100% true Kevin and this is why APS engineers matched the Garrett GT series ball bearing turbos to support around 800 Horsepower, this makes it much less expensive for the guys who want to produce big power down the path withiout having to replace the base turbochargers.

Again very true Kevin and the APS intercooler core will support very high power with a minimal pressure drop, around 800 HP with a small pressure drop of approx 1.5 PSI only, all good.

Good to hear from you Gurgen and I hope all went well with yout final exams, glad I'm well past that time of life.

Would be excellent if you make it down to Oz for a holiday then we could go for a good blast together in the G35. I tested the TT G35 last night with just over 510 WHP and the G35 feels awesome with this power, not sure how long the stock clutch will cope with the huge amount of torque though.

let me know how your G35 is coming along when you get a chance.

Thanks

Peter

Hi Guys,

Just for kicks, we've placed a sound/video clip of the G35 with the APS exhaust with test pipes on the APS web site - http://www.airpowersystems.com.au/350z/g35/g35.htm and the link is under the 3rd dyno graph (470hp). The exhaust note is awesome when you get stuck into it but quiet when free revving at cruise. On the road, it makes you want to drive with the windows down regardless of how cold it is.

Hope you enjoy.

George

Is it me or does that exhaust sound different than the APS dual fitted to the 350Z? I guess it sounds a little different on video, still awesome.

I agree, it does sound a little more aggressive than the 350Z exhaust.

They are special production turbocharger to APS specs, a GT series Garrett dual ball bearing turbo from Garrett Japan with larger internal wastegate ports, mass air flow is 40 lbs per minute (X 2 for a total of 80 lbs per minute mass air flow) and good for around 800 Horsepower at 16 to 18 PSI turbo pressure.

The big advantage for the APS single turbo system is the lower up front purchase cost and a much quicker install time.

This APS single turbo system is perfect for guys wanting a super reliable 400 WHP and a practical path to upgrade to around 500 WHP with just the addition of rods and pistons.

By design the APS intercooled single turbo system has far superior power and torque across the entire rpm range than say a centrifugal S/C system (in particular power from 2000 to 4000 rpm is much stronger) and at a very competitive price, the single turbo is a little more expensive than a S/C though it delivers loads more fun factor.

Many thanks and I'm postive that the G35 guys will be in for a fun time over the coming months.

Thanks
