Twin turbo 370z Price
 

hi im the biggest noob in this forum. I have a stock 370z right now.
My dream is to turbocharge my z and i am currently saving.
How much is probably the total price for installation+service+ the turbo itself?

I just want to know if my dream is possible or not. thanks

These prices are ball park so dont freak out people if I do not have it to the penny. The cheapest TT kit I believe is the Greddy kit which will come on around 7-9k installed. I would go with GTM though and that one is around 15k installed.

GTM is a better kit over all then the greedy. I will give you a better total tomorrow of everything including labor and all, just tired right now and time for bed.

I think that the Greddy is probably closer in price to the GTM kit when all is said and done but that is just speculation on my part. I have heard good things about the GTM but have not heard much good or bad about the Greddy.

do you mean better as in faster, or better as like it wont cause problems for the car?
thx guys

There are so many variables when looking at a twin turbo price that I would be difficult to get a accurate price.

For the most basic kit, either Greddy or GTM, I believe you would be around $10,000 installed. This does not include an oil cooler, exhaust or clutch.
That will put you at around 450ish whp depending on the tune. If you want more power then you need more money.

This is merely a basic overview of what I have found while doing my own research into TT kits for our cars.

If you are serious then you need to figure out what your goals are for power and then call some shops.
That is the only way you will get a accurate estimate.

If you do it right, you are going to come in around $15K. Its important to get better exhaust and an oil cooler if you want max power and your car to last. I dont know much about the Greddy kit but can say for sure the GTM kit is GREAT!

A good tune from a reputable shop makes a BIG difference on the TT kit. Do your homework before you dive in.

Greddy kit is going to run you about 1-2k more and you will need to by blowoff valves if you want to have that turbo BOV sound. Either way both good kits, I would say GTM is better and has a better price. you're looking at 10-11k for just TT kit and tune for GTM 11-12k for Greddy. My total for TT kit , install , exaust, and test pipes came out to $10,900

Well said :iagree:

I think I paid more then you guys lol

The greddy TT kit with test pipes, exhaust, bov(2), tune and install will run 10800. Thats a little less than GTM

I'm going to say 15k for doing it right with supporting mods. Both kits are great. But the GTM is more appealing. Greddy need to bump it down some. There price went up from the 350 and they don't even include engine managment. In which the e-mange was worthless anyways.

in the GTM website and checked the turbo kits for the 370z, there were 3 different types. one that said (turn key), one (tuner), and one (setup). what do these mean. and they are like around 5000-7000ish, while greddy cost 9000. so i assume gtm is cheaper and better?

You want the turn key, it comes with BOV, headers, and so on. U will still need exhaust upgrade, boost controller, oil coolers, and gauges. I have been looking at prices and talking with Z1 motorsports on doing a GTM stage 4 build and they said it be between $16-18K

The best advice anyone can give you is to budget $20k for Forced Induction. Either a stage 1 or stage 2 kit from GTM. This will include all your supporting mods and some insurance money in case things go south. Each motor is different. Case in point I blew a stock car's stock motor... Sent a rod through the block!

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

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.

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.

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.

:iagree: 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.

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 :D :D:D

thank you very much.

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!!

if you are getting 3mpg more with a TT kit the im not sure you are enjoying it to it's fullest. ;)

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 :D

^ 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 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.

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 :tup:

Not untill the Trans gets built my friend!! :driving:
