Hi all - possible stupid question here:

 

Is there such a beast as a single-turbo 300? I'd never heard of one until I recently found someone's site that listed masses of performance cars. In the Nissan category it had several entries for 300's by year, but actually listed three different types, the NA, a "300ZX Turbo", and the TT. The performance stats for the 'single-turbo' where about halfway between the other two cars.

 

I wouldn't have though much of this, but I recently saw a car at a dealer that didn't have the TwinTurbo badge on the back, but did have the boost gauge on the dash. Any ideas?

Nope not possible on the Z as due to Plenum design the Z32 Turbos are Parallel and not sequential like the Supras which have the one big turbo conversions.

 

The Single turbo 300zx is probably the Z31.

have a look at www.zhome.com if you dont know what they look like. Z ya

actually it is possible (but not practical and only if you've got wads of money and want to go REAALLLY fast).

 

JUN/Blitz built a single turbo monster for the Bonneville salt flat runs, all the exhaust manifold piping came forward and the turbo sat where the radiator was, a custom single plenum was made up for the induction side.

 

Not something you'd want to tootle down to the shops in!
