Turbo?

I have a 300zx 90 non-turbo. I would like to know if you can install a turbo? Because someone told me there's not enough room.

Yeah, the turbo frame rails are spaced farther apart to make room. I would just buy a TT, as the work needed to convert an N/A is alot. A few people have done it, but it's just not worth it.

lol You can't just put turbos (or even A turbo) on your motor. In 9 years in this community, I've only heard of one success story... the rest of them all end with blown motors. You have a lot of research to do.

The only way to do it is with a full motor swap... coming from a purchased front clip, which ensures you'll have all the parts you'll need. And it's only worthwhile if your Z has sentimental value or is in absolute pristine condition. Otherwise, as hoov said, sell it and buy a TT.
