Which company to install a single turbo kit

CoralZ · 01-09-2021, 11:07 PM

I’ve been looking at the boards to figure out who is the best or one of the best to install a single turbo kit on my 2015 370Z Nismo.

Background is that I was very close to buying a new GTR but it’s absurd that there have been no significant changes interior and exterior and I just couldn’t pull the trigger spending $110K on it. The new Z does not come out for a while and a Nismo version is probably another year out and I can’t help but think it’s going to be underwhelming so I bought a Tesla Model 3 Performance and decided to keep my 2015 Nismo. I’d like to have a little fun with it so I decided I will put a single turbo kit on it. Looking to make 500-550hp so I’m not going crazy with it and plan on using 93 pump gas.

I’m in south Florida but have no problem shipping the car out of state. Horsepower Logic is just up the road from me but I’ve seen some worrisome threads about them. I would probably use HP Logic for repairs or tweaks but not for the actual install.

Who would you recommend for the install? Fast Intentions, Z1 Motorsports or someone else?

Thanks for any guidance.

Boosted performance. Recommend yourself for the installation

Edit: Nevermind, I see you have an auto. In that case, I would recommend skipping FI. The Autos can take a little power, but I don't know if it is worth all the money for the limited power you can make with the autos. Also, Boosted performance kits are not compatible with the autos.

Don’t knock the 7A/T, as built properly-they can hold over 800whp & 650wtq

Currently the best transmission shop going is IPT Performance Transmission’s & speak with John

Lots of big named vendors are using him & everything is holding well

Fastintentions would potentially do the installation; but only with their Twin-Turbo kit & it would be tuned by Sebastian@SpecialtyZ, they also can upgrade your trans. to hold the power

Phone Kevin & speak with him

Lots of supporting mods when boosting; even with 5-550 whp, so definitely a reputable shop.
I’m doing my own installation after engine/trans are completed building, but gonna tune it around 750-800 initially...but that’s on ethanol & not pump 93

MA Motorsports is on the East Coast & have a good reputation....just unsure about Z1’s installation of anything right now

what's wrong with Z1? I was looking at their time attack build and it looks amazing? What did I miss?

Hit up switchback racing, for their single turbo kit. They will install it for you for free.

I know they’ve increased the size of their operations & have added a lotta new people....I order stuff from them, but haven’t actually had them perform an installation of anything, other than an UpRev tune back in 2016’
So.....that’s why I’m unsure about the installation side of their shop vs. these other places mentioned. That’s all, no rocks thrown
