Simplicity, though an auto is "simpler" than an MT. :icon17: :p :tup:

I will try to get my car (350z m/t) on the lift in the next few days (if my back feels better) and see what the options are.

Should give me a very good idea on the possibility for an AT configuration.

Maybe I missed it somewhere... but does anyone have video if this turbo kit in action. :) I'd love to see a dyno pull and some video of how the kit runs on the road.

Also, thank you for considering options for the AT 370z.

Have you seen the inside of an auto trans?? ! :roflpuke2:

I received the fuel pump, BOV, waste gates, spark plugs and the gorgeous turbo today!

:pics:

Nice christmas gift! Someone must have been a good boy. ;)

Nothing here. It'll show after christmas I'm sure. :tup:

Awesome vids, would love to see what this kit can really do. Torque could be waaaay better. I know it's part of tuning but the old DE motors held torque to bout 420. These motors can hold way more. I'd like to see a real good tune on this kit. Everything else seems Greg about it, don't hold the power back!

AT: Complex internals, simple operation. :driving:

MT: Simple internals, complex operation. :icon14:


Comparing one mechanically to the other, not based on skill. :tup:

Like you said, torque is a result of tuning. A lot of tuners fee like the 400ft/tq is a really safe number on a VQ37, so it becomes the "norm" so to speak. We had 9psi of boost at about 3600rpm, so for sure the torque could be pushed way up...but why risk it.

I have customer with the DE making very close to 600ft/tq at 18-19psi, so the 62mm turbo is very capable. Perhaps a customer with a built motor will purchase this kit with the 67mm turbo, and push it hard....there may even be an insentive for somebody with an already built engine.

Sebz tuned my car, he told me not to push much more than 400 tq on the stock block...

Do you have any info on people pushing more safely?

Still on stock block here with stock clutch/csc

Precision 6266
551whp/482wtq@10.6psi

I'm pushing 496 safely with my tune from Jon @ Z1. 5k miles boosted n she sees full boost EVERY time. I drive pretty hard, lot of street fun. As I said the DE motors were good to 429 before rods went. These motors r stronger so not sure why people seem to stop at the safe point of the old DE block. Christian also is running good torque. I think I even seen superchargers with the same amount of torque... I guess the crowd here is different.

I'll push the limit of the stock block when I get the kit :tup:
