Your attention to detail will not go unnoticed. Refining and perfecting the installation process and instruction manual will translate into faster installs, and less costs to every. That's another win-win. Keep up the good work, Tony. And those manifolds look incredibly. :)

SPOHN,

I understand that you have a distaste for Forged Performance but I have to ask that you keep it out of my thread please! Sharif commented on a statement that I made, no one else!

On another note, I have met the personnel from both Forged Performance and Topspeed in person. Both stand up shops and all good guys in my opinion.

Thanks, Tony

You are correct my friend. The easier we can make the kit to install, the easier it is for the installers and end consumers. This equates to less being spent on labor and more staying in the pocket!

Thanks, Tony

I will just leave this here....is it May yet? :)

That's a gorgeous car, desperately in need of some upgraded brakes.

Very uncool spohn, I couldn't agree with you more about Forged but this isn't the place. I wish I would have waited on Tony's TT kit due to gtm screwing me around the way they did but what's done is done. Tony I can't wait to get my 3' exhaust!!!! hint hint..

We know, we know! It has Sport brakes sitting here awaiting to be installed.

Thanks, Tony

Thanks for the support! You want that exhaust bad, don't you! We are working our way up to it and I look forward to seeing it on your car. You will not be disappointed.

As for Spohn, he is cool in my book. I do not think he meant anything directed towards us and I sent him a pm just to make sure we were good, which we are. Now lets not let it blow up in to a words war, especially in an information thread!

Thanks, Tony

Until GTM release their new manifold with GTX combo, F.I TT kit remains the best TT kit for 370z.

Yep, but also twice a price. I wouldn't wait for GTM kit if the FI kit was more afordable, unfortunately it is still 5k more for turn-key version...

If you think the GTM kit with GTX turbos is going to be $5K less than the FI kit, you are kidding yourself. Also, unless you are in on the current group buy, the cost of the GTM MHI kit will jump at least 10% or more....and then you can add the upgrade for the GTX turbos and the manifold.

Brother, Im far away from MHI kit. Look at my signature.

I was just comparing apple to apple. FI "IS" the best "twin" turbo kit available right now but im not sure if they will hold this title after GTM launch their new manifold.

God bless you Tony for making Lamborghini turbo kit quality to 370z owners.:bowdown:

Thanks for the support. You are definitely right with the quality we strive for with this kit. Once it is out there and the independent reviews start coming in, the general masses will see it for themselves.

I did not forget about your email...:driving:

Thanks, Tony

Thank you, Tony

Just a friendly bump for the best TT kit coming to the market!

Thanks Tony ! I'm sooooooo excited about this !!!!!!!:happydance:

Just bump for Tony as FI " it will remain the best choice "

Gasdoc,

It was more than our pleasure meeting you in person at ZDayZ. The trip was a blast but the best part was getting to meet our customers and hopeful future customers. We also got to meet some real stand up people from some other shops as well. Looking forward to 2014...

Long story short, for you to come through now 4 months later after we spoke in person and you said it wasn't going to happen for a few years if ever, speaks volumes my friend! Thank you for your business.

Tony

Those videos are badass. I can't believe how fast that car revs. You should get with this company Fast Intentions. They fabricate stuff and make an exhaust for Z's. I bet yours would sound good with one. :tup:

great job FI that kit looks tits. Someday Someday:roflpuke2:

Dude we are cool...I was not speaking to your comment. I was referring to the comment by Diabel.

Your build is awesome...been following your progress and drooling. :roflpuke2: The point is if you want quality (and I mean top shelf parts) you are going to pay for it, it doesn't matter if its FI, GTM, Greddy or BP. You pays your money and you take your chances.:eekdance:

What the hell is this thread doing seven places from the top?!

/bump :tup:

I know one thing. Come towards the years end/ very early next year this server here is going to crash with all the FI threads.

As long as we don't have any FI CAR crashes... :tup:

You WILL have to learn how to drive your car all over again!

Tony

That's the damn truth. Things happen MUCH faster once you slap a pair of turbos on one of these things. It's very controllable, but the penalty for stupidity is much higher.

There is no doubt it and everything you just said is so true. The beauty of having an electronic boost controller is the capability to ramp the boost in hard and aggressive or much more progressive and softer. With the push of a few buttons you can alter the entire driving experience.

When we were at the drag strip we had the wastegates clamped shut until 8 psi so it would not bleed off boost to soon. The torque curve was very steep and she made well over 400 ft lbs. right around 3,000 rpm. This worked great for the track because the prep was excellent and the car was holding traction. Now the other end of the spectrum was when I drove her through "The Tail of the Dragon" earlier this year at ZDayZ. I did this the Sunday morning just after it poured for hours. Anyone who was there knows how hard it rained late that Saturday night in to the Sunday morning. Now, it probably was not the smartest thing to take her our through the Dragon being TT with wet roads. Nevertheless, I made it back in one piece and so did the car. I set the boost controller to open the wastegates at 3 psi. Now I can do this because we put a light spring in there. A 3 lb. spring to be exact. The boost came on much softer and the curve was much more progressive. Doing this made the drive doable and tolerable without wrapping the car around a tree or over a cliff.

So there were just a few examples of how you can set it up to work. At the end of the day it is still boost and can bite you back real hard if you make the wrong mistake at the wrong time. It only takes once!

Thanks, Tony

What Street/track tires do you recommend Tony? Something with reasonable price? I don't wanna have to sell my second kidney for tires lol.

Sent from my SGH-M919

There is no such thing as something good at a reasonable price when it comes to tires. You get what you pay for! I recommend going with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports or Toyo r888's. For me personally I am going with the PSS. I like the tread design of the r888 better but the performance of the PSS all day long. At the end of the day performance is the driving factor.

Edit: In the event that you would Drag race (which I know that is not your thing), go with a set of MT ET Street Radials.

Thanks, Tony

Oh trust me I understand I get what I pay for, that's exactly why I'm going with this kit! Just budget doesn't allow it at the moment haha

Sent from my SGH-M919

What is it with these PSS get so much talk? How is a tire with a treadwear rating of 300 so good?

I just had a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports installed on my car last month. The grip on those tires is simply amazing. If I mash the accelerator from a standstill, they just hook up and go. No tire slippage, no flashing traction control light. The car now has a tighter turn radius, and I can take turns at higher speeds, all without tire slippage. They also have a much smoother ride than the stock Bridgestone Potenzas that they replaced. Sure, they cost a pretty penny, but they are loads of fun. Highly recommended.

Guess I'm going to have to try them. I'm just so in love with AD08's. But the PSS are priced just as good as any other tire.

Tread wear can ONLY be compared inside a tire manufacturer.

PSS's are great STREET tires because there is not warm up, they grip like all hell, they are quiet, they are light, and have/give great ride quality.

On the track... Not so much. They can't take heat like RE-11s/RS3s/NT01s, and their sidewalks aren't as stiff as you'd like on a track really.

Chris,

The first time I got to really push them to the limit was behind the wheel of Sharif's GT-R through Tail of the Dragon. Yes the car was jaw dropping amazing across the board, but the way the tires took the road put it over the top for me. We also have them on Blake's TT 370Z and for the amount of torque and power we are throwing to the ground, they hold it very well. Honestly, having them is like putting upgraded suspension on the car all over again.

I am currently switching my garbage stock run flats out on the GT-R to 335 in the rear and 285 in the front. Super excited to get the car on the track with these tires.

Thanks, Tony

Sharif has always preached about them for over a year now. Guess I'll be trying them out.

You can always add them down the road. Budget right now is not the end all be all. Yes you are correct, you wanted the best and that is why your car is in our shop!

Our cars are like companions to us. Non car people will never understand it. It is the passion that drives us to do what we do. It is the thrill of the build and the vision to see the finished product that drives us to do what we do. The end result is a reflection of the time, money, sweat, blood and tears that we have put in to our project. We get out of it what we put in to it. Budgets are rarely held intact and more times than not we go over them. Mainly to give our car the extra little bit it needs to make it perfect. When you are driving down the road enjoying your finished build with that ear to ear grin, it suddenly hits you that it was all worth it and the money can always be made again.

Long story short. Do it right the first time and spend the money once on the right parts. Do not short change yourself or your build. If it takes a little longer to complete it, so be it but settle for nothing but the best. This is at least how I personally feel about my own build. I just don't know any other way. It is clearly evident in the products we produce for our customers. Maybe not the most affordable but only the best for our cars and for our customers!

Thanks, Tony
