Single Turbo Z32?

[bardabe]

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.

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

[bardabe]

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.

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 ??

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,.

ahhh I see how much are you looking to spend??

[bardabe]

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:

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]

Single.

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

[bardabe]

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

[lazysk8er2]

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.
