It doesn't really matter you guys. Here's the thing, without an incredible driver, you're never going to achieve the results that are posted by companies. I was talking with a few of you on AIM the other day about this.Now about this dyno graph, you can see they were running more boost then a normal person would for daily driving ... they even made a comment about that. That Twin Turbo kit includes a BUNCH of stuff... either way, I think the evo would have a good race for it... if it does beat it, so be it... he's got about 4x invested in to mods then the evo does.
Those TT kits for the 350z are NOT cheap, we're talking about 5000-6000 WITHOUT a FMIC. Regardless of the driving skill the evo would kill it on the launch anyway....
Both are cool cars. Anybody watch the Top Gear review of the 350z? hehehe...
9.2 PSI is a mediocre 1.2 PSI increase. The general rule of thumb is each pound of boost you add will make the same amount of horsepower equal to your compression ratio. It will have made less than 10 horses upping it that high. And besides, most people increase their boost during a track day run anyways.
*All * (competent) turbo kits include engine management and extra fuel delivery devices. Being able to make that kind of power without an intercooler opens up the potential of even more power. I wouldn't exactly count the Z out at a launch; although it doesn't have AWD, it does have a considerable amount of torque over a 4g63.
It could probably do it.
Back to the original post... that Z is hideous.

tell your brother to put one in, you drive it then tin, and we'll see who wins k? solves it, it's like penny cash for your bro anywaysFirst of all I didn't offer a race did I? I just wanted to prove how stupid and retarded kirk is. He should keep his mouth shut if he can barely recognizes the difference between a blow off valve and a wastegate. Second, my brother has the money, but he's not going to put $8,000 down just to fuck around with a 18/19 year old kid who's mowing lawns for living. He has better things to do......
BTW I posted those pictures, because Jim mentioned it to me a while back.

What im saying is that power isn't going to be made by the average joe blow who straps on a TT kit to his z. Also, that kit was intercooled....
I'd put $100 on the Evo killing it on the launch.
