^Goddamn that's a clean a$s S14! You make me regret in getting my turbo Integra, I wonder how I'll do against a stock SR? I got a Turbonetics 50 trim running on 5psi, pulls hard and spools (3k rpm) fast.

Nothing is wrong with the engine. I just happened to drive a couple of TT lately. Funny how you said that because prior to that I was going to put just one turbo in. lol. My neighbor recommended the same thing. It seemed more economical. But the more I put thought into it I decided to just go ahead and do the complete swap. Plus I would have an extra engine incase "ish" happens. As opposed to being sol if something happens later and i'm not prepared for it. Now adays its hard to find a good engine that you can say you trust.
I don't think 1 big turbo will work for me. The engine compartment is something like a miracle. They utilize every single space in there. I don't have the smallest of hands which would be a great advantage for this car. Thats a problem in itself already. There's nothing wrong with the tr@nsmission except that its an automatic and that I hate them. I've had a manual my whole life except for my explorer. I even tested for my driver's license on one many moons ago. lol. The only reason why i bought the automatic is because of the price. But since the engine is out might as well shell out a couple more bucks and put a manual tr@nsmission in. It easy to find people who are parting out their z so I can get those parts at a cheap price.
Maintenance will be more than usual but thats fine because it's not my DD. It's my "hobby/weekend" car. It won't get driven as often as my other vehicles. I get pleasure out of doing things to it and feeling the change in performance. Thanks for the advice. I do so much homework you'd think i'm in nissan school..lol. I thought about putting a small cpu together from parts layin around and put it in the car so I can run OBD anytime I wish without having to lug my laptop around. But thats another project all within itself. Tuning will be something new to me. I will have to get some consultants. I'm used to fixing "deuce and a quarters" so this engine is more sophisticated that what i'm used to.

I thought you parted out the car that's why I asked about the engine and tr@nny. I'd get rid of the tr@nny since its automatic, I'm pretty sure you can get some sort of money off of it at a junkyard, eBay or something.
I haven't experienced a TT setup myself first hand but thinking about it it does make sense to me, having 2 smalls turbos making just as much power as 1 big turbo so why even have 2 turbos? TT setup probably gonna be more expensive as well since you probably gonna have to run 2 wastegates, etc.
Small turbos = Spool faster but no real big power
Big turbos = Spools slower but big power
I think you can run 1 turbo bruh, get like a 50-57 trim turbo and you should be straight. You might just need to find a exhaust manifold that'll let you run it, can't run turbo without that. I just did a Google search and looked at the engine bay and it seems that your turbo would sit up at top so you should have some sort of room for it and the piping.
When going forced induction your main concern is gonna be tuning.
TUNE TUNE TUNE if you don't have a proper tune your car and whole setup is gonna be a waste of money and time, that's the one thing you
MUST not cheap out on is tune. Another member here made a thread about going turbo not to long ago for his DC (Integra) and he didn't know what he was getting himself into here's the thread if you wanna browse through. ↪🔗

The 300 is sick, it was a beast in stock form. A friend of mine had one back in the day....
Anyway, if you are going with one turbo look into the gt30r (GT3076), it can give you up to 550whp and it spools at about 3500rpm. However, to get this, you need new cams with sprockets, 750 injectors, and whole bunch of other stuff. Also, you should really do this power on JE or Wossner pistons, not on stuck pistons.

Umm.. I'm pretty sure he could run the car on a stock block without any problems with a proper tune 'till he get his cash up to do some internal work. He's definitely gonna have to upgrade his injectors and fuel pump, he won't have to upgrade his clutch unless he plans on turning up the boost to like 10psi+. He needs to get an understanding on how turbo works as well, no point in going turbo and not knowing what's going on with the engine. Cams and pistons = $$$, but I highly doubt he's gonna track that Z32 so..
