Rosssco Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) So for an otherwise standard car (Rev-up), you'd be restricted so around ~400bhp / 380lb/ft (conrods being the initial restriction), and presume an uprated clutch and larger diameter exhaust system (inc. decats) would be required also? I presume an Up-rev map could accomodate this set-up with the standard ECU, and be potentially superior? Edited April 29, 2014 by Rosssco Quote
A9H-RX Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Just something about having 2 turbos under the bonnet though... the additional work required to get it in concerns me a little though, would anything else need to be purchased to get going? some guages I presume? I personally wouldn't run without gauges. Last thing you want is to be boosting and not realize you're over boosting.. Quote
Scott TMN Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Ah no I totally agree, tbh I see it as a good excuse to get guages, I would love some a pillar guages regardless aha Just wondering if there are any other parts like that, but not included in the kit that you would ideally need to safely run such a setup..?

All down to how much power you want and willing to spend Quote
A9H-RX Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hold on, something doesn't add up here - people often quote 10k+ to get any kind of FI done properly? £3800 + let's just say another £2k to get everything else sorted that people have mentioned in this thread... that's a long shot from 10k? What's missing? Just curious if one of the FI experts could indulge me Thats when building the engine aswell.. running stock block you wont get more then 400whp anyways since it will blow above that.. It will cost you 10+ if you gonna build engine...parts and labour not cheap! Around 15k in total My build was 16k including parts and turbo kit. Stock internals are capable of up to 400bhp but I know people who have run more.. Quote

ben@RARE RIMS Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 If you got it under £3k it was a total steal... Quote

WhackyWill Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 dam newport aswell just round the corner Got withdrawn from sale so must have sold it privately.. Quote
GMballistic Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 dam newport aswell just round the corner Got withdrawn from sale so must have sold it privately.. Yes he did ~ because 3sjr bought it I believe. Quote
3sjr Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I did indeed, it will be up for sale soon I'm never going to get around to fitting it. I'm also in Newport. Quote
GMballistic Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I did indeed, it will be up for sale soon I'm never going to get around to fitting it. I'm also in Newport. That must of been one hell of an impulse buy then?!! You've only had it a month, just. If I was you I'd just put it to one side and see how you feel in a few months ~ maybe you'll get it fitted in the future then. Quote
wizurd Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I think it's more to do with the fact he's selling the zed so no car to fit it too. That still happening Sam? Twin turbo hummm. Quote

wizurd Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Hell I don't have the skills or the money lol. Sam will need to confirm what's actually happening with his zed. That was the last i heard. Hopefully he's changed his mind Quote

Hopefully he's changed his mind Just remortgage your house, ...it'll be fine trust me. Yeah hopefully he's not selling as always a shame to see good members leaving for new pastures. 1 Quote
3sjr Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Hey guys, I have been in two minds as to sell my zed and go old American muscle. I actually took a deposit on it but had to refund him as I just couldn't let it go. With regard to the turbo it was a complete impulse it was 5 mins up the road from me and looked shiney haha. It's an incredible kit but I want to put the money into other things like a vw van to go surfing with etc. Quote
N3me-350z Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Love how you edited your post that said you must have got it for a steal then, meaning under 3k then put it up for sale over 3k lol 4 Quote
3sjr Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) I got it for a steal compared to the £5000 it cost to import from Japan, never said I got it for under 3k also it now comes with injectors etc that it didn't in the eBay add also parts I have sourced that were missing ... Thanks for your input anyway Edited May 19, 2014 by 3sjr Quote
mouthwash Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Love how you edited your post that said you must have got it for a steal then, meaning under 3k then put it up for sale over 3k lol You don't drive around in a GTR by being a charitable mug..... 2 Quote
AliveBoy Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I'd buy it for that, I have no money so I can't, but I would if I did Quote
