    i wish this was available last week :p

    have a mate selling a very large turbo from his single T 2j. would be perfect haha.
    why not get a super charger kit for the NA blokes, im yet to fiddle with mine..

    SC14 + NA + 8psi @ 1500RPM = win?

    You are using the entire DET exhaust setup by the sound of it. Unless someone has that setup two new manifolds plus a X over pipe would be required. So not so easy.

    Sounds like a good suggestion dude. Rip out the AC and place the SC14 where that was. Would get great throttle response and having the high compresison ratio would net big gains from a measly 8psi too. Plus NA diff gearing. Win. Don't give me ideas mate, ideas cost lost of money!! Lol.
    PS: All the best on the TT build!

    5K1TZX Its all never ending....

    Joe Grannas from the states ( as you all know ) in his red convertible did this with a clean and tidy install...pics are littered all over the web of the motor and videos of the car in action on the streets...I believe this car is a full blown drag car now so the engine setup may have changed...but this car pulled 544rwhp by memory and beat other zeds with the biggest JWT turbos. I believe this setup would be great for a dyno queen but for the streets it looks horible! I have a video of Joe doing a burnout, sitting on the brake in 1st and when changing to 2nd there was just too much lag and it bogged down. Boost hit at about 5 grand. It FLYs down a highway but in a controlled quarted mile drag any Z with a nicely tuned twin turbo setup would be a easily a few car lengths down the track before the Single would pickup and mumbo! This Z would have to been as quick as a stock Z until about 100-120kph according to his incar videos...but after that it flys.

    Thats the thing... we take for granted what we have in terms of a responsive turbo car. V6 3ltr torque with twin turbos is a good combo, upgrading those turbos is better than one big single. Thats for the street anyway. Id much rather have nearly 4000rpm of 300-350 rwkw, than 2000rpm of 400+rwkw. On a drag strip chasing seconds, different story. But a freeway on-ramp squirt or a twisty run or your odd wrx/skyline/m3/xr6t bashing on the street...

    Thats how i look at it anyway.

    It didn't even keep up with Z's with equivalent HP let alone those with the biggest turbos.
