$1800 to spend... help! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I wonder... will 1800 get me the components for a turbo KA? I already have a good fuel system in place... fuel pressure regulator on larger injectors (assuming 370s?), I dont know how to check them. Either way im good to run 5-7 psi... lemme know what I can get for the turbo upgrade as of now and what I will need. Reliability is the name of the game so ill sacrifice power for reliability.

1800 will get you the basics, turbo, oil lines, manifold, downpipe. you will need a new fuel pump and intercooler. you had larger injectors installed? if they actually are 370cc injectors, they are possibly late model 300zx injectors.

Will a fuel pump out of a Z32 Turbo work? I can get the BOV for 10 bucks off a DSM. What kind of intercooler would you suggest that is cheap. Ive heard of Spearco units being reasonable and well-made. How much do those big GTR cores cost? Also what size turbo would be effective (Td04?)

a 300zx fuel pump will work, but most people reccomend the walbro fuel pump. you got me on the the rest of the stuff. hehe. that will be a learning experience for me as well.

You could probably peice a kit together for that much (used items from ebay)....just depends how handy you are at retro-fitting and jerry-rigging  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
