Do you have the money to get the twin turbo? I don't even think that you could debate about it. But if you're just going to blow thousands of dollars on a kit and rims, instead of helping out the VG30DETT, well, I don't know.

well im have one money holding for the mods.
and one for the car so they are sperate
casue im selling my 1987 turbo right now
1990 twin turbo isnt as much as you think

second the 240sx year i would buy is as much as a z(my friend got a 240)
third 300zx engine is so sweet 300 hp for a v6

with twin turboes....dont forget it is heavy as hell!.....Also, TypeIII said it, it is alot harder to build on the 300zx, than say a 240....If you really want a 300, i dont even think you have a choice but to get the TT....thats just me though.

Peace:D

well my friends have been telling me to geta tt
i know that theres not much room to work
but this car i just like it
but if im going to do any mods. to my engine its will be at the end.

why "at the end" ...if your going to be building a car..do the motor and suspension first..then all the other shit..

You'll get a hell of a lot more respect that way

get the twin turbo man, it would cost too much to make the n/a Z reliably (unless money is no object to you). with the twin turbo u can toss in aroun $1,200-400 or so and hit high 12's lower with weight reduction, slicks, etc.

as for kits i would recomend bomex kit ($1,164) or veilside (bit more expensive but worth it). wings west i heard is ok but a pain in the ass to work on and have everything fit right.

the Z isnt that damn heavy IMO. it (turbo 3,517) only weighs about 100lbs more than the supra (3,415. if u wanna talk about heavy look at the vr-4 3kgt. that shit weighs like 3,800 or around there w/ the awd. and on top of that both the supra and vr-4 came out the dealers @12 psi (93 and up?) and the z only @9psi stock. thats what i think put the z at a bit of a disadvantage when the boost levels were upped on the other 2.

in the end, my thoughts are that the z is an all around good car. good power, good looks, hmm.....kinda reminds me of myself, lol, j/p. but seriously try for the Twin Turbo Z. the 240sx isnt worth it w/o the sr swap.

N E Wayz, good luck man, peace

sometime it dissapoints me to see the z get no respect
anyways the reason im thinking not for the engine cause i wont be race much right now
later i will
but hey i think im getting a tt.
anyways how much extra power would i get if i changed my psi?

[Ren-Tech]

if your not gonna be racing much just get a cat-back and ecu. that should give you almost 370 hp @13psi. someone tell me if i'm wrong cause i forgot wether the JWT puts ur boost level that high exactly. or just an ecu, its all up to you. peace

[psrprelude]

The TT is a good car, my friend has one, but make sure it doesn't have hella high miles on it. Things start to go after a while and that is one of the most expensive cars to fix. But yeah, its got a ton more power than a NA.

thats much
hmm wats the price tag on it
hey wat mile should i look at
under 100 k?
and do u have to check the oil more since its a tt.
and the n/a z is like 225 hp and the tt is like 300 right?

[Ren-Tech]

well the JWT ecu is about $650 and adds an estimated 60hp.
try to look for anything under 60k miles if you can. i got mine for $17k ('93, 39k miles, auto). check the mufflers, oil, etc. because its a turbo car. basically just get it checked out by a mechanic just to make sure everything is running well and theres no leaks and what not.

heres a site that should help u with some solutions to normal prob.'s and basic information on the car, hope it helps, peace
