In all honesty I would start with all maintenance and fixing any leaks/issues before you go with bigger turbos.

For Instance in a similar order to this, after maintenance is done and car is running great!

Single pop intake w/ velocity stack
catback
ecu upgrade
test pipes
intercoolers and piping
clutch/flywheel aswell as stuff like rear main, throwout bearing while your in there might aswell, and downpipes all at the same time...
from there its kinda up to you on where you wanna go, be unique ;P

check out everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-z32-t508376.html if you haven't already that will give you a good starting point, making sure everything is operating together is step #1 and most crucial!

[Slizz]

This is my full list for my car this year! Not including alot of diag time on leaks and issues like that but my injectors s*** out on me so I'm upgrading a few things to bump up the power a little but not going all out just yet. all the top stuff is stuff I might do before getting it running again.

Just to give ya an idea ? Idk Haha good luck with build!

yeah but it has a bad seal on passanger side turbo so i dont want to put a oem one in their just to get it running right and spend 1500$ in labor alone plus like 800$ just for one turbo so i want to get it done and over with now

[Slizz]

Have you looked into jwt sport 500's? They are a direct replacement with like 500-550 whp capability's.

Whats your overall goal?

[Jayjay228]

i dont have a goal right now im open to everything i just know i want the best/biggest so i wanted the msp manifold 2.5in piping all around and the biggest turbo i can bolt right on i wont ever get rid of this car so i wont to go big now! go hard or go home and i dont have a home lol

[Slizz]

Ok, well I would do all your basic breather mods to get the most out of turbos, but stock internals s*** out at around 600whp... so dont go ape s*** on boost ;P

[Jayjay228]

i wont i promise lol any suggestions for my list? or anything like that? and what rwhp are you pushing with your mods?

[Slizz]

Im hoping for around 400-450 on stock turbos and 15lbs of boost but currently if i flintstone it i could get about 1whp ;P

Im in the same boat as you were with the injector deal but I'm doing all new wiring harness's full 3" exhaust 740cc injectors and gonna run stock boost haha until i can afford clutch/flywheel, i guess they start slipping at about 350-400 range somewhere in there.

Oil cooler, get a thermostatic switch i beleive is what its called? read about z1's kit, you dont wanna be running too cold of oil could do bad damage.

ashspec piping are pretty much spot on for big power maybe look into the piping kits on specialtyz(their a little cheaper then on ashspecs actuall site but have less options then on ashpecs site)? They have the ashplanar inlet pipe kit which is from air filters to turbo, then the charge pipe set which if i'm not mistaken is from turbo outlet to ic's then to tb's so thats the 2 kits for full intake piping kit

z1 also has a set of intercoolers i personally like from reading about them, their the b.a smic set?

Thats about all I got haha, honestly tho, I am pretty green when it comes to 300zx's I've only had my car for 5-6 months haha but like you, I love them, and I am 100% dedicated to my car! So I will stick by her till the end ;P

Just trying to brain storm a little with ya!

[Jayjay228]

Hey thanks I appreciate it I never knew their was separate pipes to upgrade I thought they came all together man my bill for labor is going to be expensive if I had a garage I would probably attempt to do turbos but not on the street lol plus I want to make sure it's done right so I rather take it to the shop . And what issues are you having with injectors?

[Slizz]

They ohm out all over the place lol, got a couple that are good, 2 the connectors are broken, and all of them are ohming out at 18.5ish to 250ish and 2 are completely open haha

Luckily my career is automotive mechanic so i work for a dealership and have 2 lifts i can use whenever i need so i dont gotta worry about labor lucky me ;P

[Jayjay228]

Dang your lucky dude is charging me 1500 just to swap turbos lol but good look on your z

[Slizz]

Dang your lucky dude is charging me 1500 just to swap turbos lol but good look on your z

Labor time on swapping turbo's engine in is 15 hrs, here you'd be paying 105/hr haha

i do all my labor + i only pay 55/hr for body shop work so i get a huge discount their too, its a good trade to take on if you like working on cars, lots of benefits but you cant make much money, I'm 20 only clearing about 28-32k a year but it will take me 5+ years to get to master tech which then I'll only make about 40k a year if i have a good year haha so its kinda dead end.

n thanks same to you!

[Jayjay228]

how much a hr? do you make and hey thats a perk im a jeweler/ construction worker trying to fit in where i can get in . but wow that is awesome lol ima see if he can work on the price since im getting a new bumper put on timing belt and ic piping put on all in one shot might take off my wing to idk yet

[Slizz]

If its a small shop they will definately work with you if they know your gonna spend big bucks, right now 14/hr salary 17/hr flag, master tech is like 20-22 for hyundai

[Jayjay228]

I just called innovative tuning they said for turbos, ic's & timing belt 25 hrs they charge about 95 a hr they said they can do it for 20 hrs so 2000 $ plus tax

[Slizz]

thats not bad
