Lol this kit will be full stealth and not draw any unnecessary attention from the wrong four legged curly tailed friends looking under the bonnet
This kit is and will be finished to the highest engineering standard and not some hack job made in the backyard while enjoying a slab So if we have to wait we wait why spend 7k+ on some top mount that will get you a emmission inspection date quicker than a rash from some 2 cent hooker You will never max this turbo out on our motors and this is what its all about efficiency, power and low heat More pics coming |

ST is going to be more expensive until someone manufacturers kits in significant quantities, and probably from a low labour cost country. Unfortunately i can't see it happening for years and years and maybe never for rhd. We will need to pay a premium the foreseeable future. Happy to be proven wrong!

Did you guys consider relocating the water pump and thermostat to the other side of the engine bay? We don't have a steering rack on that side and theres plenty of space for that stuff. Without the water pump and thermostat in the way that would open up a lot of space for a low mount

I think this one uses DOCRace Kit and runs external waste gates... I heard that it was a pain as they had to stuff around with the original placement.

Hi guys its a oil drain tank hooked up to a Weldon scavenger pump and yes its because of
the steering rack, the turbo sits to low and can't drain properly. This turbo uses an external turbo waste gate, the exhaust is a work of art. We looked at relocating the water pump but it doesn't really get in the way and by moving the pump to the other side would be a much bigger headache and a plumbing nightmare. The piping should be finished by the end of the long weekend and here is a sneek peek. Last edited by martymil; 06-09-2017 at 03:49 AM.. |

Multiple twin turbo JB failures make it not so expensive as pointed out by Socket on e90. Do it right and do it once. My car is a keeper.

Water pump relocation was considered on previous builds and this then given up due to the work and cost involved. There is AC, alternator, oil filter housingand power steering on the other side so not much room on front face of the motor. Assuming you could successfully relocate the water pump, a front mid mount only allows for the same size turbo we have due to the steering rack. Engine tilt doesn't help. A benefit would be a short, straight run for compressor discharge to IC but I wouldn't be so happy with turbo sucking air from a low mount short filter. No driving on rainy days. Higher mount filter then requires a very tight bend for inlet. RHD drive ST is all about the compromises. Alternative water pump solution would be good though. :-)

Myself and Mike have thrown wads of cash at the fabricator and the kit is already super expensive (lol), at least to get it to this point of completion. |

I have 1 customer locked in for the first production kit who is moving away from upgraded hybrids whilst I rebuild his motor following a cylinder 2 ring land failure. |

For those guys that want power, reliability and superb after sales support the larger v2 BB CHRA will allow us to use bigger wheel sets combined with the much sought after Zage front and rear cast housings. These turbos ain't gonna' be cheap but they will offer the best of both worlds and should be the most rwkW capable twin turbo hybrid on the market with reliability to match. I will have a set of these NOZ Stage 3 BB turbos in hand very soon and will update my other product threads accordingly. Thanks, JD. |
