Hey I have a 2006 Infiniti g35 sedan 5AT and I want to prep it for a twin turbo kit and was wondering what parts would I need or recommended to use that is not included in a complete twin turbo kit I'm trying to prepare my car so once I do get the kit I can just install it right away with no problems after wards

1-lol. 2-there is SOOOOOOOOOOO much info on forced induction if you just use the search button. 3-you'll never NOT have any problems. 4-look into spending more on the engine than you did on the car.
The Achilles heel on these seem to be piston rings. replace those before you do any kind of forced induction. You may think they aren't leaking, but put some boost in the engine and you may find out otherwise. oh, trans kit... you'll want one. and an lsd. vlsd is stupid, and most of the time the clutch is gone by 60k miles. Mine has vlsd... and my left tire has significantly less tread than my right...

That's where you'll want to get started for the basics
Personally i would say save your money for a better car that either faster stock or more capable at handling boost.

Yes I have read many threats on this but everyone seems to steer away then just discuss on which is better for our cars and less stressful a tt or sc I was just looking for a simple and basic list of must haves or recommended parts I have read as far as getting a valve body upgrade and a trans cooler but is there anything else I would need or recommended to use?Originally Posted by Frostbite91

I have never done a turbo, but you have to say how much power you are trying to make. I would think much over 400 hp and your whole trans needs to be built, or a whole other trans completely.Originally Posted by thechitoguy

I dont recall any turbo kit that says it works with the 5at.

There are plenty of kits that work with AT.
You will need a lot OP. I got my lists by reading through build threads. Look at mine for a good start.
A SC kit would probably be best.... Less headaches more road time.
to prep AT car for boost without getting boost right off the bat. You should look at transgo kit, fuel pump install, uprev tuning software and higher flowing exhaust.
A lot of the other stuff you will be installing along with the FI setup.

For the amount of money you're gonna sink into a turbo along with prepping your drive train for the FI... you're best off buying a faster car bro, you should be able to pick up a 5.0 stang for around 20k ish, or maybe a subie, but with the amount of cash that It's gonna take to get your car even ready for the sc or tt... there are a lot of possibilities dude.
