Twin turbo 370z Price

SPOHN

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

i see2, thx guys.

don't get me wrong i'm not planning to get it any time soon, some time far in the future perhaps hahaha.

ok so TT is mighty expensive. what about superchargers then? are they less costly at all?

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.

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.

ok thx, but guys u havent answered my previous question.

For all you 370z owners who had their Z turbocharged or supercharged:

What is the total price difference between an SC and a TT, for the kit + installation ( i hear TT's take way more time to install) + all other parts u need ( u guys sed TT need a whole lotta other mods such as oilcoolers, exhaust etc.) A ballpark price wud be great thx ;D

thank you very much.

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.

haha oh crap... thats a lot of power
but theres a large difference in price as well.
Im almost there for the SC but still far off for the TT. i think ill go with the SC

Thanks ppl

I am in the same boat as you, only a few K off from TT though I am looking at a 15K build. I can't say I haven't thought about going SC now instead but l find myself being drawn more to sticking it out for TT.

For what it's worth, I say take price out the decision making equation and go on performance, (practical) reliability, etc. It may be worth it to wait to get what you really want. This is a BIG step to swap out of later. Just my opinion.

^ Nice! Let us know how it goes. I thought long and hard about SC as well, and you will get plenty of useful low end response. I want TT for the sake of matching up with my dad's 300ZX TT. It'll be a fun one

i don't think price alone justifies a decision as large as forced induction. there's more at play than that. you have to consider what you want out of the car, the maintenance, etc. etc. and that's just grazing the surface of it all.

while the SC may be cheaper, it may not fulfill what you WANT out of the car.

think very carefully about it first, instead of just going for the cheaper alternative. then you'll be able to have a car that you don't regret, instead of "hmm wish i saved for the turbo" moments.

tl;dr version - frostyrock7c hit it on the money
