The Nissan 300ZX Turbo was a variant of the Nissan Z31 Z-car that was introduced for the 1984 model year. The 300ZX Turbo was only built in a liftback coupe body style, but was available with a T-Top or slicktop (hardtop) roof.

Nov 26, 2016 · My aim is for something to produce about 10 - 12 lbs. (max) of boost with good drivability. A simple bolt-on replacement would be ideal. As is with the OEM Turbo (at 10 lbs) I had the car on the dyno showing 220 RWHP at around 6000 RPM.
