Big problem....No turbos

[3_Series]

Custom might be your only option.

Is it the turbo model, if not you might want to be careful boosting it. NA models generally have higher compression engines in them.

If it helps any it's a VG30E I want to make it a VG30ETT.

[RidinRails]

so buy the whole turbo motor....dont just turbo it.

[JN210]

So i assume that would be cheaper?

[KA-T_240]

did they even make TT z31s?

That is correct, unless it is a 7/89, that would make it a 1990

[JN210]

well what's mine then? all i know is its a 89 300ZX N/A

[z31]

does it have pop up head lites?

Ok so ive looked just about everywhere i can for a turbo or two for my 89 300ZX but can't find one. Does anyone know where i could find a whole twin turbo kit for it?Is it a z31 (84-89) or is it a z32 (90-96) This would be very helpful. There is no "turbo kit". for these cars.

It's a Z31. You could use factory parts to make it a stock style setup.

[KA-T_240]

^what he said. you could of corse do a custom setup, but that would cost a lot fo $$$$$.

[z31]

You'r in luck, I am the master of the z31.

Yes, you are the person to talk to about them.

[JN210]

so how would this "custom" setup work?

You'd need everything from a TT ECU, exhuast manifolds, oil feed lines, intercooler with piping etc etc etc...Trust me buddy, your best bet is to just drive it the way that it is, and later on down the road, buy something better...Unless you still want to talk about dropping in an SR20 or maybe, if it fits, an RB26...granted that engine would cost as much as your entire car...

And Z31, it IS a Z31...89 NA Z31...AUTOMATIC if I may add...

[KA-T_240]

an RB would probably work.

Have you thought about the vg30dett out of a z32?

[bubba]

IMO i'd do a full engine swap to a stock turbo one, it'd be safer and more reliable that way. I know people that have done NA -> TII swaps in FC's and they turned out great.

The Z32 engine is huge compared to the Z31 engine that's in there. There would be so many clearance issues. That would be like me trying to put a 6G72TT in the venge...Just to big. I say RB26 All the way...
