Default 350Z Greddy Twin Turbo Concept

http://www.overboost.com/picture.asp...i=DSC02651.JPG

"We were nearly taken aback when we found that this Nissan 350Z already had a prototype twin-turbo system on it. GReddy engineers have been on the ball tuning this bad-boy, and we hope GReddy will succeed where Nissan has failed. (The 90-96 300ZX Twin Turbo was a bomb.) Considering that modern enthusiasts are much more sophisticated than enthusiasts of just a few years ago, we anticipate this system should sell at least as well as Supra turbo kits." - OverBoost.com

just saw Xtreme Imports on TNN about the SEMA show & they had this spotlighted. 2-Greddy TD0518G turbos, only 1-FMIC & a boost controller & fuel mgmt system still being tuned between 450-500hp. Tein coilover system w/ Alcon hi-performance brakes. man that BLUE is rich, & too rich for my blood.

I'm pretty sure they meant bomb as in failure. Sticker price for a 1996 300ZX twin turbo was $42,100 w/o any options! Adjusting for inflation the car would cost about $50,000 in today's dollars! A 1996 turbo Supra cost $49,000 w/o options! Thats about $63,000 in today's dollars.

never thought of it that way.

but for the 10k extra you pay to get an enthusiast model of the 350Z, i think you should get two turbos along with the LSD, brembos, 18's and etc.

I think you mean Brembos. A complete Brembo set alone is $2k-$3k. Then the Rayes 18" rims, that's alot of $$ too. LSD is another $1k. Twin turbo is too much to ask along w/ the othe stuff as well.

No, i mean rembos...... jfwy lol ooops mistype lol.


anyways, think it cost Nissan 1k to put the LSD in there? You think they pay full retail price to brembo? i dont think so. maybe two turbos was asking for too much, but i do think for under 40k they could easily offer a 350Z TT. But with the GT-R coming, that wont happen.
