slownrusty Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 An online first.....only at Hybridz (although I will share with our neigbs at zcar.com) I thought I would start a new thread as soooo many people ask about sidedrafts and turbos. Well I knew I had an "Original" condition perfect Cartech brochure and came across it last night when going through some stuff in the basement. Thankfully the ex- did not take that box...breath a sigh of relief! Proof that I was a car nut, I wrote away to Corky and got this brochure after seeing an ad. in an old Road and Track...think 1988 when I was 17 years old! Yup been in love with Turbo technology and Datsun Zs that long. Anyway you guys will find this interesting...I also asked Corky to include print-outs of prices (see below) and also include a brochure on his turbo'd BMW 635CSI project, his turbo'd 1983 Supra 5MGE project AND the upgrades he had for the newly launched Mazda RX7 Turbo...all which I still have...LOL.. I tried scanning in the price list for the Zs but it was done on a (LOL) dot-matrix printer and is fading badly, so the scans are too light to read... Without further-a-do: Cartech Price List -Dec 5th 1988- 1) Complete Intercooled Turbo System gives 285hp at 9psi and up to 340hp at 15psi on a L26 (forged pistons recommended for 15psi). 400hp available on a L28. Price: $4200 2) Water cooled section for turbo. Price: $300 3) Mandrel 2.5" exhaust. Price: $285 4) Electronic Boost Controller. Price: $570 Cost to install items 1-4 at Cartech's Shop: $1600 Turbo system with blow through Mikunis and no intercooler. Price: $3385 Turbo system with blow through Holley 4bl and no intercooler. Price: $2120 (Both safe to 8psi) There are 6pages of pricing I have that incl. Suspension packages, Flywheels, oil coolers etc etc... Note the performance figures and the description of the "Compressor By-Pass Valve" and the comparissons to Porsche and the BMW 745i. Enjoy!

PUSHER Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Is there any room to do this intercooler setup in a z? Has anyone done it? Seems like itd be a whole lot better then using an intercooler with tanks at both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks280zt Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 yea one has done it, he has a blue 240, his IC pipes are blue also, cant remember his name though, sry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 alot of ppl have fmics like that with top to bottom endtanks and same side inlet/outlets. its sorta common, just there pretty pricey. i think Chris on this site paid almost 500 for his and that was a killer deal. its a spearco i think, atleast his is i think. very clean install, but everything about his car was super sweet. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Large-FMIC-Turbo-Intercooler-31-x12-x3-One-Sided_W0QQitemZ8004380816QQcategoryZ33742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Not super high quality but im sure itd get the job done. I guess I never thought of setting up the intercooler like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 That is actually the most effective intercooler design, Not including water to air of course.. Wait, the one you posted a link to is a very poor design. Corky Bell's book, "Maximum Boost" explains that more, short tubes is more effeciant than few longer tubes.

Gollum Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Wait.. why would the one pusher posted have longer tubing than a convensional fmic? It seems ideal for the Z since the exhast & intake are on the same side right? Seems like it would be shorter length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 yea, you lost me to. long short tubes worse then lots of short tubes? Did you mean long skinny versus short fat diameter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
