This forum does rock and when it does become negative its more like constructive feedback. The 350Z forum however has become overwhelmed with a bunch of a$$holes.

If you want Maserati speed you only need a supercharger and even then you will have much more fun in your 370 as you will be able to punish Maseratties.

And dont chose your kit on the way it sounds (bov), choose it on the way it feels. Superchargers are going to be linear power and a turbo is going to give you a shot of torque that will slam you around 3K. Some people like linearity and some like the sudden onset of power. Either will put a huge smile on your face!

And the best advice you can get is do it right the first time. If you cant afford to do it right you will regret it.

Lots of good advice in here.

One of the keys to deciding sc vs turbo is whether you're going to want more power down the line. There's a lot more headroom in a turbo setup. No matter how fast your car is, eventually you get used to the power and you start wanting more.

Business Kat · 10-16-2014, 02:18 PM

I know myself and I like the immediate power of the sc. However, recently in life I've been going with things that make me uncomfortable that I'm afraid of. Turbo worries me a little but in a good way. I know it'll leave me with more room to play later and it'll be a fun experience. The c63 is all engine and it's fast. But the Maserati was a turbo and that thing was stupid fun. I want something different than what I'm used to

As for sound I figure any TT can give me a sound I'll be happy with.

With your budget you need to go ahead and back away from the idea of a TT kit. You're working off a single turbo budget. Get on the Boosted Performance list. You'll be very happy with the result.

Business Kat · 10-16-2014, 03:47 PM

Nooooo! Budgets were meant to be broken after all. I'm doing it, I just had an ideal pricing set. Keep in mind I'm low balling because my friend has hook ups from his shop and I may even be able to get free labor from another friend.

I'm doing it and I'm going to do it right. I've already decided that this needs to become a reality and money is for damn sure not going to stop me from making my dream come true. This is America. It's easy to make money if your patient and consistent.

martin82 · 10-16-2014, 03:50 PM

At your price point, I would suggest going SC vs TT. Install cost will be cheaper on the SC, but you will still need at a minimum, A/F gauge, oil cooler, radiator, fan, and uprev tune.
I have the GTM 1.5 stage SC plenty fast.

Business Kat · 10-16-2014, 04:40 PM

The only reason I want to go turbo is the whistle from the bov. And a single turbo doesn't seem appealing because I never really speed much in the high rpms

You're misinformed. The BP kit has loads of area under the curve. Do some more homework on that one. It's fairly close to twins in lower-rpm power. Maybe a few hundred rpm difference.

And none of the prices I've mentioned included labor. Boosting a Z takes pretty much $10k at the minimum. Sure you might buy a used kit, but if you have to rebuild a turbo you're right back at the cost of the BP kit.

Business Kat · 10-16-2014, 05:12 PM

What's this bp kit you all keep talking about? Is it that twin scroll one I've seen? And let's put money aside for a second. I just want more power at low-mid rpms and some whistle action. I miss the torque my Camaro had and I love the explosiveness of the Maserati. My company will pay for a Mercedes in 2 years so this will turn into my project car. I want to leave room for really upgrading it, should I decide to at that point, but for now that's all I want.

Dear god.....

Set aside your cartoonist bov! Sounds like you should just buy a srt neon. Any good kit will use Tial and they actually purge air and dont make it sound like a canary wagon.

ROBERT1183 · 10-16-2014, 05:32 PM

I have the new aam competition twin turbo kit. Just got it back from them it's amazing. But your looking at like 10k for the kit. Your gonna have to try and find a used greddy or GTM kit to be around where you wanna be price wise. Or a stillen supercharger.

The BP is the twin scroll single. It had loads of power at all points on the tach. It's the kit that fits your budget and goals, and will do so with a minimum of headaches over trying to find and piece together a used twin turbo kit.

And I'm not sure which Maserati you're talking about, but pretty much any turbo Z is going to blow the doors off one.

Business Kat · 10-16-2014, 05:45 PM

ghibli sq4. I think it's only a 4.4 0-60 but the first second or two is spent rolling and gathering traction and then BOOM! I was considering the bp turbo but I wasn't sure if it was still being sold. It just worries me because I had never heard about twin scroll but it looks good on paper.

Any boosted Z is going to have one of those for lunch. A ~500whp Z is a stupid fast car.

If you're going with a single turbo, you want twin scroll and a ball bearing center section. Go read every thread started by boosted performance. And then give him your money.

Something to consider- I've GOT a TT Z and I'm pushing you toward the BP single.
