Ahhh, I can't decide! Both are only missing a fuel pump

 

Turbo =

 

$500 cheaper

Bitch to install

Comes with some exhaust I don't want which I can flog

Little less known about it than the Vortech

No boost = better fuel

More torque

 

SC=

 

Easier install

Nice shiny polished

Known about and others have done it on here

 

What's the general feel about turbo'd Z's? feels a little like it's a car that suits SC better for some reason.

Well the bulk of the bits have been found, just some injectors and fuel return to find now. Might fit a Walbro pump though aswell. My FI experiance currently stands me at roughly £2300 for the HKS kit, oil cooler, spark plugs, cusco catch can and AMM oil sump. I don't think that's too bad really!

Injectors sourced, some fuel return bits found and....... a cheap run around car bought for when I'm replacing the soon to be shagged rods and pistons :lol: A non turbo 1.5ltr diesel feels pretty slow, but I could get used to 70mpg!!!

Hero chariot. TUD5 engines rule. Btw put an induction kit on it will make it 2 seconds faster to 60 no joke. Also if you got the bosch pump throw some vegi oil in there it will run sweet.

Veg oil you say.... :)

 

Started work on the Z today, but had to stop due to the crappy light in these short days. Managed to fit one of those mesh grills from Z man, remove the airbox, crash bar and the Idler pulley which was stuck on good! Tomorrow is spoken for and so is new years day, so it'll have to wait :rant:

The bracket weight saving mods have been completed, making this the best HKS S/C kit in existence! B)

Got a few days away now, so not much will happen for a while. just need to find a fuel return and fuel pump to finish this off though now.
