Get in contact with Jeremy @ Performance Factory. He is in Florida and will hook you up with whatever you need and point you in the right direction.

 

The TN turbo will probably max out around 500, I say get the Greddy's from the get go so you can hit 600's later on down the road. I mean comming from that evo I don't think you'll be happy with a 375-400 g35 since the g will "feel" alot slower.

Otherwise Jeremy's (www.performancefactory.com) the man to go to if you're in FL, most other shops just throw you a bunch of bs for sales...

 

For that price range...I would go with GReddy, or spend a little more and get the JWT. 400rwhp will be easy. My first choice of shops is Forged Performance...but Performance Factory also gets 2 thumbs up. All the top shops hourly rates are pretty close. You need to call them and tell them what your plans are and that you are price shopping. The job you want to have done is easy for them....so they wont fight with you over price. My only advise to you is...Dont do it yourself!!!! Dood Luck

 

a 400whp Vortech will feel like a dog compared to his old evo or any turbo kit for the G...that 400whp Vortech will have maybe 340tq max, while a ST or TT will have 400tq....if he didn't have that evo I'd say go with the Vortech, but I guarantee he will be dissapointed with a Vortech after having a 500whp Evo.

Thanks for all the information...

another question should I wait and get a custom exhaust for the turbo setup or is there an exhaust I can get that will work fine with the turbo setup?

thanks!

 

good point, but a 500whp EVO setup probably uses a pretty big turbo with lots of lag and have to rev fairly high to get into the power anyway.

Besides, since EVO's make their hp by reving pretty high, a 500whp setup probably has a brief stint of 380-410 tq between 5500-6500 rpms then drops to around 350 tq at redline

see attached image for a 490 awhp EVO example

a vortech with 3.12 pulley would have around 330 tq at 5000 rpms, but look at 3000 rpms where you'd have about 260tq vs the EVO's 120 tq. There'd be massive amounts more tq under the curve below 5500 rpms while the EVO having at most 70-80 more tq above 5500 rpms

 

When my Evo was running a stock 16g turbo it made 375 torque from 3500-5500 rpms..and then slowly dropped to 325ish around redline...and this was when I was running HKS 280s which give up alot more torque in exchange for a higher hp peak..

You obviously dont know much about evos so please refrain from posting dyno graphs and other useless information...

SO anyways can anyone answer my question about what to do for exhaust?

 

I guess google failed me then
I went out and looked for high whp EVO's and saw this one was in the ballpark of what you said you had

sorry

found the graph here:

so you were reving to around 8000 rpms in the EVO to get 500whp with 325 tq?
pretty cool


either way, so you had 375 tq max which was the main point I was making - that it's not like you were making 500 tq or anything and the EVO relies on revs to make high power. So I didn't think the vortech seemed like such a horrible option for you especially given its track record for engine reliability which seems to be high on your list as well, but I understand that you might prefer turbos

 

I am using the APS 3" exhaust. It sounds good and looks good. You can check it out here ... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/808731

 

Sentry65...I know what you are trying to say. I am not knowledgeable enough on the subject of EVO's to agree or disagree. I have driven a 450 hp EVO before and I have also driven a G35 with around the same HP....I did not feel any power dropoff on the G...but I could feel that the EVO was running out of breath in the upper RPM range. Could also be that the EVO I drove had problems......lol

 

The point I was making had nothing to do with the turbo I am running now..I said when I was running a STOCK TURBO which is a 16g..

I currently run a gt30r and have well over 400 torque throughout the entire power-band where it slowly drops off to 400ish at redline...

 

ok well you're just telling me two different things and making this confusing. You're said when you had the 16g turbo you made 325 tq at redline and NOW you're talking about the gt30r making 400tq at redline

I don't understand at all why you even mentioned anything about your 16g setup when I already knew you were not using that to make 500 awhp.
So do you still make 375 tq at 3500 rpms with the gt30r or does the big tq come on later in the powerband? Probably about a 500 rpm delay compared to the 16g right?

 

peak torque comes at around 4k rpms and holds close to 6k then slowly starts to drop off...

now lets get back to exhaust options for my G when I boost it

 

Here is something right up your price range.

Also I have a APS TT kit and I'm running a HKS True dual exhause which mounts right up.

Most exhaust for the G35 mount right up unless you going with a ST system
