First top mount single turbo 370Z

98intrigue

So if anyone hasn't caught on with my title or me dropping hints, it's time to finally announce that I'm doing a single turbo build

I've been having boost withdrawals since I traded my single turbo G35 in for the Z. Since October, a local shop had been toying with the idea of building a twin turbo kit for the 3.7L. I showed some interest, but there was no way I could afford it. Back in February, we talked more about it and it came closer to a reality...but I was still weary on spending so much money.

When I contacted Shawn @ Speed Freak Fabrications/Lutz Performance to get a quote on an install, he mentioned he could build me a single turbo kit. As soon as he said single, I was sold! I met Shawn a few years ago when he was building a single turbo kit for my friend's M Coupe. I'm glad we've stayed in touch since, because I coudln't trust anyone else to fab up something like this.

The build list includes:
Precision billet 6262 turbo .82 a/r
Precision 750 intercooler
Tial Q BOV
Tial MVR wastegate
Deatschwerks 600cc injectors
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Z1 25-row oil cooler kit
JWT oil pan spacer
ACT 6-puck clutch
Fidanza flywheel
Z Speed HD CSC kit
Innovate Wideband
Blitz SBC ID-III

Here are some pictures of the build so far

More to come, so stay tuned I dropped the car off Thursday night and it will be finished and tuned for ZDayz!
