Considering going FI w/ APS ST, have some questions...yeah I searched

I have an 04 G35 coupe 6MT non rev-up and I have about 65k miles on it...
Im thinking of going FI w/APS ST kit but I had some questions...

Im not looking to get more than 350-375 whp and this car is my daily driver and I want to keep everything that I can stock aside from maybe the clutch...

SO my question is considering what all comes with the APS ST kit what else will I have to buy to keep everything safe and reliable?

Can I just purchase the APS ST kit and tune very conservatively and keep everything else stock?

How much can the stock clutch handle? and the fuel system?

I currently have a 1/2' spacer, MD ART test pipes, and stillen exhaust...

Is the APS kit reliable? Or should I go turbonectics?

Thats the link to the APS website for the G35 ST system

Will everything that it comes with be enough for me? or will I have to purchase other mods?

Those are 2 words you can't associate with putting F/I on any N/A car...lol

To answer your clutch question, I'm TT at 9psi...prob little more than 400hp and 370 tq (haven't actually been to the dyno to finish my tune yet.) I'm on the stock clutch with no slip yet. Clutch has maybe 10K on it now.

Stock clutch should hold 350-400wtq without much fuss... if it's not already worn down.

To the OP, I agree, there is no safe and reliable especially if you plan on not doing the proper supporting mods for your F/I setup such as fuel system upgrades.

I've got a walbro and stage 1 fuel return system w/600cc injectors and it drives just like stock.

Don't even think about skipping out on the fueling upgrades.

Can you even buy a APS single anymore? APS started cutting costs several years ago and the substitute the turbos with Chinees made ones theta have given lots of guys issues. Their customer service is also non-existent, look into a boosted performance single turbo kit it is more affordable and uses higher quality parts. PM "350Z T" on here he builds and sells the BP single kits. What ever you do stay away from turbonetics they are the problematic kit for this platform.
