This should be interesting...

 

Why do you say that.I know all about turbos lol just new to the 350z.The piping is all set an the intercooler is good its just the turbo I am stuck on.

 

put your flame suit on son..

my quick advice.. look at the Major turbo kits and copy them if you want custom.. either way its gonna be more than 4K !! about 2-3K more

 

It shouldn't be that much The pipes an intercooler are all set.I have to get a fuel pump an injectors plus the utec to thats it so it can't be more $2-$3k more.

 

(Release the Kracken....)


I'll be back later to close this when the flamage gets too out of hand.

 

my suggestion would be just to read threads on single turbo kits, it all depends on what your looking for, quick spool? more potential? etc..

 

don't worry about all the haters.. a lot of people in the FI forum don't like DIY

5000 miles on the DIY kit so far and still going!


i laugh at turbonetics har har

 

How is this flamage.This is a real questions so how is this a flame thread.Sorry I wanna do things a little different then you.I like doing things different so if you dont like it tough ****.I just want some answers to my questions.I am anot cheap I just wanna be different an say hey guess what this is what I am running an be able to help other people out.

 

At least u can turbo yours, i have an HR and it blows, probly gonna do a RB26 swap this winter, thats gonna be hard to do but im ready for the task. Buy a turbo kit, it will be well worth the money. Before I get flamed, i know the rb26 is AWD so im taking that out and replacing the oil pan with a rb25 and running a rb25 trans.

 

What are you talking about? You can get a HR turbo kit right now if you wanted.

As far as the OP asking about building a turbo kit... If you don't even know about turbo sizing then you probably shouldn't be building a kit. You'd get a better response if you did your own research and if you needed opinions, present a few turbos sizes that you think might work.

 

Please look up the proper definition of flammage and you will see the the Mods are protecting you (and also making fun of this thread toungue-in-cheek styleeee)

 

Can I have the turbo when it blows? I need a fancy paperweight for my desk.


Just kidding, don't freak...but if it does happen....

 

hmmmmm 2004350z16 = 2004 350z (driven by) 16y.o.
whydontpeople use punctuationanymore it makes it hardto understand whatonearth you are trying to say what are you trying to say. I'm going to make up an answer since I choose not to comprehend massive, lazy, runon sentences. Get a Garrett GT60.

This one:


Or read corky bells "turbocharged!" contact Garrett, Mitsubishi, or any other automotive turbo manufacturer directly, and find out which turbo has the correct compressor map that meet your needs.

WOOWOO! reading 4tehWINZ!

 

Not bad, but really in turbo sizing it should be turbine first then finding a compressor to match.

Not that I think that's a bad choice in turbos (depending on turbine housing). I think it would work well.

 

im not wanting to make a custom turbo kit, i know that greddy is about to release there kit for the HR but i heard it had a bad hp rating. So im gonna do a engine swap this winter and put a skyline rb26 engine in with a rb25 trans. Who wouldn't think that would be an awesome car?

 

Some estimated the cost well near 50,000 with labor and fabrication to do a swap like that. Don't like the numbers? turn up the boooost! You have to look at the potential, not the numbers they got on one car...

 

(note that this isn't meant as a flame, I just don't understand the logic here)

Ok, so you don't want a fabricated turbo kit, but you're willing to fabricate a conversion to an entirely different motor with a totally seperate transmission?

Also, How do you figure the HR Greddy TT would have a 'bad hp rating'? If they use the same turbos as the DE kit I would assume you could make well over 450whp (maybe even 500whp) on a stock HR and well over 600whp on a built motor. Also, you can run an HKS turbo kit and have someone mount an intercooler with piping and easily have a baller custom turbo setup with great power potential.

It's easy for any shop to do... certainly a lot easier than swapping in a 15 year old motor with less displacement.

 

Im not the guy that started this thread i never wanted to custom build a turbo kit, and the rb26 is a awesome, the VQ cant even match its stock block hp rating, and how many Z's have u saw rolling around with a rb26 under the hood? Also its a smaller liter but its a inline 6, just like the supra motor its a 3.0 liter that holds a record for 806 whp stock block! Skyline is nissans icon why not use the skyline motor and be different and very fast.
