I wasn't sure if you were going with gloss black or not..

Your wrinkle paint jobs look perfect!

Thanks, glad you like it.

The two missing fuel pumps are going out today (Hugh and Rob).


I have had a hard time finding boxes that are over 30" long (due to the down pipe)...two days on the phone, and I finally got something. I will try to pick these up today, get the weight of the kit and send out final balances tomorrow.

On a side note, all packages will go via FedeX, since UPS does not insure packages any more (or for the last 1.5 years or so).

The piping will be sent from Edmonton, right?

I am anxious to hear the reviews about this system on the 370 once installed and has had a few miles put on it. I will be going FI in the next 6 months and I cand decide which direction to but the price of this system is very attractive.

I like the idea of the turbo not being in the engine bay.

Never had FI before so im a complete newbie :)

Well if there was no damn snow here I would be able to tell you first hand. This is by far the worst winter I had, its going by soooo slow. haha

I am just finishing up the install manual tonight, so you get 88 (78 MB's) pages of detailed instructions with larger pictures. This was the last thing on the list of things to do before I can officially start shipping the kits out.

I will be sending the totals out tomorrow. If I have the balances in by Saturday the kits will go out that day....I can see the finish line now.

At least you don't have to dish out another $3,000 for an install, a few more $$$ on an oil cooler kit, larger injectors, big fuel pump and oil pan spacer. :)

I know! We got literally nothing going for us up here, just snow, cold, and dark 18 hours of the day. Atleast most years we got hockey which leads to drinking. That being said I couldn't imagine the heat say in Texas in the summer, I think I would choose the winter over their summer.

The final invoce/emails have been sent. A sample of the 89 page manual, with a lot of large clolor pictures. These were takens with the cell phone, so the quality is sub par:

With the final balances, I never charged anybody for the items shipped from my supplier. The total for that was about $120...my loss I guess. The two Canadian customer paid half of the shipping for one parcel, since it was $225 to ship from the U.S.

I did not think it was fair to add the extra 30% worth of shipping charges to the original estimate.

Thank you, and thanks to all the others that have purchased the kit. Looking forward to some threads here with results and reviews.

The turbos, waste gates, BOV's and spark plugs all went out today...so look for those packages next week.

I'll be taking tons of install photos (with my DSLR) during the install and keeping my build thread updated with progress. :tup:

I don't think you are going to be disappointed..... The first kit that hit the streets last year here in Edmonton was damn near perfect out of the gate! I am predicting a lot of happy customers in the next few months.... weather permitting!

Congrats Sasha! Have a Merry Christmas with your family before you start slaving over the the 350 kits!

I appreciate the info. I need time to convince the wife to let me do it :roflpuke2:

Never had F.I before and therefore need to do some homework.. I'm not going for max power with a built motor but rather a setup that I can daily drive and be reliable.

If you have any queestions about the kit, just let me know.

The kit is very flexible. With the standard 1.0 a/r turbine housing you are good for up to 550whp without much effort. You don't need to run your car at that power level. A 7psi spring in the waste gates will net you high 400's at the wheels with 400ft/tq. That is a good amount of power for the street.

If you want to expand down the road and maybe even build your engine, all you have to do is upgrade the turbine housing. This is a $250 item that can be swaped in a matter of minutes.

The rest of the kit is built to support much more than the stock block can handle. The injectors are plenty large (750cc), as is the fuel pump (340lph)....so these are items that you don't have to worry about down the road.

I want this kit so badly, I have told myself that I would not boost the Z, as I am planning on a cayman very shortly, however this high quality kit may prove more difficult to resist than I originally anticipated.

Sounds delicions... :yum:

I hate to make you repeat yourself, but I didn't see this thread in its early development... You've made a single turbo kit correct? Can you please tell me the benefits of your kit over say a Twin Turbo setup, just so I can compare/contrast... I'm really looking forward to the results, and I'm very pleased with your build quality and customer service. :tiphat:

Singlet turbo, but with a twin scroll turbine housing. This gives you efficiency of a single turbo (more efficient than twin), with the benefits of a twin turbo, where the exhaust pulses between the banks are seperated. With the twin scroll the two banks are seperated untill the exhaust gases reach the down pipe. To take it one step further, the OEM and aftermarket headers have equal length primaries, and this creates the desired scavenging effect, because each combution pulse is seperated from the next. Something a log style manifold simply can't do, due to the design and space constrictions.

The twin scroll will also outspool an open inlet turbine housing every time. This gives it a great advantage over the top mount open housing turbo kits as well.

The only way to avoid pulse interferance (increase efficiency) with a twin turbo is to build a tubular manifold where you have equal length primaries feeding the turbo. Here is a perfect example...R35 kits are now being build with tubular manifold, going away from the log style in order to reach the power levels not seen before:

http://www.extremeturbosystems.com/i...it-2-01-01.jpg

Greddy has also switched from the cast/log manifold and gone to tubular...for the same reason.

So that is one of the big advantages...efficieny.

Price is the other big factor. For starters you will save about $500 with the twin scroll single kit that is capable of producing the same power as a Stage II twin turbo kit. On top of that the twin scroll single kit comes with a complete oil cooler kit ($400 retail) value, larger fuel pump 340lph (vs 255) larger injectors 750cc (vs 600cc) as well as an oil pan spacer ($100) to increase the oil volume by 1qt. So that alone will add up to another $1,000 or so. Some nice clutch/flywheel money.

Simplicity is another thing to consider. No need to pull the engine, get a new washer fulid reserovoir, and removal of many OEM components is minimal. Car can be returned back to stock in a weekend, without ever knowing there was a turbo kit installed. Because of the "bolt on" simpicity the install cost is much less, $1,200 on the single kit, and about $2,500-$3,000 with any twin kit mainly due to the need for engine removal.

For results, you can go the the first post on the first page. There is a dyno sheet posted there.

Do what Mitco said. This thread is full of gold. Right now it is just a turbo kit to you, but if you read the thread you will learn the full details of this work of metal art! Sashas attention to detail and customer service is one of the main reasons I want this kit. Unfortunate for me, im getting married in September, so a turbo kit is at least a year away for me :mad:

I am getting married next year too. Plus I have to spend 6-8k on uniform and equipment cost because of a new career that I just started. Wish my job paid for the cost of uniform and equipment. I would of bought the kit by now. Now I have to wait till around spring maybe beginning of summer for this kit to sit in my hands.

So I got everything packed up....and then my back decided to pack it in. It locked up pretty good, so I am a happy camper at the moment beacuse I am hopped up on robax. Just can't get a break, getting old I guess. So a bit of a delay, but I should have all the packages out on Monday.
