I recently bought a 90 NA that I have some questions about. 1. it has 150,000 miles on it, but I would like to do a single turbo on it. Is that too many miles to start that now. If it is would it be better to get the TT engine put in or what?
2. the car has Tenzo mufflers on it that I like a lot, but I want the whole exhaust done. What would be a good size to get made for it. If I do a turbo I will need a bigger exhaust I imagine, but if that doesn't work out then I still want it to run well with an NA.
3. I think my clutch went out. From what I have heard it could also be the master cylinder, I'm not really sure. If it is the clutch, what would be a good clutch to buy, that would have better holding power than stock, and have a long life? Thanks

 

ok first of all unless you have like 5000 dollars your not getting a turbo...second buy either an exhaust system from ANSA or HKS there are other ones that are good also but those are the ones that i find the best...third what is wrong with your clutch...like what are the problems whats it doing that makes you think your clutch went out...it could be your fly wheel and you might have to have it replaced...or it could be your slave cylinder valve it could be something small you know...but anyways good luck and keep on z'n

shes a work in progress!

 

It would be cheaper to buy a front clip and put it in or supercharge your Z. A guy over at zcar.com just finished SC his car and it cost about $3K. Go their and do a search. It is not worth it to TC a Z, the cost is around $10k

 

I would be looking to spend about $5000, I got my car for $4000, so that would be $9000 total. I would learn a lot in doing it also, I have not found a TT Z worth buying for $9000 so I'm considering it, I've got some time to think on it though, so I'm not too worried. I'll look into that supercharger stuff too, thanks. About my clutch, the pedal is completely limp until about half an inch from the bottom and then it feels kind of squishy. It won't go into any gear when the car is on. That's about all that's going on with that. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

For your clutch, here is what you do.
1. Check your clutch master cylinder, if it is below minimum level, top it off.
2. Bleed your clutch system. Here is how I did it on my 87 turbo. Jack the car up and place it on jackstands, make sure the front and rear are jacked up. Make sure your clutch master cylinder is filled. Fit a hose on the clutch damper screw and put it in clean brake fluid (Enough to keep the hose submerged). Open the screw about half a turn and have someone press the clutch down. Close the screw and have them let it up slowly. Do this till no air bubbles are coming out. Keep an eye on the clutch fluid level, make sure its filled. Do the same on the slave cylinder. That should fix your problem. If not you may have a defective master or slave cylinder, but its best to replace both together.
Let me know if that fixes your clutch problem.
