Just get a Quaife and call it done, best thing out there.

 

Hello,

Albeit no longer a topic that should be discussed in a forced induction thread, for street cars we always recommend 1.5 ways. 2.0 ways are more for track because they lock up very easily. That becomes a potential liability then, as you can quite easily lose control if the diff locks up going into a turn while braking. Buy a 1.5 way.

My thoughts..

Did I miss it, or does this thread show the tranny breaking point?

 

A quick search would have turned up that the limits of our trans has not been found SP makes 1248 rwhp stock trans.

 

quick question is procharger a turbo somewhat? So would it be illegal for cali?

 

There is no such thing as a "somewhat" turbocharger. It's either a turbo or not a turbo. (ProCharger is a supercharger system, NOT turbo). To address your second question: the only CARB legal aftermarket products are labeled "CARB LEGAL". ProCharger is not CARB legal, neither are any turbocharger systems on the market...

Yes, but some people are losing 3rd gear with roughly half that power...

 

Truth. Actually, the early years ('03-'04.5) manual trans had 3rd gear synchro issues from the factory. So, if you didn't get that handled by Nissan (they were replacing transmissions) while the car was still under warranty, you could have a bad 3rd gear just being stock!

Yup, still hit or miss though,

SP went 9.35 (with many passes in the 9's) on a stock '03 008 trans lol

I know for turbonetics, they can supply you with cats for passing emissions. If i purchased a APS single turbo, will i be able to pass emissions? If not, what do i have to do to pass?

 

not a lot of info on SC's.

 

This will be my first reply on this forum, just joined. First let me compliment this thread, I'm not new to car mods, but even so this is an awesome source of info, I tip my hat. I'm just curious, because I see several threads discussing sleeves, however it's stated that the stock block and crank are good well past 600+rwhp. I'd like to know (not that I'm questioning your info) where all these numbers everyone throws out come from.

 

Long story short... Sleeves are a thing of the past (In most cases). The stock block has been proven to handle most mild, and even some wild builds. Sleeves would work if it was a quarter-mile queen, and was daily driven once in a while. Can sleeves work in a daily application; sure. Are they needed like everyone though 3-4 years ago, absoluetly not.

 

Ok Q. im not a noob on turbos just a new 350z owner and dont know much about the cars setup. (late subaru owner) Ive got a 04 that i want to turbo. i have a 18g turbo that i want to put on, first is this a possible application? Has anybody tried? would love to know if i should attept to do this or if its a waste of time.

 

You have one 18G or twins? The Greedy TT kit for the 350z has twin 18G's and there are optional 20G turbos out there as well.

 

OK Q. im not a noob to turbos, but a new 350Z owner and not knowledgable on the cars setup. (late subaru owner) So back to my Q I want to turbo my 04 Z with a single T3/T4 18g turbo. is this application theroetically possible? Has anybody ever tried this? I know ill prob have to do some custom pipe work, Just curious if this is a waste of time or should i atleast attept the project.

 

one 18g just looking for a little pep in the step. no huge power gains and i already have the turbo thats sitting im garage, so im assuming that this is possible

 

If it's a waste of time is completely up to you. Is it possible, yes. Are there better turbos out there for the Z, yes. I think you need to do your research (Price and time wise), and see if it works out to be better than purchasing a turbo kit, and doing the labor your self.

I think there are a few people that have attempted similar setups. You just gotta search through the FI section.

 

Ok thanks for the info ive got a limited budget and i think i can find another 18g to throw on there. ive got all the parts nessary to do the job, i just didnt know if that turbo would fit. the turbo is from mitsubishi they come on the evo 9 will this still work if its an 18g? of will i have to change the housing?

 

5-bolt?
