Anyone got any idea, parts and labour? Also, what BHP roughly ?

the Z32 & VG are not really suitable for a Single turbo setup. As far as Im aware there has only been a couple of successfull converisons (in the U.S).

 

The main problem is room for a exhaust balance tube to connect both manifolds.

 

Whats the reasons behind wanting a single setup anyway ?

 

The VG is essentially 2x 1.5 litre engine and is best suited to a turbo for each bank rathe than a single feeding both sides.

Are you meaning a single conversion for a zed? I've been looking at this myself check out these if you are:

Seems pretty much limitless on what your after, the second made 650-700hp, awful lag though by the looks of it! the idea behind it would be to be able to swap turbos for diff applications but unless you can do alot of the work yourself i would think it would be difficult to get someone to do it and cost a flipping fortune!

Legrath: Basically, I have an N/A and want to increase power. I love my car and what I have done to it so dont want to sell and get a TT. Just looking for advice on max power and possibilities etc.

 

Stenorth: Cheers for that bud, keep me updated!! gonna check the links out now, the missus is watching Barry Potter on Sky BoxOffice so may as well use the time!

Cheapest/simplest method is to bolt on a pair of TT manifolds, turbos and intercoolers to your NA engine. Run around 7psi boost and it will have more power than a standard TT running 9psi becuase of the higher compresson ratio, as well as the benefit of improved acceleration from the NA rear diff ratio.

Thanks Legrath! What kind of costs am I looking at? And can you explain the rear diff? Read that somewhere else, but whats the difference, for the lamen!

Cool, it's a good idea in principle for ease of changing setup, if you've got alot of commitment i'd say it's more than possible. I like anything thats a bit different, if your on a budget though matey i'd say an engine transplant or low psi setup on your existing engine would be your best option.

 

It may never come about but i'm going to keep researching it.

Budgets not a *massive* problem, i say that loosely as I am married and women cost more than cars!!!! Keep me infomed though matey!

Depends on if you went for new parts of used, and if you were doing labour yourself or paying somebody.

 

All the required used parts could be obtained for around £500. If you wanted to get the tubs reconditioned before fitting then double that. Labour at a garage would be £750-£1000 I would imagine.

 

You would need Manifolds, tubs, Intercoolers, Pipework, ECU, Injectors, Sump and some oil&water piping.

 

The NA engine wont be able to take much more than 7-9psi boost becuase of the higher compression and weaker pistons, but that will give you over 300 horses.

 

If your after really big power then I would just drop in a TT engine with suitable upgrades. Its a very popular conversion in the U.S

 

Rear Diff - The NA has a differnet rear differential with a Higher gear ratio. It gives quicker acceleration, but lower top speed, so a car with 300hp and a NA diff will be quicker than one with 300hp and a TT diff (apart from losing 20mph of the top end....165mph or so still attainablen and will get there quicker)

Why dont you go down the supercharger route?

Nickz32: How much is that and what can I expect?

 

Legrath: So there is an advantage of an N/A Lol!

Hmm, this is a good alternative - i'm going to have a thing about how you could do this, never considered it because of not knowing where to start. As a starting point got a supercharge that would be a good match?

 

Cheers, Ste

Seen one Z32 supercharger setup before....with the Charger in place of the Aircon pump.

 

Me and Paul@swz looked into this for his Convertable at first. We then Turbocharged his NA engine (as above), but a loose oil feed on the motorway put end to that motor...and he has since dropped in a full TT lump instead.

 

I believe lymon has a z32 with a turbocharged NA engine.

Do ou know what kind of figures he is pulling out of it?

Ah ok, that sounds interesting!
