Twin Turbo Gurus
Twin Turbo Gurus
hey guess,ive been seriously thinking about getting a twin turbo setup,either greddy or aps,in fact i know im gonna do it,this will be my first twin turbo car.
i just brok 44,000 miles on my car,do you thnk its safe at this point to do the twin turbo? also how much power can i expect from this,id be supper happy with 400hp to the rear wheels 400rwhp..what would it take to get that hp..? also besides the regular twin turbo kit...what else would i need i know i need guages and oil pan spacer..but i dont know what else..and this will be my daily driver..do you think it should be ok?

I just went through all this research and ended up with:
Greddy TT
UTEC and Tuner basic
HKS SSQV BOV
Plenum spacer
Test pipes
Zeitronix wideband with EGT and Boost
Greddy Profec B Spec II EBC

If you know for sure you won't want more than 400whp, go with an ST for more savings but I've heard very few stay satisfied with that power level.
The best way to go is to build your motor the same time you go forced induction. Then you'll have no worries of engine failure. Figure $18k minimum for motor build/TT kit/installation/tuning. But if you don't have the funds to build right now and can't wait, I would not push it to 400whp if you're concerned at all about blowing the motor. Stay at 380whp or less for a better margin of safety.
Also if you're considering the APS TT kit, definitely go with the tuner kit. You can then choose a better engine management than the Unichip. There's the UTEC, HKS FCON or a few new ones coming soon.
Just try do to everything at once or you'll spend so much more $$!

You can easily get thhe most power out of your greddy kit with the HKS engine management and its also the safest, however its the most expensive by far, other than the HKS go for the UTEC

Are you doing this on a stock block? if so I would not push to much past 400. I have 64,000 miles on my car right now so as an added security blanket I went with a built motor but this is not a neccessary step if you know what the limits are.

I'd go with the JWT setup, which is what I have. The Greddy is good as well. UTEC is probably the best choice for engine management.
For a good TT setup, with all supporting mods (exhaust, plenum spacer, gauages, engine management, etc...) budget about 12-15K.
Also, echo the comments about going to my350z.com for knowledge about forced induction. For that specific area, that board is better.
