TC is definitely more difficult on a RHD car but hopefully I've come up with a viable packaging solution. The Z presents further packaging issues over an E36 due to the sloping bonnet and lack of room either side of the engine but after having a poke around a mates 318 coupe last night it also seems to have a couple of advantages over the E36. Mine's non AC and has copious amounts of room for a FMIC and the engine despite being behind the front axle line is not as tight to the firewall.
I'm planning on losing the entirety of the stock induction system, simple plenum like the ones in you pics, bigger MAF and TB. I can't help but wonder if a standalone ECU may be worth it over trying to tune the stock one.
Cheers for the offer of the help. I'll certainly take you up on it for a few bits.
Just realized you're a fellow Kiwi! I've been living in the UK for a few years now (married an English bird). |
Well, I would imagine, the little red Ti puts a grin every time, I mean just likes to rev up and just feels right. I'd say the biggest obstacle is going to be the manifold for the turbo, and how you mount it. If you are good with tig, go for it. You will do it. I would keep the stock manifold really, the MAF could use a upgrade, look into the PMAS HPX as it will work well. But truth be told for the power you are after, you might want a custom ECU system like Link (NZ Made).
Yep, no problem, happy to help where I can. I am in Northland, just a few hrs from Auckland
Good going with the English bird matey,
you are overall better off in UK than here.
