240Z Turbo Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Well, finished the rear turbo header today and did a fit up in the car. I am pissed because I accidently put a slight angle on the turbo which makes the front of the turbo angle down. No big deal, but I wanted it level. I guess i'm not much of an engineer! Anyway, alot more room than I though with it all done and with the motor scoot back 1" it clears the steering rod by a mile. I bet making the downpipes and doing the external wastegate tube will be just as exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Wow, that fits in there great! Really a pretty setup, thats going to be awesome. So how will that work, both turo's Y'ed into the intercooler feeding into a turbo manifold (or are you making a intake manifold too?). I'm impressed, I wanna be like you when I grow up.. (ya I know, fat chance of me growing up...) Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 james, thats pretty incrediable! i am impressed i have plans notes and drawings of my idea of a twin turbo 240zturbo. it mocks the rb26dett. i have a few questions.. wastegate intergration? how is that gunna work? where ya gunna put your air filters/intercooler? anyways i think it looks great, and you've pretty good welder! i like the turbo compressor inlet facing downward that way you can have a more smooth piping to your air filter considering it is the back turbo furthest from the outside air... my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z Turbo Posted June 28, 2001 Author Share Posted June 28, 2001 I thought about making a custom intake and then realized I had already made one! Anyway, the back of the turbine housings have 2 holes, wastegate and exhaust. I am going to run both wastegate tubes from the turbo's into 1 single tube that meets at the Racegate Wastegate. This will also serve as a balance tube between the turbo's. Once the charge leaves the turbo's I will immediately join them into 1 single 2.5" tube to the intercooler and from the intercooler a single 3" tube to the TB. Here is a pic of how I will merge my 2 turbo's into 1 single 2.5" pipe. Of course mine is not a skyline, but the concept is just the same!
