I got a quick question..I just wanna make sure that you can use a turbo from the 300zx onto a civic right??

brtecson

of course you could

which year 300zx are you talkin?

Kai

Yes, you could. It is going to be pretty damn hard, so hard I wouldn't bother.

Do you know what model it is?

Redlinerz

I have no clue of the year...it was in a junkyard and I was going to take the turbo from it..kai why you say it is gonna be hard..brtecson how would I go about doing it...just mount it as a rgular turbo right? there isn't any special mods i need to do or anything right?

Any turbo 'could' be used, the differences are in the mounting flanges and downpipe flanges, which means if you use an oddball turbo, you're looking at a custom manifold and/or downpipe.

also unless uve got a custom header u have to worry about if its gonna fit against the radiator, and not hit the bottom crossmember once installed, space problems can become an issue

Isn't the 300ZX a 6 cylinder? I bet that turbo is going to be too huge for a Civic engine to spool up.

Kai

It is a 6 cylinder, yes. Some stock turbos are pretty small though.:dunno:

Turbo 300zx's were twin turbo.

Kai

the 84-89 body turbos where single, 90-96 turbos where twin.
