Before you guys tell me i'm full of shit let me give u some history. I used to own a 1990 Mazda Mx-6 N/A. As u know they make a turbo model for that vehical as well. Everyone told me because of the 9.5:1 compression and the small injectors as well as having a VAF set up VS. Map set up that it COULDN'T be DONE! Well after adding an FMU turbo, manifold, alittle tuning the VAF and the proper gauges the car was running 14.5's Vs 18+ in the quarter. The only problem i ran into was the clutch not holding the power so i upgraded the clutch.
I will have to do more research but running 6-9 psi on the stock 300zx motor I should be able to just bolt on stock turbo & turbo injectors & boost controller & radiator(will have to look into seeing if i can use the N/A one) Drill holes in the oil pan for oil drain and everything else seems straight forward. with the higher compression 6 psi will be tons of boost!

MY 2 Cent's i'll let u know how its works.

Yeah, and i'm going to be the unquestioned dictator or the earth. Lets see who acheives their goal first.
No one said it cant be done, It a waste of time and money when you can just buy a factory turbo model.
But to each their own. Have fun

I'm also looking into converting my 1985 300zx n/a to turbo. prob buying an old turbo parts car and just taking off all the necessary pieces yunno. (as well as swapping the lower compression piston heads) it seems relatively realistic to me, just a few $K in labor yunno... you can do so much more with a turbo. and this way is better if you dont want to sell the car u have.

Well, it's not really a waste of time. It's definitely worth it. And many people have done it already it's really not that big of a deal to turbo an N/A (so you aren't really pioneering new frontier or anything). My buddy actually did it and his is a lot quicker now. To run boost any higher than stock you will need an intercooler though.

The best thing for the oil pan is to just get a turbo oil pan, but if you want to drill it and make your own oil return go ahead. You will need a turbo ECU too. Also, you will need to swap the crossmember, because there isn't quite enough room for the turbo with the placement of the N/A engine mounts. Oh yeah and you will also need to relocate the alternator, as well. And the N/A radiator is fine to use. I think that's it. If you run into any problems let me know.

ping, ping, ping, BOOM!! you can make good power but not safely. you will also have to get a tt radiiator to fit the IC piping it wont couple around. well it might i never done but so ive been told. Go to www.twinturbo.net and search on this topic you will find more than enough info, dont forget to put on your flame suit though some of the guys are asses.

Thanx for the tip's guys i'm not worried abotu pinging i'll have an EGT AF meter and boost gauge i'll be fine. i wouldn't need to run anymroe boost then stock because of the high compression ratio. getting the turbo oil pan would be a good idea but i'm not sure if i need to turbo ECU i think bigger injectors and an fmu or rrfpr would be enough. its something to look into tho. The main reason i wanna do this is because my friend has a blown up tt motor (threw a rod) I i'll basically have everything i need. ttyl

Considering I've seen the new Toyota Celicas with turbos and those have like 11.5 compression, I say it can be done.
I'm just wondering the cost effectiveness of what you're proposing. It might've been cheaper when all is said and done to have just bought a tt engine.

A friend of mine has a blow tt engine in his garage. Turbos are good but the bottom end is done. He is going to basically give me the engine so it is cost effective.
