No pics or specs? Anything will fit with time and money.

It will go well with your nitrous.

A conservative estimate is 450 horsepower with 150 shot plus turbo boost.

Unlike the Supra, it requires a lot of custom fab work to fit a T5 turbo in the engine bay of a 350Z. For example, the Injected Performance 350Z with a GT4788 turbo...



As you can see, the stock radiator support was removed and a radiator of approximately half the width of OEM was installed.

what in the world is a t5? are you talking about the turbine flange? who cares what flange connection it has. Everything else matters and the flange matters none. what turbo is it, what size is it, ect......

I'm sure he meant T5 flange. We refer to "T3" and "T4" all the time on here. If it was on a 3.0L 2JZ motor, it should be fine on a VQ for a drag application. I am curious though to know what model turbo the OP was given.

so he can get away with a small radiator. Engine only runs for a minute at a time.



Probably a junk turbo from ebay.

Exactly. It wouldn't make much sense to run a T5 size turbo for a street car application anyway.



If it was on a Supra, it might be a decent name brand turbo. (At least I'd hope so)

my point was the flange doesn't determine fitment at all. You can change the flange, change the exhaust, etc etc. Depends on mounting location as to whether it will fit or not. anything can be made to fit.

Ricers just annoy me when they talk about their car and say "i have a t3 turbo on it" or "it's a 50 trim". Ok, well what size is it, brand, etc etc. saying one pointless piece of the puzzle is useless. Oh, my all time favorite "i'm running 20lbs of boost". Great, 20psi means diddly. 20psi on a 55mm turbo is going to yield way different power than 20psi on a 76mm turbo. Still 20psi though....

all the DSM guys keep saying 50 trim, I asked my brother (DSM guy drives a talon) what is a 50 trim? what do you measure to get a 50 trim? are you referring to compressor or turbine as 50 trim?
His answer Its a 50 trim...

To the OP I think a better question is, How much power am I pushing with my 6766 at the moment, Here is a picture to help you out
