try closer to 10k
would be easier to source an engine from a turbo-z & just put that in instead...

why would you want to turbo an already powerful N/A car? IMO turbos are over-rated
and by all accounts the car isnt that good, a friend of mine test drove one and ended up buying a mercedes benz cossie instead

Yeah, but a 350z will spank a Merc 190.
And it would produce more than 330bhp if was turbo'd, I reckon you'd get close to 400bhp. It is 280BHP as standard afterall.
Don't reckon the box or clutch would last long though.....

I'd never turbo a car that isn't meant to be, just asking for hassle/problems imo I reckon you'd be looking around 10k to do it too..

You're right, if its not designed for it its just a matter of time before it blows.

in my experience people believe that because a car has a turbo its gonna be 'rapid' R5 GTT is a prime example. yeah its fun to have the impact of boost when your driving, being in both of mikes Evos and a mates 300bhp pulsar have been the most exhillirating drives of my life. but when you get down to the nitty gritty of driving, more particularly track driving, balance is the key, and turbos upset balance. This is probably why you'll find the mclaren F1 uses a naturally aspirated BMW v12 iirc. not something i expect everyone, if anyone to agree on, just my poin of view

190 body shape. very pimping. the evo 2 style is most regularly shown in pics with wide arches and big fook off wing. classic 80/90s styling
