For the Naturally Aspirated (NA) 300ZX:
Finding a complete turbo kit for a NA 300ZX is more challenging than it used to be. Many of the companies that specialized in these kits have either stopped producing them or are harder to find. Your options are:
* Used Market: eBay, Craigslist, and various car forums (like Nissan forums dedicated to the 300ZX) are your best bet. Be prepared for varying quality and condition. Thorough inspection is crucial before purchasing.
* Parts Sourcing and Building Your Own: This is the most time-consuming and technically demanding option, but it allows for customization. You'll need to source individual components like the turbocharger, manifold, intercooler, piping, injectors, fuel pump, ECU, and other necessary parts from different suppliers. This requires significant mechanical knowledge.
For the Turbocharged (TT) 300ZX:
If you have a TT model, finding parts is significantly easier, as you're likely looking for upgrades or replacements rather than a complete kit. You can find various performance parts from:
* Specialty Performance Parts Retailers: Companies like Z1 Motorsports, Summit Racing, and others specialize in Nissan parts, and particularly Z-car parts. They will offer upgrades, replacement parts, and potentially bolt-on kits to improve your existing turbo system.
Important Considerations:
* Legality: Check your local regulations regarding modifications to your vehicle's emissions and performance.
* Installation: Installing a turbo kit is a complex process. Unless you have significant mechanical experience, it's highly recommended to have a professional mechanic handle the installation.
* Tuning: A proper tune is absolutely crucial after installing a turbo kit. A poorly tuned turbo setup can severely damage your engine.
In summary, for a NA 300ZX, focus on the used market or consider the considerable challenge of sourcing parts to build your own kit. For a TT 300ZX, focus on upgrade parts from reputable retailers. Always thoroughly research any vendor before making a purchase.
