Hey guys, honestly not sure if this belongs in technical or non technical section since it's really more of a theoretical discussion. Please feel free to move if needed. The title may be a little vague but I've just finished my first rebuild and I'm already anxious to go find a junkyard Z and make a Z deserving of Godzilla status! My thoughts are, assuming you have the appropriate supporting upgrades, two huge turbos (something crazy like gen 2 GTX 3071) will slingshot a Z once the 10 second turbo lag plays out... I've heard of using a small shot of N2O to get the turbos spooling up quicker (again, assuming you have the correct piston ring gaps, ect). Finally, finish off with a bit of water/methonal injection to keep everything cool! A stand alone ecu could allow one to program a 50 shot of nitrous upon full throttle, and at a specific rpm activate the water/methonal injection. Does anyone see any flaws in this concept?
Couple of small issues I see. 1500kgs of car and getting that power to the ground. We have all got dreams and that is why we have 300zxs. You can certainly spend a lot of money on these cars and find that get passed by a modified Series 1 Ford Escort fitted with a LS3. In my opinion the Z32 is a great sports car but it will never be a R32.
The best of luck to you sir, You’ll be dropping 30+k here minimum. You shouldn’t need the wmi if your running e85 unless your wanting to squeeze everything you can out. Yes you can use NOS but in most situations where you could “prove” the cars worth they don’t allow NOS or at least that’s their public disclaimer
Thanks for the replies guys! I really was just having a theoretical thought. I'm just finishing up step 1 of my Z32 build (booked with my tuner next week). I'll have to start a build thread to list out all the goodies, but she's been built to have some fun I guess that's true about the methonal injection since the larger turbos would flow more air at lower psi's hence eliminating the heat issues from running high psi's. So the air temps shouldnt get too crazy in that case. As for time and money, I was fortunate enough to be able to retire last year (I just turned 34 yesterday) and have used fun car projects as my hobby now. I'm lucky enough to have a full garage with every tool you could need mostly accumulated over the years. I've always loved the Z32 and have owned 3 but this was the first one that that I had the time and money to build it right. I'll start a thread when I get to my laptop. The short version pictured below
I'm not 100%, but I believe a Haltech ecu can adjust "boost by gear", so I would keep low boost in low gears and higher boost in higher gears to compensate. I also really like some of the widebody Zs out there which could allow you to put a bit more rubber on the road as well
It a fantastic idea that I support 100% this video touches on your idea, of using nos to spool big turbos off the line, to give an idea of the size it more like twin gtx3582r Ideally you would use a transbraked auto Th400 leaving the line with 30psi, the engine would be a BDE bed plate with counterbalanced crank, pistons and rods, heads would be LARGE, intake manifold would be custom as its a restriction over 7000rpm, a mid runner design with 2 DBW throttle bodies pointing at head light holes, ecu would be haltech 2500t If staying 2wd then a traditional 4 link rear end to keep camber at zero. 4wd drive would be to add an axle tube to the bed plate and use a M35 front diff, or vh41 front diff (this has the same r230 ratio) tomei also makes a front diff ratio the same as the r230 for the GTR front diff, th400 are avalible with a GTR/stagea tranfer case, the trans tunnel would be GTR or custom, sump would be dry. Budget would be 100 large out come would be 7s power would be 1500ish. Most of these parts are off the shelf.
