Small update today...I managed to get all the smaller stuff sorted out. The two main things being oil relocation, and scavenge pump mounting.

Oil filter relocation:

I made a bracket so that it bolts up using the OEM front skid plate bolts, and as you can see it worked out great..simple bolt on.

The oil system will go like so:

From oil filter sandwich plate to oil filter, from oil filter to oil cooler, from oil cooler back to oil filter sandwich plate.

Since the scavenge pump does not need servicing (10,000 hour life) it's final resting place will be behind the fender. Again, just a simple bolt on:

And I did some shopping today as well, $300 later and I have all that is needed for oil cooling, and oil scavenging. -8and for the oil cooler and -6an for the oil scavenge system. As you can see, there is no cheap rubber hose here:

I am now working on building a sample kit that will stay behind with me once this customer is done. From that I will move on to the jig fabricatio. I managed to build another down pipe, and reverse Y-pipe today. Hope to have another set of hot pipes built to feed the turbo in the next day or two, and then start focusing on finishing this project. There is still a bit of work to do though, but it is looking very good as far as I can see.

Gee, those parts look familar. I think I know where you got those :p

I have some info for you if you wish to get a better seal and better oil filter on the relocation head. I had the same fitment problem with the stock oil filter being too small. I even have a old GTM filter kit holder you can have, if you wish.

at this point, is the expected cost of materials/price of the kit what you were expecting it to be?

I do have a much better idea of the cost. The oil lines/fittings sure add to the cost, as does the entire oil filter relocation kit. Two waste gates and two BOV's don't help much either....nothing is cheap with this kit.

I am trying to keep the complete kit with fuel injectors (750cc), Uprev tuner..and all the other stuff that goes with the kit at around $6,900.

Considering the quality, how complete the kit is, and ease of install that is a great price. Even if you take it to a shop for an install it won't be nearly as much as a TT kit for example, yet it will be just as capable. With the Stage I (62mm turbo) this is a 600whp out of the box bolt on system with no need to upgrade any of the components that come with the kit.

I love watching your progress. Very nice!

To be honest I have not even looked at the FI options and the prices. Justo now looking at the TT kits, and they are in the $7600.00+ range, and the S/C kits are a bit less, but IMO do not compare to this turbo kit. Not sure what STS goes for, but again, I don't see a comparison between the two kits at all. The only thing in common is that they are both single turbo...that is where it all ends.

jk. His kits have been running for a while on the 350Z's with stock internals, no issues...

I'm sure this has been asked in your thread before but how reliable do you expect your kit to be on a stock motor?

The kit itself will be very reliable. I have customers that make 7 hour round tips a couple of times a month, and have been doing this for almost two years. Not a single issue. Once the kit is installed properly and tuned by a competent tuner, there is nothing to worry about.

I believe it will be fairly cheap on either side of the border. Most of the parts are coming from US suppliers and can be direct shipped most likely. I think Sasha had commented on this earlier in the thread....

But the pipe fabrication will be done in Canada and the import fees to the states will be equal to what we pay to bring the components into Canada... in the end it will be a wash is my guess...

The import fees are nothing compared to those we see in Canada on packages coming from the U.S. For example, the turbo I got the other day cost me $135 at the door...good old UPS. I prefer to ship everything through Canada post (USPS) because you only pay tax.

I have sent many items to the U.S via UPS valued/insured for $2800 and the customer only pays about $80. If the same package was to get sent from the U.S to me, I would pay $220 or so at the door. Not sure how that works to be honest.


Either way, a lot of the stuff will go from my suppliers direct to customers. All that will ship from me is the exhaust piping, intercooler piping, brackets, silicone couplers, clamps, hoses, relocation kit, air filter...ect. Turbo, BOV's, waste gates, FMIC, injectors, EMS, Fuel pump...will all go direct from my supplier.

So for the US guys the kit will be a bit more due to the Northern Neighbour Performance Premium.

No exhaust leaks at the exhaust manifold would be the difference in me buying the kit or not, considering if there are leaks at the exhaust manifold it looks like it would be a pain to replace the gaskets.
