APS G35 Twin Turbo System testing - awesome

On the other hand if you're talking about circuit racing and doing a number of hot/quick laps than I'd say that a new front bumper with a much larger frontal opening should be considered mandatory, maybe even a larger full flow engine oil cooler, this all depens on how long and frequently you retain the engine at full load/ high rpm conditions.
Thanks

Many Thanks

I belive this will depend very much on your driving style/conditions, if your talking about road conditions only I'd estimate at around 100F you would be wise to install a new bumper with a larger frontal opening.

Curently the power is just over 400 WHP though this does not demonstrate the real story, the G35 Twin Turbo system has awesome torque down low in the rpm range...............this awesome torque is what produces such an exciting ride and adrenalin rush.

By the way guys I should mention that this G35 coupe is owned by GRD in Chicago, many thanks to Tuan from GRD for shipping his G35 coupe down to Oz, without his kind generosity this G35 twin Turbo development would have been much more difficult, thanks again Tuan.

i guess i'll be the first to say this: we need to see the dyno sheet with hp and boost level.thanks

500 WHP is easy to achieve from the APS intercooled Twin Turbo system All of the hardware including the turbos and fuel system can support this power level though around 400 WHP is a much safer power level for a dead stock VQ engine.
Thanks

The front bar would provide heaps of additional airflow, would be ideal for a G35 doing serious circuit race work.
The hood is very interesting also, should also help to reduce the under hood temperature, all good.
Thanks

Peter,
If possible can you post pics of the G35 engine bay and pics of the intercooler behind the bumper. I also need to know what you think the price should be and how long is the install if possible. Did you add your exhaust or anything extra to make 400hp or was the car completely stock? Thanks and I can't wait.
