Challenger Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 So how does that header work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 so it's used? what turbos were used with it before? that 3 bolt setup is weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM-EXC Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 wow!!! how much did that set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 If you do not already have turbos, consider leaving the 3-bolt flanges and picking up 2 inexpensive GN turbos. 2 GN turbos can support more HP than you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I really like it! That should make some very big power! The nice thing about running 2 turbos is the manifold design is easier to make nice merged collectors in a short manifold set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oatmilk Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 RHD Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Oh that's crap, box it up and send it my way for disposal! j/k it looks awesome, That's about what I want to do for my car ...eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_82_ZXT Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Will it clear the steering shaft on a LHD Z? Or are you going RHD? Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rztmartini Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 it came with two small mitsubishi turbos. i looked it up and they are used on volvos... i got it from (you guessed it) RHD Japan for a little over $700! they have been putting it on sale and it kept getting cheaper and cheaper! so i jumped on it lol... i havent gotten it home yet but if it doesnt clear then i guess i will have to (twist my arm right?) RHD conversion. so all you turbo gurus...will these be small guys be up to the task of maybe...400 WHP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.bryant Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Wow it looks great! You could always donate it to a RHD doner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 That is a VERY cool piece and looks beautifully built. But I am 100% positive will not fit our LHD cars and even if it did...the plumbing for the turbos and intercooler would be pretty intense with everything on the left side. Converting the car to RHD would be a huge effort too? With Garrett making 460whp, Tim making 600+whp, Jeff P making 500+whp...there is alot to be had with a single efficient turbo set-up..just my opinion.

jp 280 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Make sure you post up heaps of pics of you RHD conversion, do a search on here for Trust or Greddy manifold, i know its there it was only about 6 months ago it was discussed, it is still a good price for the manifold considering you got the wastegate as well, i payed alot more for the single turbo version(brand new though). I have a few pictures of it mounted to an engine but not in a car, so if you want them send me an email and ill send them through to you.

rztmartini Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 i am not going the twin turbo route cause i think that the single turbo is not what i need, because i am building my daily driver with a single T3/T4...i was looking to replicate the Devil Z wangan monster! lol. well not exactly cause i do not want to deal with tripple carbs. i think it was a good deal cause i got the manifold, w/g, 2 turbos, oil lines, and extra flanges and gasgets.

JDMFairladyZX Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 ii was looking to replicate the Devil Z wangan monster! Me too lol, when I finally have lots of money haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rztmartini Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 check it out!!! you were right...the steering linkage wont clear the rear turbo without relocation/RHD conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 ooh... pretty. You COULD get a linkage to work...but it would be a LOT of work...and a bunch of U-joints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewievette Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Or you could fabricate an elbow to move the turbo up a little higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 how about turning the turbos around .. however this would make your exhaust pipe interesting.. So an elbow would your best bet .. if they fit under the manifold that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_V Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Id just move the steering shaft. Just use a bearing support or something. I may have to do that in my s13 with a twin turbo VQ30... ~Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
