man..i can save you hundreds of dollars.
You said you already have the t3 turbo already right? Thats all you need, nothing else.
Put the t3 under your hood somewhere, just stick it somewhere, thats all.
Now you have to be careful how you word your sentences for the rest of your life. Tell people that you got a turbo under the hood. Don't tell people it's turbocharged.
Now you'll definitely get alot of people asking for pics, When they ask for pics of that turbo under your hood, BAM..bust it out on them. You ain't lying, you really got a turbo under the hood.
Chances are with a 'turbo under the hood' you could be the next maxima of the month.

man, im gonna get flamed n00b style on this one heh. but i have came up with a few simple piping layouts that i will be working with. note this is just just the piping, i would also think 300z injecotrs/fuel pump, jwt tuned ecu etc. and i came up with these for the ve...soo......
i will be working with #3, using an aftermarket ypipe cut down and weld on a t3 flange.

hey well its a start, but a few observances on my part....
#1 looks like it will most likely not clear the firewall for the second turbo on the rear bank
#2 looks like it'll have hood clearance issues
#3 looks to have some undercar clearance issues
but hey its a start!!

heh yeah, it doesnt look to clear the firewall, when the piping is made it will be made to go horizontal from the trubo, not going up, heh, i just couldnt really draw it like that cause you wouldnt be able to see it. but yeah.....did that make any sense? i expect to turbo to be right infront of the firewall. just hope it doesnt hit against it at times.
oh yeah, and the under hood issues....well i guess i was kinda designing from my vg, havnt gotten a close look at a ve, ill make room

Number 3 looks pretty good except mount the turbo in the front. With all that extra piping you're gonna have a lot of lag. Also it would be easier to work an intercooler into the system. Nice drawings, btw.
PS: RRE has killer prices on intercoolers and DIY stuff..

thanks, but i dont think i totally understand, what do you mean i should put it in the front, i dont think there should be a problem with lag if i have the exhaust from both manifolds flowing to the turbo, it should spool nicely....but yea, i dont think i understand
edit: new drawing comming soon.

I think Mike is saying with all that extra pipiing it'll take longer for the "charge" to reach the TB and "make power", when you design the charge piping it should be as short as possible with little bends.

btw what engine do you have? ve or vg
What's this?? A constructive thread about turboing the Max?!?!? My brain can't handle this! I will attempt to return this thread to normal:

not totally sure though, but i still think it would be much different.

thats the beauty of the "crossover pipe"....IMO thats one of the advantages of turboing the VG....the parts are already available(off the Z31), both manifolds and crossover can be had for less than $200!

true, but you still have to deal with wiring issues...turboing the current VG in our Maxs to me seems much easier and the 9:1 should be good for boost into the mid/high teens. IMO, the z31-t engine swap is just more unecessary trouble.

Those are neat pipe drawings. How do you make those?
Anyway, here is a big hint. 3-gen VEs and 4-gen VQs are very similar from a layout standpoint. So if you SeArCh what those guys are doing for turbo installs, you could make some really neat drawings. :P

400 for both turbos, 1000 for the piping and custom manifold. i still need a rising rate fpr, and fmu. I was thinking about snagging a 4th gen FMU (my buddy needs to upgrade). so right now it's at 2000 bucks. that's BEFORE clutch, fuel pump, and a bunch of other goodies. . .. i'm hoping to keep it under 3000. if you want a pair of small turbos, they're about 4-500 a pair on www.twinturbo.net you could split the pair with a buddy if you don't want to run a ton of boost.

1) Good luck w/ the oil drains
2) To get the turbos high enough probably means custom manifolds. That will blow your budget.

true, but also remember post '88 300zs used T25s and 1/4th mile times remained rather similar. and HP increased 5hp! I know it says a T3 is optimum, but low boost setups should be fine with a T25, you should be able to play around with the AR on it though I think...I'm not 100% but as long as you can get the AR to .84 you'll be fine!
