i would like to see a pic of your plenum -- i am curious -- maybe NSR32 can answer this -- could you use a single throttle body from a maxima VG30 in combination with a remote mount STS turbo to boost a 90 300zx NA ??

It definitely wouldn't work out unless you do a custom lower plenum and that would definitely get messy. The Maxima has the SOHC VG so the heads are totally different.

As for the remote mount it actually wouldn't be too bad to keep the stock plenum setup. If you're going with a single turbo you could just run the intake piping up to the MAF and that would work out pretty well I believe.

thanks for the info -- i went to your site -- do you perform custome work -- or is it just your own projects ? I am looking for someone willing to step outside the box -- aka installing an STS remote turbo universal system -- no one is interested -- where are you located ?? thanks

At the moment I just have my own projects but sometime down the road I'd like to be able to do crazy kind of stuff, like an STS setup, on other people's cars. I'm in Kansas though so it'd be a bit of a drive from Illinois.

I actually have some family in Winfield and go there every now and then.

Time wise... its always very hard to tell when it comes to custom work. Any small things left out that need to be ordered and it takes extra time... that's why none of my projects are running right now.
