I'm in. Let me know when I can order. I like supporting quality work, customer service, also being a Canadian doesn't hurt. :tup:

^^ i'm pretty much 100% as well. is it time to start a waiting list? :tup:

Time for some Boost Mr. Lee to go with your name.:tup:

With my other car down, I've had the boost bug lately to say the least :driving:

Thanks Boosted. You have my attention,:yum: at this rate you'll be taking my money too:happydance:

Subscribed!

No need to drop the motor for any of the kits on the market, but this does look like a great single option.

If you run a TT set up it's been proven that it's easier to drop it.

Easier, yes. Necessary, no.

I had to repost this from the other thread lol. I have not heard one bad thing about Sasha and I have read a whole lot about his kits from customers reviews.

Needless to say I am very excited. I would really like to buy this asap but I have to get my junker 240 going as a daily and save for my wedding :ughdance: One day, one day......

I just drilled and tapped the passenger head lying on my back last night, I know first hand that its more difficult this way, I was just saying its doable.

I knew I would get you and Ron started up. Was hoping for a little more drama though. Should of trolled more.

i am really interested in this kit, would it fit a g37 or do you need a donor car to find out ;)

Doesn't fit auto... beyond that he will probably need a donor...

I can tell you guys that the mid mount kit I build for the 350z's does fit the G35's. Not saying that it will be the same with this kit, but there is a very good chance that it will indeed fit just fine.

What was total cost on one for a 350? :)

well when can i get my hands on one

Complete kit with injectors, fuel pump and Uprev with a 6266E turbo: $5850. This does not included the HPX MAF sensor needed on the 350s' for anything over 400whp.

:icon18:
haha ... really sorry to hear about that :p

I should have my upgrades done and results by the end of May

Sasha, is that offer still open for some minor spot welding on intake pipes?

wow, very good price.

Don't get too excided, 370z will be more. There will be one extra wastegates, one extra BOV, one more intake (charge piping)...that alone is an extra $500 in parts, not to mention labor involved. This kit will also include an oil cooler..ect. Things add up in a hurry.

The exhaust piping is also much more complex with the twin scroll turbine housing vs open T4.

I said before and I'll say it again TAKE MY MONNIES!!!!:nutswinger:

:bowrofl: That is not how I operate. Once it's done, working 100% and I am 100% confident and happy with the entire kit, I will be more than happy to take your money.

BTW, making some good progress today...things are looking very promising. Will post pictures later.

How long will it take to get the kit carb approved after completion?

race cars aren't carb approved.....duh! But in all reality thats a long and expensive process. I wouldn't worry about it, passing inspection shouldn't be an issue w/ proper tune.

It won't be carb approved because it literally replaces your cats. Unless you get some sort of custom exhaust put together with cats after the mid mount turbo kit.

Hmmm should of know that. Noob problems!

I'm not sweating Carb worst case I put the car in my dads name in NY or my name in Nevada or Florida Texas Arizona...idc this is worth the hassle if it becomes a problem here in CA... or even maybe just move... solve the issue all together... haha

Umm, here in CA there is no way you would pass, even with a great tune that put out less emissions than the standard. :shakes head:

eh, i have a buddy who lives in San Francisco with a EVO IX and he does fine passing emissions modded none the less ;)

This is why I love Texas!!! Plus I know peepls

Its called pay the guy an extra amount or have a friend that smogs... but then the only issue you run into is if you get a ticket to go have a state place check you out and you fix it before you bring it. but with this being mid mounted the noise levels from it should be less since it is a single and you wont really be in the boost around town, also for the fmic just get it coated in black.

But on a side not this will not pass any smog what so ever in any legal form.

yea... im sure he passes. Him and his friends the benjimens ;) Either that or he is running stock cats.

AWD vehicles dont get put on rollers, so they sit there and just get reved at least from what i have seen, so it all comes down to visual.

I wonder how it (or any aftermarket Forced Induction kit) would do with the stupid E-test in Ontario, Canada...

I don't think it would pass emissions here either
Very nice system!

I don't think you will find an aftermarket turbo kit for a factory N/A car that will pass emissions in CA.

There is room on the down pipe to put in a catalytic, but what is the purpose of a turbo if you are goig to kill it with a cat.

Looks like we're stuck with the Stillen S/C, eh. Shame... Damn McGuinty.

Back on topic and day two update.

It was a bit of a slow day, and considering I spent a lot of time in the shop, unfortunately not much progress was made. There was a lot of time spent here (on my “thinking chair”):

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6988.jpg

I am trying to figure out the best possible way to get the 2.5” aluminum piping from the turbo compressor to the intercooler, and it is a bit of a PITA. The reason for that is that I am trying to leave everything on the car as is, no moving of sensor wires (clips) no trimming plastic, as non invasive as possible.

I did however manage to find the final resting spot for the PS cooler and the oil cooler. As with the rest, there is no need to open the lines and drain anything, just a simple flip of the bracket on the right hand side of the cooler:

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6985.jpg

Oil cooler is rather simple and straight forward. No magic here:

I did manage to pull the aftermarket headers off the car, and install the OEM’s. This was mainly due to this eventually becoming a production kit. With OEM headers I know that they are perfect, and will be in the same spot on every car. I have noticed that aftermarket headers can differ, and the three bolt flange can either be more forward, or back of where the OEM would be. Same goes for the angle of the flange…you just never know. When they are built, the welding (heat) makes them shrink and move around.


While on the topic of headers, since I have a 350z, I wanted you guys to see how different these manifold really are. It is obvious that there is a huge difference, and that Nissan realized that the 370z should get some decent manifolds


http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6981.jpg

This is where you will see a huge difference in performance, as you can see the 350z header has an outlet of only 1.65” and when throwing boost in to the mix, that is very small:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6979.jpg


Now the 370z exhaust manifold at 2.2”:

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6980.jpg

That is a 50% increase in cross sectional area, and a significant increase of flow.

Side by side:

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6978.jpg

IMO the OEM exhaust manifold are well built, large enough, and there is no need to ever upgrade to aftermarket. I really don't think there is much to gain (if anythig at all).



I did get a bit of work done on the charge piping:


http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...d/IMG_6993.jpg


I am not sure if this will be the way this kit ends up. I also made a section that was oval and the clearance to the tire was a lot better (when steering wheel cranked to the right).

Clearance before going oval:

So tomorrow is another day and I will be right back at this. I also spent some time looking at turbo placement, and realy like the way things are looking on the passenger side. The 370z has a lot more room in that area than the 350z (the pics in the first post). This is good news, and should make the exhaust side of things go rather smooth.

The owner of the car also came, and there was a sense of excitement…much like a 12 year old school girl. He admitted to it too.

Looking good the only issue that i currently see is the tire/charge pipe clearance!

Looking forward to seeing this completed!
