp....... I may not make it. All good. Whatever.

:drama:

Gotcha. I tried reading your car build but started to skim through it more than actually read through it.

When you were tuning your car, how hot was it for ya before everything started to throttle due to heat?

For those folks who did hit these power goals and didn't make it to see another day, were they all owned by their heads lifting?

Was that the issue everyone was running into?

Yeap, heads lifting. It was 92 deg. ambient on the dyno that day. When going above 25psi of boost the IAT's started to climb. Read the whole thread, start to finish. It will take you about 3 weeks. Watch the videos. That is where the good stuff is.

Al tried to connect me with you but he said you were to busy.

I broke over 1kwhp and have been beating the hell out of the car. I built the car back in 2012 and got it 99.99% operational and running. He said we should chat.

Work and wife have me crazy busy. You can ask questions on my thread. It's OK.

sounds good

Start a thread and share your build. Most folks don't last long at 900whp much less 1000whp. It would be nice to see how yours is built. Share with us if you don't mind.

Alright. I'll do a write up about it. Give me a moment please.
