FOR the oiling issue would it be at all practical to install a remote oiling system in the back of the car perhaps? I mean, running turbo and exhaust pipes front and back is one thing... But having oil run ALL the way from the front of the car to the rear and then back to the front is pretty insane to me. that's a LOT of oil to fill and the oil needs to be flowing constantly and consistently. I'm not sure if a remote oiling system is at all possible, room wise, but might be something worth looking into for the DIY guys. just install an electric pump, cooler core, filter, and lines to recirc?

adding more oil in the z might be beneficial to help cool down the oil temperature. So it actually might be a good thing to have more oil in the car.

No, but clearly having WAY more real-world experience does.

a separate oil system for the turbo would work but you would need a reservoir, filter, pressure pump, scavange pump, optionally a cooler, and you would have to mount all of that in the back of the car somehow which more than likely means no spare tire and it would cost a hell of a lot more than you would want.

YouTube - outperformanceshop's Channel

Found those videos on youtube while roaming around. There is like 6 videos on the nismo with the STS kit.

Is it me or does it sound like a 4 cylinder car with a exhaust?

How much will this cost labor/parts?
20k for the other turbos is ridiculous.

20k for a turbo? more like 10k for the turbo and another 5k-7k for proper upgrades. Some of which are best to be done right away and others down the road.
As stated earlier, it looks like they want to price this kit around 6-7k for the system alone but that does not get you out of spending money on the extras you will need.

That seems too much for me as the SCs are cheaper and needed more design R&D than an STS turbo.

All I been seeing are labor and parts for a grand total of 20k+
I'm asking would it be cheaper with this since the install doesn't look too bad?
What other supporting mods do you need. Seems like they are giving you everything.

who said it cost 20k?

the kit cost around 6400 shipped. Then you can run about 7.9 psi and get 474 hp. I have been doing the comparisons. You cant get that with stillen or gtm. Labor gonna cost about 1k or do it yourself.
