as a side question, just cause i have never done FI on a car that wasnt already stock from the factory with a turbo, what would be pointless bolt-ons to buy that FI would just require removing? Intakes, test pipes etc? I would rather not spend money on things that are just going to come off in a year lol

You can buy the F.I exhaust system and that is about it. Don't bother with test pipes, oil pan spacer, anything intake related and oil cooler (included in kit).

Not sure how much the OEM clutch can handle, and how much power you are after, but that may be a good investment.

Thanks for the information... If im going to do it, id like to be around the 400-500whp mark honestly. Very excited for you dyno results obviously for that reason once you get it tuned lol So yeah, i know im definately going to need a better clutch.

I couldn't believe how little he removed, not to mention all the spash shields were left intact. Yes, the crash bar was removed, but this intercooler will absorb as much if not more then the crash bar. The intercooler is nice and beefy

Definitely looking forward to hearing about it.

In for more info!

Have any of you guys ever heard of a Nissan dealership installing and tuning an aftermarket turbo? I took the Z (Zoe) in for an oil change talked to the service guy and we got on the subject of FI. And this is what he told me. But he did say it had to be where GTR were sold in my. Case it would be Lubbock TX. about an hour away.

Well Baker Tuning is part of Baker Nissan... they installed my TT

wheee! 06-16-2012 10:53 AM

I highly doubt any aftermarket hardware and software would be dealer supported....

Viera 06-16-2012 11:46 PM

^I've been told in the past by a few dealerships around my area in Atlanta that if you let them install any aftermarket parts, TT included, that they would cover the costs of any of the parts if damaged. Not sure if you keep the warranty or not... lol

For those that are interested in this kit....

I am sure that a lot of you are anticipating the dyno results and some videos soon, and I hope to have that up on Sunday evening after the dyno tuning has been completed.

Once all that is out of the way, and the kit does what it is supposed to (and it will ) I will start working on the jigs for the exhaust section of the kit. This is the time consuming part, so it will not just happen overnight. The car has been on the road for some time now with the base map, so the kit has some decent miles on it. Everything is working great, so it is just a matter of a proper tune at 9psi before I can put my stamp of approval for the next phase (kit sales).

Once the jigs are built for the exhaust side, I will build the first set of pipes. After this is done the car will come back and I will test fit the piping that comes off the jig. This ensures me that the piping is perfect, and that it will bolt up to all 370z’s just the same without any fitment issues. This is a critical step in the success of a kit.

The intercooler piping and all the brackets are rather easy to duplicate and I have jigs built for those already. The hard part will be the exhaust side.

I hope to tackle this project sometime in September as I have some vacation time coming up, and a few other things to get out of the way before I can really focus on this.

Will this kit work with the stock oil cooler on 2012 370zs? Sorry if this has been asked in this thread already...

So you sent the car to Cali for the tune Jmac?

98intrigue 06-24-2012 08:55 PM

Those numbers are solid! I thought the torque would be a bit higher considering it's a single, but those numbers are great!
