new z and turbo kit

[cody180sx]

u just started to attack me when all i did was ask questions. i've never turbocharged a z. i have my way of doing things u have yours the only way to learn something is by asking questions and i do know a little more about turbos than u think i just ask wat would be a good kit and is sounds like u don't know wat your doing if your on your 3rd kit sounds like u just throw money at the problem i'm not a damn astronaut or doctor so buying 45 turbos is not the best option for me. could have saved your self the money if u did a little more research and bought the damn kit once and anticipated wanting more later thats all i'm doing the powerlab kit does 900hp on a built motor wait thats more than your putting down wat do u know

i'm gonna but in and say " i personally wouldn't argue with jetpiolet about turbos". Besides that how long would it take to make power with a high power kit tuned for low power. The 350Z stock can only handle about 400 whp. If you want a big power kit there are plenty out there, why so against kits? because you want to buy piece by piece and then never have it complete and end up selling it all and never turboing the car?.... Those kits you hate on are engineered designs and will always be more efficient than anything "you" could create. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about, so either buy a kit and save yourself some hassle and dyno/tuning time (which isn't free) or STFU and GTFO.... buy a Z first, then talk about modding it. It is probably the most exspensive car to mod in the japanese import line...

man i'm a very patient person took me a year to swap my sr20 weekly buying things i need stuff like that. I'm the kind of person that only wants the best why would u spend 15,000 21,000 dollars in jetpilots case(say each kit is like 5- 7 grand) when i could just do it once (wat the hell do u do to justify spending this much just because u can i'm not rich) i like some of the kits just some have problems to me the powerlab kit looks about the best to me but i'm not a fan of tial so i would just spend a little extra cash and swap the tial stuff out for hks not Frankensteining a kit. i don't think u guys are getting wat i'm trying to get at. Like i have a problem with greddy in general so that kit is a no go aps apparently has problems with the turbos and that kit jet tried to show me was not in my best interest i just wanted to know wat are some of the kits everyone else runs are if they change something out they didn't like

[rmezz13]

jetpiolet just tried helping you and you argued with him.... he had the turbonetics kit, the greddy kit, and is now trying this new one he found. He is the man to talk to about it, but you didn't like what he had to say.... If you want, buy a kit you like and swap everything out, but how do you know you don't like it if you don't try it?.... honestly you can take someones word for it but don't truely know until you try it.question. what do you have against greddy? did a turbo fail on you? you know every turbo out there has been owned by a person that has had it fail. My buddy had 2 brand new garret turbos fail on him and still bought a third - now has no problems but still happened.

[cody180sx]

i've seen greddy turbos fail a lot and there engine management systems are a joke(read first post) and i''ve seen many hondas blow them too. i in no way was trying to start something just the kit said good to 500 hp and the 1000hp was way over priced so no reason to buy something i was not comfortable with are thought was in my best interest i could go buy the low end kit resell the turbos and buy gt30r for less than they were asking just for a little bit bigger turbo

[cody180sx]

this is wat i have been looking for a break down of all the kits for the z

Greddy turbo's don't fail alot. They are pretty much bullet proof unless your road racing your car. As far as engine managment Greddy sells tuner kits without the e-manage or injectors. Greddy also sells two kits now. One with -18G turbo's and -20G turbo's.

But forget the Greddy's.... they are overpriced. The best kit out there is the GT Motorsport kit. The Garrett GT-R turbo's are bullet proof. Most road race teams use Garret turbo's including Porsche. In my opinion they are the best turbo's out there. The GTM kit is made in the US. You need support... it's just a phone call away. The setup comes with the best of everything. TIAL BOV, TIAL WG's, cast iron manifolds, external wg's, 3" downpipes with the option of atmospheric wg dumps or recirc. All 4 kits are the same except for the turbo's. I don't see what more you could want.

I have seen people build turbo kits and none of them were anywhere near as low as the cost of a kit, and for one reason or another never really worked out.

If you want cheap forced induction get a used Greddy 18G kit for $4000. With meth that should get you to about 750whp.

The reason I have had 3 turbo kits is becasue the turbonetics was junk. The Greddy turbo's aren't the best for road racing. The GTM kit with the Garret turbo's will work best for me.

thanks man that's all i wanted to know. as of late everyone has been quick to jump the gun, when i are someones else didn't agree with something. i in no way was calling out the kit as junk are wat ever u though. And on a personal note i really don't like greddy everybody knows there is some companys u would never in a million years use there parts be it megan racing (witch i like my motor and trans mounts are solid) are greddy are wat ever. I on a first hand account have seen the reliability of greddys parts and i don't like them not that i haven't seen a hks turbo go are any other company( google greddy blow turbo and the google hks blown turbo).

Is the gtm kit very popular i haven't seen alot of people run them. Wat made u decide to go with that kit.

[rmezz13]

For the record i jumped your butt because you were quick to argue when people were trying to help.... thats all

It's pretty obvious why the GT Motorsports kit is the one to get. It has Garrett BB turbo's, TIAL BOV, external TIAL WG's, water cooling, bar and plate intercooler, cast iron mamifolds, 3" downpipes with the option for venting to the atmosphere or recirc. The turbo's are mounted high enough to allow for gravity oil return instead of using a scavenge pump. The intake pipe has an integrated MAF sensor mount that does away with the need for the plastic OEM MAF housing.

No one has the GT Motorsports kit because they are new and only a handful are out there.

My choice was between the GTM kit, the JWT kit, the PE TT, and the APS TT kit.

The APS TT kit doesn't use external wg's and they have issues with their wg actuators. Customer service sucks. Price sucks!

The PE has internal wastegates. Price was way too high.

The JWT kit has internal wastegates and no downpipes.

The GTM kit is the only one that comes with 3" downpipes and the option for atmospheric dump or recirc.

Could you please write in the proper Queens English? If you can't communicate in my language I won't answer your questions. If your joining the Navy then reperesent yourself in an appropriate manner.

sensible advice right there. nice one Jetpilot.

[cody180sx]

i hate typing, some people can read it just fine and one letter can throw the whole thing off, like my last statement should have been someone instead of someones but chill out with the grammar Nazi thing the navy has nothing to do with how i carry myself in the real world.Your not my English teacher nor am i typing a paper for u to grade. Politely ask me what i said or typed.

[aris_unlimited]

navy has nothing to do with how i carry myself in the real world.

Actually you joining the military has everything to do with how you carry yourself in the real world. You will be representing a branch of the armed forces not to mention a country.

Believe me on this one, anything you do to make the Navy/USA look bad WILL come back to haunt you. Military/Law enforcement etc. in particular care a great deal about what you do, because you can make them look bad. And the last thing you want to do is make your (most likely very patriotic) superior angry with you because you're acting like a jackass.

As for the whole grammar thing. It's not the most important thing in the world. But when used properly does make it easier for people to understand you and help you with whatever it is you need help with. Also having good grammar can be a point of pride. Have pride in the way you respond to things. Also writing poorly will just make people ignore what you are saying, because if you didn't take the time to make it understandable for everyone else "why should they take the time to help you?"

Don't take this too harshly, just some advice.

[cody180sx]

i know what you are saying but in school i was never good in spelling and all that, but i can do physics and calculus etc... spelling on the internet has nothing to do with how i carry my sell in the real world or how smart you are is what i meant. he was making it seem i was embarrassing the military with poor grammar?

[Z31toZ32]

the navy has nothing to do with how i carry myself in the real world.

make sure to mention that when you get interviewed for your SC or TS

[cody180sx]

i'm going to stop some people seem not to read at all

MY INTERNET SPELLING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW I CARRY MY SELF IN THE REAL WORLD READ FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!

[JETPILOT]

IF YOU DON'T CARRY YOURSELF LIKE THIS IN THE REAL WORLD THEN WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S OK HERE!

I'm sure you're lingual skills are quite eloquent in person. I'm willing to bet you're 12yo.
