Talking Twin Turbo (CARB Legal) 2018 370z NISMO



I finally did it.

I've wanted to get my car supercharged for years (see Supercharging in Cali), but was worried about voiding the warrantee and making the car less reliable. But my warrantee is expired now (early 2018 model) and earlier this year, Eugene Turkov (ByThaBay) got his Twin Turbo kit CARB tested and approved. So it was time!

It's not the cheapest forced induction option, but it is pretty competitive with the other twin turbo kits. I can’t legally crank the boost up as high as those of y’all outside of cali, but it’s still pretty quick, and hopefully a bit more reliable than the old stillen kit, which is the only other kit that's CARB exempt.

- install: https://vq37tt.com/products/eac-twin...t-installation

It's got:
- 2x Nissan R35 GTR Turbochargers (re-built by PT Turbo)
- Turbowerx Exa-Pump Oil Scavenge System
- Z1 Urethane Adjustable Engine Mounts
- Denso R35 GTR 650cc Fuel Injectors
- AAM Stage 1 Intercooler
- Omni 4 Bar Map Sensor
- Custom fabricated aluminum piping + black powder coat
- Z1 Oil Pan Spacer
- Z1 Oil Cooler

I just got the car back today, just about 3 weeks after I dropped it off. Pretty quick turn around!

Still need to dyno it and get the final tune.
But so far the car runs pretty great!
It's definitely got a monster under the hood waiting for me to let it out.

Worth noting, we had to delete the NISMO body damper bar, because it overlapped with the oil cooler and pipes. The intercooler might have a little bit of the same effect tho. It's unclear if the bar is necessary off the track, but it's a bummer to lose it (it's not cheap).

Will add some more pics soon!
