I'm guessing with the Single turbo, it spools up much quicker, does that have any effect on initial response with wheel slip or anything? Can't wait to see Install Threads/Videos/Dynos/Strip runs and drive by's. I will read back through the development of this kit, you've really got me intrigued. Now you were talking about clutch/flywheel upgrades for the 6MT, of course. For the 7AT, are you looking at requiring/will be needing upgrades there as well? I know GTM has AT upgrades, but as with anything else with the GTM branding, it's going to be insanely expensive (but worth it). Are you expecting the 7AT guys to have to upgrade bits with this kit as well?

omg. I just spent 2 hours reading this entire 89 page thread. I'm even more <3 for this kit now. An amazing product, and a strong dedication to precision and meticulous craftsmanship and customer service. You're giving Tony from F.I. a run for his money on best customer service seen here
After looking through it I only had 1 real question/observation: The 2 cars that had posted pics of installs both had the Stock sway bars. Has there been anyone with aftermarket sway bars looking to install this kit (preferably Whiteline since that's what I have)? Only reason I ask is for clearance between the sways/oil fittings/lines/etc.? And lastly, can someone go kick down the door of that guy who said he'd drop off his 7AT with you and steal borrow his keys/car so you can get under it and see if it is impossible to rig up a kit for the 7AT... Perhaps your next batch of 6 should be for 7AT drivers...

Its funny how GTM advertise their stage 2 kit for "600" WHP when their kit runs out of fuel at 500 WHP The 3rd reason why this kit is better because this is a true full kit and true full bolts on! and here is why This kit comes with Oil pan spacer for turbo lines, while gtm you either have to drill your stock pan or purchase a spacer. This kit comes with Oil cooler, GTM kit doesn't come with that so you cant go to track with GTM kit otherwise say hello to overheat and goodbye to the engine. This kit comes with large injectors and fuel pump to be able to make "600" hp without running out of fuel. While GTM comes with 600 injectors and 255 that are known to max out at 500 WHP. And there are many other reasons but last and not least, when Boost performance gives you a lead time for kit. it will come in time or even before that! but with GTM? I don't even wanna talk about it Don't get me wrong, I have GTM TT kit for my self but im just saying the true facts Way to go Boosted Performance!

The aftermarket sway bars have the same shape as OEM, and are only a bit larger diameter. This should not be a problem at all. The oil fittings are also way up there with the OEM oil pressure sensor, so there is no chance of contact. Now that you now know that this kit does not work with the 7AT. I will try to do something about this in the spring/summer next year. If I can find the donor car, by all means I would do my best to make this happen. The manifold will have to be different for sure, and I am not sure if I can keep the twin scroll for it. The OEM 7AT oil pan is so large, and takes up a lot of valuable space under the car. I have been known to perform miracles though....so you never know. Quote:
IMO, if it is needed, why not make it a part of the kit. It saves the customer the run around and frustration. When I say this kit will support 650whp in the Stage I form (that is over 700hp as advetised by others, since they advetise flywheel) out of the box, I mean that because I have customers that have done it. No further upgrades to the kit are needed, of course other than the turbine to support the flow. That however is only about $250, and takes 30 minutes to swap (5min if the turbo is out). I think it is also important to mention service if something does go wrong. I have a local friend who blew one of his turbos on the APS TT kit on his G35. The bill on that: $4,500. The shop pulled the engine out to remove the turbo, so that set him back $3,000 alone. He ened up getting both turbos rebuilt...and the kit only had 11K miles on it. The turbo that comes with the BP kit cost about $450 to rebuild (by the manufacturer, Precision turbo), and I can't see a shop charging more than 2.5 hours labor for removal install.

VS manual: You can see that the turbine housing with these turbos is rather large..this is what allows this kit to make the claimed power. It would be difficult to do, but I can always try.

Double twin croll...that would defeat the purpose and simplicity of the systems. You also need at least 4 cylinders for that to work...so a V8 with an alternating bank combustions cycle. If a local opportunity comes up for me to look at this option, I will. As it sits now, I can't keep up with the demand of the 3 rurbo kit options I offer for the VQ's. I am going to start building 4 kits for the 350z guys right away. After that it looks like I can easly build another 6 370z kits, and those would be gone instantly.

My god man, I just read through each page of your thread and it was the best read I have had in a long time. It also pisses me off that I didn't have the patience to wait and get your kit. I haven't even installed my Stillen yet and I want to sell it already.
Great build, you have some mad skills. Can't wait to see the 7AT thread come to light.

If completely impossible, understood. Just really would love a kit for a 7AT.

We might be flogging a dead horse here. The whole purpose of this kit was power and simplicity. The auto transmission is just too big!!

Having said that, I understand your desire to have this kit!
