new z and turbo kit

[cody180sx]

I'm looking around for a nice 350z and a turbo kit but i'm stuck. Wat turbo kit should i go with. i'm not new to turbocharging i own a 89 240sx with a sr20 all the work was done by me and friends. Now i'm not a fan of greddy at all. I've had friends with greddy turbos they flat out suck my buddies turbo ka blew out the cartage twice and another buddy that builds some sick hondas and i don't say that about hondas often, says they are not worth it along with the e-manage-Quote from honda dan(i would not waste my time running a e-manage over)-the only thing i did like was how complete the kit is are there other kits this complete and i'm a big hks fan so that kit looks very good just not a complete kit.

[cody180sx]

i know this is sort of a noobish question but i looked it up and there isn't a whole lot info on turbocharging 350z on here. i'm just looking for some pros and cons of kits and why u choose it. thanks

[dasoupdude]

i did 50% of the work, now do your fair share.

[cody180sx]

as i've been looking aroung do they come stock with an open diff?? eeewww

[evildky]

only the base model caem with an open diff, all other models came with vlsd

and on the turbo thing, there are only a couple of manufacturers (well for name brands at least, lots of chinese knock off companies) garret, and holset are the big players, most other brnads are rebadged form one fo them, I am pretty sure hks are rebadged garrets, and so are tutbonetic's

[R350Zz33]

greddy e-manage blue sucks never ever use this

[cody180sx]

now i know that all hks turbos are garrets but they are special made for hks. same thing the hks t04z and the gt35r, big debate with sr guys about the same turbo. The to4z comes in 400rpm earlier and stays in the power range better than the gt35r but the gt35r is like 1200 bucks at the most to4z are 3120 so some people can't justify spending 2 grand more for basically the same thing but i can. I would spend more money on quality and better performance thats just me.

I also was trying to find a pros and cons thread on different turbo kits any ideas

[rmezz13]

twins is probably the best way to go when it comes to turbo charging the car.get the greddy kit, but get a utec by truboxs and throw away the emanage.

[cody180sx]

yeah but i'm not a greddy fan i've seen many a greddy turbo let go so i'm not to found of them rather get something better quality IMO.

Mitsubishi makes them no wonder. haha

here u go its not a standalone but its just as good works like a standalone http://www.importpartspro.com/tuutenmasyni.html

[cody180sx]

i'm really digging the powerlab gt35r or the gt37r kit looks kick a$$ and comes with everything and i was looking into methanol injection also

[R350Zz33]

i want to do tt but dont want to buy a tt kit but no one will sell the turbo exhaust manifold separate, so i have to find some on ebay or have them made for me.i would rather put my own setup together with better turbos and parts and a better standalone.

[cody180sx]

yeah i know wat u mean my friends all bought greddy parts don't get me wrong they do make some good parts but not great my friends could not figure that out when i went all hks on my sr20 why it's faster than are other 2 sr20 in my club. everything hks fits like glove easy to install stuff love them and thats also why i own a hks jacket haha. i'm thinking about if i get the powerlab kit to get rid of the tial stuff and go hks love the sound of the hks loud

[R350Zz33]

hks high power is the only exhaust for me

[cody180sx]

yeah the one for the 240 is massive 85mm piping to a 120mm tip friend got up under the car to look at the transmission with me. he was like dear god i knew it was big but dang i laughed

[R350Zz33]

[MySXisSlowerThanUrs]

The Greddy kit is a good kit. They now come as tuner kits without injectors or ECM. Until recently it was one of the best for the 350Z. The new turbo kits by Gt Motorsports are really the best available now for the Z. They come with a choice of 4 turbo's. GT28R or GT30R turbo's in different A/R's. They are liquid cooled and have a bar and plate intercooler. I just bought one. it should be here next week. Hopefully Friday. This is my 3rd turbo kit for the Z.

The Greddy kit is also more expensive than the GT Motorsport kits. Greddy really raised their prices. I think they are about $7500 now. I think the GTM is about $5800. They make kits for the HR and DE motor.

i'm the kind of person to buy something once and it be usable even when i do more up grades(go big are go home) those kits look nice but the low end kit only does 500hp i want to be able later on to pump more boost after i build the motor. also i'm about to go into the navy so more than likely i'll have to pay someone to do the work even though i would rather do it myself ,because i probably will not have the time,so i really want to get my moneys worth and i would rather put something together than buy someones else's car i hate fixing are replacing something i would not of done sorry i'm so picky haha

Trust signed for bankruptcy in japan imagine they jacked the prices up to make up for the fact

I had to figure out what you're trying to say.... Are yo usaying the GTM kit is not upgradeable? First... those nmbers on the GTM kits are WHP not BHP. You will need more than 1000WHP? I don't think so.

Buy someone elses car? What are you talking about?

[HPz350z]

navy?navy........lets go army.....sorry bout the side note

[tercel drifter]

don't go with a kit they're pretty gay, if ur gonna spend money do it right. go check out what kind of power goals u want once u've got that figured pick out the turbo which you'll need and rebuild engine.

[JETPILOT]

You're gay!

[cody180sx]

no wat i'm saying is i don't want to be limited by the kit. wat is the point of buying a lower end kit then swaping it to a higher hp kit later on when i could have bought the higher end one and and made anywhere from 400 to 1000. wat i ment by buying another person cars like going out and buying a 700 350z and go navy

WTF Are you talking about? All you have to do is change the turbo's. What does the fact that it's a kit have anything to do with it. If you had the turbo kit custom made you'd still end up switching out the turbo's for more power.

Lord.... if I had a nickel for everytime I answered a question posted by someone who is 18yo, doesn't own a Z, is asking about turbo kits, and writes like an r-tard I could have that live in maid I always wanted plus all the change I could ever need for beer, gamb|ing and hookers.

I'm holding out for a pic of your Z. Then we can talk if your willing to listen to people other than your friends.

[cody180sx]

wow wat an a$$ coming from someone who more than likely has a deeper wallet than a understanding of how things work. y buy crap 15 damn times when i can buy it once, they say there lower end kits will take 500hp and if u knew anything about turbos u would know that u would have to change turbos bigger intercooler bigger injectors etc . i could buy the 1000hp kit tune it for 400hp and later on get supporting mods for higher hp bam pay for the stuff once i hate when i see people buy 14 different turbos to get different results when they could have just done it once and i'm not 18 in less than a month i'll be 21 dumba$$

I've been playing with turbo cars longer than you have been alive.

The more you open your mouth the less you seem to know. Go buy what you want. Make a custom kit out of unobtanium piping and whatever else your friends tell you to use.

If you want to buy turbo's that may spool up by christmas time until you build your motor for your 1000whp that's fine. That's not the right way to do it but you wouldn't know that. Do you know how to read a compressor efficiancy map?

You got it all figured out, but your the one asking the questions about 350Z turbos aren't you!
