I agree with you on that Galeforce especially on the completeness part sasha includes everything you need with his kit. This kit is still #1 on my list of Turbo options.

Hey sasha what's up, i'm currently on youtube right now looking at some videos of BP 350z. Most of the video i've seen were dyno vids and in cars videos. i cant wait for mitco39 to post some flyby videos this spring when the weather finally breaks for good. Thanks for the reply's guys.

I cant wait to make them! It sucks that we got a huge dump of snow here over the past week. I was hoping to start taking out for short burns until this happened.

:iagree: I have one short video of my first drive. Down the street and back (no exhaust) at a crawl, nothing exciting. I will have some proper videos, and some dyno numbers soon...

10 FMIC brackets built today...:)

All the materials are arriving now, so there will be a lot of progress in the next month or so.

The list I have at this time is 15 deep, and I will do my best to take care of everybody.

Nooice! Hope I'm in the single digits on that list! :D

Track usage
 
Just wanted to say that yesterday was my first track day with the turbo kit installed and everything worked flawlessly. I did put heat wrap on the piping underneath the transmission just for good measure. The car is a beast and by the end of the day I was getting used to it and nobody in my run group was able to pass me. It took a while to learn to modulate the throttle appropriately out of the turns since the boost comes on so quick. Once I got that figured out it is very driveable and quick quick quick!

Hey ENT-Z, Thanks for the info. What was the hottest car in your group besides your Z? (that didn't pass you) ...hehe

What is your suspension setup? Are you lowered? How about wheel and tire info? :tiphat: Thanks

I expect this to be a very common theme among BP kit owners.....

So, are you saying my "throttle mash technique" isn't recommended when exiting corners now? :icon17:

Boosted Performance 03-24-2013 06:34 PM

Rob, thanks for the feedback. I am glad that you are happy with the performance, and that the kit is performing flawlessly....as it should.

I know there were a few posts/comments made (along with cheap shots) by one competitor with an alternative kit, saying that a single turbo will never spool as fast, or be as responsive as twins. Now that the boost curves have been posted, it is clear that this twin scroll kit outspools it by about 400rpm going from a stop. This will also translate to better response on the track as well. The twin scroll trully does work, and work very well on these cars.

Sometimes you just can't believe what you read, and have to do some research in order to make the right call. An educated customer will always make a better decision when it comes to spending his/her hard earned money on ANY aftermarket mod.

NitrousZ34 03-24-2013 07:06 PM

Great news. I'm looking forward to getting this kit when the next batch is available.
