Obayashi Factory Car at Tokyo Auto Salon 2004
here is another single turbo setup on the Obayashi Factory demo car. The setup looks like the one that was on the Option Stream Z car
it also had the Apex speed variable gt-wing

I think this car is wicked. Unlike the option Z (JUN Z) which does not have a VQ35 engine, Obayashi Factory car is a monster of a single turbo VQ35. I hope this will encourage a few to make a single turbo kit. Here are more pics.
"The Obayashi Factory tuned i-mobisses Fairlady Z Z33 was definitely a crowd favorite and featured a grip of A’PEXi equipment – including an AX75F92 turbo mounted in full glory above the engine. A flat mount intercooler, full rollcage, ICE, and lots of carbon made this Z a true example of excess. "

Eh? Are you sure that the JUN Z wasn't a VQ35? If not, then what was it? When I saw it in person, it sure looked like a VQ35 to me. Just a different intake manifold. I also was inspecting the second crate engine they had there too.
Btw, it looks like the engine was tilted to fit the turbo on top.

these are the for the JUN/Option Z car:
Outfitted with a GReddy T88H turbocharger producing over 750 ponies, this orange-pale metallic Nissan 350Z is a race-bred natural beauty. Peering inside the engine bay, I was entranced by the workmanship of the setup: A VQ30DET sits in the bay supported by an army of custom-made JUN products. "I chose JUN to tune the car because they have experience running in the Silver State Classic, as well as great knowledge in American tuning," explained Yoshimura-san. Almost every part inside and outside the engine is a JUN fabrication. JUN cams, boasting a 272 duration and 9.8 lift, help the stock valves open wide enough to let the exhaust and air move efficiently during the high speeds, which is also assisted by the JUN valve springs, while the air makes its way to the JUN cylinder head via a GReddy air intake, a VH45 throttle body, and a custom JUN intake manifold.
Yeah, the hood must look disgusting to accomdate that setup. If I were a gambling man, I'd say that you probably have to eliminate the A/C, and cut/fabricate a bunch of stuff to get that to fit. Just speculating....
Id give up my AC for that setup. I also wouldnt mind the mild hood bulge needed to make that fit. That thing is awesome!!!!!!!
Do you all think it would be cheaper because its just one turbo or am I wishful thinking??

If you look at the Obayashi Factory Car, at the base of the windshield, the sides holding up the hood are raised, and its kinda obvious because its not exactly flush with the windshield.
I think one-turbo setups are sweet. Less heat to deal with; thus, less maintenance.

interesting statement: ""I chose JUN to tune the car because they have experience running in the Silver State Classic, "
They were the ones that had the 350z flip 20 times when the tire blew at 150mph.
Those single turbo setups are crazy. I just don't understand why single is harder than double. I'm missing something about these things.

A V6 has 2 banks of cylinders so therefore it also has 2 exhaust manifolds. A twin turbo would have a turbo running off each header so the piping would be some what straight forward. A single turbo would need the exhaust headers to combine into one. This makes for a difficult fitment with the limited space under the hood. I think....
It was not Jun's fault that the tire blew at that speed. I believe it was a special made Michelin tire and just blew up at super speeds. Anyhow, they're coming back this year to try again. I wonder what they have up their sleeves...

2 turbos to share 1 engines heat = less heat. right? RIGHT??!!
