IMO 450 is about good enough for most tracks. If its a tight track a NA can smoke you. I wouldn't want big HP with all that lag for road courses. So many variables.

I think stock power is too much ,I'm going back to my prius.:roflpuke2:

I thought he was talking about just a built motor. Of course it can be that much. It could even be more than that with all the higher end parts. I guess only time will tell what I end up doing

any chance of getting pics of the manifolds? i would also like to see the setup and down pipes for the ext wg

^ can't be to much different from there other kits. There's only so much room that things can be routed/ mounted.

I also have to come up with some more dough to run blowoff valves.hehe

I'm wondering whether I should install the kit as it comes and then add the guages and clutch and other misc stuff as I come up with the money OR should I let it collect dust until I get everything around....

Keeping an eye on boost would be nice

Boost gauge would be my first. I wait to see how long the clutch can go. No real sense in changing it till. But you never know. Lol

Stage 5 fuel system: $3400-----Have to feed the girl
New 4.2L with core : $15,400----was going to keep original engine as a back up.
Boost controller, race logic t/c..to control the hp, new clutch to handle the power, new exhaust, gauges etc.
You can't just thrown in a few parts and hop for the best with 800hp. You need to control it and make sure everything else will not explode the first time you get on it.
But hey good luck with your thought of you only need an engine build and larger turbo :facepalm:

Go to Sam's page on here. He has a full photo layout of this kit.:tiphat:

:iagree:

Agree with SPOHN, gauges and then the clutch. If you are planning to pull more out the kit then a 3" exhaust and clutch upgrade is a must. Like everyone else has said a thousand times on here...550whp is as far as you should take a stock block anyways.

Why you gotta one up me?:bowrofl::tiphat:

The fun you will have when you are done PRICELESS:yum:

Because he's short :roflpuke2:

Gotta be quick. Like boosted quick.

and that's what she said:roflpuke2:

working on it....boosted again part.

What size downpipe comes with turn key kit?

Yes i am short and stout. Heres my handle and you can kiss my spout. :bowrofl:

Fixed!!!!

I think kissing his spout would bring "satisfaction"

I'm sorry I thought this was a Blower thread!!!!!

I'm out:rofl2:

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

I'm aware of how to build a motor and what's needed. No need to throw out a face palm dude. You are wanting a stroker motor which is something I don't want. I already have gauges, you want the race logic t/c... Some of the stuff you want isn't needed and is just for shitz and giggles. They are nice to have but not necessarily needed. I'm not saying $10k is what it takes to get a fully built motor done, I'm just throwing out a ball park number. Also I save on labor and parts that I get at whole sale. With all that money spent on your wasted sts kit you could have a semi built motor and a TT setup with 650rwhp+
But hey who am I to judge how to spend how others go about spending their hard earned money :tiphat:

Even with a stroker build, I couldn't imagine it being more than $10k for everything, including parts and labor. The motor itself, from Nissan, is quite expensive, however.

Does nobody plan on working on the engines and install themselves?

I am

Sweet I'm a little worried about the headers removal but am hoping I can take this on myself. I recently just stocked up my garage with jack stands, a car jack, and almost every basic tool one may need.

For my 350z it was going to be $8k I believe. It really isn't expensive to build a motor. Hell even a twin turbo kit can cost more than an engine build.

Shouldn't be that hard. What headers? If LTH I believe it's hard to get to some of the bolts but it takes time and a cool head. Which I do not have. Good thing for myself is I own a lift. Best investment ever about eight years ago.

My plans are after we find out a release date I'm going to start removal of headers, TP's, oil pan, radiator core (gives a lot of room to work), throttle bodies, intake manifold, spark plugs, fuel injectors, and whatever else I know about turbo installation. Maybe directions will be given before receiving the kit. Then once received I'm going to thermal coat the intercoolers and powder coat the other piping. Main thing about FI kits is making sure all parts that have threads are tight and thread sealant was used. Heat wrap anything close to the turbos reguardless of the directions. Then all silicone couplings are secure. Ill never forget the time I had one pop off under boost. Lol. Once the turbo manifolds/ turbos are on its a breeze. I don't have AC no more so there is a lot of room on the driver side.

Is wrapping needed with the heat shields? I have the stock headers still on, and I have 4 rolls of Teflon ready! I recently got a promotion and will have a company vehicle allowing me to park the Z in the garage. I spoke to Mike and he stated that he's working on the manual and will distribute it as soon as he can. I plan on taking a whole weekend just to remove the headers.

Oh sorry I meant wrapping such as electrical components using the foil type wrap. I know theres a big one the drivers side that you will see. It has long plastic square clip of some type around the loom. Then myself having a vented hood is great and no cowl. You'll just see the heat poor out.

Just small things like that or even water lines. The stock headers are not horrible. It's just a matter of getting them broke lose. Six point sockets always. Installing this kit is easy. Not sure how the water lines are routed but I have a great idea.

Twin Turbo DIY $3000 in saving

Blowing up your motor = Priceless!

Lol that's exactly why I'm thinking of just waiting till bonus time next year and taking the cat to JTran in Houston for an install and tune.

I hope SAM@GTM has an iPhone because I'm going to FaceTime him during the build to make sure I'm doing it right.

I just need to make sure I'm on wifi because 20hrs of FaceTime will kill my data plan.

You won't need all that Sam's instructions are really good,if you can turn a wrench and read you will be GTG.:hello:

Dat makee em fel betr!:icon14:

You didn't say if you could spell. :bowrofl:

For myself it's simple as any other install. Just more of it. I'll load it up and take it to be tuned.

I'm installing mine myself, it's not rocket surgery
