True. The thing is you can run 8lbs of boost without any trouble. Anything above that will require a piggy back computer and other things. You can get a good amount of power from just running 8lbs of boost.

For just adding some more horse power and torque plus MPG at low RPM's then 8lbs of boost is nice.

But your totally right. If you want to be running higher boost for more power. Its going to involve more than what i just listed

 

If I was going to do a super turbo xj I'd just swap in the engine from a '96 Twin Turbo 300zx. 3.0 V6 with 300hp at the crank. That engine is capable of 500+ hp with minor ( don't confuse minor with cheap lol ) modification.

 

its not just to run higher boost numbers. you will not make as much power at a certain boost level when compared to a motor setup with a real ignition/fuel control and a way to cool intake charge temps(intercooler of some sort or meth injection) on the same psi.


also, im not so sure on the better MPG's at lower rpms...the larger injectors seem to get rid of that without a real fuel system control

 

i think a guy on NAXJA is running a supra motor in his.


edit, anyways....cluttering up this thread. need to make a new thread if were going to discuss this further

 

1JZ or a 2JZ??

 

i think 2jz, been a while since ive looked at it.

 

Im sorry I meant more MPG if you have a fuel system control. Your going to need to upgrade to larger injectors. Maybe not the 30Lb that most of the guys are running but atleast 25's or something. There will be a higher rate of flow if your running higher boost levels.

I forgot the intercooler stuff. And I agree. If it needs to continue to be discussed we should make a thread and continue.

 

Took the xj wheels off and put them on the zj to see if they'd fit...well they fit...as long as i dont have to ever turn





OHH cant forget the 38.5's

 

painted grill

 

Pics? (Sorry if you posted some. I don't see anything on my work computer.)

 

looks good man, white is tricky to paint

 

X2

 

replaced fog lights

 

Thanks! its more white than the xj but i like it !

 

thats just because you havent gotten the chance to dirty it up yet. once its covered in mud it will all look the same haha
