I believe Mike was referring to that on his last post:

The G37 doesn't have those support brackets and can therefore support the intercooler version you saw in the CAD drawings and layout pictures without modification. That said, we developed new hood latch support braces that gives us an additional 2" of clearance so we can run the same intercoolers on both the G37 and 370Z while supporting the hood latch properly. In addition, the extra clearance allows us to run a wider, taller core on the 370Z than what the red Z currently has. The red Z currently has 10" x 10" x 3" intercooler cores while the production cores with the new support braces are 12" x 12" x 3" cores. Also, the new end-tanks are going to be polished, cast aluminum tanks as opposed to the sheet metal prototype end tanks you see in the pictures of the red Z.

Here is a picture of the support bracket I'm talking about:

Nix's car (red one) will most likely be retrofitted with the new stuff when it's ready and most likely used what's currently on there to speed up results, testing and R&D. Us forum members are pretty impatient and we expect results yesterday. So we have new exhaust manifolds, new intercoolers and new hood latch thing. That's a lot of new.

Actually the red car is not Nicks. His car is getting all the final production parts from the get go.

Can't wait! Been a long time coming.

I am new in the forced induction subject... sorry for asking dumb questions, but I need to know the details of going TT.

Are stock spark plugs good enough to handle the twin turbo kit or is it necessary to upgrade them?

What is the additional maintenance the car must have once the twin turbo kit is installed?

You can run the stock plugs, but we usually recommend going with one-step colder plugs.

As for additional maintenance, there really isn't anything special needed just like a factory turbo car.

Before you get jumped, I would suggest searching within the forum for previous discussions of these topics, as well as checking out the various FI primer and FI noob threads.

To answer your question, you will want different spark plugs, and a well designed kit should not require substantially different maintenance than a normal sport car. However, you should plan on saving to fix things when they come up, and saving for more than just the price of the kit to do it right (e.g. gauges, cooling mods, etc).

ROFL, Nix is grey... I guess I should pay attention to his avatar. Thanks Sam.

We've had a few PM's regarding getting a credit for already having an Uprev cable and license while purchasing our Turn-Key kit. We are offering a $200 credit on the Turn-Key kit if you already have a license and cable but still want a tune from us as well as the associated support.

When do you think you guys will have 16G dyno graphs out to compare against the 18Gs? Considering the old ones are on your old much more optimistic dyno. Also you said the 18G at 11PSI hits 494WHP but the graph attached never goes above 450WP? Is that the correct graph?

We'll be posting 16g Mustang dyno results once we finish up Nixlimited's car.

The graph we posted had the horsepower and torque scales set to 500 and 450 respectively. We have a different graph without boost that displays both horsepower and torque scales (the Mustang software only displays two scale channels at a time) that we'll be uploading here shortly.
