Hey man, you are not playing fair! Seriously though, great customer service and I know you truly put a lot of passion in to what you do. Great work Sasha.

Thanks, Tony

EDIT: Stop selling to customers that already have my exhaust. Go find some that do not so you can make an exhaust sale. Hahaha!

You know you make a good product when someone who sells a competing product chimes in to give props. :tup:

I have been out of town for about a week and I'm hoping I can get dug back into it tonight. I've been working pretty slow and taking my time. I'm about 10 hours into it including all the time to get the car up off the ground, etc.. I probably have more time left in wiring electronics than I do with the kit at this point. I'm guessing everything with the kit will be buttoned up by Sunday and then I will start in on the gauges and ebc.


Nice! I've installed HFCs on my car by myself so I'm not too worried about the demon bolts. I'm imagining they will break loose right away this time around. I actually didn't have too much difficulty the first time, in fact. Guess I got lucky :)

Good call on starting early. I don't think I'll be able to help myself anyways lol. I'm tempted to go start tearing things apart this weekend but I still need to go get a baseline dyno run so I'll hold off.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product :tup:

Yup, thank you for your business. Order confirmation emailed, as soon as the IC pipes are back from the powder coater, the kit will ship.

Can't argue that. But at the same time, both Tony and I are looking at customer service as the driving force. It is important for both of us, because bad business will ruin your reputation in a hurry. Customer comes first, every time, profit is great, but it is #2 in my books.

Boosted Performance 11-15-2013 09:06 PM

I have had a few guys ask me if I offer any kind of payment plan...and I do.

In the past with some 350z customers I have set this up. A customer can sand as much (or as little) as they can, and as often as they can via paypal. I do not set the amount nor a the time in which the kit has to be paid in full. Everybody has a budget, and knows what they can afford each month. Sometimes it is more and sometimes it is less, it really doesn't matter to me. I do not charge for this service either, as I do not feel it is right. I do keep tabs on the total received, until the total amount is paid. At that point the kit goes out...pretty simple.

I was thinking a free upgrade to a BB 67mm (935HP) turbo, with a 1.32 a/r turbine housing ($790 value). This is as big as you can go with this kit, and I am sure 650whp on 93 pump gas will be a cake walk. This is about 750chp, (for comparison) as some manufacturers rate their kits using chp.

Ah!! If only your kit was compatible with AT, I could've put this offer in real consideration. I always loved the way your kit sounds!:driving:

I just need to man up and build my motor. lol

wheee! 11-16-2013 03:47 PM

I think Mitco will be the one to do it first... he is sooooooo hard on this kit! Thrashing it daily! The motor is gonna give before the kit does! :icon14:

puckshaw 11-18-2013 10:54 PM

Got my baseline dyno done today. Ready for some boost :D

Good man!

Hoping for a quick, clean install for you. As it likely will be!

Boosted Performance 11-21-2013 11:37 AM

2 kits SOLD! 6 kits left, two are pending.

Than you for your business gentlemen.

Shows that you could really drive this car into the ground without NA without any worries at all. I am impressed with this engine to say the least. :) Oh and the kit! lol

Cell 11-22-2013 04:47 PM

Those that do not want to wait should hurry and jump on the 6 kits that are left.

Sasha works fast when it comes down to services and getting your turbo kit.

Hmmm. A proven turbo kit that can be self installed, daily driven and beaten to death!

If only there was a vendor that had them available and ready to ship!

I seriously can't believe that more people have not snapped up this awesome kit! Definitely on the wish list of future mods for me. This years (next season) mod budget is already blown but man, those of you on the fence should really be jumping on this...

Just curious because of the turbo placement: is it safe to drive over snow?

Sturdy enough to drive over a crack addled, drunken mayor!

seriously, the turbo placement is well placed and above the lowest point on the car....

The system is completely closed, and in theory, can operate under water, with the exception of the air filter of course.

Mkai0 11-22-2013 06:48 PM

Good job Boosted Performance,
I would have bought your kit in a heartbeat if you made one for the automatic.

Tempestz 11-22-2013 07:25 PM

Tax season needs to get here... i want one sooo bad...

zefaulter 11-22-2013 08:17 PM

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be in touch once I pay off the car. Really want to avoid the temptation before my payments are over

Not sure why this would be a problem... it's a giant heater, it will just melt snow that gets too close...

OldBoy 11-25-2013 08:37 PM

Not sure about snow (my Z doesn't see any snow whatsoever) but I've put my Z quite a few time through a touch-less car wash that pressure washes the underside and I had ZERO issues with it. I didn't even put the splash guard back on.

The way the kit is designed, the air filter is tucked in between the engine, the frame and the sub-frame, essentially encasing it.

This kit is rock solid. Definitely the best bang for your buck that you can get. Everything in this kit is overkill, everything!! The only thing I would add to this kit would be a fuel return conversion kit. Maybe Sasha should get in contact with Charles @ CJMotorsport and work on a deal for an optional upgrade.

Hey BTW Sasha, does the free upgrade offer for a built block still stands for members that have the kit already? Any rebates for your early adopters from the first batch? :icon17: I was on the fence and thinking of buying a spare block and forging everything, cause, you know, losing traction in 4th @ 110 km/h @ 8psi on the safe tune isn't scary enough :ugh2:.

Thanks for the positive feedback...good to hear you are enjoying the kit.

As for a built engine...I would be wiling to work with the first customer that goes that route. An upgrade to a 67mm turbo would be the way to go, and this is something we can talk about. These 67mm turbos push as much as two GTX2863r's...so a lot of air.

First part arrived today (scavenge pump) and the rest are on their way :D Tear down starts tomorrow. It begins!

The kit has been shipped. My supplier is just waiting for the turbo, and once it arrives, it will be sent to you direct.

Look forward to the build thread. :tup:

Couple pointers that will eventually be in my build thread...

- Get your ECU number and send it to Sasha as soon as you get the UpRev cable. This will save you base map time later.
- Fitting the turbo is the only frustrating part. I found it easier to clock the turbo on the car. Get it close on the bench. Leave compressor side loose. Fit to charge pipe and exhaust manifold and rotate til its perfect. Then tighten two bolts, pull it back out and tighten the rest.
- To get turbo in charge pipe, lube with oil and have someone hold the front charge pipe while you push. Makes it MUCH easier. Make sure the clamp is as open as it will get with the nut still on.
- Pay very close attention to the pictures on the transmission harness. It's kind of confusing at first. I also added heat tape to the harness while I was in there. Once the exhaust manifold and turbo are on, you won't get to it again.

The install is very easy and straight forward. I started my car for the first time tonight and I'm probably a little bit over 20 hours into it working very slowly and 95% by myself. Just need to finish up the gauge install now.

Good luck!

mmmm sooo tempting with my christmas bonus coming up soon.... anyone have links to their dyno sheets? I know ive seen a few but its always the same ones. Prefferably people running 93 pump gas

Cell 11-26-2013 09:52 PM

I am running 93 and made 501whp @ 11.5 psi with oil temps around 205F. Made 490whp @ 10 psi with oil temps close to 180-190F. It is also tuned to be a bit on the safer side if I remember correctly.

Thanks for sharing. Those are def. safe side numbers cosidering the boost presssure.


For those looking at numbers, remember that every dyno will ready differently, and every tuner will tune to what they feel "comfortable" with. The best way to find out how much power you have is to take it to the drag strip like some of my local customers. I think they ran 11's on street tires and 2.2 60' times. Can't remember the trap speed, but it was up in the 120's (from memory). This is with minimal drag strip experience too.

jofro6 11-27-2013 07:16 AM

I do understand every dyno reads differently and tuners will as well... Just trying to get an avg number that people are pushing the kit to. I feel like his 500 at 11psi is on the lower side that ive seen on your kit. Didnt the first one make around 500 on under 10 psi? just trying to remember off the cuff, i could be wrong.

wheee! 11-27-2013 07:28 AM

JMac88 hit 550 whp on the very first kit.....

This was the prototype kit/tune:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...scan0001-1.jpg


At the point where he made 550whp (94 octane), the boost reading was 9psi. We tried to get the boost to hold solid at 10psi all the way through but the VVEL seems to have a drastic effect on boost tapering for some reason. The key thing to look at is that the HP keeps going up despite the slight drop in boost.

Here is another tune with 93 octane gas:

R/T Tuning – Dyno Tuning & Engine Performance Specialists – Boosted Performance + R/T Tuning + Nissan 370z = A Match Made in Heaven


Since the prototype was built, I have switched the turbine housing size to the 1.15 a/r vs the 1.0 a/r that we started off with. It offers more flow, and as a result a more efficient system. With these engines revving so high, I would not hesitate going with a 1.32 a/r turbine housing. It will spool a bit slower, but the top end would really make up for it.

If you are on the fence with the kit, you really cannot go wrong with it.

If you go for a twin turbo kit, expect to spend thousands more. Other kits out there do not come with a downpipe which costs 800+ alone. Then you will need an oil cooler kit too. The BP kit eliminates the downpipe and comes with a oil cooler. If you have someone else install it, it will take less time and cost far less to do the install than a twin turbo kit.

I mean, don't get me wrong, when you are going for big power you should not skimp out on cost. Even though you should not skimp out on it, it is still a factor when it comes to shopping for a kit. With the high quality of the BP kit, the price for it is quite cheap if you ask me.

jofro6 11-27-2013 03:18 PM

I appreciate the info and original kit dyno sheet... Im not sure exactly how the air flow changes with the bump to a 1.15 (i understand that it does change and why it changes), but what does that change correlate to. Just more uptop power, more power across the board, slower spool time, more total power potential but the need for more psi to reach the same power lower in the band, etc?

500-550 is really my starting goal, which is perfect in this kit but would love to down the road build the engine a year or so later and push towards 650+ if possible. How much of a potential difference is there with the upgraded 67mm turbo. Thats the largest that fits the kit i recal reading somewhere correct?
