Default Got my Z and now going turbo!!

After months of searching for the perfect Z I finally found one. It's a 2004 75Kmi 6spd, Nismo body kit, 19x9.5 19x10.5 LE37. I sold my G35 coupe 6spd track 3 years ago and missed it since the day I got rid of it. Though not a G35 my 350Z fits me better for what I want out of it. I'm going to enjoy it for the summer and then when September comes, I will put it down and fabricate a 67mm single turbo kit. Hope to see the stock motor put down some good numbers!!

Thanks guyS> I actually build turbo components for a living. The Z has a tight engine bay but I have been known to make alot happen with very little space

You can build turbos components but Z engine will go KABOOM if you don't build the engine, and even then there is a chance it will go KABOOM.

Thats why most of us stay away from turbo, but we all dream of having turbo. Are you have a dream too johnny?

:P

Haha ya we installed greddy kits on completely stock engines making over 450whp. Done my homework for years. And most of you don't stay away from turbos. That's why there is a turbo section on here. I will keep you guys posted

If your going for 450whp then you will blow your motor. I successfully ran my tock block at 365whp for a little over 75k miles and was a DD and took it accross country a couple times, but they all end and now I have 3 holes in my block. It was worth it though.
