Won't fit without major surgery

 

I think given your repeated questions on the same subject, it's clear you don't understand what you're looking for, but are desperate for what would appear to be 500+ hp and get yourself a bargain. This mix doesn't go together.

 

Find a tuner, tell them your goals and sign a cheque

Or

Do the research, take a risk and save a few quid

 

Everyone is being patient with you, but you're still asking the same thing every time, though in different guises

I have to say, for me, the buying of turbos etc is a hard thing to really understand. I don't think there is a daft question or one not worth asking and sometimes people talk in numbers about how good things are and half of it makes no sense to me.

 

I think it could be false economy to buy cheaper products but then again I don't know. I think it'd be better to perhaps ask what stuff you should buy to reach whatever goal you have, then people will possibly suggest decent products. Like I like the Greddy TD05 16G turbos I have. I don't know a lot about the technical aspects of the turbo but its not too laggy, capable of decently big power (over 600bhp).

I now its godspeed stuff but that aside do the numbrrs match up. Its a glebay jobby. 181220410632.

Slag away.

 

Alan, I know that you want a high powered setup. But trust me you are going to have to buy from a well known 300zx specialist. Whether that CZP, Speciality Z, Or Z1 is up to you. I would strongly recommend that if your going down this route to do it once and do it with the most respectable supplier and brand that you can afford. Buying from an unknown eBay supplier, with potentially "knock off" products is only going to end badly.

 

If your going to pay someone to pull your motor then expect to be looking at anything from £800-£1200 and upwards. If you end up with inferior turbos and it all needs come out again soon because you bought "cheap" first time round you are soon going to spending out more than what you saved initially. Obviously if your doing the work yourself then it's just the aggro you face of doing the job again.

If I were you I would save up or take out a loan and be done with it once and for all. Once you start down the route for more power it's never ending mate, and you an easily spend 8-12k once finished!

 

Not having a go Alan, but please think and buy carefully.

Good churbos, 400+bhp on a 1809cc engine at 1.7 bar from one of them.

 

If you're looking at a big single conversion, easiest way is to move the battery to the boot. Single turbo custom manifold, 3" v-band downpipe mated to a single exit exhaust,

 

If you're looking at fitting twin T70s, you'd need a fully-forged & preferably stroked engine build, cams, 8k rev limit and all that that entails, nitrous should be a consideration, a MAF with higher airflow capabilities or a MAP-based standalone, chassis work to be able to fit the turbos if you're going for stockish location, custom T4 manifolds, 3" v-band downpipes, 3" fully separate exhaust system, twin external wastegates, 3" IC pipework. 5 figures if you're wanting a reliable 1000bhp (well, as reliable as a 3.25L 1000bhp engine can be). The stroker kit is £5.6k from Nengun.

 

Either way, if you're planning on spending the money required to fit two of them, you'd be much better off with some Borg-Warner turbos IMO. Makes no sense fitting Chinese turbos to a £15k engine.

I was looking at getting new turbos and ant got a clue what I'm looking at when people put figures down its all gobbledygook to me bit thicke need to be shown with a big red Crown so I'm sticking with what came on the engine just changeing the gaskets over and seals save than sorry

Ok .how about these. I think they do everything that i want.and after and with a few mods should get me my reliable 500 bh mark.they are the gt600r.bb turbos. The only down side from z1 they will cost me $2945.or 1.500 pounds plus shipping.i love the idea but dont love the price. Espeacally when godspeed do there own version fo less than half that.surley there not that bad. Who makes godspeed. The japs

he Common Law of Business Balance (attributed to John Ruskin) says:

There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey. It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

Or, as my FD says:

Buy cheap, buy twice

The shortest version of this (nearly) is from both Heinlein and Niven:

You can buy the turbos is that z1 kit for about a grand in this country but you need to convert them, that requires your own research and fabrications. It's not a five minute job, this is why it was said to you, either do lots of research or hand over some monies to someone with the knowledge.

Godspeed are based in Canada and manufactured in china as far as I'm aware.

He's saying this is the point where you either do your own research or pay someone to do it for you.

 

I had GT28 turbos converted to fit the VG. £999 and they're yours.

Best bet is to ask Mark what he recommends and then hand him the cash as people have said and let him do the work....??

Yup exactly. If you can't or don't wish to be a big spender you need to be smart.

 

Are those true gt28's as I'm journal bearing five bolt rears?
