I dont worry about the turbo set up much.... you see.. I did mine my lancer gts turbo by my self and the tunning was with the help of a friend so I wouldnt mind boosting the Z my self but im a bit concerned about the wright trim to buy?? up to now im more into the sport trim bit I realized the sport trim dones not have the big brame caliper kit

You are comparing apples to coconuts my friend... Turboing your Lancer vs Turboing a VQ motor. Let us know how it goes. I can tell you there are only a couple GOOD tuning shops in the U.S that can effectively tune the Z motor so you don't detonate the engine.

You know the compression on the Z is 11:0:1 if I'm not mistaken. Your lancer was probably like 8:5:1 or 9:0:1 and if you blew that engine up a new one would cost a couple hundred.

I don't know you but I'm going to give you my 2 cents and say you may be over your head on this one.

Wait are we talking about "boosting cars" or "adding boost to cars" haha

Whatever you decide to go with you will enjoy it, it is an awesome car.

Please don't take what I am saying like I am trying to say you don't have the competency to do it. I am saying that the VQ motor for DIY boosting is not like other cars and with the high compression you can't just do a sit in the car with a laptop tune....

If you think you can install and tune a 370z with a twin turbo kit then I say go for it, let us know how it goes....

Yes 2 throttles, which as you know from a tuning perspective makes things a little more difficult.

Just promise us if you turbo it you put up a thread of you progress.

FYI- most/all the companies that turbo this motor yank then engine out of the bay.
