Great job! Just curious, have you done a cost comparison vs buying a prefabbed kit? As a fellow DIYer I know nothing can compare to the satisfaction and attention to detail you get when doing it yourself, and you did an outstanding job, but would you do it again or just buy a kit?

Beautiful welds, btw. I'm jealous...

I MAY have considered going BP's single turbo setup but with Comp's oil-less turbo. I didn't want to drop the motor or transmission to install the turbos and relocate wires and hoses, and I can't imagine servicing them would be any easier. I think the only reason why I went with twin is because of better boost response and higher efficiency overall, plus I may have been the first 370z with the turbos where they are. Cost wise, it came out to be about the same as BP's kit (without uprev, clutch, exhaust etc). I used top of the line products and materials and with each turbo costing $1650 did not help the budget at all. If I had a car lift and a better workshop, I wouldn't mind create some pre turbo down-pipes for other DIY'ers out there trying to do their own turbo kits.

I used a temporary boost gauge up and found that my max boost is only 7.5-8psi. It sure pulls harder than I thought though. I'm going to adjust the wastegate actuator rod and bring it to 10psi. Dyno tuning is on my list of things to do before New Year (hint hint).

On a fun account, my friend with a built G35 using Greddy TT and Haltech EMS requested my help in retuning his car to run pump gas. I initially tuned it on E85 in October and it made a hefty 696whp @19psi. Today I tuned it for 11psi daily driving on pump 93 and we went for a little "spirited" drive. Not sure on numbers but it did put a smile on my face :driving:

This is exactly what I've been looking for if you could mass produce the down pipes would be great. If not i would pay you to make me a set.:happydance: Whats the modle number for the turbo your using please? thanks and great Job!

They are comp CT2 4747 billet triple ball bearing. Just call the number on their main website to inquire. They have great customer service.

Here it is dyno tuned. 472whp & 421ft-lb @9psi

The combination of cold weather and worn out Michelin PSS gave me a hard time with traction on the rollers. 4th gear would not hook. I ended up having 2 of the guys sit on the trunk to give it traction.

My impression on the result is exactly how I intended for the kit to deliver. Instant throttle response, high mid range torque with a feasible powerband. The .64 AR housings are showing their limitation as torque is ramping down on top end, and they are not meant to make peak power. I did wanted to increase boost a bit and hit 500whp but I did not have any boost controller setup. Overall the graph is smooth and shows no sign of hiccup.

great work and follow-through!

Your MR2 is ridiculous. That must be a hoot to drive.

Sounds great!

Awesome work!

Yes it was. It made 430whp and walked an E85 GTR that ran 10.7 @132mph. I sold it though. I chose to keep the Z since it's a more enjoyable street car.

Installed Apexi AVC-R boost controller. My plan: boost by gear to maximize traction in all gear, or at least get it close enough to allow traction control to actually work. Boost by RPM function will fix boost fall out problem at top end. Mounted the controller using a vent phone holder. The controller goes into the glove box when I need it out of the way.
