Single Turbo Z32? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

bardabe · 07-18-2009, 02:16 PM

GUYYYYYZ onyl a few of us know, there is only 2 Single Turbo Z32's out there. one of em is now wrecked / done and the other one is nowhere to be seen on the net now in days.

I sold my Stock Turbos, and from the wreck all My AC stuff got owned. that leaves me with no Twins and a big empty spot in my engine bay. I've been thinking about it and I'm curious about a Single Turbo Z32.

if I went single turbo, I will rock a Holset for Spool and Power Purposes, I already have the Nistune EMS and Nismo 555cc INjectors, all Manifolds, Piping, Intercooler and so on would be made custom by yours truly. I just can't seem to make up my mind in eithe getting a set of Twins Custom Made, and make my set up plug and Play ish. or just go waste some time and money and fab up a single turbo kit for the "unique" Factor.

I think you should go single or rb26 swap with a single

Maximamike · 07-18-2009, 02:55 PM

Email the owner of Z32power.com. His name is Joel and at one time he had a bad ass single turbo convertible that he made.

BustedS13 · 07-18-2009, 03:27 PM

but like all the stuff about looking and sounding better, and those being your only reasons
that was for lols, yes?

bardabe · 07-18-2009, 03:35 PM

I seen the thread on the Atlanta Guy, I don't like his set up in my Opinion it looks like ass. Mine will be much cleaner

I know about Joel I'm Thinking of Making my set up similar to his, exept a little more spool friendly. and Just Surge the fuckin Turbo No Blow off valves lol I do plan to street the car at about 14 - 16 psi. and then turn up the boost for the track maby 20ish psi.

s13 @ fullboost · 07-18-2009, 03:52 PM

if you go single are you going to have like a rear mount turbo? like weld up the manifolds and flange it near the diff kind of? or somewhere back there ??

Sileighty_85 · 07-18-2009, 04:49 PM

InlineS13 · 07-18-2009, 05:13 PM

no I would to a wrap around manifold on one side, and put the turbo where the AC compressor used to be, plumb the intercooler to a Veritcal Flow FMIC, one inlet two outlets, then plumbt them into the stock throttle bodies,.

bardabe · 07-18-2009, 05:59 PM

don't really matter I'll take my time and do it right, Im doing all the custom fab work anyway so thats saves allot most / all th emoney that gets spent will go towards the turbo and metal to make parts/ I got all the other supporting mods.

There's a thread on 300zx club, complete with video of a guy that did it. T61 I believe too. Wicked fast. Lemme find it for you.

EDIT: T70 is what he ran. Here's the link:
http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread....t=single+turbo

And video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...899&pr=goog-sl

Did the manifold Z31 style. Single end tank on one side, twin end tank on the other to split into the two throttle bodies. Sucks the pictures are down.

OBEEWON · 07-19-2009, 05:09 AM

Single.

TQ of a V6, with spool of a straight 6. Win win. That single vert was amazing. The sound was glorious.

bardabe · 07-19-2009, 11:39 PM

I'm so bored I'm actually going to do it. just for shits and giggles lol

lazysk8er2 · 07-19-2009, 11:52 PM

maybe take some ideas from the z31 single turbo possible if some parts are interchangeable or just get an idea on how to mount it on a dual cam vg and stuff it in that crammed engine bay.
