I am going to chat with Rob Fuller at the Z Garage in San Jose about the APS TT kit going into a sedan... he wants a G35 sedan for shows that would be an m5 killer...

 

Wouldn't the turbo be behind the cover that sits under the front?

 

if you want any info on the kit you may want to visit some other 350z forums.

 

The amount of stress an engine sees will be more relate to the overall efficiencies of each system. Not how many turbos there are. Theoretically, if you had two smaller turbos that each has the same efficiencies at exactly half the airflow as a single larger turbo, then you would have exactly the same overall efficiency. Then it would just leave the plumbing and intercooling to be the remaining variables. If all were equal, none would be any less than the other. That being said, on a V6, TT has a slight advantage given the above conditions as you would have less heat lost in the cross-over. But considering this shouldn't be terribleand it would be unlikely that you'ld find the above conditions, you really have to look at what turbos are being used along with the overall efficiencies. Consider that many single large turbos have higher efficiency ratings than most of the smaller turbos that might be doubled up and used in it's place.

 

ahhhh, thanks for clearing that up

 

Apologies for my late post, just back from holidays. The short answer is YES. APS will test the single turbo on the G35 over the next few months and if all goes to plan expect a May/June release for the APS intercooled single turbo system.

Thanks

Damen with the optional APS cat converter I'm confident that the APS Intercooled single turbo system will pass the US federal smog test........... (IM 240 federal smog test from memory).

Thanks

Thanks for your kind words of support, we have a lot to live up to now.

No doubt APS will do all in our power to design and produce a very complete and safe/reliable intercooled single turbo system to suit the G35.

Much of the engine reliability factor will depend on the fuel octane utilised and the engine tuning maps, this is one area where APS techs will spend a good deal of hours in development to ensure safe engine tuning data.

Thanks

^ i believe that. you folks already rip s.hit up with the "boxer's" and the "mits." good job.

 

Not sure if you meant mechanical or thermal stress loads, these loads will be virtually identical at similar boost levels/power levels for each design.

Thanks

Peter

 

I very much doubt that snow will ever cause a problem for the turbocharger or exhaust manifolds, as a large sheild protects both components from all external elements.

The main benefits of this turbo position is the high temperature generated by the turbocharger is outside the engine compartment, not only does this turbo position protect many other engine components from extreme heat soak and possible damage, the power delivery is higher and more consistant due to lower engine compartment air temperature and hence greatly reduced engine heat soak.

Thanks

Peter just wondering how project single is going for the G35? Anything new? I really want to know if this kit will be carb legal? Any #'s?

 

from what i've heard, they haven't received their G35 coupe yet to do any testing on it. they will do the TT set up first then the single T for our cars. i would guess that it may be sometime in the fall or later before we see it for our cars. too bad.

 

When is the TT set to come out? Will they try to make it carb legal? I would think they would want to get this out right away, the G35 market is growing. I wonder if the JWT and Turbonetics come out before APS?

 

i would say yes that both of those other kits will be out before the APS TT kit. the APS TT kit is projected to be released sometime in may/june.
