Just curious

Hello, so i saw this kit on ebay, and was very curious about the price comparing it to other well known turbo's, and if it will fit out car's. any info would be great. thanks, it also shows 3 people bought it

http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-TWIN-TURBO-CHARGER-KIT-800HP-FOR-NISSAN-350Z-Z33-VQ35DE-370Z-Z34-NISMO-V6-/230918056611?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AG37&hash=item35c3c9eaa3&vxp=mtr

Don't ever even bother looking at no name turbo kits you see on ebay. Why do you think well planned, designed, and fabricated vehicle specific systems sell all day long for 10 times more than this if this one would get the same result? Answer: because this is garbage. Save up for the real thing. Do a lot of reading before even thinkng about which turbo setup to buy. The more you read, the more you'll understand and know not to even click on something like this.

3 people bought it (supposedly) because as P. T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

Wow, all that for the price of budget coilovers or a cat-back. Be pretty scary cranking that motor for the first time, I'd be sure to get a remote starter first, then stand way back

I would suggest maybe getting of the MHI GB. That BANG for your buck is exactly what you'll get sometime when chancing no name products on high end car like ours. Your next just curious thread may be how to repair a blow engine after installing this. Lol!

I'm actually impressed with this ebay turbo kit, they've definitely stepped it up from the $40 "turbo" fan you stick in your intake that doubles your power and gas mileage.

Since you're curious Alaa, I will share my 2 fils as to why this kit is scam:

1) "This kit might need to custom manifold & exhaust for the complete compatible.
Minor modifications or adjustments may be needed for a perfect fit of this Unit"

2) The intercooler is not designed to work with a twin turbo setup on an HR engine (twin entry single exit). I don't see a y-pipe to feed to dual throttles either.

3) There is no fuel system supplied yet it says the vehicle is mapped for low boost/ high boost, with no mentioning of tuning method.

4) There are no installed pics or dyno sheets

5) "Suited for all turbocharged vehicles running between 1-35 PSI depending on Boost level, adjustable **** increases HP and torque"

And a lot more shiat that indicates the seller has no idea how a turbo system works.

Google SSAutoChrome and read the reviews.
This kit is junk to say the least. All china made knockoff junk. Ive seen some bad things with these kits back in the day when the Honda boys used to try to save money and run these.
If you do not know anything about turbos and don't have a decent bit of money to invest, dont bother.
To do a nice turbo kit, you will be looking in the few thousand dollar range at the bottom end of the price range.

well i guess 3 people wont be happy
I just got back from Extreme Performance in Mussafah and he quoted me 27,000 DHS ($7500) for a super charged kit + tune (by Khaled) + dyno and guaranteed a 150 HP increase easily. need some time to think about it. What do you think ?

Extreme Performance know a thing or two in our cars, they've tuned Jimmie's Twin Turbo'd G37 and have a S/C'ed 370Z that they race:



I'm assuming they're going with the stillen kit?
