240Z Turbo Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Oh yea, it is a MONSTER This turbo only supports 900hp. It is for my next project car. I purchased an 87 rx7 and am swapping a Toyota 3RZ (2.7L Tacoma) motor into it. I also have my intercooler, 24x12x4.5 Garrett GT core. BTW, TimZ recieved his today as well. His L28 should be seeing 650hp@wheels with this new turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Niiiiice. James what is with the inlet shape? Doesn't look too optimal for flow, is it specifically made that way to work in conjunction with another piece? Shouldn't you drive the Z into the 10's before you start another project? Hehe.

240Z Turbo Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 James/Tim... specs? The turbo is a GT42R. It is a Garrett full ball-bearing unit. It is flanged for a t4 and has a 4" v-band discharge. The inlet is 5" and the compressor outlet is 3" v-band. The a/r on my turbo is 1.01 and 1.15 for Tim's. This version of the turbo flows 85lbs/min and will support 900hp. There is another version of this turbo sometimes referred to as the GT42RS that flows 95lbs/min. This turbo should outspool Tim's T64 even though it is a much larger turbo. The cost on this turbo is $1950 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So James does this mean you are leaving the Z? Or are you going to have both to play with? Sure hope you dont leave Z's behind. I am always looking forward to seeing what you are doing with it..

240Z Turbo Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I just ordered the remaining exhaust material to finish my new oval spintech exhaust system. The car is ready to run with the new powerglide once this is done. I want to run the car at the track and score some 10s timeslips. After that I plan to sell the car to finance the 3RZ powered RX7. I will do another Z when I can do the AWD RB26 swap. I just can't chunk down 5K to get the front clip that is required to do the swap. I can always get another 240Z for cheap. I am not worried about the fabrication involved, but I will need a shop to do that kind of swap. Although ScottieGNRX7 converted to the dark side of the force, I will not give in to the dark side!
