He is on his last family camping trip. I believe his intent is to start production when he is back

I have never enjoyed reading through 54 pages straight on a forum in my life. This looks like a very thought out kit. I have REALLY been leaning towards going with the GTM stage 2 kit, but your kit looks just as nice. I would opt for open dumps because i want to be heard, but thats just me. Have you thought about a final price yet for your kit?

Thank you, the kit is simple and works very well. For power it is on par with the TT kits, with a larger fuel system and half the install cost.

The price with a complete oil cooler kit will be around $7300. This is a saving of about $1100 over the TT kit when you account for the oil cooler and better fuel system. This is a complete kit with UpRev, 750cc injectors, 340lph fuel pump...ect. Open dump will be a bit cheaper, and if you already have an oil cooler even cheaper. The install is also about half the price, not to mention that it is a straight forward DIY install.

If you have any more questions just let me know.

JMac88 09-12-2012 11:20 PM

Sasha, you should point out its the tuner version of uprev, not just the Standard

GaleForce 09-13-2012 07:57 AM

^^^ this kit really does include everything you could need. :tup:

I need to buy everything except for the Uprev. I already have the standard version, it would probably be cheaper for me to buy the upgrade to tuner from Uprev.

I read in my Rx8 days some of the guys used the Boost-A-Pump to keep fuel temperatures under control. Do you think with such a big pump that this would be necessary? Below is a copy-pasta of the Boost-A-Pump info and link:

Boost-A-Pump

Quote:

A time tested and proven Kenne Bell innovation, the BOOST-A-PUMP™, powers some of the world’s most powerful production street and competition vehicles. The 800HP Shelby Super Snake, one of the World’s Fastest Production Sport Cars, the 242+mph 806HP Koenigsegg CCR, the dual turbo 1100HP Lingenfelter 427" Corvette 900HP Mr. Norm Dodge and 650-825HP RPO Camaros and, of course, all the legendary Kenne Bell kits can use the BOOST-A-PUMP™ to reliably produce those big HP numbers - on pump gas! It activates only at full throttle or boost, so it doesn’t “bloat” or “overload” the fuel system at idle or cruise where full time pumps and extra fuel are not required. So, the fuel isn’t heated (gasoline begins to boil at 87°). No “cool can” is necessary. And it’s much easier to install (cut one wire) and more reliable than fuel pumps. And since the BAP is also a voltage regulator (exclusive kb) it helps prevent engine damage from low voltage/ reduced pump flow during electrical overload or failure. It will attempt to stabilize the pump voltage and maintain sufficient fuel flow.


Wasn't sure if you saw this. I'm just curious if you think this is a benefit of not?

BTW...I never considered boosting via turbo until I saw this thread. So conflicted lmao! Great job!

Yes it would be cheaper. Things like EMS can be taken out of the kit to bring the price down.

The kit comes with a 340lph fuel pump (not a 255lph like the other kits) so there is a lot of fuel even for built engines. One could run the fuel pump off of a relay with heavier gauge wires, triggered by the OEM fuel pump power supply. This would reduce the voltage drop across the smaller OEM wires, and improve fuel pump output. I would not do this unless you are going with the large 67mm billet turbo on a built block.

My curiosity was more to do with fuel temperature.

This kit will be the first coming from the jigs, so once the fitment ins confirmed, full production will starts. At the same time I don't have to take things off from the donor car, and it will also ensure that my instruction manual is up to par so anybody can install the kit.

I love supporting vendors like you! You actually care about your quality, your customers, and your business. Keep up the great work! :tup:

NitrousZ34 09-13-2012 09:00 PM

Sasha, how big is the oil cooler? Sorry if i missed it but is it the 34 row cooler? Also, how much hp is the IC rated for? Since i would want the open dumps, and im sure others would want to know the same, how much would your kit be with everything, but with open dumps instead of the recirc wg? Sorry for all the questions.

The oil cooler will be 30 row with a core measuring 11"x9"x2", so plenty of cooling even for those that are in the deep south.

FMIC specs:

Core Size, 25" X 9" X 3.5"
Overall lenght 28"
1-3" outlet and 2-2.5" inlets
1950 CFM flow rate
1300 HP efficient

Again plenty of cooling and room to grow. This is a vertical flow cooler as well and this means better flow than a horizontal FMIC, and lesss pressure drop.

With open dumps the kit would be roughly $7100, that is with the 750cc injectors and large 340lph fuel pump.

asdfsammich 09-14-2012 12:16 AM

Wow, such a clean design.

:yum:

BlkNismo 09-14-2012 12:23 AM

will you be able to provide an option to have a high flow cat welded into your downpipe with this kit? (100 cell)

NitrousZ34 09-14-2012 02:29 AM

Thank you for the quick responses. This may be a dumb question but why did you go with a 30 row instead of a 34 row? I dont know the real cooling difference between the two so you probably based this off of what you thought would work better. Is there any relation to how big your oil cooler is, to the amount of hp it allows you to have?

98intrigue 09-14-2012 11:13 AM

Maybe I'll sell the Viper and get a cheap 370Z and throw this kit on it?:stirthepot:

To be honest even a smaller 16 row oil cooler will do just fine. Unless you are taking the car to the track all the time, there really is no need for a massive oil cooler. Even the 30 is huge.


The 16 row I put on James's car is 16 row 9.5"x9"x2" core, and it is keeping his oil temperature rather low. I am sure he can chime in since he sees the gauge every day.

wheee! 09-14-2012 01:10 PM

This kit will kick serious butt on the road. It is clean, quiet and super strong. I thought it ran flawless thru the dyno testing and sounded incredible. Super easy plumbing and simple install make this a win.

Ease of install alone makes this kit superior to most everything else. The pure artwork of the welding is just gravy... :leghump:

If I was in the market for boost, this is DEFINITELY the kit I would go with.

Kudos to Sasha and James for pioneering this kit.

Sorry I missed this one. It is possible but it would have to be a compact catalytic converter.

In progress...looking at completing the jigs in the next two weeks. At that point another customer will be in for a turbo install. At that time I can also confirm that the jigs are 100% good, and that the pipes that come off of it (the jigs) are fitting well. This is just another one of those steps that needs to be taken to ensure quality and fitment.


I have been talking to Vince@r/t regarding base maps for the turbo kit. We feel like we can provide a solid map to get you guys rolling and on the road right after the install. The map is based off of the test car, and of course will be a bit more conservative because of the different fuels that people will end up using in different parts of the country. So all your maps will come from the best UpRev tuner around...and that is another step in making this a great option for those looking for boost. Of course it is always a good idea to strap the car on a dyno to verify that all things are working well, and as they should.

I have also been working with Tony at Fast Iintentions and it looks like the F.I dual 2.5" exhaust will be available for purchase from me, only with the purchase of a turbo kit. We also talked about getting a non resonated exhaust with the kit since the turbo will act as a large muffler to quiet things down. I know that with the test car the exhaust is very quiet, so with the resonators out it will allow for a bit more agressive sound for those that prefer it.

So, things are looking good, and I am very excided to work with Tony at F.I and Vince@r/t to bring the community a great single turbo kit.

I have ordered enough hardware to build 6 kits to start, so full on fabrication will start shortly.

Time to start the OFFICIAL list of people that are serious about purchasing the kit.

oro 09-20-2012 08:35 PM

Very very interested, although I have a G, everything should hook up pre-exhaust? I know you mentioned it earlier but it's a little hard through my phone.

sfearl1 09-20-2012 10:42 PM

Sasha, I know I asked you this a while back, but it looks like you're moving along here ahead of schedule. Do you think a kit can be here by November 9th-ish? Seb and Greg are making a trip to my neck of the woods for a tuning trip that weekend. That would be a motivating factor for me to purchase this kit asap.

I don't see any reason why this would not bolt up to a G37 with a manual gearbox.

I am sorry but I just can't make that date. It will take a week in transit alone...and I would not want to tell you yes, you book/pay for tuning and the kit is not there on time. At the same time I really want to make sure that everything that goes out is 100%, and that the installs are as easy/simple as possible.

I will never tell a customer that I can deliver something say in one month when in reality it will take two....just not how I operate. I hope you understand and still end up buying a BP turbo kit when it is available.
