Forum: Forced Induction

As the title ask, has anyone here used WPC micro shotpeening treatments for a turbo motor build.. or na motor build? Was it worth the cost, what did you have treated or what would you recommend? For those who may not know what WPC is, here you go... What is WPC? BTW my current project is...

Ok fellas, i've been waiting to do this for some time, and the opportunity presented itself, and I jumped! :char24: One of the nice things about working at a private school and being the Car Club Moderator is that there are plenty of parents that are willing to help with this project and provide...

Today we have a long term 350Z project on the dyno with Sharif. This car is what we consider a FULL build and projects of this scope take a few months to complete. Nothing on this car was left untouched: Interior, wheels, brakes, suspension, complete drivetrain, ECU, you name it...we upgraded it. ...

Yesterday we had a customer make the drive from Indiana to our location for a complete Forged Performance calibration using the Haltech ECU. The car was strapped to our Dyno Dynamics Dyno and Sharif went to work. With nothing but start up time on the engine, Sharif also performed a 2hr steady...

We are in the process of wrapping up a build on a customers G35 Sedan and I wanted to share a couple photos. Here is a short rundown of the major modifications we have installed: •Forged Performance S1 Short Block •Greddy Twin Turbo Kit •HKS 1000CC Injectors •Cosworth Intake Plenum •JWT...

Some of you may know of my sedan from ZDAYZ and from being around here on the forum. Anyway a little back ground on my car. It’s a 04 6MT sedan that had been running a stock block TN setup for a little over a year. Here are a few pic of the car with the old wheel/tire combo and TN setup.

As some of you know I had a little incident about this time last year with my stock block Greddy Twin Turbo '03 350z. Less than 2 hours after having a new boost controller (improperly) installed by a local shop in Dallas, my motor exploded when I went into boost sending shrapnel through both sides...

So my little brother is into Mustangs. Evidently the G35 and the 4.6L GT use the same blower for the entry level Vortech sc kit. He points me to this thread: http://mustangforums.com/forum/pipes-boost-and-juice/299111-1500-96-04gt-supercharger-kit-how-its-done.html where evidently one can...

Ok I know this sounds lame. I have a 04 coupe VQ35DE 5AT would a turbo be worth it? I am looking for a single turbo prob the turbonetics kit, or will a SC suit it better prob the vortech. I know the SC will be cheaper but price isn't the problem. My concern is the 5AT part what will work better or...

Hey, I have been thinking of going turbo. but my goal is about 320-330 rwhp. I have a rev up engine g35. I have been looking of possibly buying a universal kit ive seen on ebay and just rebuild the turbo that comes with the kit. Im just really looking for the most affordable route. Good Idea or...

I talked to STS today and they have a single turbo kit that fits the 350z and the G35 they say its comes with everything to install and tune, utec and injectors, fuel pump, everything. It has a special pricing of 4995.00 at the current time and with 5-6 psi should gain over 100whp/100tq. I saw...

Today i made the trip to Z1 Motorsports to get dyno tuned using Osiris. Last time i dynoed,i made 257RWHP and 238LB/FT. Well, since i have changed rear tires to heavier 285 Run Flat. So today i baselined at 253HP. We found out that i was running EXTREMELY lean, just by adjusting the A/F i was over...

It has been a long time coming, but I finally installed my GReddy TT kit. At first I was planing to do a stock block build, but after months of trying to get my OC motor replaced by my good for nothing Local Dealership, I pulled the trigger got a short block built by Kyle at Import Parts Pro. ...

To make a long story short, my motor is gone. I had just bought a new Turbosmart E-boost2 boost controller and had it installed today. The controller was set @ 6psi and 8psi and I thought I would see what 8psi was like (because it supposedly had a map for 8lbs). The car ran like a scalded ape...

I have an 04 sedan 6speed. I'm sure this has been asked many times but doing search and haven't found exactly what i'm looking for. I can get the vortech kit (not tuner) for about 4200.00 What all would i need to make it a safe build? If you know of any links to other threads please let me know. no...

A couple of local customers stopped by with their new 370Z's. I went ahead and loaded both of them on the dyno. Bone stock, and Stillen Exhaust/Berk HFC. Needless to say, I was SHOCKED with the results. :driving:

Just got trained at the manufacturers facility. There are a wide variety of performance coatings available from exhaust/headers to pistons and cam shafts, exhaust tips, etc. The only thing I won't be offering is the polished chrome-like header coating, as that requires a $15000 vibratory...
