Max.. its all relative, they are closer than Speed Force lol...

I dont know much about turbo applications, but I know enough that Vinny Ten http://www.vinnytenracing.com/ is the man to speak to in regard to the 3.5 specifically (and the 2.5 but he doesnt have as many on the road)

He holds the record for the worlds fastest 350z and supra..

Name: Vinny TenTeam: Performance MotorsportClass: Pro RWDHometown: New York, N.Y.Car: 2005 Nissan 350ZEngine: VQ35Career NHRA wins: 2Best e.t.: 6.904Best speed: 208.65Career highlights: 2005: Competed in three races; runner-up at Englishtown 22003: Won both races he competed at (Englishtown 2 and Pomona); Qualified in the No. 1 position twice; Raced to a third place finish in the Modified standings; Set both ends of the Modified performances record (7.714 seconds, 177.32 mph at Englishtown 2; Clocked the fastest Modified pass in NHRA sport compact history (178.46 mph, Pomona)2002: Competed at only two events (Atco - Street Tire, Englishtown 2 - Modified)2001: Made NHRA debut at Englishtown in Modified category

And the cool thing about it is that hes a sweetheart to talk to... He said that if someone came into him (like dangeris) with a CVT lookin for boost, he would talk to SFR, and then get to work developing a custom kit... The following he has in the area is PHENOMINAL to say the least... He invites interested people to give his shop a call and schedule an apt for a facility tour and discussion session.

I actually met him thru my nissan tech (dirty joe) who had worked with him in the past, Vinny was a Nissan Tech in the past and then started in on the turbo scene, has had a star studded track record to say the least.

Install turbo for more MPG! This is highway driving using Sunoco 93.

Pre-turbo I was able to stretch it to about 475 a tank (if all highway). So I guess thats about a 3MPG increase. I've filled with Sunoco 93 since I purchased the car.

My previous fill up before that I "took it to the races" a couple times and only got 300 on the tank LOL.

Uh, I thought MPG would decrease if you turboed your car? Or am I smoking crack?

That all depends if you hammer on the gas or not. It should actually increase if you are highway cruising - but if you are doing some "spirited" driving the gas will be guzzled.

Your mpg will decrease if you are constantly laying on it but FI cars are commonly more efficient than their NA counterparts.

This looks like a shot of your car's mileage, not your MPG

No Kiddin? Wouldn't one be able to calculate MPG using the total mileage on full tank?
