I have looked everywhere and havn't found an aftermarket turbo header. Is there any? or not? and why wouldnt there be?

 

Nope... you'd have to get it custom made.

Why? Because the demand is low, and those desiring it have different views on how they want it to be.

You might be able to find someone on the internet / hybridz who has made several & will make another.

 

technically, there is no such thing as a turbo "header". turbo "manifold" yes.

 

liar liar pants on fire. the header term means equal length tubing for each exhaust port. there for you can make a turbo header. manifold is just runers into one collection tube no real design put into it.

 

well, i guess i did see them once. for a z32. and they cost a TON!

 

meh, not many Z's that have them. not really all to pupolar with the space we have to work with. much more popular on 4 bangers. SR's, 4G's and civics.....

 

Just make one like this

 

^^^ pft... cake! I could do that blindfolded and hands tied behind my back! Or could I ???

 

lemme ask you this.... any one else see a possible issue with turbo placement ?

aka exhaust exit on the front turbo compared to the intake on the rear turbo?

and TT is cool loooking, but pointless.

 

Yeah... looks like a tight fit. But if that guy can build that crazy manifold, I'm sure he can figure out a downpipe for it.

 

i'd just about have sex with that motor if the pipes didnt look like fat kids fingers

 

OH NO 2 TURBOS, it isnt RELIABLE!.

i kinda want to slap a positive displacement supercharger on one of these, kinda have it off to the side, thers alot of room to work with in straight 6 z's so i dont know what that comment was earlier about not having much room, try workin on something front wheel drive?

i do admit they arent the roomiest engine bays, my '65 chevy c-10 pickup i could practly live in the engine bay

 

TT L series motors work better in RHD cars with the steering wheel shaft, brake/clutch master cylinders on the opposite side of the engine bay.

Even putting a big turbo on a LHD Z car is a pain since you're fighting for the same space with all the "driver" controls.

 

HA! That's an understatement. It took me quite a while to squeeze my T3/T4 up onto the manifold.

 

thats why we need a DOHC swap for these cars....



an affordable mass manufactured one. if some one could do it, i garuntee they'd be rich. i know its been done, but im talking about engineering their own head design on a cnc mill or somethingget the mapping right that one time and mass produce it. they'd be filthy rich!!!!!!!!!!!one!1!!

 

you can actually still get plenty of the nissan DOHC heads in japan for about a grand, their a little hard to find, but i have seen them.

 

didn't OS Giken make a DOHC head for the L-series?

 

those are the ones that are almost impossible to find and when you do they go for like $7k, but the factory DOHC heads are easier and usually alot cheaper to find.

 

i thouht the DOHC Z models in japan were using the skyline motor at the time which i thought was like a 4 banger....

 

in japan ANY THINGS possible, trust me i been there

 

no, most of the early z motors where 2000cc L6's but cars like the 432 and a few other cars got the head.

good read i guess right there. L20 had DOHC, and wont work with our L series i so sad. looks like you'll have to make your own or find a OS Giken head in good enough condition for a rebuild and resurface....




3rd option. build your own:

its 2+2 though.... ewwwie!!! and coulda made a more free flowin exhaust. and i woulda stuck with single turbo just top mount it like he did on the TT setup.

 

that 2+2 goes fast backwards.

they made the older 2+2 models funkier than the newer ones.
frankly i like having pop out windows in the back any way

 

If you can find an LY28, those had a crossflow head, but are super rare. I believe only competition Z's had them over there. N/A those motors supposedly put out close to 300hp. BTW, for the original posting, Greddy makes a turbo manifold for the L28, but you won't be able to afford it anyways.

 

http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread...hlight=ka+head that build up, 3 ka heads and alot of time and thats a rhd fairlady.....about a year ago i think their was a guy making a header that he sold on ebay for around 450. it kinda resembled the 4 barrel carb manifold. but good luck finding a old greddy one
