you're correct, I re-read and missed the part where he mentioned funds.. so I'll recant on that side of the issue. still, he was considering the 38mm, and that should be a good setup for this turbo, or if he decides to go to a bigger turbo in the future. plus, an external is easier to access...

yeah, I feel it could use some help on the sides.. I'll try to think of a way to fix that. EDIT:

Actually, I didn't even consider the Do-Luck to be honest.. I mainly combined the design of the ABFlug and an older Stillen lip design (A32 Maxima). But I can see elements of the Do-Luck in there, so I guess I can add that to the list.. perhaps, it is not what other pre-89 owners are looking...

well, it's nowhere near as nice as the renderings you posted.. but that really helped me. thanks. I used a paint brush and a smudge tool and went at it, haha. I like your first design the most btw, that's a beautiful and clean design.. I originally thought about doing a near stock look with...

I took one of the pics Razoe submitted and modified it into the lip I've been trying to render.. I'm not terrific with software in regards to designing. I have to thank him for submitting.. here's my rudimentary design:

... because if he ever upgrades, that wastegate may not provide what he needs. why would you recommend porting the internal wastegate when he's not concerned with that? he made no mention of money being a concern.

yeah, I read that going what the.. :squint:

I'm not a big fan of linking to the "other forums" because it doesn't seem to be favored too much.. but whatever, here's the result of a quick google search: just read this: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=254770 In other words, a 38mm would be fine for this application...

well, I've lightened mine to a certain extent by removing things like.. stock headunit/speakers, the windshield washer reservoir and all it's parts, stock exhaust and DP, stock suspension, moving the battery to the rear, stock steering wheel, stock seats, pre89 moldings, stock wheels, hydro-fan...

it's heavy, has surface rust, and is 23yrs old.. and at this point, I feel like anything I can do to Poodles in order to irk him will make me happy. though my very existence probably does a better job.. ;) I'll probably still put it back in with a thermostat though.. if not, aftermarket for a...

that's exactly what I had in mind.. did you use a 10" in the factory location? Anything larger would have fitment issues I assume.

well, I might just put it back in for the time being.. my issue is whether or not it will come on when it's supposed to. I read that it's wired to a temp sensor on the 7M in stock function, so that doesn't exactly help me too much. I'm thinking I'll have to modify it regardless of what I end...

agreed, Jose seems to have an intimate understanding of the VVT-i motors.

these are all pretty valid points.. my car was originally an '87 Turbo, so while the autos may have had them standard throughout, this car definitely had one factory. perhaps I should put something (stock or an aftermarket e-fan?) back in that position that runs constantly..

nah, I'm not getting at the engine so much as the difference in those models.. for some reason, the JZA70's didn't have them, but perhaps that's because they had the hydrofan versus mechanical. I have a mechanical fan, so that changes the way we look at things in that regard. in other words...

I'd argue that export markets were also MA70's.. but you do have a point as far as cooling in general. the reason I removed it is because I was under the impression that the fan was for the A/C.. I know they had another variation that had fans on the back side of radiator for the A/C IIRC...

Well, they do all say Blitz.. The numbers don't bother me too much though, Jeff. haha. I'll admit that after knowing what you meant by stock, I'll agree that it's different for sure.

It actually gets pretty warm in some parts of Japan.. especially in places such as Kyushuu or Okinawa. I asked an exchange student if it's hotter in Florida or where he's from in Japan, and he said Japan is slightly worse to my surprise. I have been told this numerous times now.. In other...

The Blitz ones I've seen looked pretty damn close to stock.. other companies have made these as well, I just can't seem to remember who.

I thought it was common sense to remove it but wanted to ask to see any other opinions.. in fact, I did removed it right after posting this for the reason you cited above. after browsing pics of jap JZA70s and not seeing it present, I figured well that pretty much does it.
