Switchback single turbo build

seanmorr370

Several weeks ago, I dropped of my 2012 black cherry automatic 370z with 85k miles at Switchback Racing & Vanquish Tuning's joint shop in Oldsmar, FL. I wanted some boost juice.

Hendrik Kuyt of Switchback Racing hit me up with a deal I couldn't refuse on a top mounted precision 6266. Ok plz ty.




Erik Cruz of Vanquish Tuning put it on the dyno and it made 222rwhp - heartbreaker, right? It's a Mustang dyno, and he says it reads low even for a Mustang. The car was also throwing MAF codes and had a bad o2 sensor, and the dirty Typhoon intakes weren't helping. Her feet are also a little heavier than they were stock, and it was a hot, humid summer day in Florida. Then Hendo the Mad Scientist got to work with his tig welder. I ended up having him do some other work as well - a custom 3.5" straight pipe, coilovers, oil catch can, transmission cooler, and oil cooler.

Here is a link to the album with pictures of his top-notch fab work throughout the process:

This is the finished product:

The car is currently being tuned by Erik Cruz @ Vanquish Tuning via EcuTek. He will be programming a launch control into the tune somehow, black magic if you ask me. I will update this post with the dyno results, as well as a couple of before and after pictures and videos in a few days. I will be taking the car to Fl2k18 this year in Bradenton and hope to get a ton of footage of this animal in action. The transmission is still stock (aside from the transmission cooler), so we are going to aim for a soft cap on wtq of around 400-420 and see how things go. I do have plans on having the transmission built next summer.

Current mod list:
Precision 6266
Tial BoV and WG
Stillen transmission cooler
Z1 oil cooler
Tein street basis coilovers
Megan rear sway bar
Custom Switchback 3.5" single exhaust
Custom Switchback oil catch can
EcuTek
Konig Ampliform 19x9.5/10.5 with 265s in the front and 285s in the rear

Next on the list will be a Switchback fuel return system, then I forfeit my other testicle to build the 7at.
