HAHAHAHA...it's 2am, and I have had more than enough to render anything I say now as errant by default. So I can't in good faith comment. This discussion brings to mind a thread me and MATTZ went head to head in over basic chem 101. The manufacturers statement seems to suggest that the turbo is rather smaaallll, ...so in light of the original thread, would be unsuitable for a serious alternative to the current twin turbo arrangement as it will be in no way capable of pushing the same volume of air.
Lol seeking for advase thread turned into a massive argument. any way, We wanted to produce a single easy remove and bolt on manifold for the Z32 so: 1. We can have a wider range of turbos to choice from. 2. The most important is that we won't have to pull the whole engine out every times our turbos has problems. I got some photos Thanks for every one who supported, but the rear muffler setup won't be a good idea for every day drive. I think the only speace would be useful is the battery area. But if any one can post a photo the engine bay area of that single Z32 would be great help.
Well I don't know quite enough about car turbos to really comment on the spool rate vs distance argument, but you two know your stuff so i'll support you! I've only had experiance with traditional powerstation turbines... They don't really run at different speeds anyway...
Mmm. Front mounted turbo setup such as this (turbo would be behind driver side headlight where current intake piping is): +Modified intake manifold (single throttle body in the middle and front of plenum or similar +FMIC. +Electric radiator fan (if the shroud is in the way still) If there isn't enough room where the old intake piping was, perhaps you could use dual side mounted radiators and fit the turbo behind where the old radiator and shroud setup was. I really don't see the point though, at least, not for what it would cost to setup. Custom manifolds and plenum would be pretty expensive unless you are handy with a welder or know someone who is, or you are planning to make a run of them, and sell them. :zlove: Disclaimer: I am really tired and can't really think straight right now, or concentrate, so if I'm missing something obvious, blame that.
