This looks amazing.

I'm the 652hp g35 build from Boosted Performance. I have a 6765 turbo on the midmount kit. If sasha wants i can post up the dyno but my twin disk OS giken let go on the dyno right at 652 hp so i didn't get to push it to the limits. I made that power on 22psi as well. I have a carbonetics triple disk clutch in the car now but haven't had a chance to get back on the dyno due to all the time i'm spending in the clinic. I'm planning on running about 30psi so conservative upper 700's to the wheels.

Sasha is the best person I've ever worked with in this industry and goes out of his way to help any customer.

^^ Where did you get the kit installed? Was it here in STL!? I'm not sure where I'll go to get this installed/tuned... perhaps ET Tuning?

I would love to meet up and see this firsthand if you're still in town!

^Binder, likely completed the install himself as well as the tune..
IIRC, he builds race bike engines and is an all around FI library.
Def a solid guy to seek advice from..

Good to see you over here Binder:tup:

Your car with the BP mid mount kit is a beast

All of my customers (30+) with the mid mount kit have installed the kits by themselves. The 370z kit is even easier to install than the 350z mid mount kit. I really put the emphasis on simplicity when I build these kits, making installs a breeze.

This is where the big savings come in when comparing this to twin turbo kits.
Even if you take this kit to a shop, i can't see it being over 10 hours to install, so about $1000. It goes together like Lego, because there is nothing to drill, tap, cut, bend or modify on the car itself.

Like with the mid mount kit, each pipe end is labeled telling the installed where it goes. Same thing goes for the oil lines, each will have a label at each end telling the installed where it is to go. The scavenge pump will come already mounted on the plate, with fittings installed. Same goes for the oil filter relocation. So, one could say that some of the kit comes somewhat pre-assembled.

:tup:

I got with a local shop and had them look at this thread and asked to get me an estimate. I gota $1200 price. I would gladly pay that just to know that it was done by professionals these are the same guys that did my TP's. Now all I need is a place to tune. I contacted J-Tran out of Houston just have to get the car down there. Sasha would it be ok to drive 8 hours on a prelim tune or should I ship when all this goes down.

That price sounds about right, some may do it for less. I would expect the quotes to come in at about $1000-$1200 for a complete install.

The base map I have here seems to be working very well for out of boost driving. So I would be ok with saying that it is ok to drive the car to a tuner.
J-tran is a good choice for tuning, those guys know what they are doing...and have a lot of experience with the VQ. Great shop from what I have seen on the forums, and heard from others.

I am trying so hard to wait for this :)

I think that once you see the dyno results that you will have not problem waiting just a bit longer for this.

Can I track with this or will my oil temps go through the roof even with my 25 row oil cooler? Also, how bad of a hit on mileage do you think we'll take with this kit?

You will be fine with the oil cooler.

As far as mileage goes, it is directly proportional to the weight of your right foot.

I think you will find that your oil temps will go through the roof with any kit even N/A.

Is there pricing on this kit yet? Do you have a website?

assuming driving style doesn't change (as a control, thought it probably will), would mileage change with a turbo?

^No website as of yet, reference previous pages for price discussions, however no solid pricing has been provided, only estimates.

If you stay out of boost, there should be very minimal difference, however it all depends on the tune, the tuner gets control the amount of fuel being put into a cyl at a given set of conditions.

In theory if driving style stays constant your mileage should go up because your engine more efficiently makes power.

I am not properly tuned yet, but cruising on the highway I saw a huge jump in economy

Thats just means your mpg gauge is not longer accurate due to the larger injectors. Turbos will not improve mpg.

:iagree: My MPG gauge shows an average of 36mpg now after my TT install haha. I wish that were the case!

However, when I stay out of boost (as much as I can control myself), I average about 22mpg mixed (about 80/20, highway/city) which is about what I got stock. Fuel economy with turbos is all about how you drive!

Once I get a taste of boost I will not be able to stay out of it. lol. Guess I better get some stocks in oil.

Ha you are very right! It is addicting! The feeling, the noise, it is car guy crack.

I used to be the crew chief for my buddies 9 second boosted civic. Damn I miss the sounds, the pull... I'm jonesing! :excited:

Once these kits are ready to be sold to the public, what's the estimated turn-around time from order date to delivery? I'm assuming they will be made to order?

I'm definitely interested as long as I don't have to wait 2 years to get it. :D

When you change injector size the OEM fuel consumption readout is no longer accurate. The only way to truly measuer consumption is the old fahion way.

Out of the 30+ turbo kits I have built for the 350z, the longest my customer has ever waited was 3 months after placing the deposit.

Usually it is much less than that.

I plan on stocking up this fall/winter and hope to have a lot of kits ready to go. I also follow an extensive packing list so there is never any parts missing.
If for whatever reason something is missing, it goes out to the customer using 3 day UPS service. I have not had to do this yet.



Also, it has been confirmed that the shop install estimate for this kit is from $1000-$1200 if one chooses to have a shop install this. This is a savings of about $1300-$1500 over a TT kit. These margins also apply when it comes to any kind of repair/service/maintenance work.

Sasha did you look into being able to send the FI 3" exhaust with your kit?

I have not, and IMO it is not needed especially on a stock block.

Just an FYI on the kit, we had to cut down an align key but you CAN do the transmission flush with the turbo on. No need to remove anything :tup:

Already ordered my F.I. exhaust I can't wait until I can place my order for this kit...I dream about it at night.

I been lurking this thread. Not posting much or anything at all. I'm truly impressed with your explanations and attention to detail. You obviiously take alllooooot of pride in your product. I was fixated on a twin turbo build but... I'm considering this now.... :)

Quick question though. I have an auto and plan on doing the transmission reinforcement kit to make my car able to withstand the added pressures of a turbo. Would this kit in some way be hard to mount to an automatic transmission optioned car??

^will not fit on auto, sadly

Correct.

In the future, I will see if I can get my hands on an auto, and go on from there.

^^^^ yea this is very unfortunate. I asked about this a few weeks ago. So i went another direction.^^^^^

sent from my SAMSUNG SINGLE TURBO SGH1717

Sounds like my car is going to Canada... ;)

Oh, so the current kit won't go on auto at all, well i guess that saves me some money then

For now.

Damn..this is one sweet kit!
No exhaust manifolds to swap...turbo mounted under car..top notch piping!
OK...I want this for my HR...shouldn't be a problem. Just wondering if turbo pipes will bolt up to HR headers same as 370?

Can you hook up your stock exhaust to your headers? If so then the answer is yes.

I guess HFCs would be the same for HR and 370Z..so that's all that matters.
That would mean you could bolt up this kit to either as well.

I know that the headers are the same. I am 98% sure that everything else is as well, so yes, in theory this would bolt up to the HR 350z's.
