well i have decided that i am going to turbo my 95' rather than do a swap.  in the mean time while i am saving up for my turbo(around a year) what upgrades should i do to get my motor ready for a turbo application?

how many PSI u wanna run... your stock block can take 6-8 safely......
if u want more then better upgrade the whole internal...

a fuel pump is nessecary no matter what.  a 300zx one will do fine.  if you wanna run high boost (11psi+) i suggest a gasket cap.  and if you really wanna push it pistons connecting rods crankshaft injectors downpipe etc etc...

yeah the fuel pump and management system is needed but i believe it comes in some kits

*drifterx* · 11-14-2001, 08:38 PM

ohhh yeah save up extra money for the unexpected problems........ many people run into the need for extra cash during a turbo install.......

new ECU
turbo timer, blowoff valve, front mount intercooler?

i know you have to do the fuel system, fuel pump, injector etc.  and i am planning on an ecu in the near future.  anything else besides fule upgrades?

u could go ahead n get ur turbo spec exhaust towards the end, but doesn't the ecu work w/ what u currently have? i don't know...
