I think they told me I had to have over 100,000 miles, I've only got 75,555 miles or so. Either way, like I said, it's only $100 and it's every 2 years. Registration is another $40 or so, but you have to have your receipt from paying the property tax.

Latest update from JWT, The tuning on the Hotsot GA16 turbokit is doing well. It is running 8 psi with no detonation and runs hard. With the Hotshot pulse converter manifold, there is almost no lag with the T28 turbo.

Clark at JWT tells me it is strong for 8 psi and super responsive.

What was once said?

"If you have lag, you ain't driven right"
(Carroll Shelby)

or something like that. LOL. Oh wait, he was a chicken farmer. Well , he sure could drive cars and advertise.

Seriously, even with all of the bad mouthing that has been handed in Shelby's direction, I am a serious admirer of what he has accomplished. Not to mention that I am a fan of his 80's Turbo cars, even if he was just a name on the product.

Ok, so I haven't been following the boards and am kind of new here, so can someone get me a general run through on this whole turbo situation? Who exactly is developing a turbo for the GA16DE? I have a b13 ga sentra and would be very interested in getting a kit.

Would these kits be complete? And if so, how much would the be? Any info would be great, thanks

As posted the kit is made by Hot Shot. As far as prices, components, and whatnot. That will all be released once the tuning is complete. Probably within a few weeks.

Mike, you need to stop telling us about the car! When the kit is released it is SOOO mine. Just hope it plays nice with the head and cams.

I have driven Mikes car after putting a JWT clutch and PP in it, and it's very nice. I had the HotShot kit for my SR20, and this is a really strong kit, too. This 1.6 kit is very similar in power to a DET, IMHO.

I don't want to let too much out of the bag, but the car pulled really nicely from 3500prm to redline :-)
