What the hell? All turbos will by nature be "hot air turbos". even the STS turbos are hot air (exhaust is hot gas/air).

Sorry guys, no progress this week so far.. Im going to call STS and see what turbo they use for the 350z and then maybe take it up a lil. Looks like might need injectors.. AAM is using 600cc if I remember right (I'll look at their thread to know forsure) So I'm going to check pricing on those too. I found a guy who knows the oil scavager pump system well. He built a 600HP TT (GTM KIT W/GTM A. Trans) G35 4door that uses one. And hes got an exaust guy that can make the piping.

google smokey yunick fiero thing is nuts i remember seeing the special on horsepower tv years ago about it.

Guy took it to the extremes. +400 degree intake temps heated by the exhaust and coolant. It comes at the risk of fire hazard though. Some guy bought and restored the original car.

They kinda breezed over the oil pump feed stuff, but other than that, really nice vid.

Subscribed.. I am very interested in this thread. I want to do an FI system for my 370 but they are all so damn expensive but if I could do one for 5k then I would be very interested.

We all should call STS so they know how much interest there is in a rear mounted TT kit for the 370z. I'm gonna make a follow up call in the next couple of months. I'm waiting for the weather to get better, and save up some money.

I called STS and sent them emails.. no one will return my call.. In my email I told them I wanted their universal kit, but I didnt know what turbo they would recommend with the 3.7 so they responded to my email asking me to call.. so I called a few times leaving messages but no call back... I'll try again monday..

everyone should call and say we were looking into your system but since you cant call back, CYA. 10 or 15 calls like that might get them thinking.

I'm surprised. They called me back the same day if not the next. I'm not gonna give up. I was going to wait 5yrs to go TT, but at STS's price I said why wait. Give them to spring, if we don't get a response I guess we will have to move on.
