throwing around ideas for turbos on this car im tearing down. i had a holset on my old ford ranger turbo and made 400hp easy and the turbo was a rock, couldnt kill it. no i know the gt30r fits because i have them on my other z, but will the holset fit? i have been looking into it and the hx35w which i had on my ranger is too big,but this other version is smaller, approx the size of a 30r so i have read. thoughts, insight, complaints, shoot?

Personally I love the idea! But I've heard a lot do complaints about fitment.... Finding room mostly.

yeah i figured id have to tig up some headers to make them fit, although i have never heard of anyone using them on a z32, i know a few guys who have the hx35 on their z31's and love them. maybe ill just use the vg cima single turbo kit and a big t88 or something!

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing its more of a fitment issue than anything else. It might require a little cutting of the frame rails or shock towers to get it squeezed in. The stock TT manifolds are already pretty small and they just barely fit
