Yeah, be sure to put mesh covers on your intake so that you don't suck up small children and whatnot.

The pic is a bit deceptive. The turbo's actually utilize a 3" downpipe and it does fit with about .25" of clearance on all sides. I will finish the downpipes this weekend and post pics.

Those turbos should spool up pretty well because the turbine side looks to be pretty small in comparison to the compressor housings.

Amazing work as always, very clean and well thought out.

woken up from the dead.anyhow, as for the question: the 260z had an inline 6 in there, so installing an RB is easier than the s chasis.

eww zombie thread *gets out the old 12 gauge*

hmm what about like mounts driveshaft oil pan if 25 or 26 obdII

See I was looking at rb20ing my 280zx and basically I think it requires the 300zr or whatever x member and oil pan.

either way now Im looking for the infamous LD28 crank to stroke the bish. + late zxs have the t-5 transmission ithink.
