chris240 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 sweet build-up,keep up the great work. that is one big hairdryer ! As Ive been living under a rock Ive never heard of Holset turbos...how do they compare to Garrets and the others ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 thanx guys, i will try my best to keep it up to date:) ummm holset compared to garret... well the particular model i have gone for is apparently between a gt2871 n a 3071 bush bearing compared to garrets ball bearing but ment to give better response due to a superior blade design or something like that this one is only oil cooled but shouldnt be an issue the physical size is larger than a garret can handle upwards of 35psi as they are designed generally for trucks should be nice to drive without to much lag, my goal is around 350hp at the wheels somewhere around 17psi thanx Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuclear_z Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Looks sweet mate... What computer are you going to run??? Any thoughts yet? Love the look of the RB in there....

nedloh312 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Your door looks different to mine... I had to mount the locking unit completely different because of the windows. I shoulda installed power windows first so I wouldn't have had to find a place where it wouldn't jam... ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.R. Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There's a diference between S1 & S2 2+2 Doors. The Bus is a late S1 I believe Dave... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoulda installed power windows first so I wouldn't have had to find a place where it wouldn't jam... ^^ yeah minesis a 3/76 and has the same as yours. this one would be prob the late 76 or 77 78. cause i was looking at central locking as i had few difficulties mounting it. this seemed easier way but the door definetly different. some things remind me when i was working on my 2+2. the pedal box clutch accelerator cable all very similar to mine. works well so u on a right track. ( i just wished i went the next step and installed with ABS, oh well something for the 240z.) not sure did i see power steering on your list? i cant wait to see this thing completed. that power window kit looks like a very easy fittment. may have to look into this and removing my heavy 280zx motors to adapt this kit.
