Making a turbo Z5

[andym323]

Actually, always wondered what 'limey' means?????? Sounds quite quaint

[goodorange]

english/british sailors used to eat limes to get vitamin c in order to avoid that damn scurvy, hence limey. this was pretty off topic. back to the turbo z5's, cheers.

Baggsy first shout at your cams then mate

[Prototender]

everyones kinda thread jacked this poor guys thread. but yeah far as I'm concerned their yours pay shipping. and wtf is baggsy?

[Project Protoge]

I don't mind. All the info is good stuff and is performance oriented. Thats really what were trying to do anyway.

Well I finished rebuilding the t3 and making a few changes to the kit like check valves for the vaccum lines so hopefully when I am under boost the sensors should just read full throttle. I plan to install the turbo on the weekend so wish me luck ( this will be the third time installing the damn thing ).

[Intruder]

As they say - "Third time's the charm"... Good luck!

[Prototender]

yeah deffinitely good luck. i'm sure we all wish you well in this.

yeah took the valve cover off of my 98 z5 its looking the way the diagram shows.

my 98 has single...
i want the dual... now

can anyone tell from part numbers whether the head is the same from the one with 2 sprockets... and the one with 1 sprocket?

i already have 2 heads, i dont wanna have to get a third just for a second sprocket..

Hey **** heads, Just look at the stickers inside the driver's door and compare build dates.
****, EVeryone else with a 98 z5 powered car should check and do the same, then we can probably narrow the **** down to within a specific month. or so

Dohc Z5

Could this DOHC Z5 be the J-spec Variable timing Z5 listed on Corksports web site?

[Prototender]

wouldn't know how it got into my car cause it was stock with the dohc.

Could this DOHC Z5 be the J-spec Variable timing Z5 listed on Corksports web site?

No.

[dreamcastninja]

i know essential speed used to sell a turbo kit for the z5... does anyone know any sites that actively sell the z5 turbo kit?>

[Project Protoge]

As of right now I don't know of any turbo kits out their for our cars.

[dreamcastninja]
