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 :) |

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. |
My wallet just got up off the table and ran out of the room. Sneaky bugger. :rofl2:

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. :) Quote:

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:

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. |
Final payment SENT!
Bring on the boost! :driving::happydance: |

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. :stirthepot: |

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.

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: |

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. |

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.
