Far2lively Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Are these any good? Just having a look at the moment. Unsure if the engine could handle it stock? Any input would be great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TT350 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Depends what's in the kit and the quality of those parts. Stock engine can take a low boost bolt on provided there's no underlying issues. Quote

Far2lively Posted September 22, 2015 Author Posted September 22, 2015 What numbers would you say for low boost? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
andy10v Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Are you looking at this one? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4af0ecfd20 Which looks like an ebay.com http://www.ebay.com/...bo kit&_sacat=0 copy of the Turbonetics kit https://www.treadsto... 350Z Turbo Kit It does not seem to be common in the UK, seems to get mixed reviews in the US, and slated a lot for pipe quality/failure, turbo quality/failure and lots of heat protection for OEM components needed. It is "cheap" so will also have failures from people doing other things cheap which contribute to failure. What were you planning on doing for mapping? Quote

'They' say 450 flywheel horsepower is about the limit on standard internals. My engine lost a bearing at 431bhp but I'm suspecting this was my fault. Quote
TT350 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 What numbers would you say for low boost? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My kit operates at about 6psi I think and makes 430bhp. All depends on the turbo and other mods. Quote
Jetpilot Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 You may have issues with kits developed in the US as they are designed for lhd, mostly issues with fouling the steering column on the right hand side. Sadly there is no cheap solution, best keep a look out for 2nd hand supercharger or turbo kit. Quote
