hey y'all i currently own a project 350z its a base model z 2006. I'm currently doing research because I'm wanting to do a single turbo build. me and my dad would build it together part by part. just making sure these are all the things i need for the build

-the turbo of course
-intercooler
-manifold
-downpipes
-external wastegates
-dump pipes
-cast oil pan
-intake

are these all the things i need for my build and also what size turbo and brand should i get and where can i get the rest of the parts for it thanks a lot would mean a lot if y'all could help

 

First of all, that list is way small.

Secondly, do a bit more research.

3rdly, where to get parts? Um... the places that sells them.

Doesnt get any cheaper than that...

 

Ill be honest, not a fan of rear mounts....

 

dreamer thread

 

That is the worst looking set-up I think ive ever seen... Its just so simple, I keep looking at it like damb thats it.

 

awwww, someone doesn't like me.....

 

 

LoL to the guy who has more thanks then I have posts... Although we both know they add up quickly when you post epic TnA pics...

They are all well deserved.

 

fuel pump, injectors, regulator (more power needs more fuel) suspension, wheels tires, prob best to do rear diff and bushing (to get power to the ground) brakes (so you can stop), uprev software, tuner, exhaust.... you need to do more research kid

Its also a base z so it will be 1 wheel peeling all over the place... Well not really very long. The life expectancy of the car after its up and running will probably not be very long.

 

How come no one has mentioned the most important part of the turbo charged system? I mean blow off valve?

 

that was pretty freakin funny!

 

Why would you try piecing a turbo setup together instead of buying a turbo kit? The Z isn't something you can piece together like an Evo or some ****.

You've got a lot of learning to do.

 

Dammit, Trav!! My screen and keyboard do NOT like coffee all over them!!

Where my microfiber at?

But it's a good morning when scalding hot java clears the sinuses.... in reverse.

 

^^^^ This.

However, OP, if you and yer pops have the fab skills and want to tackle this job - and try to improve on pre-engineered kits - then go ahead and take a look at the kits and determine what's in them to determine how much you can actually fab up and how much still needs to be purchased, e.g., you're not going to build tune/ECM, BOV, injectors, etc.

Doing it a la carte is your call but having gone down the aftermarket FI road a couple of times now, buying someone else's time and engineering is the MUCH EASIER (but still complex and difficult) route to take. Trust me, the cars I force fed were MUCH easier to work on than a Z33.

Agree, out of all the cars ive forced, the z was the most difficult. Fitement is tighter than a nun!

The easiest has to by a new edge mustang. So much room to work with. So straight forward.

The z is like a 100 piece puzzle with pieces that arent exactly perfect fitement. Something will have to be trimmed, adjusted, stretch, or rebent at one time or another. Pain in the ***.

 

Hell, putting test pipes and headers on an N/A Z is bad enough.
