PLATA Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 If you don't mind telling,,,,,, what did you get for the Z? Wondering if you helped the market prices or if you kept them the same... Let's put it this way, I was not selling it, got a very good coin for it, but to build a duplicate what I got will be a bit off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Hey Lee, this is a little off topic, but I did some research for you. So you'll end up using the Turbo stuff from the DET motor (Turbo/manifold, crossover pipe that has the factory blow off valve), there are provisions for the oil drain, feed, and coolant hoses, but they are either blocked off, or need to be drilled and tapped (i've read that some blocks have it capped off, and some need to be drilled and tapped for it). You'll need also need the ECU and MAF sensor (the injectors are the same size). So it's virtually plug and play. There's no wiring involved, you just unplug the stock ECU, and MAF, and replaced with the turbo versions. So everything you do is actually on the mechanical side of it all. You're compression is a bit higher (I've read two separate sources saying 9.5, and 10:1), but everyone seems to agree that you can run that same setup on 6-8 PSI, on the stock intercooler, and people say as high as 10-11 with a good fuel pump, and front mount intercooler. CX Racing makes a really nice intercooler, and I can source a Walbro 255 fuel pump. Edited September 3, 2015 by ihiryu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLATA Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Are they epsilons? uuppss, I thought you ID the wheels, don't know the brand but there are similars out there, if any on forum wants to chime in that will be welcome, the issue I have is that this sedan comes with a four lug as in the picture from the car in Down Under.
