eh?...........

For newbies that don't know how a turbo works and their specific implementation on the L6.

I'm trying to get all the most common questions/answers setup as sticky's.

oh ahah i tought you were asking something...like what is a T U R O B...:P
hehe

now... if we could just get the newbies to read these stickies before posting their "how does my turbo work?" threads. :D

Thanks LWW :D An admin should make it to where they cannot post until all sticky's are read.. :D

Now that's an interesting idea... hmmm...

If nothing else, you can reply to their question with the link to the particular sticky that answers their questions.

They have a setup at work like that.. You cant log in to the system unless you read the "NEW FYI" Check a box and sign an electronic signature.. This way you have no excuse when you lie to people :D

s/c, where the heck do you work man?! I thought my company had the worst nazi's but I think your's might have taken the win! :rolleyes:

Yeah so I'm new here and I wanted to know how my turob works? I didn't feel like clicking on the link so I figured I'd just ask. ;)

turob, turob, lol.

Yea I felt like I would add something stupid. Anyway when I read the title of this I was expecting something along the lines of, these turbo's are really good. Or these turbos suck. Something about the life and durability of the 280ZX Turbos.

Something about the life and durability of the 280ZX Turbos.

That mostly depends on who's driving the car...

Yeah my company has the Original Nazi's... It is Top secret I cannot specify where I work :D

It's an underground base in the secret nazi forest.

Maybe some howto or whatthe pages/links would help those wanting explaination on terms, concepts or equipment.

I would be interest in helping compile info if i can actually help. :)

Here's a page with a million compressor maps of turbos. If you're searching on what turbo might be a good match, you can use the maps to help you decide on a turbo that will maximize your intended purposes i.e drag, circuit, autocross, etc.

WOW :eek: That has to be the biggest collection of compressor maps I've ever seen. Good find on that one.

Then click on the NEW THREAD button.

there should be a sticky on how to use the site for dummies or something

bad phrassing :075: Try saying new to online forums instead of ( DUMMIES)
There are no stupid questions, only stupid people answering the questions.

I beg to differ.

What's the number to 911? Is indeed a stupid question.
As is: Why isn't my Civic as fast as a SR-71?

The list goes on and on.

Besides, when he said Dummies, I think he was using it in relation to the "For Dummies" books. Like "Windows for Dummies" or "How to use an Internet Forum for Dummies" ;)

After reading that turbo info page again, I have a question: I know the Z31's T3 will fit on an L28ET, but are the specs still the same? ("60 comp trim and .63 turbine trim" for the 280ZX's T3)

The later water cooled Z31 turbos were actually smaller than the turbo's on the L28ET and early VG30ET's. I cant remember off hand what year they started using the water cooled turbos though. Before that though they were identical as far as I know. But I could be wrong.

i was refering to the books

Thats what I figured ;)

Those charts hurt my head trying to understand them. So will someone explain to me how to read them, cause I dont think I was reading them correctly. thanx.

That may help ya.

HA HA HA HA YES Lol. Nazi's are so stupid.

All nissan T-3s are identical except for whether water cooled or not.

The later z31 turbo is a t25.
