well i plan on using the stock manifolds and an adapter plate to mount the turbos dont really know what size to use yet or internally or externally waste gated for the matter and either make some down pipes or scavenge for used ones of course custom intercooler piping and as far as the intercooler i'm hopin to find a 3.5x13x34 2-in 2-out intercooler for fuel i plan on using injectors and the fuel pump from a 300zx maybe an fmu until i can find somethin that isn't so pricey as far as a piggy back goes i'm mostly gonna need help on trouble shooting and finding deals and lookin for cheap parts and i hope to have the first homemade kit for the hr z

Turbo News

let us know how your build goes... i would just score an intercooler off of ebay, grab a walbro fuel pump, fab up some downpipes, internal wastegate turbo, grab some injectors, piggyback ecu and call it a day...

thats what im plannin don't know what size turbos to get im lookin to run around 7 psi and i'm not sure what kind of piggy back to get

plpz2104

any one have suggestions for a pair of internally waste gated turbos to run ? something cheap but will give me the boost i want which is about 8 psi

Turbo News

use a ct26 turbo off of a 3sgte celica... should be available for cheap from your local jdm parts warehouse with little mileage... I think they're regulated to 6.8 psi

MAJORAHOLE

those ct26's are not easy for everyone to find. i kow 14b's are at about 8-9psi stock gated. and they're pretty nice, depending on what your gonna want

plpz2104

you think they'd be big enough for the z?
