First top mount single turbo 370Z
 

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:happydance:

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:tiphat: I dropped the car off Thursday night and it will be finished and tuned for ZDayz!:driving:

Are you gonna be happy with one?

Way to be outside the box on this platform...

in for win!

I agree. Only thing that concerns me is the bracket for the turbo. I would have thought you would need a little more support to hold the turbo then just that. either way i have a feeling this is going to be epic and help so many because there are alot of people looking for the single turbo setup and just never pulled the trigger since STS (i want to say) was the only one making them and they were a little high in price. I am loving it though. welcome to the family and try to get your garage on the forum to answer some of the communitys questions.

sickness my friend, sickness.

6262 should be yummy

oh and M370 + forced induction results? sweet!

I would imagine/hope so!!! :tup:

Nice. What kind of numbers are we aiming for and how much $$$ does all this cost you?

2k cheaper

crosses fingers!

I didnt know this was the build in mind! Just when I talked myself into an N/A build you throw this in my face oi!

Congrats and in for results.

damn props bro looks clean and u went boost!

Very nice man, now I definitely want to come check this car out sometime!

I wonder what is the difference between single turbo and TT?


TT just gives more power?

Dam! Single 6262 should be a beast on the 3.7L..

GL OP!

Different thinking there.
