1996 MICRA SLX TURBO CONVERSION

[CMF_M1.CA.96]

Ok so I'm new to the forum guys and heres my story...

About 3 months ago I bought a little SLX micra in Forest green for a run around car/ daily driver ($1500) and I have always wanted to have a turbo car but not spend too much money.
My mate was throwing away his 300ZX T22's so i grabbed them off him and thought I may just put one of these on my little micra.

Now I am wondering if you guys could give me a hand letting me know what i would need to complete the conversion successfully and make it reliable as it is my every day car...

So far parts I have figured out that I need are:

-T22 Turbo
-Manifold (custom or bought off the forum)
-Dump Pipe
-Side Mount Intercooler and pipe work
-Exhaust
-Oil Return
-Oil Pressure Gauge
-Boost Gauge
-Tachometer
-Boost Controller
-Heavy Duty Clutch

Also instead of putting a boost controller would it be safe to just run it on minimum boost say 9psi?

Could I run the standard computer and just wind back the timing on the distributor?

mine,s a daily, running the stock ecu and 5 deg spark retard, you need to add a LOT of extra fuel @ boost tho

so you're running no cooler right?

do you have a big power difference?

also i would need to tune my computer right?

"so you're running no cooler right?

no intercooler, and about 2 x the grunt from 2 to 4 k rpm, and my computer is unchanged but the fueling was increased mechanically (modded reg, bigger injectors, and 5th injector)

 

[CMF_M1.CA.96]

Is there a way of doing it so you don't need a fifth injector?

Do your research! I have found a good 5/6 pages of information on this site, for my turbo conversion
