In a hurry? Here is our 350z turbo kit summary

The G35 is certainly a great looking car and often overlooked for its sportier sibling – the 350Z. Here at Drifted, we have a lot of love for the G35, so we’re going to help you turn it into a Z33 killer!

You may have initially felt like your G-series had a decent grunt from its well-refined V6 engine, but there’s always that underlying quest for the ultimate power to unleash it’s true potential.

Both the VQ35DE and HR engines are fantastic engines, however, strapping forced induction to them is undoubtedly the cheapest and most convenient way to achieve substantial power gains.

Not sure if a turbo or supercharger fits your forced induction needs best? Then make sure you check out our turbocharger vs supercharger guide. You can find our dedicated G35 supercharger article right here.

We’ve written this guide to explain the differences and help you decide which of these off-the-shelf turbo kits fits your needs.

Take a ride with TheSmokingTire as they get behind the wheel of a 550hp twin-turbo G35 to see what the G-series is truly capable of!

Turbocharging a little out of your price range right now? Then why not pick up an intake plenum spacer? Our G35 test pipes and G35 y-pipes guides will also unlock some affordable horsepower for your VQ35.

Our winner

Our winner is the JWT Twin Turbo kit

To pick our winner from this choice of G35 turbo kits we looked at a number of criteria; ease of installation, power levels, upgrade potential and price point.

Based on these criteria we have chosen the JWT Twin Turbo kit to be our winner.

Jim Wolf Technologies Twin Turbo kit

With the high quality of components, USA based manufacturing and support base, low boost twin turbo response, motorsports proven track record (the kit was developed on their own competition car) and price point the JWT Twin Turbo kit makes a very good case for itself.

The Turbonetics kit looks pretty decent and is very affordable for a turbo kit however you will be limited by the turbo charger if you want to chase more power with a built engine. The single turbo also suffers from more lag.

The two Japanese kits both look like great systems however retailers are running out of stock as they are becoming discontinued so finding replacement parts may be a struggle. The higher price point on both of these units also marked them down slightly.

So thanks to Jim Wolf Technology for helping out G35 owners looking for more power by putting out a great product!
