What are the largest uprated turbos that can fitted in a Z without taking the engine out ?

Now there's a question. I can't honestly give you an answer but we can expand and speculate upon your question. In thoery.

 

Let's just just assume that turbo removal with the engine in place is a done deal. We all know it's possible, but not easy. Many sticks in the mud such as seized bolts etc. It's the access that's problematic not the turbos size. So theoretically it's a case of whatever fits without chassis modification should be changeable, should. So the question is what's the largest turbo that fits without major modification to the car itself. If the stock turbo only just clears on removal then maybe the answer is gt525/sport 500, ones that use stock housings.

 

Now let's ask the better question. Why? Bigger isn't necessarily better and you must consider what characteristics you want and what sort of power level you want. Fitting 6/700 hp turbos when you only wanted 4-500hp is falicy. Doing the job with the engine in might seem simpler but it brings with it other issues, engine removal allows to fix little things you didn't realise we're even an issue.

 

Put it this way, unless you've got an engine that's been out and serviced heavily recently then I think fitting them with it in place is a bad idea. Your cruising towards a headache with that route.
