Found this turbo kit!
 
So i am looking to FI my car and went on Ebay and came across this little guy. Less than a G. This has to be too good to be true. for the price I might try it. it says it fits my 2010 370z but Im going to contact and see. Could always resell it. Or am I an idiot (totally possible) and this is not real or something. :ugh2:

Just save your money man. Not even worth it.

DIGItonium 04-19-2013 02:29 PM

Awesome! Let me know how it goes.

What I can tell you is that this is one of those "universal" turbo kits. You will have to do some custom work and fabrication to get it to fit. Either you do this on your own or pay someone to do it. FYI, the sensors in our cars are finicky. Take into account the diameter and length of the intake pipes, or you will go into limp mode. There are lots of variables to getting a universal "kit" to work with this car.

This "kit" doesn't include larger injectors and fuel pump, so you will need to supply your own. You also need colder spark plugs or you'll risk detonation.

You will also need to supply your own ECU programming cable and software, or get one from UpRev.

No one has the base maps for this "kit." If you're lucky, your motor will fire up. Will it idle? Maybe. What happens when you give it more gas? Who knows. Either way, you'll need a trip to the dyno shop to get it dyno-tuned since there's no useful maps to begin with.

The time it takes to get this kit to work? Probably weeks or months depending on your schedule. Compared to a vehicle specific kit? Less than a week.

The closest projects to this quest are the one-off custom projects. It is not without headaches.

The money spent will exceed the cost GTM's new MHI turbo kits.

Your call.

eBay + Turbo kits = bad news

Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true, chances are it probably is.

However, it's your car and you do whatever you choose. Just don't start a new thread after you install the kit asking why your engine is blown.

wow I cant believe this beautiful woman wants to come home with me tonight! Score!

oh no... she has a penis....

edub370 04-19-2013 03:01 PM

wow thats jenky as hell. just look at the parts in the pic. no exhaust manis, no injectors, no name chinabay turbo, generic ic, no tuning software, no fuel pump, no downpipes... this kit fits a 370z as much as i fits a 747. STAY AWAAAAAY

Are you suggesting a future 'regret' thread?

I actually did buy a supercharger from ebay for my last car. had an 01 mustang gt and found a great deal. it worked out fine, never an issue. Im not cheap by any means but do like a good deal when I can get one. this is why I asked cuz Im not very knowledgeable on turbos or imports.

DEpointfive0 04-19-2013 03:57 PM

Jcosta, I love you

kenchan 04-19-2013 04:09 PM

yah, if you want just bent pipes, go to homedepot.

perhaps a thread should be dedicated to the cheap crap that doesnt work and isnt worth buying, would probably be pretty funny. I find all sorts of things that are made for the 370z that im like really :shakes head:

This thread made my day. :)

So let this be a PSA

"This kit might need to custom manifold & exhaust for the complete compatible. Minor modifications or adjustments may be needed for a perfect fit of this Unit"

That translates into "Do not expect these parts to fit on your car. Have fun with cutting and welding to make this generic kit made up of substandard parts work for your application"

EFI Logic 04-21-2013 12:03 AM

you could just send the money to me since you just want to give it away....j/k not worth the hassle save up is my advice.

This thread "blew up" well before reaching the 800 HP as advertised by the kit. :rofl2:

Buying a cheap supercharger or turbo setup is like having unprotected sex with a hot chick that has an std. You know it's going to turn out really bad.
