After installing the kit by yourself, do you think it will fit on a right hand drive car?

From looking at the pictures it looks like most of the piping is under the car from the headers to the rear.

My concern is the piping from the intercooler to the turbo.

Honestly, I don't know. I have never seen a right hand drive 370z.

How was the installation? How long did it take you to do it? On the scale 1 to 10, what would you rate the difficulty to install this kit at? I am debating between this kit and GTM twin turbo kit

I would say maybe a 5-6 out of 10 for the install. Maybe even a 4-5. It was really simple. Just a bunch of bolts and screws.

Hardest part was removing the demon bolts and aligning the turbo. If I did not have to align the turbo and remove the demon bolts, the install would of been a 4 out of 10.

The install took around 90 hours including the installation of gauges.

Key thing is patience and tolerating the fact that you have to run back to the hardware store multiple times.

The GTM kit will be more difficult because of space constraints and you will have to deal with the steering knuckle.

Go with the GTM kit if you want twins and if you are willing to wait.

Go with the BP kit if you don't want to wait and you will have a lot less headaches with the install.

Quality wise, I truly believe BP has GTM beat when it comes to quality. So far no one has had cracking issues with the twin scroll headers.

Have a look at the installation manual: Boosted Performance Instructions

It will give you a good idea on what is involved...I am sure Cell will tell you as well from a personal experience point of view.

Much appreciated. I am waiting for the tax return and crunching numbers lol

Tune issue. Once I got on the dyno and had it custom tuned, it fixed it.

Any updates on this build? I actually saw your car on the lift at PX for an oil change.

norris_83 · 10-16-2015, 06:52 PM

mind if you take a pic of your engine bay with everything installed. Did you manage to put your engine covers back on?
