Default Need some turbo help

im looking into getting a turbo for my 2005 350z enthusiast edition. the one i am looking at is a "bolt on" GTM twin turbo (https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart...on.php?II=9355) it looks like it has everything that i need to install without having to really do anything but put it on. im wondering if anyone has used this or if anyone can give me some advise on the install process. im going to do it myself as well. im new to turbos but im not new to getting some grease on my hands. it has all of the injectors, fuel pump, oil and water lines, and intercooler\piping. i cant see anything that i would need that isnt included in this kit. if their is please let me know!

This.

Go read you'd learn more like that, because questions like this just won't get answered.

If your new to turbo kits, don't try to install a twin turbo kit in a z by yourself, and everyone is saying gtm is out of business so you probably won't be able to get it

I called gtm about 3 weeks ago and they answered the phone, so I guess they have a skeleton crew or something. They didnt have what I needed anyway.

Well, whats your budget? The kit alone is like 10k. Plus support mods Suspensions and youre looking at 20-30k. Then you got tuning and possibilities or parts breaking. So budget about 40k or so.

What is your budget, how much power are you loking for, what is the car being used for, does you budget include supporting mods, or is it just for the turbo kit. Can't help much without full details.

The equivalence to your response would be going on a jeep website and saying you want to put a huge lift kit with 40 inch tires... And then explain your friend with a hummer is going to help you lift it..... No one will take you seriously not give you the response you need... Read up on forced induction for noobs... Modify it and upgrade clutch and rear end to be supporting for a turbo kit... Other then that this thread should close.... Waste of time

I found a gtm kit for 5500 mean suspension for 1200 I have rims and all the gauges and wireing is less then 300. I am very capable of doing all the work myself. I have access to a lift a cherry picker and engine stand. Along with a full toolbox. I posted on the very first post the link to the turbo kit I am looking at. I just need someone to help let me know if it's good for daily and if theirs anything else I need to get other then gauges

Depending on power level. Youll need injectors, fuel pump, better intercooler, oil catch can. THERE IS A LOT involve in turboing a car. You cant just slap it on like an air intake...

if thats the kit you want and they have it (i'd call czp to be sure) then cool. Go with that, you will also need gauges, a new clutch, and prob a lsd. I would also recommend CJ motorsports stage 0 RFS, Tons of heat wrap/fire sleeve and def. a oil cooler setup with thermostat. Thats a start at least...start researching everything and buy it all. then pull the engine and slap it on. good luck

Skip the GTM and go with AAM. If I could do it all over again, I'd go with theirs. Much cleaner install.

yes, gtm kits r bolt on, and u can run it on stock internals with nothing else. just bolt on, load the map they provide and be happy. just dont push over 10 psi, bc the stock might not hold, but i know its good for 400-450whp, thats a rough estimate.

although the cost of internals is another thing. i'm planning a tt set up and the bottom end tt kit exhaust and all the gauges only abt 20g
