Turbo Kit for Versa coming soon!!!

[FoxMarketingVersa]

I'm really excited as I just got some pictures of my turbo kit that ZPI Racing is building. They do a bunch of kits for the TC and make awesome power. They tell me, they can make some amazing power with our motors also.

Here is a link to the start of the turbo kit on the Versa.

I already have Tanabe Exhaust, Tanabe Springs, MOMO GT Street Racer Seats, 18x7.5 Work Wheels, 225/40/18 Toyo Proxes 4's, and now the first turbo charged Versa which what I am looking for, PERFORMANCE!

Dude I'm jealous! I get my speed fix from my motorcycle but if I ever have to sell that I'd totally want a turbo in my Versa. How much does that kit cost if you don't mind me asking? How much HP do you think you'll gain? Does this void the warranty (I'm guessing it does)?? Also, what do you have for a transmission? 6speed, CVT, automatic? More pics would be nice too but again...awesome!

They didn't tell me a price yet, just a ball park price of like 3k which I am cool with. Not sure on power yet, have to wait till it is done and then dyno for tuning it. My car is 6 speed and I also need to find a clutch to hold the power. I am thinking between 70-100hp gain at the wheels depending on what the stock motor can hold for boost. They are starting at 8psi and might go up from their.

Have you been in contact with any aftermarket clutch companies to have a new one built up? Like Centerforce or someone like that?

I doubt there will be an aftermarket clutch this early, you're probably going to have to work with someone to prototype and build them.

[seann]

Yes,

We will be working to get a clutch to market within the next couple weeks. Hopefully we will have a full disk setup for street/strip style conditions, and then a sprung puck design for bigger power..

Man, once you get your Versa back we need videos and pictures!

Welcome aboard, Sean!

Good to see some Versa Love.

NissanVersa.org has already become the highest-trafficked site on the net for Versa information, thanks to projects like this!!!

[nsrZ32]

awesome build! can't wait to see it finished

[Ever Victorious]

And, of course, one little word.

Dyno.

[Juelze]

Damn man, thanks for the new pics. But as other said, we need some dyno results, pics, sounds, vids. I need some inspiration for di-versa-fying my car.

I'm curious to see how much power this kit will make and whether or not it will justify spending 3K on.. Was that 3k installed? or just 3k for the kit itself with labor seperate? What are the specs on the turbo itself? Trim? Diameter of piping? Core size for the FMIC? Inquiring minds want to know..

It would be easier if you were local to one of the major companies like Centerforce, but it doesn't hurt to try contacting them anyhow.. Some of them may already have something in the works..

Or are they going to be doing some mods to this area as well?

Hope this doesn't feel like I'm just asking a bunch of questions that I think a lot of people may eventually ask so might as well get as much info now, than later..

[Ever Victorious]

It's not , those are all quite legitimate questions. And that's what we're here for.

[AZhitman]

8psi on ANY car will cost at or above $3K, so that's easily justifiable.

I'd bet an aftermarket fuel pump and an adjustable FPR will be on the menu, just as with any other Nissan.

A boosted Versa would be DAMN NEAR as cool as my long-time dream project, a twin-turbo 06 Quest, all bagged and JDM-style.

You forgot to say "yo" at the end.

I can't imagine the look on some poor guy's face as he pulls up to the tree at a drag strip next to a Versa, smugly thinking he'll annihilate it...

And then gets his butt mopped up.



Do it! DO IT!!!

[penpen-commander]

that's going to be awesome.

i bought my versa for:gas saver, cvt, roomy, cheap, and something new.

but for a turbo kit, i'm good off that. that's what my 240's are for.

haha that would be nuts. Only if its RWD or AWD though.

[Jemdawg]

Where is the battery going to go now that you put the turbine there? Not that it's that big of a deal, but I'm just curious because the engine bay is small as it is.

[proxim2020]

Looks pretty sweet. I'm enjoying the time stamps on some of the pictures

[Jemdawg]

Yeah, it would be nice if I could have worked on the Versa four years before it was released.

[ZPIracing]

Good thing we are more proficient at building turbo kits that using a camera. We will be building a mass produced kit. We will more than likely use a 16G turbo that flows 550cfm. We will offer two kits one base kit low boost no intercooler low price tag.

A second kit with all the goodies a little higher price tag. Pricing and power at this point can not be determined. We are aiming for 250whp with 100% reliability. The car will come with ZPI plug and play injectors and some sort of piggy backs either a emanage or a unichip.

ZPIracing will have a variety of parts released for the versa by the end of the year. To include but not limited to turbo kits, clutch kits, injector upgrades, headers, cat back, axle back, crank pulley.

Stay tuned to ZPIracing.net as we take the versa to the next level. Please post up any questions and we will try to answer them.

[Scion Guy]

I don't mean to infringe on your guys forum but I am a fan of the Versa and when I saw this thread I had to respond.

Just some info you all should be aware of.ZPI also makes a turbo kit for the Scion tc and the experience of a lot of members on http://www.scionlife.com has been less than spectacular when dealing with ZPI. As with any major purchase I encourage you all to research this company thouroughly before laying down your hard earned $$$. I just hate to see fellow enthusiasts get screwed over by someone looking for a quick buck.

Please read these, and make your own decisions.http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi http://www.scionlife.com/forum...t=zpi

Buyer Beware!

[Renaissance'D]

Wow. The complaints behind Scion Guy's links make me question the professionalism involved with this company. For ZPI's sake, I hope they're isolated cases or perhaps exaggerated, but who knows?

Well tell you what, I paid Kenny 8 grand to develop a turbo kit for the Versa for me. He made me a one off kit in 2 days (not for production) and then this past weekend he came up and installed it for me (thats customer service!!). I understand many situations in business and he actually brought up the issue to me that he gave back over 90 some thousand to customers. The reason was that he couldn't get **** made fast enough and he hired some people in house to make it and they slacked hard (so he has fired them all). The right thing to do is give people their money back and that is what he did, so I don't have an issue with that at all. That is fair, but it still sucks. Bottom line, their product is AWESOME Quality and it isn't junk. Just sucks that Kenny ran into a problem with getting on the shelf to ship to customers, that happens sometime and some customers just don't understand ****. When you are in the industry you understand things a little better and become more understanding that is for sure.

"Understanding the industry" doesn't mean anything when you've got that kind of a situation. For example, I work at a TV station, and while we might get swamped, it doesn't matter - spots have to be done by deadlines, or heads roll. It's the way of the world.

For 8 large I hope he threw in a hooker too.

It's really funny because I have family in Louisville (where ZPI is located) so I made a phone call. They actually hired some guy that owns/runs the local forum. Word has it to keep people from posting about all the crap work they do. Great damage control...make a post calling them out...get banned.

The reason was that he couldn't get **** made fast enough and he hired some people in house to make it and they slacked hard (so he has fired them all).

Is that why the same guys have been there pretty much since they started business? I'm sure the work ethic comes from the superior management running the show.

The right thing to do is give people their money back and that is what he did, so I don't have an issue with that at all. That is fair, but it still sucks.

And how many months did it take to give those people back their money? Those are people that own an entry level vehicle not some balla who can throw down 8 large for a custom turbo setup.

Anyway glad it all worked out for you at least.
