Boosted Performance single turbo results

Boost_lee

great numbers!

This thread just might have convinced me to keep the Z for good

Good results, Congrats

So, I'm interested but now I have a Question.

You had to install a manual boost controller.

Will the kit come with that part?

If not, what power should we expect from the kit that will be shipped?

Boosted Performance

Thanks! I was looking at peak power and what boost pressure I land at if I was to draw a line straight down. Either way, it is solid power, and the car drives just like stock. The tuner said that if we were to maintan 10psi we would get to 530+..but that is just a guess.



Thanks Sam. I am sure there are a lot of faster cars out there than this. This however is just the tip of the iceberg, and the turbo in reality is still sleeping. I am sure you would agree that the billet wheels don't even wake up till 20+ psi.This car is also a DD during the summer, so things were kept conservative, to a degree. The 67mm turbo would have yielded even more power at the same boost level as well. In time I guess, once people start building these engines we will really see this thing shine with the larger turbo and a 1.32a/r housing.





The kit will come with all springs for the wastegates. So, the end user can select whatever combination they wish, to run whatever boost level they desire. The boost controller will ensure that the boost does not fall off a bit at the upper rpm range.






....really, so people can't make a joke anymore? If one finds that offensive then I feel sorry for you.

Instead of feeling sorry for insulting half of the potential 370Z community, just understand that there are 7AT's boosted as well with similar numbers, and not promoting a perception of inferiority would be a good idea.

As the exhaust back pressure increases (with RPM's) the plunger at the bottom of the waste gate is exposed to it. This works with the spring and opens the plunger/waste gate more as RPM's rise. The spring in the waste gate also gets hotter as exhaust temperatures rise, increasing spring elasticity, making it easier to compress.

This is why we have the boost controllers. As the timing was increased the drop in boost increased a bit as well. This is just the nature of a turbo system. The boost controller also helps in spooling the turbo a bit faster. You will find that most cars out there with a turbo system do have a boost controller of some sort.

Thanks for the info.

very interesting. This is very much what I would be doing for my Z setup, setting it up as a daily driver so knowing I had major overkill in the build makes me feel better.

It was a joke man, not an insult. Are people that uptight these days? At no point did I say that this is an inferior kit either..I just stated the advantages over some other systems. Let's not get crazy here.



I appreciate it..

XwChriswX

It's not that people are uptight, it's just why even mention the 'type of people' who buy one option vs the other when it doesn't bear any influence on your kit, or it's potential numbers. (Which were very good)

It's not that you were saying one kit was inferior, it was the statement about AT drivers being more interested in baking rather than turbo's... Whether or not you meant to insult them, like it was said, it's the internet, perception is reality. If someone perceives you insulted them, the damage is already done..

Looks like someone took a logic class or two. Actually Perception IS Perception. Reality is the truth behind the percption.

Example: If two people see an accident from different sides of the street and one witness swares on her life that person A caused the acciden't and witness 2 says its person B...yes, perceptions is their perception. However, If witness one's statement wrongfully sends person B to jail, then the "reality" is that an innocent person went to jail. There is no perception of them going to jail; its a reality. When our preception is wrong then so is our reality.

Consider this: When you say I've wronged you and I say I'm sorry, there is nothing more I can do. For at this point any further issue belongs to you.

I wish my photoshop skills were good enough to chop a Buddha in a 370z

one thing is for sure, that with this kit youll be baking plenty of tires

Boosted Performance

I am glad that at at least one person can see it as a joke, and build on it..


Well, I don't think it is fair to compare it to the supercharger kits, so that is off the list right off the bat. The torque with the supercharger kits usually stays lower, and the area under the curve is also lower on average.

The "other" single turbo kit is just too far from the engine, spool is also slower as a result, and as a result power is limited.

TT kits are great, and do provide ample of potential for a stock or built block. This has been proven and there is no arguing that. The advantage of this kit over that is that it is very easy to install and take half the time (cost). It is also easy to maintain because all parts are easily accessible.

I changed the turbine housing on this kit couple of days ago to a larger one (to allow for better flow) and even with the hot exhaust it took only about an hour. With things cold, it would be about half that. This for example is the only thing one would have to upgrade if one is to build the engine and go for more power. Wastegates are also easy to get to and the springs can be changed without ever removing them from the car.

The kit also comes with an oil cooler, larger than competition standard injectors (750cc vs 600cc), and larger than competition fuel pump (340lph vs. 255lph)

Disadvantages....at this point a customer can only use the F.I exhaust because this is what the down pipe was built to work with. In time others will come available. The kit does not fit the a/t transmission car. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. Some may consider the removal of the crash bar a disadvantage as well. The FMIC weighs more than the crash bar, so it is a substantial amount of aluminium there.


I should also mention that you don't have to remove the washer fluid reservoir, there is nothing to drill, nothing to tap. It really is a true bolt on kit.


Can you please move on. Everybody has gotten over it except you. I am not sure if you are going to be at a disadvantage if I lose a couple of customers....last time I checked there is only one person on the payrol here...and that is me. If it brings my business down...I guess I will just have to live with it.




To the rest...thank you for the support. I am looking forward to working with a lot of you on a kit taliored to your needs. Should have a lot of happy customers once these start moving out the door.

1. Is there anything in the works to make this kit available for AT drivers?

What are the specific limitations that prevent it from working with the AT?

2. CS that's all...
