Twin Turbo update....

just thought i should keep yall informed that the twin turbo project is still alive i currently changed turbos from the 2 T3/T4 to 2 T2 or T25 ill post up pics later and maybee someone can identify here. got some 420(i think) supra injectors currently making rails and fabbing the new turbo setup. i think ill stop by JWT since theyre literally a hop skip and a jump from where i live and see what they have to offer. until then ill holla...

Good idea going with something smaller on the turbos. Also remember there are TONS of stock application turbos (from various 4 cyls) that are high quality and would be perfect for a 3.0 TT. Most of them you could get very cheap.

nothing i sell them on ebay every once in a while i havent had any complaints. i get the ones i sell from my local wrecker, i dunno if its what your looking for it has an ex of .48 and a compressor of .42 unless i find one from a 300zx then itl be a comp of .46 it comes with all the lines no shaft play(except for that lil wiggle it has for it having no oil) other than that ill clean them up real nice and slang them.

i would post my feedback on ebay but have no clue of how to do it...

no catch just good prices.

Just curious your the t3s you had were off a z31 right? What did you get the t25s off of. I usually get mine off a saab or the old chrysler 2.2 becuase of water cooled also. I got a guy from a local z club who has a set off of a z32 which im thinking about. Picking up just to have around.

i got my t25's off of 90's saab 900. they work really well but i think the wastegates are set at like no psi because as soon as i hit boost it drops because they open, i think it was speced with the saab apc (automatedperformance control<--or something like that) working on it tho tryed cloing and adjusting the wastegates all the way and nothing so i think that ima go with a hopefully HKS unit or 2 gt35r wastegates. the 2 z32 twin turbo turbos will work well as it is the same literage. as for the t-3's i got them from the earlier 80's saab 900, good luck on the project.

the earlier gen maximas came with n/a z31 300zx motors it was the same ish. only thing that is different is the trannys and intake manifolds.

from years 80-89 all maximas came with the came motors that they put in to Z's i.e. l24 was in the 240z and the vg30e was in the 300zx, 200sx, M30, Pathfinder and in the Maxima, motor was no problem to fit it just was the twin turbo fitment. had to custom make manifolds with nissan's help and downpipes with forum member help from both here and 88hybrid.com (a z31 forum, those dudes know wheir vg30 ish)

gonna go with nistune to tune just gota get it. should have it in a coupple months, prolly by the next nissan meet.

the hks units are a pita to adjust, just run a mbc if you are getting the hks acutators for adjustibilty.

I'm loving your setup man, everything looks great. I like your turbo intake airbox even though I think in the interest of cleanliness you should have routed it through a vent in the fender, but its still cool. Keep us updated, and I am also wondering how much all this has set you back!
