What Sasha said. My car has some funky thing going on with the MAFs. I will update with a new dyno whenever we get that squared away.

i wasnt expecting so much torque at 9psi!

SS_Firehawk 03-09-2013 12:55 PM

Car definitely has a lot left, dyno stopped short of 7k and once those MAF bugs clear up, it should be even more kick arse

wheee! 03-09-2013 04:19 PM

Watching this kit on the dyno is amazing. It is such a fast spooling kit, for turbo, which is wild! Then to see hp and torque flatten out so early at such high numbers is crazy!

It says project 370z not Z. Why do they have all Zs involved? Why not call it project Z. I'm sure the 370z BP could be included.

I know! I thought the same thing - that's crazy amount of torque. I expect my HP number to go up once we figure out what is wrong with the MAF.

Remember...I said that the test car (that made 513whp) still had a conservative timing map. The torque could have been pushed higher, but it is safer to keep it at 400ft/tq and even though the entire RPM range.

Each tuner will push things to a point where they feel confortable, unless asked to go further.

I was seriously looking at the GTM twin kit, but this one is very tempting... seems like it would be more reliable than a TT kit...
less things to break. Or am I just being ignorant? Reliability is a big thing for me, I want it to be as reliable as a nice DD
and be in the 500-550rwhp range on 93. I also really want to hear what this turbo kit sounds like on the street with load
on the engine. I didn't miss a video like that somewhere in here did I?

This kit is as simple and as efficient as you can get, and very capable when it comes to HP. The nice thing is that each component is easily accessible for servicing if needed. You also get to keep the car OEM, because there is not need to drill holes in anything, or remove vital things like the washer fluid reserovoir.

I am sure there will be videos surfacing in the near future as there will be. There will be 7 of these kits up and running very soon.

For what it's worth, the test car made 550whp at just under 10psi of boost...pump gas of course. This tune would have been a bit on the "aggressive side" for a stock block.

Sway 03-09-2013 11:44 PM

Sounds like the right kit for me... I like an aggressive turbo and bov sound, so I'm disappointed the turbo isn't ported,
but that's not a deal breaker. I really like the idea of keeping the car OEM... I've decided to hold off on buying the GTM TT
kit until I see some videos of this turbo set up. Thank for your response man. :tup:

I am sure you will like what you hear. With the F.I resonated exhaust all you hear is the turbo. It really is a great combination of parts.

As for the ported turbo.....I was hoping it would work, but there is just not enough room on the 370z. The 3 bollt header flange is just too large, and hangs very low. The fact that the charge piping coming off the compressor is right there does not help either. The E compressor cover that I use fits just perfect though.

On the 350z I am able to use the SP cover:

On the 350z though, the charge piping is routed very different, since the starter is on the passenger side, and there is a lot of room on the drivers side (don't mind the random color couplers and the squashed air filter, this was still in the test fit stage for the very first twin scroll kit for the VQ's):

Ah yeah I see that... That makes sense.
Just how well you respond and how quickly makes me want to buy product from you.
I'm excited to see a car with this set up rolling now! F.I. was my exhaust of choice in
the first place, so that's good to hear as well... I've never had a setup mounted like this
though... The turbo or none of the piping is gonna hang too low for dropped Z's are they?

No, nothing is hanging low. A dual 3" exhaust for example will hand much lower than anything you see there.

All the components sit above the front subframe.

I would think because of the air filter location that it would get dirty really fast.. Hell what do I know..

Well unless you live on a dirt road you should be fine. My old turbos air filter (STS) was completely exposed and only had to change/clean it every other time I changed the oil.
