Buy NOTHING from MickeyD's.... it's not real food.......:shakes head::shakes head:

I was trying to hook up the black and blue to black. The way my grandfather wired the house is really weird. Took some thinking but I did finally get it going Saturday night. The electrician came out and put a piece of tape on the wrong bundle of wires which is what really slowed me down. Lol

With Topgunz A2A the SC isn’t a bad option anymore. It all comes down to what you are looking for in a power curve. If you just want to keep the factory power distribution but move it up 150-200whp, go SC. Me, I’m a turbo guy. I want my torque on demand and then nothing if I’m just cruising.

Probably will not go that route, although RT Tuning was selling a used FI TT kit for around 9k... That did pique my interest briefly.

Exactly why the internal debate is raging. SC is easier, single is more fun.

Already running a SouthBend Stage 3 clutch and CMAK - I knew I'd be going this way at some point.

How much of that was doing the horizontal bop? :nutswinger:

i just have seen the kit and seen what it can do. to me it is just the best made and best looking kit. plus i hear way less stories about any install issues on that vs the other options.

just my :twocents: :tup:

The first day back always sucks.

Five years of pounding mine on stock internals before a significant issue. I hope to find out if the motor is toast this week. I spoke with Seb on Friday and we talk about possible upgrades for my turbos. Seb is not a fan of the FI stage 2 turbos and said the stage 2.5 are definitely the way to go if you want more power than stage 1.

Definitely has a great rep, but it's overkill for my needs (and even for my desires). That much torque coming on that abruptly would probably do me in! Gotta work my way in gradually. Giggity.

or just go stage 4 turbos.........:stirthepot:

Sasha’s kit is pretty easy to install. The difficult parts are shared with any SC install (mainly fuel).

With FI. Our options are becoming better and better now. Twins, Single turbos, 2 different supercharger set ups. And we got some hard numbers for each now. So the decision gets harder on which one.

everyone has different needs/wants in a build.


just throwing my fan-boy opinion into the ring lol

The BP kit’s torque comes on harder. A single is always going to dominate a twin when it comes to amount of early torque.

Cold brew and Kix cereal because Mikey likes it.

But later in the power band, correct?

^^^Agreed! Just because you have bigger turbo does not mean you got to go max boost. The reason I am considering the stage 2.5 is it will allow Seb to manage the tq better. Smaller turbos spool up fast and the tq does the same.

Haha, that is called turbo lag and so when it comes on you can go full Mustang!

Reading your build thread right now, Jwick. I appreciate all of you gents who post pictures/details!

Except EW, who posts pictures of his bowel movements; and FP for the **** picks.

I'm still up for adoption if anyone wants to send me a boosted kit.

Lol, I'll try to avoid pulling a cupcakez.

yea but if we adopt you it will making inappropriate touching even creepier.

:hello:

Yesterday I had one drink and headed back to the office to take care of something I forgot :shakes head: :mad:

Went home after and worked around the house. Occasionally throughout the evening I took breaks to install my ZSpec engine dress up kit :D Got the majority of the bumper/headlight/intake/coolant reservoir/fender/ground/strut tower brace/engine cover/clutch reservoir/rear hatch bolts installed. Still remaining: front engine cover/PS bracket/throttle bodies/hood hinge and latch bolts.

You say that like it's a bad thing :icon08:

Z y'all laterZ :driving:

just trying to make it seem like we are against such things.

oh yeah public thread ... I'll edit my post :tiphat:

I didn’t know the BMW X5 had 275/315 on it. Jeez.

Actually that’s boost threshold. Turbo lag is quickness of positive boost once you are past your boost threshold (I.e. on and off the throttle response).

And this a not a simple conversation as it has everything to do with turbo selection. In general twins will come on slightly (very slightly, couple hundred rpms) earlier but the slope of the torque curve on a single is more dramatic. The beauty of Sasha’s kit is the twin scroll turbo. It almost behaves like a twin setup.

mmmmmmmmmmmm meat :yum:

when i first got my Z, i was washing my moms escalade for her, and realized it was running 285's all the way around. i could not allow that. so i went and put 305s on the rears of the Z :bowrofl:

Agreed and that is why Sasha continues to experiment with different twin scroll setups. You just got to pick your poison. They all will put you back in your seat. They all have there inherent nuances and as Rusty said there are now choices out there and they are all pretty good. I got to see the RJM SC in action and that thing is a beast. I kind of like the whipple look too lol.

yea just better have a 6MT lol

he wont make a kit for 7AT.

Also here is what I came into today lol took a pc for evidence before sanitizing and cleaning.

spoiler tags in case anyone would be grossed out by it.

Fellas, I got my new mirror in the mail, a few days late..

God is good, I did the swap on the QX, removing the door panel was a little bit of a pain, luckily, I didnt FUBAR anything..

she's good to go now...

Jwick, in your experience, how easy is it to modulate and control?

my lesson learned... when its raining, and you're trying to back into a garage... dont back in, just pull up.
