Well much has happened since we posted last. As most of you all know, our plans were to build an affordable SINGLE TURBO KIT for the 350z. We had spec'd a single turbocharger that would work so well with the 350z motor. Single turbo, large enough to make use of the V6 motor, and still be efficient in the lower boost levels. We waited weeks to receive it from California as the wild fires made it almost impossible for us to receive it in a reasonable time. When we finally received it, we went straight to work on our prototype Z. Here came the problems. As many of you knew already the engine bay offers less than ideal space to work with. Bottom line, fitting the turbocharger would be next to impossible. Physically, it just wouldn't fit! I suppose for a one-off custom job, we could definitely do it, but with quite a bit of cutting and rearranging of engine bay components. Just not ideal for a production turbo kit that would be offered to the public. We knew it would be tight, but if there was a chance at all that it would fit, we had to take it! We immediately scratched that plan and began working on something different. Of course, a TWIN TURBO KIT
We've taken a good look at how the other guys have designed their kits and I must say we are not impressed! Judging by most pictures available, installation would require a GREAT deal of cutting and rearranging! I was really surprised that large companies like that would offer such a cruddy kit.
We are about 70% done at this point and everything is going well. Mind you, this is the toughest turbo kit we have ever had to make. Here's what we are working with now.
