Thanks all for the kind words.. I asked Turbonetics about the auto and they think it will work but it has not been tested yet. I'll see what the schedule is for testing that and let you know. I also got some dyno videos of the car that I will post up tonight..

HEy MIAPLAYA ... i wanted to know .. can u name some places in New jeresy where its safe to have them install the turbo for me?! i wanna buy the kit but dunno who to trust to put it in right...

jasoo517

OH yea can we change the BOV later if we wanted too ?

I think MRC Motorsports in NJ is a good shop. They have a good rep with 350Z stuff... Yes you could change the BOV later if you wanted...

would somebody need to take this to an install shop, or is there any possible way for you to install this in your own driveway??

MIAPLAYA

This kit could be installed by anyone with adequate mechanical knowledge and the right tools...

If you are at all able to turn a wrench and have a safe way to lift the car off the ground, you would be able to install this turbo system. Very easy, very fast install. Not to mention Turbonetics takes pride in offering the very best in install instructions with its systems. Turbonetics is "advertising" 6 hours for the install.

MIAPLAYA

Absolutely...I installed their G35 kit which is MUCH more difficult in about 8 hours. After looking over the Tc kit it should be a VERY quick install...

Still have to drill and tap the oil pan, correct? there's half your time

MIAPLAYA

Yes I think thats going to be the final config...Doing that took me about 25 minutes going slow on the G35 and 350Z pans...

Try drilling a block! ive had to do one on an SR20, not nice, had to remove both sumps for a clean job.

MIAPLAYA

Drilling a block is a bit more difficult for sure...Drilling through aluminum is easy just take your time... Like I said 25 minutes tops with a hand drill..

I've been watching this kit for awhile now and it looks great, but got a couple questions...

1. No one answered the question about changing the clutch back in the beginning of the thread if I'm not mistaken. Would a change need to be made with this kit?

2. I'm not familiar with Unichip so how would one go about turning up the boost? Would Unichip need to be re-mapped every single time or can it be done easily on the fly? I get the impression that if I want to turn up the boost I will have to find a Unichip certified dealer to remap everything and that could get real expensive and tedious. It doesn't seem as dynamic as eManage (yes I know they're 2 different tools). I'm hoping I'm wrong though.

3. Pointless question... Can the intercooler be painted or powdercoated a different color. I'd want to do it in black if I could, but that's just me being picky.

Answers...

1. The kit is designed to work with the stock clutch but a new one can be used. The car I drove has about 2,000 miles of some destruction on it and the black car has two track days under its belt and neither has exhibited any clutch slippage

2. The boost canbe changed by increasing boost via a manual controller or via a Unichip Boost control solenoid. Unichip tuners are actual pretty widespread these days to do the tuning on te EMs

3. The intercooler will only come polished from Turbonetics but can be coated flat black by companies like Swain Tech or Jethot..
