Boosted Performance single turbo build

That 550WHP pull is really nice graph even though it starts off at 12 psi then fall's off up top to 9 psi. To me it looks like the boost

I really cant wait to see more people out there with this kit on a 370z

I am also looking forward to seeing the 76mm built motor 350z you have out there in action that is getting real close.

If the kit only preserved the crash beam... That's a non-starter for me. Awesome results though. Nice for the community to have options.

Is losing the crash beam really that big of a deal? Doesn't the FMIC kind of replace it? I haven't examined the beam that closely, but isn't it just hollow aluminum?

No, yes, and yes.

There is a lot of aluminium replacing the crash bar:



The brackets are 304 stainless, not aluminium, so much stronger than average:

Mitco39 and WI_Hedgehog like this.

As is pointed out above, there is a lot of metal going in its place. That certainly would help. The difference is the crash bar is designed to direct impact energy around the front impact area and into the frame siderails and away from the cockpit. The FMIC is not designed for this purpose. In a serious collision, I would venture to guess that the crash beam would be a significantly safer option.

Not taking anything away from this awesome kit. Just saying that an FMIC and a purpose-built crash beam are apples and oranges from a safety perspective.

Looks like FI could never be in your future. Wether you lose the crash and replace it with an intercooler, or jam intercoolers behind the crash bar not allowing it to crumple your going to have to give up something. Moral of the story, don't get in an accident lol

Round of applause

I agree with what you, the only thing I miss about my crash beam is my tow hook.

The JIG's look awesome

It's definitely in my future, but it will be with a crash beam. Having survived two accidents that I probably shouldn't have, I am remiss to mess with the safety engineers' work...

But, the point of this thread is BP's kit, which looks to be coming along quite nicely

Sasha (or others) would you know/recommend a shop in the Ottawa area where we can get your kit installed? I'm a bit of a neophyte in the area of force induction although been following related treads for quite a while.

Now that it looks we will not get more power from the next generation of Z's (Mini Z ???), and can get a well engineered canadian product, I think I'm ready for the big jump.
Thanks Sasha, Keep going with the good work.

I'm in Cobourg, just a couple of hours west of you. I'm doing the install myself. I have a good size garage, and own enough tools to do this with ease. After, I'll be driving my car to Vince at R/T tuning for a proper tune. He's approximately 8 hours away, but worth the drive.

If there is anything I can help you with let me know.

Aaaaaaaan all together now:




Tomorrow I will see if I can get a new set of pipes tacked up in the jigs...see how long that takes. Overall I am very happy with how the jigs turned out, and fitment should be perfect. I still have to order a coule of flanges for the Tial MV-S gates. They will be used on the diverter tube, where the gates connect (lower left jig).

Now I need to order some more 2" 90deg elbows..enough for the 6 kits I plan on building right away.

IC piping is much easier to duplicate, so no worries there.


Something to note...The kits will use one Tial BOV not two like the original kit. It will be located at the intercooler inlet just below the scavenge pump on the U bend in this picture:




This is the main reason the kit is a bit cheaper than I had initially posted. At the same time with the BOV being there, those that purchase the kit for California, the charge pipes will look more like a CAI vs. a turbo kit. The only way one can tell the difference is if they look at the intercooler. It closes the OEM bumper opening rather well, so it not as obvoius unless one knows what to look for.
