  1. trying to find but i cant went to the tire shop the guy was stumped then went to another tire shop same thing. Will 225 55 15s fit under the factory 280zx with a wide body kit? the rims im going to run are a 15x9.5 watanabe
  2. yea i just found that out too ive been up reading all night lol dont tell the wife but it looks like i would have to go with twin t4s for that to work im thinking i would be better off putting a larger deisel turbo on there it sounds stupid but im also thinking (could be lack of sleep) that i would like the turbo to spool around 2000-2500 rpm. i realize this will give me a shorter boost but it would also let me get off the line without crazy spinning does anyone have any good sights for putting deisel turbos on gas engines? or are there any good books you all would reccomend?
  3. i ordered the book today thanks alot guys from what im seeing im thinking of a single t4 turbo 60 trim but i will do some more research
  4. ok now im really confused because i was told for best results i need to build my engine around the turbo, diffo ratio etc etc. the compression will be 9-1 or lower like mabey 8-1 area the cam i have no friggin clue because he wants me to build around the turbo is this not true is it better to build then get the turbo orwhat because this guy seemed to know his ♥♥♥♥ now you all got me wondering if he is full of it. anyway im thinking some really high flowing heads and a mild cam i dont think i could go heavy if boosed correct? the bottom end will be built up strong
  5. so it sound like a single turbo will be the best route to go for me now what would you all reccomend for the single. Now am i mistaken what thinking that the stroke will change the way the boost hits? talking to my engine builder he said the 383 stroker is amazing with boost. i understand how the turbo itself works but i guess the sizing and picking of the turbo is where i get lost (reading can get very confusing with add my mind wonders really bad and i have to read it like 4-5 times befor it even starts to sink in) ive been told a single t-4 60 trim would be good then others would tell me dont do that go holset i just want to get alot of oppinions befor i start you know to learn off others mistakes
  6. ive been doing alot of reading the last couple days about turbos. I did a search but couldnt find what i needed.i am building a sbc350 to a 383 to build it to optimal i have to decide what turbo to run with i thought about twins then i thought about compound now im seeing sequential and im way over my head basically im going for weekend warrior/ 1/4 mile track car. i would like to get under 10.9 (remember im in colorado high altitude) your suggestions are greatly appreciated
