Guest prescience Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm trying to get some Uk tuners interested in installing FI kits on our cars. We have a solution for APS and some tuners who will do Vortech. What, if any, is the level of interest out there and if so, in what kit. Turbonetics ST, APS Single, GReddy TT, JWT TT? What are you realistically expecting to pay for kit and install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 from what I heard the JWT TT is supposed to be as well built and as good as the APS, so i vote for that (and possibly the new HKS ST and TT) mine is just an interest for the future though, not near either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest prescience Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Take a look here - I don't think what you say is correct http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread. ... 45&page=12 Where you are correct is that APS have marketed a tuner-installed FI kit for the 350Z in the UK and this is something the other manufacturers have yet to cotton on to. But their kit is expensive here precisely for the reason that they have the market cornered - that is not in the end-users interests and will change and I for my part am trying to make that change happen by contacting UK installers with the help of Matt at CPRacing. Alos, I very much doubt that HKS copied APS - I'm sure toykilla (josh) can help us out with that one - I think they would be horrifed to hear anyone say that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toykilla Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Improving on current systems is the name of the game. APS openly admitted to buying a Greddy kit and improving on it. What is wrong with JWT and HKS doing similar. JWT does Nissan performance almost exclusively. Their turbo kit has been on the drawing boards for along time and I seriously doubt they are merely copying another design. HKS is a different story entirely. They have been around along time and have been pioneers on every level. They are credited as offering the first ever aftermarket bolt on turbo system for a car. At this time it is too early to know what they are doing. All we know at this point is the turbo type they will include and they are including catalytic convertors. Every system takes a different approach, and its very hard to get clear cut answers these days because too many people choose sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 agree with dorian and josh, especially to the fact that once APS is not going to be the ONLY possible TT in the Uk for the Z, proces WILL get down to a reasonable level too. Competition is always good PS laguna seca! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeToRide Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I would say its too early to say whether the JWT is as well built as the APS as it hasnt been out long at all. Does look good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toykilla Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 unfortunately, I dont see prices dropping on any of the FI systems. In fact almost all companies have announced prices will increase. Even with the higher competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 yeah Josh, but 1 thing is US prices (which compared to Uk prices seem fair) and then there's ripoff Britain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
