what do i need to know after buying the kit? what other things am i going to need to buy after this kit? what is the best way too upgrade the fuel delivery?

I already have the following usable mods on my car already.

Cattman Headers
Random Technology Cat 2.5
Stillen B-pipe 2.5
Stillen Muffler
Middle Eastern Variable Intake Manifold
ACT Stage 1 Street Clutch
Fidenzia Flywheel
Unorthodox Drive Crank Pulley and Belt

Suspension:
Tokico Illumina adjustable Shocks
Stillen Front Strut-bar
Stillen Rear Strut-bar
Stillen Rear Sway-bar
Eibach Springs (1.5” Drop)

I plan on Upgrading the exhaust to a 3 inch sooner or later after the turbo.

For a 60-1, you'll want 370cc or larger injectors, eManage, and Walbro 255lph.

Also i wanted to make sure just in case. Can i use my headers still? the cattman headers and y pipe came as a combo. Just wondering if i can still use the headers with the Turbo kit.


i pretty much figure i need the following to get it right.

PFI Turbo Kit w/ intercooler- $4800
Blitz Dual SBC SPEC R Dual Solenoid- $467
APEX'i Super Air/Fuel Controller- $350
Greddy Emanage- $200
3” Warpspeed Cattback Exhaust w/ Test Pipe- $560
Stillen Oil Cooler- $330
440cc Injectors- ???
MAF- ???
Turbo Specialties Fuel Pressure Regulator - $150
Blitz Turbo Timer- $150
NGK type BKR7E-11 Copper Spark Plugs- $50
Greddy Boost Gauge- $133
Greddy EGT Gauge-$133
Greddy Fuel Pressure Gauge-$133
3 Pod Pillar- $60
Place Racing Motor Mounts- $260

Is the blitz a BOV or Boost controller?

Don't need both. One or the other. EMANAGE would be my choice

Ok

300z MAF, Does that FPR let you adjust BASE FP?


ok

No, not unless you modify the PFI reverse ypipe to accomodate the extra length of the Cattman headers over the stock manifolds.

If I were you, I'd try that. Cut down the two arms and weld them back together. Hopefully, the flanges are the same, but probably not.

Also, I haven't seen a PFI ypipe in A LONG TIME and I've only seen the Cattman headers in pictures, so the arms could be way off and require a bit of bending or extra tubing. IMO, definitely worthwhile, unless you need the money from the headers for other mods.

Two more things...

The Emanage w/injector and ignition harness is $345, however once you add all the trimmings like support tool, RPM harness, MAP sensor, etc. it is close to $600. Also, you might consider getting the Greddy Profec e01 for $515 instead of the "Blitz Dual SBC SPEC R Dual Solenoid- $467 ". The e01 display is worth it IMO and once you get an AEM wideband or similar, you can tune and log on the fly using the e01 display.

Last, you might hold off on choosing that 60-1, just yet. I'm putting something together that might change your mind on which turbo you need/want.

Try contacting Nigel, he was trying to get rid of a brand new kit for $3900ish shipped, I believe from someone who backed out on a group buy. However, I think you'll be stuck with what turbo option they all chose.

Make sure that includes the support tool and cable for $310, I doubt it does, so once you add those in, it will be cheaper at gruppe-s. Also, check to see if they include the same features, but for $515 vs. $577:
http://www.gruppe-s.com/Greddy/greddyelec.htm

Might try looking at the Aeromotive from Summit or elsewhere, I believe it's cheaper. Could be wrong though.

Not necessary, but you can get a Blitz FATT for $92 or DTT for $124 at www.gruppe-s.com, but cheaper elsewhere probably.

Not necessary, but nice bling bling factor.

Sounds good, but might look into building your own or going custom for much less.

Definitely NO. You don't need one, but if you'd like too, I'd put the $300 towards a new stock or better aftermarket radiator like Koyo, if one exists.

Fine, but check www.gruppe-s.com for price.

Good choice, but you can polyfill your own or spares from a junkyard.

Good.

For the 300Z MAF, check www.car-part.com. They're around $75. A J30 uses the same MAF and is typically cheaper.

Walbro is $90-$110 lots of places, just look around.

550cc can be had from www.courtesynissan.com, but are expensive. Check ebay and others for SR20DET compatible injectors.

This is the "size" of housing that the turbine side of the turbo uses. He's saying to go with a SMALLER version then the .82, because it's laggy.

The turbo kit is sold ... sorry!

If you wait about 1 month more, you can forget about buying MAF (you can throw the MAF away! My system will be MAP based. You can forget about emanage or S-AFC etc ... I will have a standalone ready by then!

If you want to get the turbo kit, get the bare essentials first. For fuel control, the FMU should be good to start with. Heck, even if I don't get it done in a month, you haven't lost anything but a little time! The cam and crank triggering are more complex than I had anticipated, but I think it should be OK.

Is that going to work with the 5th gen too.

turbo97SE

Depending on which year of 5th gen. 2000-2001 should work with the same setup as 1995-1999. Nissan had a terrible habit of changing stuff even within years, as long as the ignition stuff and ECU triggering (crank and cam) is the same there shouldn't be an issue.

2002+ I believe they changed the cam and crank signals. I know for sure they did on the 350Z but not sure about the Maximas.

I believe crank and cam position sensors changed in 99.
