I know I shouldn't, but it is so tempting.

All I got left on my list is Tires, everything else is sitting on the shelf waiting for me to find the time to install it. I will probably pull the tires off and take it to a shop so they dont have to drive the car, lol.

i dont see using a credit card as problem if your responsible
i dont do cash at all i have very low interest credit cards
i put my kit on my credit card and paid my credit card off in 2months with points

now with that said never ever buy anything with your credit card that you cant pay off in a month or 2

The thing is, it is no interest for 18 months. Worst case scenario, I sell a stock and pay the entire thing off. I wanted to take advantage of the 18 months no interest. The problem is, I do not like debt. In fact, I still owe about 14k on the Z. I'll probably have the Z paid off in about a year, maybe less. This and starting a new carrier are the biggest reasons I did not even buy a turbo kit yet.

Take the cc and pay off the Z IMO unless you have 0% financing. Sasha will be around for a while.

not sure i would use a credit card to pay off a car note lol
i mean if your getting a good rate on your car loan why put it on the card
a maxed out or close to max out card never helps your credit

I think it was more of the point that you have 0 interest on the card as opposed to the interest your paying on your loan. In terms of saving money it makes sense, it also will help your credit rating significantly once its paid off.

If he has 14k on a car loan or 14k on a credit card, its a liabilty regardless and should not make that much difference on your credit score. As long as he's making higher than minimum payment on the credit card which he should be able to afford when getting rid of a car payment, it will actually help improve his credit rating. The main point of doing it this way is he could save hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars depending on interest rate on the car

back to the turbo.....

this is why I can't get my homework done for college.. twin scroll oil cooled downpipe torque conversion whp maddness... you guys are making me hungry. Hungry for some WHP!!!

I really like what I am reading and I agree that the exhaust would be no problem. I have the greddy TI-C and I am not getting rid of it for anything. So being a turbo noob I am wondering do you need special test pipes or just regular old test pipes?

I really like the single turbo bolt on solution. The thing I didn't see here is any type of intercooler (maybe in the begining of the post, I started at 80+). I am guessing no. But it could still be added right? And it should help performance/power/boost... even if it is a smaller one like the RB intercoolers in the corners of the bumper.

I did an RB build single turbo (think it was a T26) and I dont remember getting any crazy pipes for the exhaust. I do remember cranking it up the first time and seeing train smoke come out of the exhaust (F'd heads). Just trying to get spun up on all this turbo stuff.

Thank you and good night!

It comes with a Large vertical flow intercooler (25”x9”x3.5” core)

Check out the price and parts list here Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: Boosted Performance

This is a complete solution. About the only thing you may want is a boost controller, maybe a larger oil cooler if it's driven hard often.

As mentioned, the FMIC is there, and plenty large:

I just went through all the PM's and replied to those who expressed interest in the spring batch of single turbo twin scroll kits.

If you have not got a PM please send me one with the title "turbo kit spring list". If you got more than one PM..sorry.

I am just looking at ordering flanges/piping..ect and it would be nice to know how much stuff I need to order.

Hey sasha, Just wondering if you ever got around to seeing if the Momentum headers with a new flange would work with the kit yet?

Just had a chance to check on that, and it does not look like it will work. The 370z turbo manifold would sit too low for some reason.

On a side note, I may be able to start fabrication on the next batch of kits sooner than anticipated :).

How low is too low? Like an inch lower? or a few inches low? Wondering if a good exhaust shop would be able to bring it up....This is a heartbreaker :mad:

This is the 370z manifold that I had a look at on a set of VQ35 set of headers. A VQ35de manifold should fit just fine though, with proper clearances. In other words, a 350z twin scroll kit manifold should work just fine.

so if i use your manifold from the 350, in theory it should work? itll tuck up the same and all? what about the intercooler piping and what not?

AT AT AT AT AT!! :tup:

:icon17: :p

Lookin forward to more pics. :yum:

:bowrofl:

If I can get a donor car this spring I will get on it for sure.

If you've got a beater you don't mind sending south of the border, I'll ship mine to you hell, let's get this ball rollin. Kick that guy in the nuts!

:bowrofl:

how long will you need the donor car?

Two weeks at most. I already have a plan on how I would go about it. Everything on the kit stays the same except the manifold feeding the turbo.

sent u pm

... already anticipating the Boosted Performance Passenger Seat Mount Twin Scroll AT Turbo kit!!!

any input on this sasha?

The 350/momentum headers line up differently IIRC

It is hard to say to be honest. In theory, a set of VQ35 manifolds should work on the VQ37 with a set of DE manifolds, but that is the theory...

IMO the OEM 370z maniflds are great, and will support all the power you can throw at it.

So I tried something today with regards to the 350z manifold inquiry. I took the 370z down pipe that bolts up to the turbo outlet, and the second section that I built to make this kit compatable with the OEM exhaust, and bolted it up my own 350z...this section:


370z:

The same pipes on my 350z (exuse the stick, it is just there to hold the turbo up while I check clearances):

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...9341518502.jpg

It was a perfect fit, and the turbo sat just where I would want it...same location as on the 370z.

This makes me think that a 350z twin scroll turbo manifold would indeed bolt up to a set of DE headers on a VHR engine.

Thought I share that..I was a bit suprised. The axle back exhaust flanges on the 350z and the 370z are in the same location.

That is great news for a lot of folks. Awesome. If the 7AT can work with whatever you design for it, you may have more business than you know what to do with.

Too late :), already there.

I am up for an awesome promotion at my day job as well, so this will remain as a side venture.

Congrats on the promotion. And thanks for your contributions this far!

Honestly......this made me tear up from so much happiness lol :happydance:

Just an update for those interested in this kit. Here's a short video of the first start up after I installed the Boosted Performance turbo kit.



This was installed by myself (I have very limited automotive experience) in my garage with the car on jack stands using basic hand tools. Like Sasha has said earlier in this thread, if you can install HFC, you can install this kit. Installing my gauges was harder/more work than installing the turbo kit.

The car started first try and I only had one small leak on a pre-installed fitting. Easy fix. If you are at all worried about tackling this on your own, don't be.

Hey GaleForce

BIG respect for your own installation!

Good luck for the rest of the process

May the force be with you

Best regards from the other side of the world
Ivo

Hey GaleForce could you help me identify the 3 specific Defi gauges you use for the stock location(they look sweet by the way), i could only make out the Oil Pressure one and the one on the left side? And were did you got them? Thanks

Great video too! :tup:

Thanks :tiphat:

PM'd you.

Awesome job!!! And gale force can you pm me those gauge part numbers also
Thanks :)

Ditto on the info Re; the aftermarket gauges, thanks.
