The kit will push well beyond the limits of the stock block, so unless you are running a built motor and trying to squeeze every ounce out of it, I personally don't see the point...

Did you see Sasha's picture of the 3.5 manifolds vs the 3.7 manifolds?

Glad I can provide the :rofl2: I think it’s funny how things backfire sometimes.

Restocking fee is called a restocking fee for a reason. Same as overhead expenses... When delays and expenses comes up because of third party issues, that should not be held against the customer.

Yeah me too. It just sucks it was at my expense :ughdance:

Needless to say, im certain I have made the right choice :nutswinger:

Yeah, but I'm starting to feel pretty bad for the guys. If you're a business owner, to see a project like that go from so successful to complete disaster has got to be brutal.

I agree completely.

The quoted part was GTM's post where they "indirectly" called out FI and BP while touting the MHI kit as the best thing since sliced bread.

Unfortunately, it is not a good situation for the customers/community. That is the bad part. We all share the same passion for this hobby, and most feel the pain of others when something doesn’t go according to plan. It is a lot like a family.

At the same time, a bit of research on a company and their reputation will go a long way when it comes to making a decision like this, and handing over a large amount of money. I started with this turbo stuff 4 years ago on the 350z forums, and can always tell (potential/new) customers to research what my customers have said in the past, and how I go about things. There is something to be said about history…it will almost always repeat itself.

Mmhmm - that was the first picture I saw when looking into it.

Either way - my thought process behind aftermarket headers is that, I am in search of the MOST efficient way to make power. I've been doing my research and looking around, and I feel like if there is room to be had with the stock manifolds, I would definitely go that route, provided I do end up going BP or something. :tiphat:

Cost and time of doing aftermarket manifolds is not an objection to me. In the long run, I'll get there.

The way I look at it is that there is no point of doing headers on a stock block, unless you are really looking at squeezing every possible HP out of the kit. Since the kit with OEM headers will make power effortlessly, and a lot more than the stock block can handle, there is no reason to go aftermarket. If you are building the block after all, then it is easier to install the headers with the engine out, since you have to pull it for the build anyway.
That is my though process on this.

uuggg, had to be holiday season, Ill be ordering one of these kits some day soon.

I have more questions LOL after reading puck's build thread.

Just shoot me a pm...I get to answer a lot of questions through PM's..:tup:

will do, you should probably have a spot on the first page for all these questions im sure they get asked all the time. You have already answered most of my questions. im going to go back and read the first part to make sure you havent already answered my nOoB question to boost and boost control :tup:

No worries, if you can't esily find the answer, just send a pm.

Sasha, Did you make any attempts on a 7AT kit?

No, not yet.

:facepalm:

Step one: read posts
Step two: send car to Sasha for AT Turbo development
Step three: buy an MT car....

Sasha you should design a twin turbo kit that replaces the cats while also keeping the idea of it being a easy install and also fitting the 7auto. This would probably also fit the manual guys and end up with smaller turbos.

Make it fit RHD cars as well! :)

Big single > Small twins

Sasha has a unique market segment for the singles, the twins have been done by many others....

my :twocents:

Nothing wrong with an extra twin option out there. It would be an awesome kit if you think about it. Easy to install plus Sasha's service that fits the 7at. Can't go wrong.

I don't disagree, whatever Sasha would design and build would be awesome, yet I don't know if he would want multiple products for such a limited market of cars...

Yes I don't know if he wants that either. But with turbo, the demand is there just a matter of putting it at the right price. Look at the MHI for example. It pushed the price point so low that people that normally would not go force induction ended up doing it.

Sasha is more about the quality and performance over price; he is just able to sell so reasonably because he is a one man show and can keep his costs down. That and he is Canadian. Canadians are just nice people... ;)

His current kit is real cheap as it is if you think about it.

I had GTM send me a invoice for the mhi kit with oil cooler and 3" downpipes. Cost came out to around 7400. Sasha kit at its current price point is cheaper and comes with an oilcooler.

Install quotes will run about half the cost, or you can do it yourself. Theres at least another 1000. Comes with an oil cooler, 500. This is THE one and only value kit out there, with no compromise in quality.

Like I have said before, if you want to go forced induction, and save big bucks, you don't need to look into kits that are mass produced.....

And you can't put a dollar amount on the customer service...

Boosted performance takeover

1 - I read all of the First Round list but I haven't paid much attention to this one. Meh.

2. - Sure why not... My car is just sitting doing nothing right now. As long as Sasha would give me the parts at cost I would be game. :)

3.. - No way dude. I enjoy not rowing the gears on a daily basis.

Five kits still on the shelf.

I'm working on it !!! ;)

That reminds me! I should check my lottery tickets from last week! You never know....

I have had a few customers from AU/UK cars ask if this kit will work on RHD cars. I can say with 100% confidence that it will not. The steering knuckle being on the opposite side is the deal breaker:

There is just no room for the IC pipe and the air filter.



Happy new year everybody!

The weather finally warmed up a bit yesterday so I got the chance to kick the tires around a little bit for the first time....................... OMG

Words cannot even begin to describe how night and day different this car is. When you want boost, it is there. Immediately. At the same time, I was able to drive to the store and around town a little while staying completely out of boost when I wanted to. I have yet to turn the EBC on so I'm only at 7 PSI, but I have zero traction for the first 4 gears if I lay into the throttle. And this is with 305's on 11's.

I do have a pretty good rattle that I think is coming from the front horizontal charge pipe, but I want to put some more miles on the car before I get back up in the air and tighten everything down again.

I absolutely couldn't be happier with kit, customer service, power delivery, and feel. Best money I have ever spent on any car ever and it's not even close. Job well done Sasha.

Awesome :) Enjoy the car my friend. Check the exhaust running over the cross member to see if that's your rattle. Mine was making contact and I had to shim the cross member.

When do you go back to dyno?

The shop has been booked up and closed a lot over the holiday so I'm still waiting to get something scheduled with them. Car has just been sitting and waiting :(

Good to hear! You're going to have a blast!

We have about 5 inches of snow right now in Chicago... :(

At 7 PSI, I was making around 430-440 whp. wait till you push it to 9-11psi.

Glad to hear you enjoying the the car, and all that power.

As for the rattle, it is often something very simple. Let me know if there is any issues, and I will do my best to help you correct it.


Still have those 5 kits...:).
