There is a lot of air moving around there so the heat transfer would be minimal at best.

unless you beat on it then sit in 90 degree heat in traffic, no? that cant be good for the transmission. do you have alot of your turbo kits on cars say in texas or florida?

Well, I have an EGT (exhaust temp. gauge). I can beat on the car and get the temperatures up to 1300*F, but by the time I roll to a stop, temp. will fall down to 850*F. Let it idle for 30 seconds, and it goes down to 700*F. The EGT sensor is right at the header, so by the time the exhaust goes down to the turbo it will be a lot cooler than that due to the heat exchange in the piping.

I do have customers down in the southern U.S where it does get very hot. It is simply not an issue at all.

I also have one customer who really beats up on the car (build motor as well), autocross, drag, top speed events..ect. Not a single issue, and this is with an already crappy 2004 350z transmission.

With the 350z's I have the filter sit close to the exhaust manifold, and the top part of the filter (rubber) is about 1" away of the header. No signs of heat damage. Air is a very poor heat conductor.

The kit is track proven.

Darn car is showing up everywhere! Here it is taking 2nd place at the EME Day Show and Shine in Edmonton.... Note the iPad on the engine cowl. It is running a slide show of Sasha's work!
2nd you say? Ya. Some twerp with a barely modded subie talked the judges into giving him first for having a racing seat....

your product looks great, im just curious to conditions this kit would be seeing around my area.

I live in Houston with a similar setup. No issues at all. I did wrap everything and coat some parts.

I'm just going to throw it out there. This has to be one of my favorite threads right now...

Well I'm in the process of deciding to go with this kit or go with a set of wheels and an AR. I barely put 5000 miles on the car damn thing hasn't even been broken in yet. I have no idea which way to go...

I only had 4k on mine and put a GTM stage 1.5 SC and don't regret it.

You will love the power it really wakes this car up.

You in SoCal by chance? This is the direction I was thinking about going and would love to get a ride in it. The BP kit is the other leading contender that I am waiting to see results from. So many options these days...

If you are going to compare a s/c to turbo power, the turbo will always be ahead. With a supercharger you will always have parasitic loses and produce less power compared to a turbo.

With a roots blower for example it takes 45hp to produce 10psi of boost. A centrifugal blower is more efficient but still not as good as a turbo(s).
