Some custom fabrication just like most of us with the kit.

I just got this email, it is from Hills Garage. They just finished a Booosted Performance mid mount turbo build/install on a 350z. This is the mid-mount kit that started it all:

Sasha,
We were impressed with the performance of your turbo kit. The simplicity of the install was also appreciated. By far the easiest kit I have installed yet. I think we will charge 8-10 hrs +tuning for full install and see how that works out for us. I think that is a fair assessment of time involved for a shop to get everything done neatly and properly. We charge 3x that for a twin turbo kit and sometimes come out on the wrong end of things all said and done "fitting and working properly". The boosted performance install is a walk in the park comparatively speaking. Tuning in our area ranges from 500-1000$ for forced induction custom dyno tune.

I have attached the final dyno sheet from the first tuning session. The car has a Hills Garage longblock,ssv intake,jwt cams. The tune is very conservative at 15lbs of boost. It wanted more timing but I was not giving it to her ... Curious to see what he does with 600whp. Car runs fabulous!



Thanks

Frank Hill

So if any of you guys are down in Baltimore, MD area there is a shop with BP product experience:

Should also mention that the shop was able to modify the exhaust to make it work with the single 3" down pipe that the 350z comes with:

Nice and clean.

A fuel pump relay will now be standard with this kit. This relay will feed the voltage directly to the large, power hungry 340lph fuel pump that is standard with this kit.

Since everybody is easily making over 500whp with this kit, the OEM fuel pump wiring is too small to provide the power needed by this fuel pump. This relay kit will elminate the problem, and open up the window for those looking to push the stock block as well as built blocks.

How much would you sell this kit by itself?

I can't be positive on the 370Z but I know for a fact that the G37 Stillen kit will bolt up to the factor mid-pipe flange. I know this for two reasons; first a buddy of mine bought his Stillen exhaust used and it didn't come with the y-pipe so he had to use the stock y-pipe, second I know several G guys that swapped back to the factory y-pipe becuase they weren't fans of the noise level with the Stillen y-pipe (believe all of them were female complaint issues of the car being to loud).

Based on my research in preparation for the BP kit it appears that the y-pipe for the G and Z are the same and to be honest it makes sense considering that Nissan would want as many pieces similar as possible to limit R&D and fabrication between the two platforms.

However, would be very interested to know from Stillen that this is in fact true.

While you're on the phone with Stillen, if it's not to much of a bother ask them what the specific differences between the G37 and 370Z Gen 3 intake actually are. I know the filters are different, but it'd be nice to know what if any the rest of the differences are. I've got a buddy with a Nismo and I'd like to pass my intake on to him once I go boosted.

Same ? here. I should probably change this over in mine as well.

Boosted Performance 01-13-2014 09:26 AM
Gentlemen, the fuel pump relay was not going to be sold seperately from the kit. However, it seems that there is a lot of interest, so if you wish to purchase it from me it will be $55 + shipping.

wish i saw your post sooner or i would have asked... unfortunately i just got off the phone with adam hume(i think i spelled his last name correctly) and he said the stillen exhaust doesnt bolt onto the stock y-pipe.
this is what i did find on myg37.com josh from stillen
"you wouldn't have the bracket and hardware to secure the filters. The filters from the 370 kit lay on the bumper beam and therefore don't utilize a bracket. that includes the piping, not to mention the splash shield and other hardware that isn't present on the 370Z kit"

is it a must for ppl who just want to stay at the high 400 to low 500whp? any difference from the stock ones from that one if we plan to never go over 500whp?

It comes with the kit now as a standard feature.

I think you should be ok for up to 500whp without it, but it does depend on the dyno you are using as well.

I know at some point they changed the way the Stillen exhaust is fabricated because the ones they make now don't look anything like mine. I know on the G the y-pipe was interchangeable on the version I have. I can see from their new diagram that they have added some sort of x-pipe at what would be the flange mating of the factory y-pipe/mid-pipe. It also appears they use clamps instead of actual flanges. The Stillen I have keeps the factory y-pipe/mid-pipe flange. I assume that earlier versions of the 370Z Stillen would have been the same.

From Stillen Website now
Magnaflow Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust - Dual Split Rear Exit 16820 MA16820 | STILLEN

This is the old version
For Sale Stillen Cat Back Exhaust For G37 Coupe - MyG37

Found a website with an old 370Z Stillen, it had a flanged y-pipe/mid-pipe section aswell:
http://forums.nicoclub.com/nissan-37...m-t565236.html

Short story long, it doesn't appear that if you have a recent Stillen exhaust or plan to purchase new that it will work without having a muffler shop modify to fit BP's piping. If you have an older version it most likely will.

As for the intake. Everything stated above appears to be why the 370Z Gen 3 intake wouldn't fit a G37. Since you don't need the bracket hardware and shield for a Z, wonder if it works in reverse order.

I'll be contacting you for the relay kit soon. Did you ever consider putting a fuel return conversion kit as an option? I'm sure Charles from CJM would be willing to work with you.

I have thought about it, but don't think it is needed for most of the customers. With the relay there is plenty of fuel on tap to really push the limits of the stock block. I think that a fuel return kit is a must for those building the short blocks, and going past 550whp.

Charles is a graet guy, and I am sure if I needed some upgrades on the fueling system to go along with the kit, he would be on board with it.

Most of these (5 out of the 6) are still looking for a new home:

If I can find someone local that wants to take my GTM kit I will be in contact with you.
