hey hey to all!! i am new to the site and wanted to say hi. mostly why i decieded to check out this forum, i'm doing some research on the conversion of a n/a to mighty twin turbs for my z32.

now, i as thinking i could just get some kind of bolt on turbo kit. but from what i've been told, and it makes sense...but that just wouldn't really work, as the car was either designed with the n/a or TT with parts and specifications according to that vehical.

ok, so what info i've gathered is i need a front clip of a tt. ok, but is that the only way to go? what if i found a VG30DETT and whatever else i could and just threw that under the hood? or would i basically be doing the same thing anyway with the clip because of all the parts and cost that i'd be needing and spending?

thanks to all for responding and helping out!! -jodin

this has been covered alot, search dude!!

but im not understanding your question... you said you understood that it would be best to get a front clip... but then you said couldnt i get a vg30dett and gather the rest and wouldnt it be the same.... a front clip includes the engine, transmission, ecu, turbo's and manifolds, and i think the sidemount intercoolers for the turbos, if you dont get a front clip, then you would just be doing the same thing just it would take longer...and possibly cost more money

Welcome to NICO!

Always good to have another Z32 owner on board

Front clip is the way to go, it will be much cheaper than buying everything individually.

Post up some pics of your car and make sure to search around, there's a ton of good info on here and lots of good companies to get parts and such from that are associated with NICO.
