I'm considering this setup and Im looking for some feedback. What are your mods and what does your car run? Any problems?
I have had a few superchargers in the past but would rather go turbo on my Z.
Thanks.

I have the base kit slightly modified (search username). On 18#'s with a mild junkyaed lq4 build it made 856rwhp/920tq. Highway mpg it avg'd 27.8 and it went 190mph in the ohio mile (13#'s boost setting) spinning a cam bearing. Crappy 1/8 mile teack it ran 6.60@111 on 14#'s. Finishing forged 370 build now.

Thanks for the reply. Thats about what Im looking for. I have a forged ls6 ported heads and a LJM stage 2 cam. I would be happy to get the numbers you did.

Bone stock z06 here, on e85 with i think 8 psi made 613hp with room for more but I asked for a conservative tune because I was afraid of blowing up the block...4 years later still love the car and highly recommend the kit as well as the crew at UPP

Wow thats great power for 8 pounds on a stock motor. So 4 years without any problems?

Derrick just clicked out 1223whp with his...

^ Nice!

Yeah its been 4 great years! Only problem I have is that I want to turn up the boost but i also don't want to be sweeping up pieces of my engine . If I were to do it all over again I would do the kit without hesitation.

I just fired up my new 370" engine on Sunday. As soon as its dry enough to drive. I'll get the clutch/engine broke in and see what these little 5871's do on 20-22#'s of boost.

How is your ic pipe clearance on the part that runs through the front fenders? I have 295s on 18x10.5 rears on the front and wondering if you think that would cause fitment issues? Thanks

JoeyG

I cut into my inner fenders in some spots for more room. My Toyo R 888 275/40/17 actually measure out like a 295. With the trimmed sections in back of wheel wells and a spot or two otherwise I have no issues going lock to lock with compressed suspension. Maybe a very light glimmer of rub in some scenarios.

Brice Peters

You wouldn't happen to have a pic of how you cut into your fenders do you?

JoeyG

I'll take some in the morning, before I drop the car off the jackstands.

JoeyG

The cutouts along the frame rails were from when I was dropped 2" on stock leafs and running a 315 front tire. Now a little over an inch currently dropped on coilovers with no issues.

Brice Peters

Thanks for the pics! Is that all the piping that came with the kit or did you need to make/trim the pieces to get it to fit like that?

JoeyG

that's all the original cold side piping, but I changed couplers in some spots.

I don't have there turbo kit but I do have there fuel kit and I have to say the customer service is top notch.

We try, and in reality at the end of the day CS is what is most important!

JoeyG

I can agree to that statement, CK's support is very good.
