Well...........
the STS kit sits in the back of the car, where the turbos act as mufflers, which is common knowledge. Here is the cool part, if u have a VQ35DE engine......
All you wil have to do is plug in the Squires ecm module into your present ecm and you will have the timing and fuel adjusted to boosted standards. Because the interface on all ECU's from 2003 to 2006 is the same the Squires module will work fine, safely tuned for 90HP. This will work on most VQ cars, from the altima, maxima, quest, 350, G35 etc.
The sheety part is the charge piping... if u get the squires nissan kit that will be ready for christmass and u dont have a 350z, you will need to have a muffler shop create your charge piping. But everything else will be plug and play.
Or as a secondary option.
You can get the generic STS Turbo for $2990, without the ecu and have Tadashi at Technosqare tune the OEM ECU for you, I have spoken to him about this and he can make a generic program to run the Turbo on your maxima. After you have the turbo installed and running you can send the ECU back to Tadashi for final optimal tuning with A/F/R charts from a Dyno.
The reason he has to pre-tune the ecu is because u dont want to risk ruining your engine on your first run because u ran it too lean.
So no, I dont know anything but thats just my .02 worth.
How it works.
And when I get it installed on my car I will be re-selling copies of the charge piping my self. However mine will be intercooled so that might be an added cost to some

That is what I meant.....
However, I was considering a 50 shot of NOS after I install my Fujita....

Alternative to turbo is build your motor with bolt on as we have discussed ad nauseum; header, full exhaust, intake, cams, UDP, light flywheel, ECU, lighter rims and brakes, weight removal. You can fairly easily get hp up to 340 and reduce weight by 150-200lbs. Do the math and you will see those numbers are right up where a turbo would be.
PS Im not a big fan of the bottle either.

I considered that option for my 4th gen but after some reading I realized that its not worth it when you can do frontmount turbo. I spoke to STS and they are infact working on a setup for 350z. You can also just get a universal kit, dosnt include piping but piping would be very inexpensive considering you dont have to do downpipes n stuff, just the piping into the intake.
the turbo they use has a 1" hole before the spool, so a 2.5" pipe of exaust goes down to a 1" turbo inlet, thats how it gets its pressure. a v8 will just have more pressure if it also has a 2.5" exaust.
I think we would have enough power to move it, I mean the Z can move twin turbo's no problem, thats 3 cyl per turbo. if you hook up a sts to our car it will be all 6 to a turbo, unless you true dual exaust the car and twin turbo it..

yea, last time i talked to them the Z wasn't a priority, they said something about starting this fall or so..
I'm hoping it works out cause I'm saving for this soon, hopefully I do well cause I also want a fully done motor.

why? cause our cars have a y-style exaust and with the sts kit one side of the exaust won't be used for exaust, but for the BOV and that sux.
whats good about the one pipe exaust is that you still use it, in our case we have to install pretty much a fake tip on one side and use it just for a waste gate exaust, this is not practical for me, I want my full exaust working like it should.
they can also give you a universal TT kit as well.

with a good tune, proper work they've done 500-570+hp. the turbo's from that set up are rated at 400hp each, not that the cars are putting out that much, but is good for upgrade ability.

I was looking at a 350Z for sale in the St. Louis area. If I remember correctly, it was 21K and had around 10K miles. It had the Greddy TT setup, and the guy said it put down 320 whp with stock internals... the car had been garaged most of it's life, and they just needed to sell it since they had a kid on the way and needed a more practical second car.
I had no idea that a Greddy setup has put out that much power on a 350Z. Good to know, thanks.
