hey guy's has anyone technical knowledge on turbo's i'm trying to reduce the load on the electric oil pump i'll be using for this project what i want to know is can i reduce the oil pressure to the turbo as the load/boost drops off the reason i want to do this is the oil pumps seem to be a weakness in rearmount applications

not sure about the system but i've had all the options from standard cats to test pipes standard definatley restrictive unsilenced decats sounded harsh silenced decats were not much diffferant sports cats seems to sound deeper and engine pulls more smoothly also passed mot with these all on an unbranded sports system also didn't have any trouble with engine management light with any

i'm pretty sure they are all the same on all de's although i've seen some without the pulley the viscous fan would go on with a shorter belt to match

always the way anything i want to buy thats too heavy/big to post always the other end of the country when i had my mr2 i was talking to a guy on one of the forums we were both doing nitros on our mr2's except he had the camry v6 he says come have a look turns out he's in scotland like i said always the way

my pipework layout is going to be more like this than the sts setup http://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/486771-my-rear-mount-turbo-fabrication.html

had most of this visable on my 53 plate recently when i changed the engine had minor surface rust only and i live by the sea

for the record guys i do have some experiance in this sort of thing diy turbo capri,x19 and golf gti ,v8 into capri,bmw and ,nitrous mr2 gt turbo so as much as i'm making it up as i go along and a z newbie i have some idea what i'm doing. i've had my z for 2 years had 3 differant exhausts on it ,decats,silenced decats and now sports cats and recently changed the engine(dont want to do that again) that said i dont know it all far from it (dont tell my son i said that) so any comments or suggestions are much appreciated

my thoughts exactly like i said at the start a lot of talk and hearsay about the subject but not from many people who have any actual experiance of it or the ability to do it themselves

i do 1000 miles a year its a toy so i quite literally dont care how long it lasts i'm just having fun.

yea i dont disagree about the oil system if it aint broke dont fix it but it wasn't designed to be run to the rear of the car and back again and looking at the scuffs under mine from all the huge speed bumps around here i'd be paranoid about it worst case is i try a dedicated system and it kills the turbo it was a cheap chinese knock off and i'm doing this for fun so i'll give it a go any way

does anyone have a rearmount turbo setup on a z there seems to be a lot of talk and people slating this setup but not from anyone with actual experiance of one yes i know its laggy but most of my driving is around town 30mph limits and when it's not i rev the s##t out of it i'm going to start my own rearmount soon a little winter project so if anyone has any actual experiance of this or tips i'm all ears Already got the turbo twin scroll gt35 gonna make a quick spool setup for it and i know it goes against public opinion but i'm seriously considering a dedicated oil system with a cooler really dont like the idea of running the oil feed all the to the way back was gonna run the oil pump through a speed controller fed from a pressure sensor to give me control of the oil pressure should extend the life of the pump as well

just fitted a lightened flywheel and an uprated clutch to mine seemed silly not to change it as i was replacing the engine good job too i dont know how the old dm flywheel was holding together dont know what people are complaining about the chatter is hardly noticeable and definatly more revvy i was going to stick with a standard dm but im going to do a rear mount turbo setup next year and looking at the one i took out i dont think it would last long

been looking into this myself wont be till next year as i've just replaced my engine due to a horrible knocking noise , couldnt find where it was coming from after pulling it out it turns out to be the flywheel falling apart but at least i have a decent engine to boost now. anyway to the point from what i can see the rear mount setup is easy to do as a diy project yes it's laggy ,the turbo has to sized carefully usually a t04e or gt35 and you have the complication of having to scavenge the oil from the turbo generally with an electric pump which can be troublesome but it's a simple easy conversion and by the time the air reaches the engine through all that pipework and an intercooler the charge temp is pretty cool important if youre running a standard high compression engine which i will be

yea will probably get mine from tarmac, recommendation counts for a lot and the price is good have to wait till payday paid 116 for my y pipe 120 for the exhaust and 40 for the decats off ebay all new but it took me a month to get at that price so if u cant wait then pay the money

where did you get the hfc's got silenced de-cats in mine with my system it's just too noisy

I have the same y pipe mine came from toyosports ltd haven't fitted it yet much less restrictive than the original build quality ok i'm happy for the money.

the thb-bury hands free control unit which connects to the dock (into which the Bluetooth or phone specific cradle slots into)

Hi guy's Just bought my first z had it a month now and my face is killing me something to do with the silly grin I've got on it every time I drive it or for that matter every time i think about driving it

HI Has anyone tried replacing the Nissan encrypted bury unit with a standard bury unit if so do the steering wheel controls still work I just happen to have a couple lying around as you do
