Guys, check the first page of my build thread, GaleForce's Build all the info is there under interior/electronics. I'll be happy to answer any questions there as well.

This kit is by far the best I've seen on the market thus far. Personally I just have to wait for the $$$ to keep building up.

Just buy it. I wish I had two Z's so I can put this kit on the other one. We needed a guinea pig for GTM's twin supercharger kit, so yea... That was a hard decision. It was like trying to choose between Charlize Theron and Kate Beckinsale. Blonde or Brunette, and both smoking hot.

Hard to believe you will be the first with the GTM Twin SC. Hope they give you a discount just to get it out there.

Yeah, a serious one. They are making money on all the other parts they are installing for me too. Like an extra $2,000 in labor from all the stuff I sent them with the car. It's a waiting game now. If it wasn't for the discount, the BP kit would be in my garage waiting for me.

With those two you're talking some serious horse power. :yum:

So you can order this with an option of inlet covers correct? Do you think there is a benefit of going with a ported or drilled cover?

If you are refering to the turbo compressor covers, then there is only one option due to the space limitations.

On the turbine side there are a few to choose from, depending on the HP target. These are the turbine (exhaust) housings available: 1.0 a/r, 1.15 a/r and 1.32 a/r. For a stock block, either a 1.0 a/r or the 1.15 a/r turbine housing is a good option. For those that have built engines, who wish to get well in to the 600whp, the 1.32 a/r is the only way to go.

There is no extra charge on any of these turbine options. You just tell me what you plan to do with the car, and I can help out with the options.

There is also the 67mm turbo, and that turbo is something I would go with if I was wanting to max out the turbo kit. This turbo is rated at over 900hp (93lbs/min of flow) by the manufacturer:

These are all billet wheel turbos as well, and really shine in the 15psi + range.

Sasha, No, Im talking about the shroud. There are solid ones(most common), drilled ones and ported ones. From my research it reduces or eliminates surge and also opens up mid-range. And as a makes the turbo sound more aggresive.

Here is a drilled one.

And ported.

Ok. So after knee-jerking a response I looked at your included link to the 6766. That is a drilled inlet. The 6266 is not. it is a solid design.

Vs.

http://www.precisionturbo.net/Street...T6766-CEA®/480

So I guess im wondering if its wise to do this to the 6266? I know they offer it solid, drilled, or ported on the turbo I currently have, the GT35R.

You can get either turbo with either cover (62mm and 67mm). Straight from the PTE turbo website:


62mm turbo:
• Compressor cover options:
- "E" compressor cover 3.0" inlet/2.0" outlet
- "Ported S" compressor cover 4.0" inlet/2.5" outlet


67mm turbo:
• Compressor cover options:
- "E" compressor cover 3.0" inlet/2.0" outlet
- "S" compressor cover 4.0" inlet/2.5" outlet
- "Ported S" compressor cover 4.0" inlet/2.5" outlet
- "H" compressor cover 4.0" inlet/3" outlet
- "Ported H" compressor cover 4.0" inlet/3" outlet


I have never heard of the "mid range" being an issue to be honest. I have also sold over 40 of these turbo kits with the smaller non ported compressor cove, and have never heard about any issues with compressor surge. The SP (S-ported) covers do flow 3-5% better, and according to the manufacturer this only comes to play above 32psi.

Here is a 350z Dyno with the 6266 turbo and the open inlet .81a/r (equal to a 1.15 a/r divided inlet) T4 turbo, with the E (smaller, non ported) compressor cover:

As you can see, there is no problems here with mid range power delivery. This was also the less efficient mid mount turbo kit, and not the twin scroll I have available for the 370z here.

Vince told me that there was another 20-30whp left in this setup, but since the customer wanted 600whp, the tune was left very conservative and as is. This tune was done on 93 pump gas.



Due to the 4" inlet on the SP cover, I am not able to use it with the twin scroll kit. There just isn't enough room for the air filter, and the piping to fit in such a small space.

Listen to the man..!

Ok.. I see now.

Just brainstorming here. But have you seen what S&R did a while back as a trial for their intake? Which they didnt use as it must have been restrictive. But it was a very small panel filter that attached to the inlet. I was thinking if you took something like a turbo trumpet (inlet horn) and made a cover filter for it that it could work. You would essentially have about a 6" round panel filter. Would this be restrictive?

Lets just say when i did my twin-charge setup i had thought outside the box on just about everything, most of which did not make sense..lol.

Now make a single Variable Turbine Geometry turbo build and make history :D

It wouldnt be all that hard to do, diesel guys have been putting VNT (or VVT) turbos in older trucks for quite some time with good luck. Just need to find a good controller.

No, I have not seen what S&R did, and to be honest it does not matter to me. The proof is in the numbers, and those are posted above. If it works, why fix it?

With the twin scroll kit, this is what you get:

...and you just can't beat having a cone air filter directly on the turbo inlet.





Too bulky.

Oh chit. Yeah that design is as good as it gets. I guess I havent looked at the build stuffed way up under there in a while or never really knew it was a direct connect. That works!

Another thing Id like to add is that it is def. nicer to clean that filter vs. a twin setup where you have to remove the bumper.

I think you will have some issues cleaning that filter, its tucked in there pretty good. Unless Sasha knows something I dont. I think you could get it out by removing the fender well without much trouble I think.

Does it just unconnect and then slide forward to diconnect from the outlet and then slide back beside the compressor and drop out? How DO you clean it? Because I would want to clean it at least once every 3 months. And for those guys in dustier places (phoenix) id say even more than that.

You9u can just slide it forward then back out. I have had mine out for cleaning. I am going to be adding a k&n dry filter on it as well

Ok yeah, then this is much easier. Why are you adding a dry filter or pre filter? Is it because you are seeing a large amount of debris on it? I know i have mine in a vent really low to the ground in my bumper and that thing is black in 2 weeks.

Good to know! Thanks

That's a good idea. I didn't know they made such a thing.

Ya, its in the open so there was a bit more debris on it then I wanted. It was mostly insects, moths ect...

...volkswagons, smart cars, yaris's, civic's...... lol

Squirrels, cats, small children...

Yada yada yada

Bit of an update.....

Going through all the PM's and putting a list of people that are interested in the twin scroll kit...looks like there is 8 of of you that are 100% ready to go, and wanting to put deposits down.

There is also 4 guys that are looking to purchase some time later on in the year, summer/fall.

3 guys on the fence, waiting to see the pricing of the F.I TT kit.

So, I think it is safe to say that I should be building 10 turbo kits in the next couple of months to keep everybody happy, and boosted. I am now finishing up the last 350z turbo kit, and am looking at starting the production of the 370z twin scroll kits in about two weeks.

I will keep you guys posted on the build, and perhaps post a picture or two.

Thank you for all the support.

+1... or i could be one of the 8 i think... ;)

subbed.

Sorry, did not see a PM from you. User name added to the list...total of 9 now. Thanks.

If cost is an issue I'm pretty sure this kit will still be cheaper than any TT kit.

It will always be cheaper than a TT kit when you factor in the installation cost.

On top of that all the extras do add up...larger than standard fuel pump and fuel injectors, as well as a complete oil cooler kit and oil pan spacer. That is a good chunk of change.

This kit includes so much for the price. Your not just buying a turbo kit, your buying alot of the supporting mods too! A huge factor when comparing pricing!

Better then any price, is the smile this kit puts on your face :driving:

This has been brought to you by Master card....because a smile really is PRICELESS :)

Thanks James.

Need some more BP smiles going around... :happydance:

Are you sharpening up your tungstens Sasha? ;)

Hahaha...just bought a brand new box of 2% 1/16" tungsten, and a box of .045" filler rod. I am all set.....

If your using pure tungsten it should be balled not sharp ....

But 2% is lanthanated I think? It's been a while

NO...you want it as sharp as a needle actually. If it is balled/round on the end you have no control, and the arc will wonder on you. That is a no no.

Lol not for pure tungsten but if your 2% ( I think thats lanthanated) I think 2.5 is ceriated. But pure you want ball. I do this as a trade, it's my job.

Lol, yes please tell Sasha how to weld, he obviously has no idea what hes doing.
