You sound like me. I'm waiting on clutch and radiator install. I'm DIYing most of the install but am more than willing to let someone else bench press the tranny and swap the radiator.

I know its cheaper than any other turbo kit to install, but what would you guys think would run? I dont have the tools nor the garage space to do a project like this. Helps realize how much I really need to save for something like this.

I can't see a shop charging more than 12 hours. I did it by myself on jack stands taking my time and moving VERY slowly through everything and had less than 20 in it. I would say $1,500 max.

I would agree. $1200-1500. Since no body has actually installed one on a G yet I've gone through the entire installation just to try my best to verify it'll fit. You're estimate is fair.

I was all in on a GTM supercharger kit, but between this and possibly a Vsr kit, the turbos look tempting...The price on this kit is awesome, I know this has been covered before but being lowered and being in PA the turbo under the car just scares me, I don't know why, I guess because I have run over stuff before... Is there enough clearance to build some kind of protection plate for the turbo? What would be the difficulty in how much you have to take off to get the trans out it I had to? Also does anyone have any issues with heat that's its so close to the trans? Also, I have Z1 headers, would it be a hassle to get DE flanges welded on instead of the HR flanges?

The turbo is really tucked up away from danger. I also have been considering making an underpan to protect the turbo and piping. I can't say if there is room as I'm not running the kit yet. To pull the tranny you would have to remove the manifold piping, just a few bolts and some v bans. Probably not more than another 30 mins to hr for a shop.

Just read the instruction manual, hats off for being so meticulous with it! This install is cake...also anyone know if there is room for a custom crash bar in the front like vsr did? I don't want to trash the whole front of the car and the cooler if I happened to get in a fender bender...I honest like the VSR a bit more, it does not have as many parts, no oil pump, one wastegate, and the crash bar, but I am a DIY kind of guy, I think that's what I like about this kit so much about this kit...

This is the best option for turbo'ing the 370z in my opinion. My only concern for this kit would have been the scavenge oil pump, but in reality thats not even an issue. There are guys that have been running a variation of this kit ( a BP mid mount) on 350z's for years now, and I havent heard of a single issue regarding the pump or failure of the pump. So like I said, I will have no second thoughts about it.

The VSR kit places the turbo toward the top of the engine bay if im not mistaken. Correct me if im wrong. Engine bay temps would probably be significantly increased due to this. I dont have the kit, nor do I have knowledge of the kit itself, but it seems that heat build up would be inevitable due to the turbos placement.

The two wastegates is actually a benefit to this kit. Sure its another part but it provides an advantage. This kit utilizes a twin scroll turbo. I dont know the proper wording to describe the difference between a twin scroll and a single scroll, but I know Sasa has explained it somewhere here on the forums. Im sure a quick google could shine light on the subject as well.

Clearance to ground with this kit is not an issue at all. Everything is tucked up, and all the customers that have installed were actually very surprised at how tucked everythin is. You guys with 3" down pipes on TT turbo kits will have your down pipes hang much lower than anything with this kit.

Have a closer look at the pics below as a reference on where things are:

Wastegates:

In order to do a proper twin scroll turbo kit both banks have to be seperated all the way to the turbine. This is what makes the twin scroll as efficient as it is. These are also Tial wastegates, the best you can get in the business, and I have yet to see one fail with over 80 turbo kits out there.

Scavenge pump:

I have sold over 100 of these, and not one has ever failed. They are $400, built to last 10,000 hours. Nothing like the pumps you will find on STS turbo kits for example. I have customer who take their car on 1500 mile round trips without ever having any concerns on any of the component that come with this kit. I have almost 30,000 miles on my own car with all the same component that you guys get with this kit...I have never had anything fail, and this includes 50+ passes at the drag strip.

Install cost:

This will be the cheapest kit of all FI options to install if you take it to a shop. $1,200 is a good estimate. This is what I charge to install it. It really is straight forward.

Crash bare:

It is possible to get something built for sure. I can't see it beeing overly expensive either. It is also something I will look at this spring once one of the donor cars comes back before another tune.

Great response...as always. I could probably have someone fashion a crash bar for me just as long as there is room...I guess in reality my issue is not clearance it does look good...just the possibility of damage from debris...for example I, had the pleasure of skipping my carcar over a dead deer carcass just before winter...broke my lip to pieces and had to take a hammer to undertray...it wasnt pretty...anyway...If I could get the flange issue worked out this looks like the way to go....I'll pm you later.

:yum: I just loviong seeing pics of the BP kit! So clean & so sexy :yum: : yum:

:tiphat:

Once I decide how to handle the flange issue Im gonna pull the trigger here soon...:)

Congrats! Should I book a dyno spot for you? June 21st is the event this year.

I wish there was one of these kits running around Socal. Id love to go for a ride to see the difference between my TT kit! This is the only other FI kit id run on my Z! :tup:

Personal experience: I have been in a GTM Supercharged Z, an STS turbo'd Z and the BP Twin Scroll Z's...
All have their merits, but the sheer simplicity of the BP kit, coupled with an incredibly linear power curve and instant torque make it the winner. I have seen all of these cars on the dyno one after the other too, and the BP kit IMHO outperformed the others overall. :twocents:

Ain't that the damned truth! Sasha and Dan should split the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize...

Looks really nice! Are there any plans at all to develop an RHD kit? You would more than likely gain a few extra sales if that was at all possible. Keeping the crash bar or developing an alternative for it would also be fantastic.

Does the price of the turn-key kit also include a full etune or only a very basic tune?

Steering knuckle says "no"!

Damn English!!! Why couldn't we have been colonized by a culture that drives on the correct side of the road!!!!!!

What is it that the steering knuckle actually gets in the way of? Is it the manifolds? Downpipes?

Do you have a kit for a 7 AT?
or a 2003 350z 5 AT ?

Boosted Performance round 2 list

Maybe I will just post this every few pages as no one seems to read through threads anymore:

BP Twin Scroll Mid Mount Turbo Kit
Left Hand Drive Only
Does NOT fit 370Z automatics, 6MT only
100% Awesome.

Sasha has a different kit for 350's that is similar, however that is not what this thread covers. Maybe PM him directly about that.

i will let you know as soon as i get mines. if you let me drive yours, i'll let you drive mines :D. probably wont happen till next year though

Infamous just pickup a Z from Montana with a BP turbo kit. He is in Las Vegas. I'm hoping that I will get a chance to hookup with him and SS at some point. It would be pretty cool to get some seat time either as a driver or passenger for comparison sake. I'm sure none of the kits will disappoint.:tup:

I am very happy for you man, it's like cheating death and getting a new lease on life. The thing is your new lease also involves a badass single turbo.

Sounds absolutely amazing. You can definitely hear that big blower underneath the car.

How this kit is still available boggles me...

My god, that sounds awesome. Congrats.

:tup:

Bet it sounds a lot better in person. I know mine does.

Puck, great video, thanks for posting.

2 kits are pending, this means only two more are still available.

Thanks guys :tup: Glad to hear those kits are moving. I'm honestly shocked there are still any available. I'm sure the last of them will get snagged in no time.

I am sure they will move out rather quickly here in the next month or so. I think people often don't realize the value of this kit, and what you actually get when you purchase it.

From the large standard injectors, 340lph standard fuel pump, fuel pump relay kit, 30 row oil cooler kit, simplest FI install on the market, communication and support after the sale...you really do the the most for your $$$.

Only those that have purchased a turbo kit from me will know this, and you will find countless great reviews on my 350z . com from my customers.

The Kit:

First off, the build quality is great! As many of you have seen, the welds are incredible. The installation is pretty straight forward and if i were to do it again, i could do in less than half the time. I did run into one problem during the install that was my fault, which brings me to my next topic. The customer service!!!

During the install I installed a check valve oil fitting backwards. I didnt realize that the turbo was not getting oil and i ran the car like this for about 20-30 minutes just idleing and cruising around my house checking for anything loose with the install. I never went into boost or anything like that. It wasnt until i took the turbo reservoir down and no oil came out, that i realized the turbo wasnt getting oil. I contacted Sasha and told him what had happened (in the instructions i received there wasnt any clear pics/instructions how to assemble the oil fittings. But it was still my fault for messing it up). He assured me that he would take care of me. By the way, I PMed this guy so many times, i upgraded to the premeir membership so i didnt have to keep erasing my box. LOL. He answered my PM's like they were txt messages, it was crazy. I brought it to get tuned and halfway through the dyno session, my tuner told me he thought something was wrong with the turbo because it was smoking more and more. I stopped and brought the car home. Sasha told me to take the turbo down and send it to Precision. By this time, i had the turbo out in 20 minutes! not kidding. It takes longer for me to jack the car up and get it to the right height on jack stands than to take my turbo down! The turbo was ruined and had to be repaired by Precision. Sasha pmed me and asked if i would pay half!! I couldn't beleive it. Talk about customer service, i mess the install up, damage the turbo and i only have to pay have the cost? Imagine if i had a Greddy kit and called them to let them know i messed up the install and was wondering if they could help me out!? So now i received the turbo back and everything is ready to go.

Tune/Results:

I decided to go with Dent Sport Garage for my Uprev tune. These guys were awesome. They went out of their way to help me and i couldnt have been happier. My tuner, Matt, told me that if i was looking for big numbers, i came to the wrong place. He was telling me stock evo's and sti's normally put down 215whp stock. There was someone in the Tuning section here that went here and had a bolt on Z and dynoed 220whp and after a tune like 24x whp, so it reads fairly low. But as we all know it is just a tool for tuning and there are a bunch of variables. I told my tuner i wanted the tune to be very conservative. I had it tuned at 10 lbs of boost.

The Results: 404 HP and 359 TQ (it made 408 on one run but this was the final run) on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...c/DSC02608.jpg

It saids a 2004 G35 but he just forgot to change the title. keep in mind this is a really conservative tune. Low 11 AFR's and only 8 degrees timing at peak TQ and 14 degrees timing at peak HP.

Overall i am very happy with the kit. The car pulls so nice in the high rpms, its like a totally different car! If anyone is on the fence about this kit, trust me its worth it. Its great for a DIYer and you learn a lot about your car and the kit after going through the whole install. Heres a couple of pics that i took of the kit.

This is a review from Nov 2010 on the original mid mount turbo kit...wow, time flies.

When I talk about your customer service to all of my Z buddies, that is the exact review that I reference. This is the type of company that the community should support!

The only reason I'm not kicking down your door saying "shut up and take my money" is that you haven't had a chance to really definitively find no way of making a 7AT kit. I know it is highly unlikely, but I don't want to completely rule out hope until you find out for sure.

I'd send you mine, but it's my daily. :facepalm: :bowrofl:
