Topgunz - air to air upgrade

TopgunZ · 09-14-2017, 02:40 PM

Hi Nick. I got your vmail. I will not be able to take your money just yet. However, I do ship and if anything I need a good reason to head back to Colorado and go skiing soon.

Sounds good, let me know what you need from me and what do you think the timeframe is for the next batch?

08 g37 coupe 5AT RWD

I'm thinking about doing this and buying the parts slowly and installing when spring arrives next year.
I have FI catback/rhfc (I'll change the rhfc for test pipes down the road)
Since I have an 08 I can only use uprev correct? It will be my daily until I can buy a beater down the road. I'm aiming for 420-450whp (nothing crazy yet...) I don't see myself using E85. Do I need the 9lb pulley?

Do I need the transgo kit upgrade?

My shopping list so far:
Stillen SC kit
Topgunz A2A upgrade
TBatt idler pulley
SI trim upgrade from vortech
Tial QRJ upgrade
Injector Dynamics ID1000 (over kill or am i good?)

What fuel pump upgrade should I do? Is AEM 320 LPH E85 Fuel Pump good?
Which engine/transmission cooler do I need?
So I cannot use the oem crashbar correct? where do I get one that I can use?
What else am i missing?

Im not sure on the 08 uprev only bit. Maybe someone else can verify that.

For 420-450whp you will not need the 9psi pulley, especially if you have the SI trim.

I would go with all tranny upgrades if possible.

The 1000's are not overkill and would be a good choice. An even bettter choice would be the 1050x's. Latest and greatest injector and new technology.

I would go with the aeromotive stealth 340lph pump.
Get the best tranny cooler you can afford. Need to keep the stress off that auto.
OEM bar will not fit. Will need to use the Fast intentions crash bar.

Missing? Depends on your future goals....

Hey Aaron, what would I potentially make if I used Tims no slip kit + 9lb pulley, with your kit.

I'll be using Topgunz's kit, 9 lb pulley, si impeller upgrade and Tbatts's tensioner. I'll be tuning on 91 octane and e85. I'm hoping for mid 500's on e85.

TopgunZ · 09-15-2017, 09:10 PM

Another option for you power hungry guys is the 928 impeller with the high speed ceramic bearings. Couldn't have recommended them in the past but now they are getting some miles behind them and building a rep.

Will be able to squeeze a good amount more of power out of the setup of you spin it faster on the jackshaft side of things. If your going e85 you will 100% need a rfs. But then might as well take advantage of it all and go with the high speeds if you want to surpass 550.

I was going to do the "super vortech" upgrade from 928 but I got a si supercharger for a price I couldn't turn down. With the money I saved I'll probably use it to get a cjm fuel system. Definitely a rfs. I'm going to start with the 9lb pulley and see what results I get. If I'm not seeing mid 500's with that set up then I'll start looking into jackshaft and supercharger pulleys which means I'll probably have to upgrade the bearings.

TOPGUNZ
you have a pm ready to update to the 60degree upgrade and tial BOV. Also going 9lb pulley since I had my auto trans done by level 10.

TBatt · 10-04-2017, 10:43 AM

I've got two more additional pulley kits ready to ship if anyone needs one. PM me for details.

Thanks for all of the orders!

Even with anti-slip pulley, no change on the dyno! Same tuner and dyno who's been doing my car for 4 years now. I'm still not making 9psi? And only making 7.5psi according to his dyno. As you can see my torque also dips down a bit on mid power. Any ideas guys? Link here on IG for more info on my mods list https://instagram.com/p/BZ5KvuSDMrE/batt great product btw and love the sense of humor on the instruction lol.

It looks like you are running the stock Stillen system. That is where your problem is, you need the A2A kit.

What pulley did you install for the 9psi upgrade, the Stillen or the Vortech?

The Stillen pulley mounts on the engine driven jackshaft and my kit will prevent slip on that side but the SC drive belt may be the problem.

By using my kit on the serpentine drive belt and using the Vortech 2A038-295 pulley and replacing the SC idler pulley with a Gates #36225 you should not get any belt slip.
