Turbo intake question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I often see people post that they have the Injen intake, and they are preping for a turbo..?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>  Doesn't the turbo Force feed the manifold, with directly or through an intercooler?  

Please let me know if I'm a moron..

Well you might be a moron.....who knows. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

But if you talking about gregshin post, I think he just meant to say that his car is all stock except for an Intake.......and he is saying he should get an Exhaust to prep for the turbo, but he knows to get rid off the Injen when the turbo comes in....... I think.

And if you're asking how did I get all that from his post.....well... that I don't know.

yeah..,  your probably right with the first statement there.. lol  

ok..  I just find it interesting that I've seen so many posts where people state they are preping for turbo's, but they've purchased CAI's etc, and headers.  Seems like a waste to me..

Kid Zelda · 01-04-2002, 03:21 PM

Yup, it does seem like a waste to me... thats why I don't even think about buying performance parts for the engine....you know.  But I guess they want a little extra more for now, or they don't even want to go turbo..they're fine N/A.

*sykikchimp* · 01-04-2002, 03:28 PM

I guess it all depends on your time frame..  If I was going to go turbo in 3 years..  I would probably buy that stuff..  if within a year.  no.  

Whatever floats their boat.

Yup.. that's how its done
in da TWO DOUBLE O..... TWO ! ! !

Personally, i'm going N/A, so that's my reason for getting headers and intake, etc.
