I would rather build half as many kits myself that are perfect, than have somebody else built twice the kits with "OK" fitment.

Here is an email that I got yesterday after a customer installed a kit on a 350z:

I plan on keeping this reputation.

Having that kind of reputation in this (or any) industry is rare. It's refreshing to see. Keep up the excellent work.

Yeah, I agree 100% with this statement.

If you are considering doing an AT kit sometime next year I am going to hold out for this kit. It would be late next year before I could do something like this anyways.

Again, amazing CLEAN work.

Question for Sasha

Would you recommend header wrap on the piping to hold in heat and reduce turbo heat transfer to the transmission and floor of the car? Or maybe even ceramic coating or would it just be overkill?

So far I am extreamly impressed!

As far as heat transfer to the transmission and srorounding components it is not an issue at all. However, it would not hurt anything if you do wrap it or ceramic coat it.

There is a lot of air moving around there so the heat transfer would be minimal at best.

unless you beat on it then sit in 90 degree heat in traffic, no? that cant be good for the transmission. do you have alot of your turbo kits on cars say in texas or florida?

Darn car is showing up everywhere! Here it is taking 2nd place at the EME Day Show and Shine in Edmonton.... Note the iPad on the engine cowl. It is running a slide show of Sasha's work!
2nd you say? Ya. Some twerp with a barely modded subie talked the judges into giving him first for having a racing seat....

Well, I have an EGT (exhaust temp. gauge). I can beat on the car and get the temperatures up to 1300*F, but by the time I roll to a stop, temp. will fall down to 850*F. Let it idle for 30 seconds, and it goes down to 700*F. The EGT sensor is right at the header, so by the time the exhaust goes down to the turbo it will be a lot cooler than that due to the heat exchange in the piping.

I do have customers down in the southern U.S where it does get very hot. It is simply not an issue at all.

I also have one customer who really beats up on the car (build motor as well), autocross, drag, top speed events..ect. Not a single issue, and this is with an already crappy 2004 350z transmission.

With the 350z's I have the filter sit close to the exhaust manifold, and the top part of the filter (rubber) is about 1" away of the header. No signs of heat damage. Air is a very poor heat conductor.

The kit is track proven.

So when is this thing hitting the dyno?

sounds good, but have you ever sat in houston traffic at rush hour in August? the freeway surface alone is over 100 degrees. add in all the other cars heat and the fact your not just idling, you are revving a lil, moving forward then stopping.....

your product looks great, im just curious to conditions this kit would be seeing around my area.

Trust me, there is nothing to worry about.

I live in Houston with a similar setup. No issues at all. I did wrap everything and coat some parts.
