Twin turbo 370z Price

Another bit of advice is if you have to ask, then it's to much. Not trying to be smart.

There is no such thing as a reliable turbo kit when installed on a NA vehicle.....make sure you know what your getting into or just stay out of it all together.

Not judging but based on your posts you sound like a novice....in which case you have a lot more to learn than just the price of the kits.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a reliable factory set up either. The latest example is my former beloved STi's, before that MSP's, and on and on. While they may be "more" reliable, there is still a risk. It just feels better because it comes with a warranty.

Aftermarket turbo kits often have small, stupid problem from time to time. Such as hose couplings coming loose or intercooler piping vibrating against something. They are easy fixes usually, but in general, adding a kit like that is basically adding several new potential failure points that didn't exist before. It's not that it's unreliable, but rather that there are more things that could go wrong.

Obviously a solid install is key in minimizing this, but it's also the reason why aftermarkket turbo kits should only be installed once the owner of the car is somewhat mechanically savvy. You do not want to be running (or towing rather) back to a shop just to fix some little issue that could have been done in your driveway in 5 minutes. I exprerienced this the hard way many moons ago. Seeing as you have time, spend it by learning about how the system works as well as from other people's experiences. It'll save you a great deal of headache in the long run.

Good Luck!

How many of you saying that all aftermarket kits have problems actually have either one of the twin turbo kits mentioned? I would agree with your statements to some degree on other platforms, or if we were talking about some cheap ebay kits here. I mean i have seen cars that blow IC pipes off all the time. They usually have cheap clamps, no beads, no brackets, or don't have proper flexible couplers to accommodate the engine movement. There are numerous other similar issues i have seen with other platforms, that i have never seen or even heard about with either kit mentioned here.

Not to be pedantic, but the GT-R is actually classed as a clutchless manual transmission, not at automatic. Same goes for the PDK.

clutchless manual transmission...but the fact is to get the car to move forward, you just dump it into 'D' and use the flappy paddle gearbox, right? seems automatic enough.

edit: huh...i guess semi-manual transmission is the correct way to call it.

You can't really compare an normal auto trans to one of those.

Now Chris, you know this is the internet and using logic/facts is not allowed.

this is an open warning to ANYONE who attacks another member. If you don't like someone's response, report it. Don't attack back. If you can't follow this simple instruction, I'm going to mass (temp) ban people. This is not your typical trolling/attacking forum. Save those for other Z forums.

The delta is anywhere between ~3-5k-ish, but the fun factor difference is priceless.....

Anytime you add FI to any car you will need additional cooling capacity for just about every fluid in the vehicle!!

BTW, an added plus is that I get an additional ~3mpg and ~200Whp with a TT set-up!!! How about that!!

At the minimum, you'll need just an oil cooler. So figure in $8k for the Stage 1 TT and about $6500 for the Stage 1 SC with oil cooler. Labor charges for the SC is cheaper than TT. So be looking at under $11k with the TT kit professionally installed and tuned.
