Re: Turbo kit, who would be SERIOUSLY interested??
I understand that I've seen the pics from when phast did it, but i'm curious if it would make it a little more roomy if I not only did that but cut out part of the bumper cover and molded it with the new spoiler whether it be the k staff or the flatt. lemme know what you think. I might have access to a guy who went to uti and loves doing **** aftermarket, so we'll see... as well as Big Valley Performance.

Re: Turbo kit, who would be SERIOUSLY interested??
Have you looked into a air/water intercooler? They keep the piping short which makes for less lag and less work the turbo needs to do...
and you are running small diamiter water lines to the nose, not 2+" boost pipes. Also I haven't looked to see if there is room on the SVX, but on my STi we made an radiator that had the endtanks on the side so the frontal area of the core was the same but it sat several inches lower in the car. Just ran the pipes over the radiator and into the intercooler that way. |

Re: Turbo kit, who would be SERIOUSLY interested??
I was reading the idea the other day about a similar setup to the 300zx TT. It having two smaller intercoolers on either side of the radiator. Is this possible with the SVX since we are dealing with a limited space.(although I don't think our engine bay is honestly that cramped.)
Another thing I keep thinking about is we have a similar layout to the nissan 300zx. So why is it they seem to have limited issues in getting a TT setup(being that some came stock...) and we're having a hard time with a single turbo? Is there a way to get a sequential turbo to work in our car?

You have the fundage... Any turbo setup is possible. Its finding the cost effective solution that has been the hurdle.

Re: Turbo kit, who would be SERIOUSLY interested??
i'm sure a sequential turbo would cost a lot more than two turbos...it would be longer as well..
however it would be really nice to have...a small turbo in front for low end boost and huge turbo at the back for all the high end power. if they were really that affordable, i'd drop one in my car - boost happy galore ~
