Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Check this out... http://www.express-enterprise.co.uk/nis ... -5616.html From a quick look, surly all thats needed are some bigger rails and high flow pump or have I missed something? The moreI think about it, the more a turbo or SC makes sense. However, the Z store £5500 for a vortech doesn't make sense as you still need to buy LOADS of extra bits like injectors and stuff. Anyone know of any good places to look for second hand as well. Ebay is crap! Cookie Quote
Ian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Fi cant be done on a budget imo, theres always something else that pops up that you need to buy Keep an eye out on my350z.com as quite a few kits come up for sale on there Quote
Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 As long as it pops up the following month after I've been paid I'm not too fussed. Quote
Ian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Every kit will require you to buy extras aswell so dont rule out vortech all together Quote
Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Just what does the Vortech kit come with the Z store is a little vague and the Vortech site isn't much better. Still intrigued by this turbo technics kit as it has the injectors, intercooler and it mentions a Turbonetics Full ECU Re-Flash. Quote
Ian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Fancy the ultimate in performance tuning? Express Enterprise stocks and supplies turbo kits made to fit directly onto your car. Not only can massive increases in power be gained but you can give your car the added attraction of a dump valve. FAIL Vortech kit comes with pretty much everything you need. The only things that you will need to buy are Injectors, Gauges & a return fuel system. There are other things that I would buy but they are not essential IMO. I'd also replace the injectors that come with that turbonetics kit for atleast 440cc Also don't forget to add on the cost of installtion, mapping & the increased cost in insurance Quote
Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 It's all serious stuff. i've already got money aside for mapping as i was going to take it to RS anyway if I leave it NA, probably go down the abbey route if I FI'd it though. Installation is going to be done by me and a mate. We've fully built a G40 supercharged engine from scratch, when a piston melted, so I'd like to think we could do it need to do some more digging on what comes with what though. Wish there was a good place for second hand bits and bobs too. Ebays crap these days. Quote
Ian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 If your going for Vortech then this thread is essential http://my350z.com/forum/forced-inductio ... tions.html I read through this thread loads of times when I was researching kits Check out the classifieds on my350z, there are quite a few S/C kits popping up for sale. Also be careful buying turbo kits from the US as some of them dont fit UK cars. Good luck doing it yourself, make sure you keep a progress thread for us to see Quote
Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Good thread, lots of top gen. Still can't find a kit contents list for the Vortech and I'm fairly sure i'm not been a spacker. Quote
Ian Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 I've attatched the parts list from the Vortech installation manual Quote
Cookbot Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks, all useful stuff. it's a Vortech v Turbotechnics show down and comes down to what I find the additional kit for. Stuf that could wait until the following month...will! Vortech SC from the states £2300... but finding out what you'll pay in duty is harder than installing the kit its self! And you pay VAT on top of duty!!! WTF, I can't wait to emigrate out of here. Quote
andlid Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 why not look at the mid turbo stuff on my350z from the canadian guy? Quote

IanS16 Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 why not look at the mid turbo stuff on my350z from the canadian guy? Me and Nurrish were talking about that today - I thought it was a one off job? Quote

andlid Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 linky? http://my350z.com/forum/forced-inductio ... build.html Quote
Ekona Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks, all useful stuff. it's a Vortech v Turbotechnics show down and comes down to what I find the additional kit for. Ummm, surely there's no comparison between the two as they're completely different forms of FI? It's going to depend more on what you want the final car to feel like than simply the cost of sourcing bits between the two. Quote
Cookbot Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 I would prefer to have a SC setup, but if it turns out to be a lot more, i'm not going to discount a turbo. Either way, it'll have more oomph than a NA setup. Might look into a bundle box to get all the crap back too. Quote
gazhull8474 Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Im looking down the same route i have about £5000 to play with so will be looking at this link very closely. Im trying to find a package that has everything in it already. Quote

Im trying to find a package that has everything in it already. look at the link i posted from my350z that kit will set you back 3100€ plus shipping and tax. then you'd need to decide what route of ems you'd like to take, utec (500$), Uprev (think abbey no do a replacement ecu that you'll be able to change maps if you got a cruise control), haltech, motec... if you go for the tt mid turbo kit its made for built systems so keep the boost low and once you get bored of that power you build your engine and increase the boost... simples! (+ that the kit seems / sounds to be a DIY kit!!!) A Quote

yokomo Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 $3650 that barely over £2k ! even getting stung for vat and the postage its still not going to be much over £3k ! Quote
Cookbot Posted March 28, 2010 Author Posted March 28, 2010 Chance it in a bundle box and it's about £200 postage, duty and VAT! FI really isn't looking too bad. I already have an uprated clutch and flywheel, money aside for the remap as I was going to do that anyway and got a mate who's got a Bosch 255ltr/hr fuel pump for free. Just some decent injectors to get and it's a go. Might look into a fuel rail while I'm at it though. Quote
andlid Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 Why areyou looking at a tuner kit? You'd be looking at eitherthe two top ones? Quote
