I want to turbo my z. I'm looking for some guide lines or somthing to fallow. I'm looking to get just a single turbo but also if I want to drive home to Maine (1000mi) I can. please point me in the right direction. How do you tell the model of the car also no book with it. Says Nismo on the back Nismo shifter and intake also Nismo caps under hood.

Probably some high compression pistons so you have no turbo lag and instant power as low as 1k in the rev range.

I recommend 13.5:1 compression ratio for your pistons on your turbo set-up.

Also, make your air/fuel ratio as lean as possible to be on the knife's edge of performance and you'll beat any car on the road and even on a track.
