Pricing and Availability for NICO from IAP

[Gofast1]

Here is the pricing we promised you

Stage 1 Kit : $2599Stage 1+ Kit: $4499Stage 2 Kit: $6899

A couple quick words on the kits for our new family:The kits all include a Greddy Type RS BOV just for NICO, the Walbro 255 LPH High Pressure fuel pumps and SHIPPING to the continental US. All kits I/C piping and couplers will be black unless otherwise noted by the customer. The wastegates dump to atmosphere, many attempts have been made to reroute the exahust gasses back into the downpipe and boost creep occurs. The only things not direct fit in the box are the wastegate dump tube and the intercooler mounting brackets. Only reason for this: all of our cars are aging and many of us are the 2nd, 3rd or who knows what owners of them. Things like hoses, braces, suspension parts and bumpers move over time, Nissan didn't always make them 100% exact, or the car has been in a fender bender which makes it impossible to have a perfect fit on everyone's cars. What IS included are the brackets themselves (you drill for best fit) and a flange and dump pipe for the wastegate (you fit and have aimed to your liking).

All kits right now are running a 4 week turnaround time, not more, not less. Yes it is a long time, and we are working on it, but we would much rather give you the REAL timeframe than to have you be disspointed because it doesn't arrive when we told you it would. We expect this condition to lessen in July, but for June count on 4 weeks. I made a joke about the Snickers bars, but in reality what we end up waiting for the longest are the turbos from ITS. They make them for US only and they are 100% fresh cast, NEW turbos, and coupled with a 1 week ship time from California, adds to the turnaround time. Just so you all know, this was mentioned to AZHitman before we decided to join your family and his advice and our business practice is to be up front and honest at all times for reasons stated above.

Obviously, for the time being, the kits are first come, first serve, so please place your orders accordingly.

For the order process, simply email us that you are a NICO member and we will send you a Paypal email invoice which you can pay to get the ball rolling.

Manifolds and downpipes are also being offered at a discount to NICO.

IAP Manifold for KA24E or KA24DE: $449IAP Mani w/EGT Port: $499

IAP Downpipes: $165SR20DET DP mates to IAP DP: $159All IAP Manifolds and DPs include shipping to your DOOR in the continetal US.

Any other items you may need, please email for pricing and we will be sure you get the best price possible.

As always, email with questions, concerns and thanks again for inviting us to your family!

AWESOME prices Marc!! I knew you were planning on offering a discount, but jeez these numbers are way better than I expected! I seriously might have to jump on one of those manifolds myself....

haha and I made that information joke before you wrote in all the actual prices.. for a few minutes there all you had posted was "here are the prices.." and nothing else. Just messin with ya man haha

[AZhitman]

Wow.

We have CLEARLY hit the ball outta the park with this one.

Please form a line and kick me square in the crotch for not getting this set up with IAP back in December.

Big props to Marc, IAP, and our KA-T moderators for putting this together.

Who's gonna be first?

[fiznat]

Hey Marc I actually have a couple questions for ya about your downpipe setup, I'm sure others have the same questions as well:

1. Is the "IAP downpipe" a complete downpipe to the cat, or are both the "IAP downpipe" and a SR downpipe required to make the connection?

2. Is a 3" version of the downpipe available (and will it fit well)? Most high boost turbo applications that I know of use 3" from the turbo back.

3. Find any pics of the S13 fittment?

Thanks Marc, looking forward to doing some business with you!

[Gofast1]

Fiz,

Great questions, here ya go:

1.The IAP DP AND SR20 DP are required to make the connection. We did this for two reasons: a) this way we can fit all models of 240s and both engines that came in them without fitment issues. b) we can start with a 3" pipe as soon as 19" after the turbine housing.

2. There is no 3" DP as of now, see above for why. We don't feel a 3" DP for 19" of exhaust length warrants the fitment issues everyone would experience as the DP would certainly hit the brake master cylinder and/or the transmission in alot of cars with those issues I spoke about in the post topic. Too many variables in the equation. Also, 3" pipes tends to have a 'crazy' angle coming off the turbine side which kills any additional flow the 3" pipe gave you to begin with. As a point of interest though, we have tested both sizes on our own Stage 2 car on a dyno and there was no difference in performance whatsoever.

3. We have emailed customers with the S13 DOHC engine Fiz and just waiting to hear back/receive photos. Will get those to you ASAP.

Thanks guys!

Hi, I was wondering, how is ignition timing adjusted or controlled in the Stage 1 kit? I see that the Stage I+ kit comes with the JWT ECU. TIA, and congratulations on having a very nice kit at an even nicer price

[grimple1]

Just reading the Stage 1 Instruction Manual and had one glaring question.

1) Step 7 has you cutting into the driver fender well. What's that all about?

http://www.import-autoperforma...l.htm

Great Prices!

[wchs85]

is there any chance that IAP will offer other parts besides turbos at discount prices such as Billet Flywheels etc?

[Florida240sx]

I'm confused about that cutting as well...

[fiznat]

Isnt that the hole that the hot pipe goes through to get down towards the IC? I guess it could be called part of the strut tower as well, or fender well...

[turtl631]

The downpipe is hard to make full 3" b/c the common ford 5 bolt T3 exhaust flange can't fit a full 3" pipe and still bolt up...you need a 2 3/4" reducer. Have the boost creep issues with these manifolds been fixed? I know there were issues with the older ones. Did they have the WG recirculated back into the downpipe?

[Bronze MFP]

Another quick Q, why the High pressure walbro pump? I thought the regular 255lph was good enough? Is the JWT ecu programmed for the high pressure?

[Adikt]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the wastegate dumping to the atmosphere be rediculously loud?

[rn240sx]

IAP Downpipes: $165SR20DET DP mates to IAP DP: $159All IAP Manifolds and DPs include shipping to your DOOR in the continetal US.

Hey Marc, by chance, which brand SR downpipe are u using cause there are like 15 brands out there... And im sure they are all the same, just some are made better quality pipe and or coating...

[Gofast1]

Hey gang,

Sorry took us so long to reply, we are working double time to get orders out so we get to that 'in-stock' position we mentioned.

The cutting is very minor...as Fiznat said, it's just so the hot pipe can get to the lower intercooler pipe. If you look on our manual on our website, there was much more cutting done to our car that is pictured than is now necessary. As Bronze stated it is simply the area below the sotck air box. It is not structural, in fact your cuts never even have to get near the lower box frame. There is a lso a plastic fenderwell cover that still covers the area that has been trimmed which gives good airflow for cooling as well.Just plan out the cut...in our excitedness to get turbocharged sometimes we rush a bit and take more than is necessary, once you see the piping it makes sense and keeps the runs nice and short for less pressure drop.

As for the High Pressure pump, we chose that one because Walbro has shown conclusively that this pump flows much better under heavy loads than the regular 255 lph. This ensures proper fuel pressure levels under boost which is something everyone wants. As you expeand with one of our kits, the pump stays in, meaning less expenditure on your part as your 240 grows into other kit stages, bigger turbos, etc.

I noticed a few questions about the JWT ECUs as well and I wanted to chime in on that. The JWT computer is set to a base 20 degrees BTDC, same as the stock unit, it also uses the same base map as the stock unit (closed loop). When it goes into different maps is under heavy boost where it simply enhances what the stock ECU does...more airflow=more fuel. It then uses the stock sensors to listen for detonation and pulls timing/adjusts fuel/air ratio accordingly. Having that extra fuel available gives the ECU a nice buffer to continue doing that under load.

Adikt- The wastegate noise is noticeable yes, but not really audible over the spool of the turbo.

turtl631-We had ONE reported instance of boost creep, the WG dump was smaller than the rest of the runners which caused some backpressure.That was fixed almost 2 years ago, so no, no more boost creep issues whatsoever.

Great questions gang, keep em coming!

Talk to you soon.

[Gofast1]

Sorry Robert, missed yours in the shuffle. Just for record guys, we use ONLY Greddy or RS*R SR20 downpipes. They seem to be the best quality pieces out there, so your kits will ship with one of those 2. Sorry I can't narrow it down to one, but supply and demand you know

[Jookmasta]

should we email you concerning pricing for lets say an EBC? also excellent work with the responses. my question about stage 1 is if your stage 1 kit requires any timing adjustment or only if the person was to up the boost?

[Gofast1]

Jook- The timing is handled totally byt the ECU. You don't need to adjust anything. What kind of boost do you have in mind? Going above 8 PSI isn't recommended unless you have another ECU and some larger injectors.

[Jookmasta]

i was just wondering on ur take on the timing for the stage one kit. u answered the question. Also any answer to my first question?

[Gofast1]

Jook- Whups sorry about that, been working on kits all day and I am going crosseyed To be honest, on things like that we won't be much cheaper (maybe a couple bucks) than anyone on Ebay or something like that for electronics. They are just too comodotized to get great pricing anymore

[Jookmasta]

well at least u gave me an honest answer. I may still order one from you just cuz i rather a sponsor have the business than some random ebay vendor.......................

[AZhitman]

^ Precisely.

We intend to keep IAP and Marc around for a LONG time.

[Gofast1]

We hope so! We bought 2000 cans of PB Blaster!!!!

[D1 guy]

Wow you guys are tempting me to drop my current turbo kit and just buy yours. do you guys offer any kind of discounts on a fuel system and ecu tune? I have 370cc injectors, z32 maf, supra fuel pump, but theyre not installed. what do you recommend? enthalpy or jwt? My sr ecu was sent to jwt through jeff at heavythrottle about a month and a half ago and Jeff says that he hasnt heard from them, so I dont know what to think about jwt. should I go with bigger injectors? Im looking for 300hp. Thanks very much.

[Gofast1]

We like JWT, he is consisitent if not a tad conservative, but sometimes that's ok. 270xcc injectors will be right on the EDGE of 300 hp. I would feel much better with slightly more injector, 440cc would be good. Email us and we will work something out since you already have some components and don't need the whole kit. We will work with you on the price based on some omissions.

Talk to you soon!

[Not_a_sr]

Marc, why the ford 5 bolt flanges? they are kinda rare. Do you guys fab your collectors in house?

[Gofast1]

Actually we are in the middle of transitioning to Garret 4 bolt style flanges for the DP. By the time anyone from NICO gets a kit they should be changed over. Will update as I know more.

[Jurand]

Marc, thanks for offering a great deal and giving us prompt answers. I have another set of questions for you. This is a quote from your website on the stage I kit:

"Walbro High Pressure/High Volume 255 LPH Fuel Pump (recommended) or Vortec FMU (connections not included due to user placement of FMU). Either of these units provide the extra fuel needed for those with an aftermarket boost controller who plan on exceeding the stock Stage I kit's 7 PSI of boost. "

Is this really true? I would think the 270cc injectors would barely support 7psi on your turbo, even with the HPHV fuel pump or an FMU. In fact, I would love to see a dyno chart with wideband air/fuel ratios. I'm sure others would like that info as well and would be convinced to get your stage I kit as a result. Also, what kind of numbers can we expect from the stage I kit at 7psi?

Keep up the great work and thanks again for all your help.

Adam

[Gofast1]

Jurand-Yes it is true. We have had ALOT of experience with these kits having shipped out over 140 of them in total. Not even ONE instance has the car been fuel starved. Actually, all of the vehicles we have dyno tested have run rich with the Stage 1 kit and the HPHV pump installed.

We build all of our kits to grow with you as you want more power and that is what the statement on the website is saying. IF you upgrade to more boost in the future, that the HPHV will be there as a pillar to build on.Obviously, if you want to go beyond Stage 1 boost levels we recommend larger injectors, which is why Stage 1+ exists.

With most company's kits, you buy it and that's it. With ours, you can expand on what you have easily and affordably. This is why we recommend the HPHV and are including them for you.

Thanks for asking that question as I am sure others were wondering as well!

[koenig]

Wow those are great prices!!! This will probabily be the kit i get! I was wondering how much extra would it cost to ship to Canada? And i would also like to know what HP and TQ we can expect with 7psi. Thnx
