Turbonetics G kit pics!!

Got emailed some pics of the G35 kit today from Brad at Turbonetics. Heres some info in regards to the fans..


The one pic is hard to tell what it is but it’s the air filter inlet pipe that drops down under the head light putting the air filter outside of the engine bay into some cooler air.



We are using 2 Spal pusher fans hooked to a set of relays that run the fans at 50% power when the engine is started and until a pressure sensitive switch is activated (under boost) turning the fans on to 100%. If you have an aftermarket bumper with a front opening the intercooler can be turned around and the fans removed. The reason for turning the intercooler around is to hide the fan mounting brackers



And the pics...

That's not too bad.....patience is a virtue.

When I asked someone who has vast FI experience and had seen and driven both the Vortec and the Turbonetics on a Z....which they would pick......

They said absoutly no question....the Turbonetics all the way!

Thanks for the pics!

Best vendor I would choose either Sharif at www.forgedinternals.com (who I would buy from) or www.avalonracing.net or Altered Atmosphere. All of them on your side of the country...

Very cool pics, thx. Interesting grills too, don't think I've seen that before.

For some reason the pic head on of the G minus the bumper looks really cool

The Engine Cover looks like 05,

Is the test car 05?

Will this kit fit 05 G35x?

Any issues about compatibility with 5AT cars? Transmission upgrade required?

Thanks for the shops on the East Coast - any recommendations for transmission upgrade over on this side of the country?
