if you get a 300zx same year, same engine, could you use the turbo in the max? just bringing it up because of the locked one that i read.

those inline 6 turbo diesel, 4 wheel tow trucks use the same size turbo as the z31

Hell for that matter, call up NASA. They're turbo impellers are machined one piece titanium. I know they can empty an olypic size swimming pool in about 30 seconds or so. That ought to get ya goin once it spools up (FYI liquid nitrogen will help it spool a bit faster than your typical premium unleaded).

from the same year no, unless its 89.... if you have a vg max you can swap the turbo parts like injectors, manifold, turbo, and oil lines from the 84-89 300zx's but you would need to get your ecu programmed by JWT and fabricate charge piping and a downpipe... you could also also swap in the whole motor with a fwd tranny and fabricate a downpipe....

they only way to bling in a max is to paint your stock wheels black.

yeah, those NASA one's are pretty cool. they put spin up to 1 million rpm and threw out tons of air but i can't remember how much. the one i saw was like.. no bigger than your arm or smaller even.

you will need more than just the turbo. you also need to get the 300 injectors and then get the fuel map on your ecu reprogrammed to compensate for increased fuel demand at boost pressures. Good luck. Might also want to consider a one stage colder plug.

not necessarily true....you can run low boost without upgraded ECU, injectors, etc.....a simple FMU and boost metered ignition will do fine!!

well i would say injectors are not 100% necessary..but with the stock injectors..it's hit or miss. u might have a injector fail during a WOT run and boom...cooked motor...so for good insurance use at least new/rebuild/reman injectors if not running the Z31/Z32 injectors.
