You should ditch the stock turbo and go with a turbo from a S13 CA18DET. They are super cheap. As for the gasket, I would go to one of the NICO sponsors and order it. Midway is my favorite.

BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A S12 SECTION!!!

The 240 section is completely the WRONG place to put this, and the other forums don't get enough traffic to make it worth it.

240 envy?

Dont worry, the S12 may be often forgotten, but it is still loved.

I actually sold my S13 so I could get an S12. I didn't really want a VG model, but the body was in such great shape I couldn't refuse.

Hahahaha

If I found a clean S30, I would sell both my 240s for it.

What's even funnier, I sold my S13 to Bart. That's my old Silvia front end he's sporting on his 'vert.

turbo is not a stock turbo. the exhaust pipe dont even fit the turbo the people that worked on it put som jb weld as the gasket and didnt seal and the bolt pattern is not the same so who ever worked on this car before needs to get away from cars altoghether...

I would definitely sell my soul, and throw in the S13, to the devil for a no-rust S30.

Post by **numbnuts240** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:46 am

he hasn't found it yet i'd get rid of the s14 without batting an eye lid if i found a running, rust-free s30 around here for a reasonable price .

I would just go get a cheap elbow from ebay and get a custom down pipe made at your local shop. In the meantime, you can run open for a while and get that massive sound, lol. Cops will love you to death.

if it's not the stock turbo...consider yourself lucky for the upgrade.

is it still on the stock exhaust mani?

sounds kinda like someone half assed a T25 on it....

if it's the stock manifold, the normal gasket will work.

Post by **Mr1der** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:10 pm

god I hate the SE wheels...

what size are they? 15 as well?

Post by **Dattebayo** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 3:24 pm

Yep, 15's. Pretty much the same a non-turbo Z31 wheels I think.

I have not found a pair that look good on them. 5 lug sucks!

Post by **noob2nissan-s12** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 5:56 am

i will do that.. also i did some reaserch for the turbo and its an airresearch turbo "GARRET" wich came in a 1980's volvo 740 .48 diameter turbine. i know where i can get my hands on a few of those guys so im headed there now see if i can find a dump pipe fir this thing... if not a new t3 turbo....

Post by **Dattebayo** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 7:04 am

Regardless if wether it is a 1.8 or a 2.0 liter displacement motor, a T3 is not a good choice for you. I would not go above a T28 unless you have many supporting modifications, including a custom intake manifold and nice fuel system.

Basically, if you throw a T3 on there, you risk having a ****ty tune with loads of lag and lots of problems. Don't do it.
