I'm done with all the links, they were all good! I only have one more question.Do you have to upgrade the injectors at all, to match the power increase or boost that the turbo makes?

My understanding is that intake turbos pull more air to push more air IN and push the emissions out faster throughout the system, and manifold turbos pull or force the emissions OUT faster to help the engine get rid of exhaust faster and pull in fresh air faster right? IDK, help!

Sorry, hope I didn't just go full retard:ughdance:

Where the turbo is mounted doesn't really matter. It can even be mounted at the rear of the vehicle.
All FI is, by definition, pushing (forced) air into the engine (induction). To pull air through the engine would require a partial vacuum on the exhaust side - not very practical.

If you are referring to superchargers, they are usually mounted with one end toward the front of the engine so they can use the front drive belt for power.

I know what superchargers do haha, but i'm asking if you have to upgrade injectors along with turbos because of the increased air flow to the cylinders, or does the fuel to air ratio not change enough to have to upgrade injectors? :tiphat:

Yes you have to upgrade injectors and fuel pump

It all depends how much horse power you make. stock injectors are good for about 500hp on the Z. The A/F is changed by getting a tune using Uprev.

not sure if that helps?

For more on turbocharger goodness...

Thanks! Got my answer:happydance: Too bad there's not a way to get 390whp without supercharging or turbo, those make more than that, yet it seems too far out of reach for just bolt-on mods. 390whp seems like a good number though, not too much and not too little.:rolleyes:

Any more details on why 390whp is "just right"?

Well from what I've heard the Z tends to be fast without feeling like it is, kinda sounds like the GT-R issue. I feel like 390whp would be enough for anyone to feel the kick or feeling of fast without breaking their neck. But that's just my opinion, how everyone else feels is valid too.:tiphat:
