very cool. question, do you think it would have been a lot easier to just fab up a twin turbo kit and maybe cost about the same since you'd be buying 2 smaller turbos and wouldn't have all the duct work up front?

sick non-the-less, just curious...

This overall is one of the sickest projects I have seen, period.

And to be a DIY is awesome, keep up the great work.

This is a great writeup and inspiration! I'm building a VQ for an old Z31 right now, and you've shown me some pretty cool ideas. I love the intake manifold especially.

Almost identical to my setup except for you have a top mount and I have a bottom mount. Time to get that thing running and make some power!!

Finished piping the wastegate return pipe. That completes the piping for the turbo setup minus the blow off valve which I will add later. Motor will be pulled soon to start shaving the engine bay and prepping the chassis for paint. Here are some final shots of the turbo setup:

Just some cheapo stainless ebay headers. Cut them and flipped them and re welded them. We went over the welds to strengthen them too, should do the trick.

i really wanna turbo my Z. Im trying to wait until I know which route i want to go. Learned a great deal owning a 240sx. dont want to repeat the mistakes of the past. I was rushing and cutting corners. thanks for the info brother. You should set up a paypal account to see if fellow my350z owners would donate to your project. I think many would. Just a thought. Keep up the Good work. absolutely awsome build.

Default JDM Tyte Yo!

Got my JDM S14 Zenki Rear Valances in from Japan today, used, but in mint condition, when I saw them I had to snag them up. Im going to be using Zenki rear bumper, valnces and side skirts, I think it will flow better with the S15 front and greddy lip.
